My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of A Court of Thorns and Roses

Marilyn Brant ❤️ loved this book because...

This was a story that simply impressed me with its compelling world-building, and I found it impossible to stop reading! Up until coming across this Sarah J. Maas novel, I'd only read a handful of books in the romantasy genre. After finishing A Court of Thorns and Roses, however, I read the ENTIRE series published to date (thousands of pages!!), and I've begun looking into more books that tap into some of the imaginative elements I discovered here. A highly recommended series for readers looking for an immersive new world.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Part of Your World

Marilyn Brant ❤️ loved this book because...

Several months ago, a good friend recommended Abby Jimenez to me. I read Part of Your World and immediately fell in love with her writing style! I've devoured a number of Jimenez's novels since then, and they all have tremendous humor and heart -- one of the most delightful combinations for romance, in my opinion. For anyone seeking something uplifting, check out this novel and other books by the author!

What is this book about?

A refreshingly modern fairy tale and instant New York Times bestseller that Love Hypothesis author Ali Hazelwood hails as "an uplifting, feel-good, romantic read." 

After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.

While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s…


My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Ministry of Time

Marilyn Brant ❤️ loved this book because...

Every once in a while, you come across a novel that is so wildly original and fascinating in its concept that you can't stop talking about it with people. I found myself recommending The Ministry of Time to just about everyone who loves time-travel stories and thought-provoking fiction! The characters compelled me. The themes were intriguing throughout. The very premise had me excited before I even began reading...and it held my interest until the end. LOVED this book!

What is this book about?

A time travel romance, a spy thriller, a workplace comedy, and an ingenious exploration of the nature of power and the potential for love to change it all: Welcome to The Ministry of Time, the exhilarating debut novel by Kaliane Bradley.

In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she’ll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.

She is tasked with working as a “bridge”:…

Not Another Roman Holiday

By Marilyn Brant,

Book cover of Not Another Roman Holiday

What is my book about?

In the novella NOT ANOTHER ROMAN HOLIDAY, an American blogger meets a European Prince in Italy. She needs a story. He needs an escape from the paparazzi. Neither thought love would hit them in the eye like a grande pizza pie – but that's Rome for ya. (And, okay, it might also be amore.)

______

A modern, role-reversing twist on the classic film Roman Holiday by New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Marilyn Brant!

American entertainment blogger and aspiring poet, Jenna Bradley, is spending the summer in Rome, visiting her grandparents and working remotely for the online magazine/ezine WORLD VIBE. She's assigned to write a feature on the latest Goodwill Tour of an Eastern European royal – handsome and wealthy, perhaps, but aloof and surely dull. Definitely not her type.

The night before the big meet and greet, however, she comes face to face with an incredibly attractive man who surprises her and quickly wins her over with his wittiness, depth, and charm. He couldn't be more different from the royal stiff she's supposed to interview...or could he?

On the eve of his 26th birthday, Prince Andrei of Saragovia has had a long day of official duties followed by a little too much Grappa and some unexpected paparazzi stalking him at his hotel. While making his escape, the Prince inadvertently crosses paths with a cute American named Jenna and her friends, and he finds himself caught up in an action-packed 36-hour spree through the Italian capital.

Adventurous, fun, and romantic, Andrei is given a birthday celebration he never would have imagined, and Jenna gets the scoop of a lifetime. But the clock is ticking... What if they could spend more than just a day and two nights together in Rome?
