It's beautifully written, with dedicated arcs for both of the main characters and a hard won romantic arc that somehow feels epic and down-to-earth at the same time.  [Read More [fa icon="long-arrow-right"]](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/in-a-jam) [![](https://www.loveinpanels.com/hubfs/YA%20Fantasy%203.20.23.png) ](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/young-adult-fantasy-reviews-3-20-23) ## [Young Adult Fantasy Reviews, 3-20-2023](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/young-adult-fantasy-reviews-3-20-23) [fa icon="calendar'] Mar 20, 2023 11:45:55 AM / by [Suzanne](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/author/suzanne) posted in [review](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/topic/review) [[fa icon="comment"] 0 Comments](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/young-adult-fantasy-reviews-3-20-23#comments-listing) More mini-reviews!  Reviews of *This Poison Heart*, *My Dear Henry*, *Blood Debts*, *Cruel Illusions*, *So This is Ever After* and *Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove*.

Charles starts a new series with *The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen*, an historical gay romance set in rural Kent, England. Gareth and Joss are together for a couple of blissful weeks at a London meeting house for gay men, but when Joss says he needs to go back to Kent for a while to tend to his business, Gareth breaks things off entirely. Gareth's father, a selfish nobleman, left young Gareth with his uncle when his mother died and started a new family. Gareth quite reasonably has abandonment issues and doesn't want to be left by another person he loves.

That means us bloggers and reviewers can safely post coverage of Harper Collins books without crossing the picket line. Among other things, the union secured wage increases for staff, which led the other big NYC publishers to increase wages. I mention this because unions aren't just good for the people in them, they're good for labor overall. I urge you to support the unions around you, even though it's "inconvenient" at times. I was really disappointed in my peers who continued promoting HC titles, reviewing them on Goodreads, etc. during the strike. Let's do better, friends. On to the books! ** [Read More [fa icon="long-arrow-right"]](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/harper-collins-mini-reviews) [![](https://www.loveinpanels.com/hubfs/Mini-Reviews-1-20.23.png) ](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/mini-reviews-supersized-edition) ## [Mini-Reviews - Supersized Edition!](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/mini-reviews-supersized-edition) [fa icon="calendar'] Jan 19, 2023 8:58:45 PM / by [Suzanne](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/author/suzanne) posted in [review](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/topic/review) [[fa icon="comment"] 0 Comments](https://www.loveinpanels.com/prose/mini-reviews-supersized-edition#comments-listing) I've fallen so far behind on reviewing books that I decided the only solution is to publish a big list of little reviews! These are primarily f/m contemporary romances, with a sapphic historical fantasy and two f/m contemporary fantasies thrown in. You'll notice that the content warnings are sparse and well, that's because it's been a while since I read the books. If you have questions about anything in particular, please let me know and I'll do some research for you! Ratings are based on whether or not I recommend them to fellow readers -  DNF (Did Not Finish), Pass, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary), Read It, Read it Soon.

This fake engagement romance is what I thought we were getting with that big crop of paranormal rom-coms that includes *The Ex* *Hex, Payback's a Witch*, and all the others. It's funny, sexy and generally a good time. It doesn't take itself too seriously and while there are internal and external obstacles in the protagonists' personal and romantic arcs, it's not a heavy book.

I'm* very* behind on these reviews, so I hope you're ready for a bunch of magical, murderous teens! Read on for short and sweet reviews of: - This Vicious Grace (The Last Finestra, #1), by Emily Thiede - Belladonna (Belladonna, #1), by Adalyn Grace - A Far Wilder Magic, by Allison Saft - The Liar's Crown (Dominions, #1), by Abigail Owen - Edgewood, by Kristen Ciccarelli I also want to warn folks that I read most of these before or around release date, so my recollection of the content warnings is kind of fuzzy. I apologize if I've missed some. Rating refresher! Categories are based on whether or not I recommend them to fellow readers -  DNF (Did Not Finish), Pass, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary), Read it Eventually, Read it Soon.
