Swear on This Life by Renée Carlino

Way to break my own heart on Valentine’s Day. Apparently, I can never have too much angst because I adored this amazing childhood, friends to teen lovers to strangers to adult friends to lovers again story.

TW: Child abuse & neglect; Parental abandonment; Parent with alcoholism; Substance addiction; Drug abuse; Death of a sibling

The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

An unrepentant rake and a marriage of convenience make for a lush story with dashes of danger. The rest of the Wallflower series is now on my TBR pile.
