Of the Stars and Sea is a bingeable rivals-to-lovers Romantasy with sharp-witted banter, page-turning adventure and delectable spicy romance.

A traitorous pirate lord. A bounty hunter with a score to settle. And an epic treasure that will grant them both the freedom they desire…unless they destroy each other first.

Rowenya Stone is captain of the once fearsome pirate ship, the Trinity. Bound to her father’s old debts, Rowenya has been forced to break the Pirates’ Code by capturing her own kind in exchange for money. Tired of being shackled to her father’s past, Rowenya hatches a plan to steal an ancient artifact, said to unveil a map to the greatest treasure ever known to man.

But the plan goes awry when Grayson Tyde, the most ruthless and feared pirate lord in the Southern Realm, intercepts them. When Grayson discovers Rowenya has one thing he does not—knowledge of the old gods’ language inscribed upon the artifact—he forces her onto his ship.

However, they are not the only ones in search of the artifact, and as the threat of their enemies looms, Rowenya must trust the one person she’s always feared. But what terrifies her more is her perilous attraction to Grayson.

In a world where love is a traitorous thing and danger lurks around every corner, Rowenya must decide if finding the treasure is worth losing her heart.

Blog Tour: White Raven – Maggie Ritchie

Bored with life as a teacher in an Edinburgh girls’ school, artist Rosie recognises Alex Kuznetsov from her previous life as a decoder at Bletchley Park.

Alex, a war hero and anti-Soviet intelligence officer, is running a Russian language school for National Servicemen to put Britain’s best and brightest young men through intensive training as translators and intelligence operators in the event of a third world war.

During an ardent courtship, Rosie joins the JSSL as an art teacher, but she soon finds out that there is more to her role as Alex gains her confidence and persuades her to take on a daring undercover espionage mission in a Highland country house.

Rosie discovers that the world of spies is full of treachery, manipulation and deceit, and that what started out as a thrilling game can have deadly consequences. Faced with a choice between duty and love, and between stability and adventure, Rosie must decide where her loyalties lie.

Maggie Ritchie’s novel, Looking for Evelyn, was shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize for Best Published Novel 2018. Her debut novel, Paris Kiss (2015), won the Curtis Brown Prize, was runner up for the Sceptre Prize, and longlisted for the Mslexia First Novel Competition. Daisy Chain was published by Two Roads/ Hachette in 2021 following a Society of Authors funded research trip to Shanghai. Maggie graduated with Distinction rom the University of Glasgow’s MLitt in Creative Writing. A journalist, she lives in Scotland with her husband and son.

My thoughts: I really enjoyed this 1950s set novel about the beginnings of the Cold War. Rosie, an artist, previously worked at Bletchley Park during the Second World War, and is bored teaching at a girls’ school in Edinburgh.

When handsome Alex Kuznetsov arrives back in her life with an intriguing offer, to teach art to the men learning Russian (including Dennis Potter, Michael Frayn and Alan Bennett) as their national service near Crail in Fife.

While there, she and Alex fall in love and he convinces her that an old family friend is secretly spying for the Soviets, with her help he can prove this and stop the plans for a nuclear submarine getting into Russian hands. But is he telling her the truth?Ā 

Rosie, for all her wartime experience and obvious intelligence is hoodwinked by the oldest trick in the book – love. As events overtake her, she loses her heart and is threatened with treason. Unsure who to trust as people are revealed to be in the pay of various governments, she struggles to extricate herself from the mess she’s in.

An intelligent, intriguing and enjoyable read about a somewhat forgotten period in history, that is having something of a revival due to current political and military posturing. I liked Rosie a lot and felt for her, torn between what she knows is right and her love for the White Raven.

There is but one lesson humans are slow to learn and quick to forget: the fae lie . . .

When half-fae Bronwyn is caught fleeing the scene of a robbery, a Crusader arrow finds its mark. But as her roguish partner-in-crime Eoin tends to her wounds, a spark between them replenishes Bronwyn’s magic—revealing her as part-Siren. And quite possibly cursed.

Meanwhile, word is spreading of the two thieves and the illegal magic they left behind them. To escape discovery, Bronwyn and Eoin accept a dangerous yet tempting job: a wedding heist that leads them into the depths of the fae realm.

But August, the merciless vampire lord of the Selene Court, is used to getting what—and who—he wants.

In a land of deception, seduction, and meddling gods, Bronwyn puts her life on the line, only to discover temptation may be her undoing. And time is running out for her to make a choice, before she’s stuck on the wrong side of a looming war.

The Curse of the Siren is a steamy, plot-driven romantasy with magic, political intrigue, and two tempting MMCs.

Now branded a traitor by both realms and haunted by the ghost of a love she never meant to destroy, Dahlia must outrun her hunters and the truth that could unravel two kingdoms.

To protect her family, she’ll make one final, desperate bargain. Even if it means surrendering her freedom once more.

King Neve has every reason to hate the woman who nearly cost him his life and crown. With his kingdom on the verge of civil war and vengeance burning through his veins, he should want her dead. But when fate entwines their paths once again, desire clashes with duty, and revenge becomes something dangerously close to redemption, he must make a choice that could destroy everything.

What happens when an imposter dares to tell the truth and a king finally lays down his sword? The cost may be their kingdoms… or their hearts.

Perfect for romantasy readers who enjoy fiery enemies to lovers romance, arranged marriage, learning to love yourself, epic fantasy adventure, sexy monster villains, slow burn with ALL the tension and angst, and mythical sidekicks.

Blog Tour: Court of Light and Dark – Heather D. Grace

Welcome to the tour for Court of Light and Dark by Heather D. Grace! If you sign up for the author’s newsletter you will be gifted with a digital edition of the prequel which is a full-length novel called Court of Treason and Fate!

Newsletter: https://blackleopardpublishing.eo.page/

Court of Light and Dark (Hidden Courts of the Fae #1)

Release Date: June 2025

Genre: Urban Fantasy Romance

– Reluctant Half-Fae Chosen One
– Slow-burn, Grumpy/sunshine Forbidden Romance
– Bonded Animal Companions
– Found Family
– Portal Urban Fantasy Romance

Half-fae, half-human—entirely unprepared to face the war my bloodline dragged me into.

The moment I touch the broken rescue stallion, scars thicken like armor across his back and wings begin to regrow. I’ve barely processed this when a gruff man with glowing eyes and a pulsing energy shows up on my ranch, claiming I’m half fae…and the key to saving three realms.

I refuse to let anyone else decide who I become, but that doesn’t stop my fae “guardian” from black mailing me to follow him to his realm, where small folk are vanishing, only to return stripped of their magic and dying slow, tortured deaths. And while my healing magic is stirring here, it’s barely enough to help with the demons hunting us, let alone save anyone.

As for my guardian? Seems like even being near me is painful, and I can’t tell if it’s from resisting the connection between us, or something darker. Especially when it feels like his blood commands mine… and my own might destroy him.

But distraction could cost us everything; if I fail the prophecy, demons will enslave the fae, destroy the human realm, and take the creature I care about most: my Leath Pegasus.

They say I’m the key to saving the realms, but as time runs out, I can’t help but wonder if anyone can stop what’s coming.

Fans of Anne Bishop’s Pillars of the World and Faith Hunters’ Jane Yellowrock Series will love this fast-pace, hidden magics, and forbidden love between a grumpy fae guardian and a sunshiny but reluctant chosen one.

He doesn’t just love, he claims and consumes….

They call me The Southern Poisoner—contract killer, legend, monster in a tailored suit.
I was supposed to be on vacation. Two years of blood and bodies had earned me that much.
Then I found her.
Chained. Feral. Spitting fire even as she begged for freedom.
I should’ve walked away. I’m not the hero.
But I set her free.
Now she haunts me. Fights me. Tempts the monster in me to play nice.
I thought I was the one in control.
I am The Southern Poisoner.
But somehow… I think I’m the one being poisoned.

*Although Venomous is focused on Venom & Ivy, it is still recommended to read The Bone Reaper first, where Venom is first introduced and plays an important role in Reaper & Charlotte’s story. In the author’s opinion, this will assist in having full context and a better experience when reading Venomous.*
