What I’m Reading - Alexia Praks


I guess the old adage is true, no good deed goes unpunished. Quinn Chen wakes up still Quinn, but a Fairchild instead of who she thought she truly was. But upon her death and reincarnation becomes friendship, family, and a love that expands not only to the man she was forced to marry but to his land and his people. 


Alexia Praks weaves a fantastical tale of new meets old, and old meets new so seamlessly that you can’t help but fall in love. The characters are created such that you can’t even help but to love the one-horned demon child. I can’t wait to see what she has to offer me next. 


Once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down, so be prepared. 


I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest review. 
*****

What’s a girl to do when she finds herself in a medieval-like world of magic and monsters and is forced to wed an infamous earl? Marries the hunky warrior, of course! Plus saves his citizens, feeds them delectable food, and builds a grand kingdom in the process.


Quinn Chen has her life planned out after university graduation—working in one of the biggest medical research companies and then maybe dating again after a bad breakup. The only problem is on the day of her graduation, she is hit by a truck and wakes up to find herself as eighteen-year-old Quinn Fairchild in a war-torn medieval-like fantastical world full of magic and monsters and is forced to become a bride to an infamous, ruthless, cold-blooded warrior of an earl.


Swept not only into the isolated, strangely beautiful, lush land of Norsewood, but the powerful arms of the piercing blue-eyed Lord Aldric Templeton, Quinn—armed with blessings—must navigate her way through poverty-stricken, dangerous medieval life with a modern mindset and maybe even teach her gorgeous golden-haired husband, who is both kind and gentle and nothing like the merciless character that rumors imply, that having a girl from another world as a bride isn’t so bad after all.


Apparently, I’m the Infamous Earl’s Legendary Bride is a romantic fantasy series featuring a vivacious heroine with a determination to change and improve the lives of civilians in a medieval-like, war-torn world with the use of her modern knowledge and her magic and a hunky hero hell-bent on protecting his land and people and claiming his bride’s love.

This series contains romance, magic, kingdom building, and food and cooking. Oh, and enough steam to fog up the other world’s medieval-era glass window in later books as the story progresses.

Note: A kingdom-building fantasy series involves the protagonist/s working on building and managing their own village, town, city, nation, or even empire and gathering citizens and subordinates.

At long last...

  I'll be honest, I never thought it would happen. I've written book one of a paranormal romance (there are supposed to be five books in the series), but when I started editing it I realized I didn't know how books two through five were going to go. So, I gave up and said to myself, "Self, I think we need to write our contemporary romance book. Let's see how that goes." So, lo and behold, Sometimes Love Isn't Enough was born. Holy cow, I just looked and I've been working on this book since March 2023! It's been a long process because of some things I've kept to myself, and not in my writing space. But I think it's time I come out and own who I am. Hello, my name is Tami and I have ADHD, depression, and anxiety. All the mental health issues I have, the neurodivergence, and my physical health issues make it hard for me to focus and I'm lucky if I get 100 words a day. But when I get those 100 words, it's a party. Sometimes my brain an...

Everything I Wanted to Know About Writing I Learned From My Cats

As an insomniac, I have tons of time to think about writing (when one should be writing) and what they have learned, and how. I honestly think that my cats have taught me most of what I need to know. 1. Steady and cunning get you what you want. If you don’t have a cat and have never seen them stalk a fly/ladybug/moth you’ve missed out on a lifetime of lessons. They will sit as still as can be and stalk that thing till it’s just in reach. And eight times out of ten, they get what they are going after. Just like writing! You have to be steady in your course and you will achieve your goals. You have to make sure that you keep the eye on the prize. If you don’t get it the first time keep on keeping on, it WILL happen. 2. Know who you can lean on. Cats are particularly finicky over who they will ‘sit’ with. My cat Earl can walk up to me, nudge the laptop from my lap, curl up, and fall asleep. He only stays there long enough for a cat nap, but he knows that he can do it and won’t be chasti...

Review: Finding Freida by Amanda Larkman

A cozy mystery like no other. The characters and what they’ve had to learn throughout the book was well thought out and the story was well written.  Angie is distraught when she finds Mrs. B’s room all disheveled. When the police won’t help Angie turns to the one person she can remember has a connection to the missing woman.  Penny isn’t happy to be dragged around and disrespected after what just happened with work. Will Angie alienate Penny and lose the only help she has while the clock keeps ticking after Frieda’s abduction?
