My Thoughts

I really loved this friends-to-lovers romance. It was super cute, emotional, sensual, and just a lot of fun to read. I related to both Poppy and Alex on a deep level. (I whole-heartedly agree with Alex about the sax.) I loved Poppy’s and Alex’s friendship and watching it turn to love. They had great chemistry and sexual tension. This is my second Emily Henry book and I’ve loved both. I look forward to reading more books written by her.

My Thoughts

RUTHLESS VOWS was everything I wanted in a sequel to DIVINE RIVALS and more. I was hooked on page one and despite the bittersweet ending, I loved this story immensely. I loved seeing more of the magic in this installment and learning more about Enva and Dacre and even getting their perspective every now and then. I really enjoyed seeing the contrast between Enva and Dacre’s relationship and Iris and Roman’s as the story progressed.

My Thoughts

Gah! I’m glad I chose to read DIVINE RIVALS after RUTHLESS VOWS was published. I need to read the rest of this story now! It was such a compelling read. I loved the premise so much. It felt like a “You’ve Got Mail” romantasy taking place during a war between Hades and Persephone but from the human perspective. I loved gradually learning about Enva and Dacre through the myths Iris and Roman shared with each other. Speaking of Iris and Roman, I loved them so much. The chemistry between them was fantastic. I also loved their banter.

My Thoughts

I really liked LOVE ON THE BRAIN. It was so much fun. I went into this thinking it was an enemies-to-lovers romance, which is one of my favorite tropes, but this was more of a blind-to-reality to lovers story. Despite the fact that Bee, a PhD neuroscientist, was a little dense in figuring out that Levi didn’t hate her, he actually loved her, I still enjoyed this “You’ve Got Mail” romance. I loved the chemistry between Bee and Levi. I loved their banter and humor once all the miscommunication issues got cleared up. I also loved Schrödinger and Félicette (their cats).
