I usually audiobook my romantasy books and have read or downloaded a good few of the popular titles but for my holidays this year (a quiet cottage by the sea) I want to bring one or two physical books.

Can anyone recommend a book to me, preferably standalone or duet, maybe a newer book, and something with a nice cover that would really suit a holiday read :)

I'm considering Rose in Chains, I know it's just out in paperback and is a HP fanfic although dark.

I really really appreciate how the authors lean into the orders of the characters, and specifically Gabriel and his love of twigs and nests.

Just finished the 8th book and Leon has been building a nest to distract his visions, it's just too hilarious how this would-be-serious character is obsessed with twigs!

Or specifically this scene at the end of that book - it had me cracking up 🤣

Orion sat beside me, but Gabriel seemed distracted by something, picking up a stick that was resting against the wall by the fireplace. “Oooh, look at that,” he cooed, cocking his head to one side as he examined it. “That’s a real nice stick. The grain is just perfect. And look at those nodules…” He ran his fingers over them then tucked the thing into his waistband possessively before moving to sit on my other side. “Got yourself a nice little stick, did ya?” I questioned teasingly. “Yes, and I’m going to give it to my wife when we get back to the rebels,” he announced, puffing out his chest. “She’ll love that, brother,” Orion said encouragingly, neither of them seeming to think Gabriel’s stick was amusing. Or cute. And it was definitely cute.
