ARC Review Taste & Temptation by Cheyanne Brubaker 5 stars If you like your romance smutty but with substance, nuance, and care around heavy topics like faith, trauma, and recovery, I would absolutely recommend this. If I wasn’t already a Brubaker fan before, I 1000% am now 😩🙏

A collage with 33 book covers

On that note, I put together my personal favorites from last year. I could expand this list a fair amount, but trying not to go *too crazy* - I feel good about this list.

And I only included *six* re-reads, go me.

Five Star Reads of 2025: "Good Spirits" I guess I was wrong in thinking that “The Last Soul Among Wolves” would be my last five star read of 2025; my Christmas audio book choice this year was “Good Spirits” by B.K.

#FiveStarReads of 2025: "Good Spirits" by B.K. Borison, a last minute holiday season addition; I *think* this is the last of my five star reads for the year, but you never know, there are a few days left ... open.substack.com/pub/mhartfor...

Five Star Reads of 2025: "The Last Soul Among Wolves" I’m closing 2025’s best books with “The Last Soul Among Wolves,” the second in Melissa Caruso’s “Echo Archives” series.

Five Star Reads of 2025: "Funny Story" “My name is Michael, and I’m addicted to Emily Henry books …”

Five Star Reads of 2025: "Nettle & Bone" And speaking of fairy tales … T.

Five Star Reads of 2025: "Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Fairies" I have yet to jump on the “romantasy” bandwagon — far too many Courts of Theses and Thats for me to keep track of — but maybe “Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Fairies” by Heather Fawcett is a way to ba...

#FiveStarReads of 2025: “Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Fairies” by Heather Fawcett - delightfully cozy (except when it’s not) open.substack.com/pub/mhartfor...

Five Star Reads of 2025: "Fiend" Alma Katsu’s “Fiend” is “Succession” as filtered through “The Fall of the House of Usher”: three largely unlikable heirs to a powerful family with a dark secret vie for control of forces none of them ...

#FiveStarReads of 2025: “Fiend” by Alma Katsu - “Succession” but with the Devil; short and wicked mhartford.substack.com/p/five-star-...

#FiveStarReads of 2025: “Deep End” by Ali Hazelwood - off the charts spicy and off the charts good open.substack.com/pub/mhartfor...

Five Star Reads of 2025: "It Was Her House First" Cherie Priest’s “It Was Her House First” is a haunted house tale, and quite a haunted house it is!

Five Star Reads of 2025: "The Last Hour Between Worlds" I think it’s fair to say that I’m not the target audience for a swashbuckling Sapphic romance — at least, it’s not something that a middle-aged cis straight male would typically read.

#FiveStarReads of 2025: Melissa Caruso's "The Last Hour Between Worlds," a swashbuckling dimension hopping sapphic romance open.substack.com/pub/mhartfor...

Five Star Reads of 2025: "My Best Friend's Exorcism" I watched the movie adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s “My Best Friend’s Exorcism” before I read the book, and while I enjoyed the movie well enough (it had a fun late-80s vibe and some interesting camera ...

#FiveStarReads of 2025: “My Best Friend’s Exorcism” by Grady Hendrix; I liked it much more than the movie. Would pair well with “Head Full of Ghosts” and “ Play Nice” open.substack.com/pub/mhartfor...
