REVIEW: Moderating Love by Jax Calder (Queer Ways to Fall in Love #1)

  MODERATING LOVE Queer Ways to Fall in Love - Book One by Jax Calder Release Date: March 4, 2026 Review Gah, Jax Calder is incredible at writing a novella. Her brand of humour and talent at writing conversation and banter make the story come alive and keeps you engrossed in the story, but it also makes it feel fulsome even if it’s short. The storyline is delightful perfection. The cynic and the romantic build a kind of mutual respect and admiration moderating a forum online together. Until one day the online and real world collide in pure, unadulterated, sunshiny, romantic love. Honestly, I could read this over and over. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis I've spent two years defending true love against the internet's biggest cynic. For two years, I've been moderating QueerWaystoFallinLove, a forum where people share their romantic meet-cutes. And for two years, TruthGuardian has been the thorn in my optimistic side—debunking every sweet story with spreadsheets, ...

REVIEW: Courting the Dragon Warrior by Gigi Rivers (A Royal Arrangement #2)

  COURTING THE DRAGON WARRIOR A Royal Arrangement - Book Two by Gigi Rivers Release Date: March 6, 2026 Review Fantastic Story.  Loved their personalities, the path of their relationship, and their romance. It had a perfect amount of push and pull, secrets and lies, desire and fear. Meeting for the peace treaty isn’t the first time they’ve met; they just didn’t realize how deep that connection took them.  As times go, they find themselves falling in love, but secrets remain, and others are plotting against them and their families. It’s a powerful connection and love, and thoroughly enjoyable. Probably my favourite couple so far! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Two princes from enemy kingdoms. Forced to marry to end a war. Can they find love when so much stands against them? Dragon Warrior Prince Gerard bears the scars of a vicious attack from a Voltarian lightning sorcerer who stole half his vision and almost his life. Now Gerard must marry a Voltarian. He’ll...
