Publisher's summary
A scholar’s dream. A pirate’s curse. Only one can be saved.
Illyria’s dream shop is becoming a nightmare. Abandoning her safe but stifling career teaching magic to the elite, the enterprising half-elf sets sail to open her own alchemy store. Illyria yearns to make her shop a bastion of magic for all, but she invokes the wrath of the local crime syndicate and awakens an ancient curse.
Briar knows all about curses. The pirate half-giant’s family has suffered under one for generations. She’s on the hunt for a Celestial Prism, a rare artifact powerful enough to lift her affliction. Yet the infuriating–and alluring–Illyria is after the same Prism, just as Briar’s time is running out.
Briar and Illyria form an uneasy alliance as sinister forces surround them both. But as Illlyria’s grand opening looms, will she save the store of her dreams, or the woman after her own heart?

Story
A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Story
He's a bad man, and I don't mean trash like your ex. I mean seriously bad. I mean dangerous. You can tell just by looking at him: black eyes, a menacing scowl, and a nose that's been badly broken in the past. He is my arch-nemesis. My mortal enemy. My singular obsession. I was afraid of him when we met. He kidnapped and chained me to a bed. Me—Damon Alexander Beckett of BeckIT fame and fortune. Well, the joke's on him because I'm going to make it my life's mission to destroy him. But first, I have to survive being his captive.

From the way he acts like he’s better than everyone to the way he moves through the world thinking his podcast is the cream of the crop, every little thing about the man gets to him. Even that dashing, oh-so-confident smile. He’d rather be caught dead than be around the man any longer than necessary—or admit that last part out loud.

Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

Story
Max has never been in love. She knows exactly what it looks like–she’s spent years studying the phenomenon in other people, but her Asperger syndrome makes it too anxiety-provoking to attempt such a thing in her own life. That is, until she meets Ruby, who makes Max want to give love one more shot.

At least it was discounted
This book was so boring it’s probably top 3 meh for me. It’s one of the slowest stories to develop into predictable nothing. I kept listening hoping for something but even at 2x the speed I couldn’t wait for it to finish.

The AI voice
The AI voice killed the book for me. I was excited at first but my ADHD brain kept on zoning it out.

Very poorly done, leave the writing to REAL people
I was hoping to mark Pride month this year by reviewing a few books written particularly through a sapphic lense, so searched chose three (more or less at random) from Audible. I've read romantic fantasy before and enjoyed it, but even though I knew genre fiction is generally not as well written as literature, I persisted because I was curious. I finished this book.
Firstly, this is narrated by AI. It is awful. The intonation is all off. I had to keep "interpreting" banter by thinking about what it "should" sound like, and listening to the robotic narration through intimate scenes was almost painful. I couldn't stop giggling through them.
Later, in researching the author I stumbled immediately upon references that the entire book was written with AI. While I chalked it up to the terrible narration at the time, this now makes total sense. There were unpredictable tense changes, some scenes rambled on and on, and the predictable/stereotypical dialogue was a sure clue.
After I came across that unwelcome information and realized I'd plowed through the entire book, thinking it was representative literature, I became angry. There are so few works out there with LGBTQ representation, not to mention sapphic in particular, I felt it was thumbing its nose at the systemic bigotry and misogyny that doubtless prevented writers from publishing such representative literature in the first place.
Leave the writing and narration to REAL people. Your readers deserve it.
