As a relationship therapist, Nora helps patients explore their feelings honestly. But she's hiding an embarrassing relationship secret of her own: she's in love with someone she's never even met.

J edits the advice column Nora's been writing anonymously for the last seven years. He's in London, she's in New York, and they communicate solely through shared files. When he confides that his girlfriend's out of the picture, and her boss asks her to come to London, Nora takes both as a sign.But that's not the only thing on her mind. A client's ex-boyfriend just moved into her co-op, directly beneath her. Eli blames Nora for his breakup and seems determined to make her life miserable, gleefully planning a noisy renovation.

Yet despite all his bluster, Nora eventually starts to see the softness behind Eli's brusque, charming exterior...and after a slipup reveals a startling secret, Nora wonders whether someone can be two things at once.

From the author of Recipe for Second Chances comes a swoonworthy romance bursting with wit about a therapist who falls for the wrong man...but perhaps the right one was hiding in the margins all along.

If you never got around to listening to, the AI that loved me, on Audible, now it’s available as a podcast. I also think this is where the sequel will be. While I personally think you should give the author royalties, because she is a really great romance author, if you would like to check it out for free, listen to Love Language Model | Dramatized scifi audio fiction https://www.theend.fyi/shows/love-language-model #Romance #RomanceLandia #Fiction #Audible #Podcast

Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details... Now with an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design.

📚 It's Different This Time by: Joss Richard

Reeling from the cancellation of her hit TV show, June Wood has nothing left to lose when a mysterious email lures her back to the New York City brownstone she once called home before she moved to Los Angeles. Thanks to a clause in the former owner’s will, she and her old roommate, Adam Harpe...

Reeling from the cancellation of her hit TV show, June Wood has nothing left to lose when a mysterious email lures her back to the New York City brownstone she once called home before she moved to Los Angeles. Thanks to a clause in the former owner’s will, she and her old roommate, Adam Harper, now own the multimillion-dollar property—or at least they will in a month, once all the paperwork is signed.

Four weeks, then June can return to her life in LA and forget about New York City and everything she left behind. Sure, the fact that June and Adam are estranged and haven’t even spoken in five years, and that their friendship didn’t exactly end on good terms might complicate matters, but this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

As the autumn leaves fall around them, through shared meals and late-night conversations, old wounds and long-buried sparks resurface, and it becomes strikingly clear: June and Adam have unfinished business. Confronted with the consequences of their choices years before, they must now navigate the minefield of their past the best way they know how: together. Second chances are always a risk, but maybe, if they get it right and are finally honest with each other and with themselves, it could be different this time.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER. In this sweeping, second-chance romance, a twist of fate forces two former roommates back into their beloved New York City brownstone where they must confront the events that led to their estrangement—and th

Continuing to pitch His Lordship's Landscape, a Dracula retelling that @lapis actually kind of created! Thank you, by the way, and they did a beta reading of it! Pitching and pitching. Ah yes. I hope a publisher picks this up because it really was a *lot* of fun writing this!

The Elevator pitch?

What if Dracula stole Jonathan's raiser because he wants to see what Jonathan looks like with a beard but is an anxious vampire? A Romantic Comedy retelling of Dracula with a HEA and a masterclass in anxious communication! I had *fun* writing this so much!

A new pinned post for January! My latest spooky-cozy romantasy novella, available now: https://books2read.com/UndeadInconvenience

And my next romantasy novel, coming from Tor Bramble on February 18 in the US & February 20 in the UK! Preorder now: https://www.stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen

#fantasy #romance

The header at the top of the image reads: Out Now.
In the center of the image (which has a background of lush crimson rose blossoms) is the front cover of Stephanie Burgis’s A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, which shows an ominously closed entrance-gate at the top of the cover and a bat with its wings outspread at the bottom, all framed by climbing roses. Four arrows point at the cover with four chunks of text, reading: “Beauty and the Beast, but he’s a vampire” “She’s brilliant, and he loves it” “Tea is very important” and “She *really* loves libraries.” At the bottom is a link to the preorder page: books2read.com/UndeadInconvenience

In the centre of the square image is the cover of Stephanie Burgis’s Wooing the Witch Queen, which shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. Around it are these bits of descriptive text: Fierce, bi witch queen; sweet, nerdy hero with a secret identity; found family; mischievous crows; magical library; flirting with fountain pens. At the bottom right corner of the image is a picture of a glittering black masquerade mask.

I don’t know what is happening in the book world today, but #Audible is aggressively promoting twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey to me today. Just out of curiosity, I looked at the durration of those audiobooks and that really made me feel insecure because at the most, I seem to only be able to create Novella’s. Anything after that point, and I feel like I’m dragging things along. How do these other authors manage to make 20 hour romance books? #Romance #ShowerThought #ShowerThoughts

Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf. After belly-crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it’s time to become a full-on adult. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs onto the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she snuck out of.

After agreeing they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realize they’re each other’s perfect wing-person in their searches for The One. They text each other about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don’t go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward.

Spoiler: they get a lot of tacos together.

Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first, but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off. As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they both struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with.

Two people make a wager on who can find love first, not realizing what they should be betting on is each other, in this new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter, New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Wrong Number.

If you're looking for a Christmas Romance audiobook, I've narrated a great one!

Lily is a single mom starting over in a small mountain town. Last Christmas, her brother's hot best friend Beckett kissed her under the mistletoe. This year she's newly arrived, newly divorced, and hoping for a second chance in more ways than one.

Lily is a great character: she is a woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. And Becket is the hunky mountain man we all deserve: caring, together, and more than ready to appreciate a good woman who comes his way.

Taken by the Mountain Man by Kelsie Calloway is one of my top three best selling romance audiobooks of the year. At just 42 minutes long, you can listen in a single session!

If you like a story with a big heart and sizzling sex scenes, this one's for you. Go on and cozy up with a nice hot mountain man romance!

The books is available for Kindle and Kindle Unlimited from Amazon, and the audiobook is available from Amazon, Audible and Apple Books.

Early Morning Rendezvous is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. Two sweet little birds sit opposite each other in a bush and look at each other. The dense branches of the bush form a heart shape around the two birds. The rest of the bush can only be seen blurred in the light blue morning mist. The two birds are depicted as silhouettes in front of the rising sun in a delicate pink heart shape and surrounded by green heart-shaped leaves.
This watercolour painting is the ideal gift for lovers - for Valentine's Day, a birthday, a wedding anniversary or just to say "I love you".

It's time for a new pinned thread now that Wooing the Witch Queen is out in the US and the UK!

https://stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen

#romance #fantasy

An image of the North American front cover of Wooing the Witch Queen shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. The tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sarah Beth Durst (New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop) reads: “Full of charm, wit, and magic… I loved it!”
Around the image, against a starry night background, are various pieces of text connected to it by arrows. They read: “bi villainous heroine,” “sweet cinnamon-roll hero with a fake identity,” “crow friends,” “found family,” and “flirting with fountains pens.” At the bottom of the image are the words: Out now!

ALT

In the centre of this image is the beautiful British cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis. The illustration shows a man in a cloak riding headlong through the night towards an ominous castle with an illuminated, crowned female figure in its doorway and bats flying overhead in the moonlight. A potion vial surrounds that central image and is further framed by leaves and branches. Crows sit on the branches, and a tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sangu Mandanna reads: ‘Warm and lovely’
On the lefthand side of the image around the cover is a stalk of herbs, surrounded by magical stars; on the righthand side is a fountain pen. The text above and below the cover reads: ‘He had to remember that she was infinitely more likely to kill him than to kiss him…’
Out Now in the UK!

This is available on Libby, as well as hoopla. One of my audiobook husbands reads this, so this is why I think you should drop everything and read this, but what really swept me off my literary feet was the pages upon pages of incredibly gorgeous lush pros that described flying with dragons that lust after the protagonist. Apart from that, the book has non-binary representation, dragons of color, and birth control potions! https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781039493810 #Romance #RomanceLandia #Romantasy @bookstodon

I find books in the strangest places. This one I found, because I was listening to the latest episode of the bookfast club podcast wherein the hosts were scolding their Black listeners because their listeners were calling them a racial word that rhymes with noon, because they didn’t like the book. I don’t think I’m gonna continue the podcast because they seem to constantly shit on romance including romantasy and Black romances but even though the episode was a rant, at least I found this out of it. The book immediately looks far more interesting than the podcast! https://share.libbyapp.com/title/12137233 #Books #Romance #Romantasy #RomanceLandia
