Haiku Reviews...

 

Well Matched by Jen DeLuca


April's got big plans
and Mitch isn't part of them.
Until suddenly he is.


Contemporary romance .... 310 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(This series is so much fun!)






Applied Electromagnetism by Susannah Nix


A dreaded work trip
turns romantic when flash floods
strand Olivia and Adam.


Romantic comedy .... 244 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(An enemies to friends to more romance. I loved it.)






Risen (Alex Verus #12) by Benedict Jacka


Alex must battle

(This is the last book in this compelling magical series; I loved it as much as the first one, Fated, and all the others in between.)

  1. Whenever I see the Haiku Reviews title, I get so excited.

    Risen caught my eye. I am going to have to check that out.

    2. The Benedict Jacka series is one of my most favorite urban fantasy series. Alex Verus is a great character; he's a mage who can see different strands of the future. If you give them a try, definitely start with the first one, Fated. And yes, I am on Goodreads.

  2. DELuca's books look fun. I think she's the one that does the Ren faire romcoms?

    1. Yes! This is the third book in her Ren Faire romances, and it's as fun as the first two. :)

  8. Well Matched wasn't my fav of the series. April got on my last nerve. Someday I'll get to that Alex Verus series. Love the sound of that forced proximity/enemies to lovers romance! Great reviews, Lark! :)

    1. Hi, Rachel! It's funny...I like Well Matched better than the second one in the series because I felt like Stacey should have found her own thing/talent, not just ended up helping out Dex's band, but the first is still my favorite. :)

    1. I think you would like the Well Met series by Jen DeLuca. It's a fun one with a Renaissance Faire setting. :D

  12. All of these sound really good. And seeing that Alex Verus book just reminds me that I really need to start the series. It's been lingering in my TBR pile for way too long. :)
