I think I’ve found a new favourite trope: enemies to lovers on a reality TV survival show. This was such a fun read, especially if you love a mix of tension, banter, and forced proximity.

Easton and Amity couldn’t be more different. Easton is the rugged, outdoors survival type, while Amity shows up to the competition in a dress, immediately setting the tone that she’s not quite what everyone expects. They clash from the start, and what follows is a lot of angst, slow-burning tension, and plenty of pining.

The dynamic really works—especially the enemies-to-lovers progression and opposites attract energy. And yes, he calls her “princess,” which definitely adds to the appeal.

Overall, it’s a quick, entertaining read with strong chemistry between the main characters. I’m especially curious to see Easton’s sisters’ book next.

This is book 2 in The Race for Riches or Romance series, which is a set of interconnected standalones following a fun reality TV romance concept full of flirty chaos and guaranteed happy endings.

This story feels a bit different from the first, focusing on exes Andrew (Drew) and Hannah, who split three years ago but clearly never truly moved on. Most of the book revolves around them being forced back into each other’s orbit and figuring out if they can find their way back together, all while competing in the reality show.

It’s fast-paced, with plenty of twists, tension, and that classic push-and-pull “are we going to make it or not?” energy. I also really enjoy the characters in this series and am looking forward to the next book.

This is the third book in The Race for Riches or Romance series, and another really fun reality TV romance. It can be read as a standalone, but characters from the previous books do show up again.

This season of the show moves to Hollywood, where Bria gets another shot at competing—but this time she needs a partner willing to fake a relationship with her. Enter Rick, a former cameraman on the show, who gets convinced to step in as her fake boyfriend. Of course, the producers have added extra twists, including viewer-voted outcomes and Rick’s ex-wife also joining the cast.

We get dual POVs, plenty of chemistry, and some unexpected twists as Bria and Rick navigate both the competition and their growing feelings for each other.

Overall, it’s super engaging, very romantic, and full of that reality TV chaos I enjoy. I did feel a couple of small things pulled me out of the story, but they didn’t take away from how fun it was. A satisfying read with a happy ending.

A Touch of Magic & Desire is a really enchanting read that pulled me right into its magical world from the start.

Lee Hawke blends fantasy, romance, and emotion in a way that feels both engaging and easy to get lost in. The chemistry between the characters stands out, and the whole atmosphere is vivid and immersive throughout.

Overall, it’s a captivating and heartfelt fantasy romance that’s easy to enjoy and hard to put down.

I had to put this book down multiple times just to stare at a wall and process what was happening… because WOW, it was twisty.

At first, I honestly thought there were plot holes or messy writing, but I was completely wrong. Once everything starts clicking, it’s actually incredibly well done. The way Brezzo builds the story and sneaks in emotional impact without you even realising it, is seriously impressive.

I was hooked from the start thanks to the unique setting and magic system, and it only gets stronger as the story unfolds.

My only complaint? Now I have to wait for the next book.
