The Dane of My Existence by Jessica MartinRating: ✩✩✩✩✩
If you enjoy the cozy feeling of a classic contemporary romance, this book is going to be on the top of your summer reading list. Continuing in the world of Bard's Rest, complete with Martin's delightful cast of supporting characters, the story of two over achievers learning to love was romance gold. While this book hit many favorite tropes (rivals to lovers is always a hit!) what really makes this story shine is how relatable it is going to be for my cohort of millennial firstborns. The rewarded ambition that is really crippling fear of failure and intimacy will ring very true. I wasn't sure that "what happens when being able to have it all feels too much like you MUST have it all" would make a good romance premise, but Martin makes it work! I really hope that more books come out in this series because so far, both have been amazing.
