Sincerely Yours is a gender-swapped Dramione retelling of You've Got Mail. Hidden identities, letter writing, self-growth - all wrapped into a tidy novella. This is a perfect introduction to fanfiction if you're not a die-hard HP fan and tomes like Manacled are a little intimidating. https://archiveofourown.org/works/48211207/chapters/121579090 Other books mentioned in this episode:Forget Me Not by Julie Sotohttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61618737-forget-me-not?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=24LFYmEpAo&rank=1 Divine Rivals by Rebecca Rosshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60784546-divine-rivals?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_13All things Ali Hazelwoodhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/21098177.Ali_Hazelwood

Rival gang members in early 20th century Shanghai battle a mysterious plague while battling feelings for each other: seems like a stay-up-all night reading concoction but this take on Romeo and Juliet falls flat. Katie recommends it if you're an Allison Saft fan (which she is not) but maybe check out Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross or Dance of Thieves by Mary Pearson instead.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50892212-these-violent-delights?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=YQOUh4VyNf&rank=1

In this episode of The Book Fix podcast, Yajaira and Cheli delve into Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross, the epic conclusion to the Divine Rivals duology. While this review was originally filmed in February 2024, the hosts decided to postpone its release due to their participation in the St. Martin's Press Boycott.The episode explores the high stakes of the novel as Iris Winnow faces new perils two weeks after her return from the warfront, bruised and heartbroken. Meanwhile, Roman, lost in Dacre's realm and his own fragmented memories, finds himself at a crossroads as he begins an unexpected correspondence that forces him to question his allegiance.

Today I am chatting with my friend Dani about Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross.Divine Rivals is a beautiful fantasy set in an old fashioned war-torn world where two journalistic rivals form a connection that will be tried and tested. This book is a sweet enemies/rivals to lovers romance where are main characters are drawn together through writing letters. It's a book that could be considered Greek Mythology meets You've Got Mail, meets a Hallmark movie. It's sweet and timeless and will give you ALL the feels!Take a listen as Dani and I chat all about the plot, characters, Greek mythology, how men shouldn't start a war in order to get a woman's attention, and more! We might even discuss a little of the sequel, Ruthless Vows...just maybe... First 15 minutes are spoiler free!A little about Divine Rivals: After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother is missing from the front lines. Her best bet is to win the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette.To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish―into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love.Send us a Text Message.Have a question about today's book or author?

We also discuss how she is very different from Carrie on the Christmas front and why tacos were not her favorite food from a trip to Mexico (you'll be surprised by what was.)

The writing was beautiful almost poetic, even though the world building wasn't the strongest, it still made you feel like you were there with the characters. The story made your heartache, I definitely shed some tears for what Iris had to go through. The world was definitely not what I was expecting, it was set in almost a 40's setting with typewriters, trains, but had the fantasy aspect of gods and goddesses. I really liked this Young Adult Fantasy!

In this episode we'll discuss:Living in your houseParking Lot PaiseFowl LanguageBlurb-KiraIn the blink of an eye, my whole world has collapsed around me. Headed towards my dream vacation I was snatched right out of the air. My husband, the love of my life, was destroyed right in front of my eyes. He fought bravely trying to protect me from a horror neither one of us could have ever imagined. I find myself standing in the spotlight on a stage. Mutilated and tortured, the blood from my body flowing freely down my legs along with my will to live. Piercing yellow eyes emerge from the darkness, but even the shadows can't hide his imposing form. Gentle, but terrifying arms reach out for me, and within their embrace can I find the will to live again?DaRI am a badass, known throughout the galaxy for my brutality, as a ruthless and feared commander. With that being said, somehow I still got coerced into purchasing a slave. My eyes fall upon a small female whose very essence and eternal light is leaking out of her onto the floor below her. I watch in awe as she accepts her fate, willing her nightmare to be over. I almost turn away from her and the unnecessary cruelly in this room, but the very thought of her dying on that floor surrounded by the very monsters that have done this to her disgust me. I walk up among the beings surrounding her and pull her from the stage, daring, or should I say hoping they try to do something about it. The moment I put her in my arms, everything changes. The attachments I have avoided my whole life become unavoidable. Will this damaged slave be able to replace the shadows in my life? One thing for sure is that I will destroy the entire universe to keep her safe. No one touches what's MINE!Other books we're reading: The Succubus's Song by Ferrell Dawson, Radiance by Grace Draven, The Pucking Wrong Number by C.R.

Divine Rivals was released at the beginning of March and, since that point, has enjoyed a lot of success, it's proved incredibly popular on socials such as BookTok and Bookstagram. The enemies-to-lovers element of this fantasy has really gripped people, almost as much as Fourth Wing (as an aside can you believe there are over 215,000 ratings for that on Goodreads now?). Any, this week I am talking about this fantasy that is based during a bitter war between the Gods. It is the story of Iris and Kitt, two journalists who are sent to the front line to report on what is happening to the people fighting. Find out what I thought as I revisited this book I read at the beginning of June in this episode that is truly unlike any other I have done before as I realise some things about my own reading pattern...

If you prefer your fantasy along steampunk lines, Jordan's pick of the week, "Divine Rivals" by Rebecca Ross, may be more your style. A lover's feud between two deities sparks off a global war that provides the backdrop for a "You've Got Mail" style romance. Magical typewriters, a non-sword-wielding heroine, and a well-developed cast of secondary characters drive the story all the way to a cliffhanger. Warning: book two hasn't been released yet.https://rebeccarossauthor.com/divine-rivals/ Want to sneak a look at upcoming content?
