ASTRIC PARKER DOESN'T FALL
Ashley Herring Blake
#17 Trade Paperback
Book two in Blake’s Bright Falls series stars Astrid Parker, “a ‘baby bisexual’ interior designer who’s at loose ends after splitting from her ‘golden boy’ fiancé,” according to our review. “Then she meets the equally lost-in-life Jordan Everwood, a tarot-reading ‘soft-butch’ carpenter,” and their connection makes for a “sexy and heartfelt queer rom-com.”
