June is for Murder… but make it seductive, calculated, and just a little unhinged, because this week, we’re talking Hexed — a book where charm is lethal, attraction is a trap, and the line between love and manipulation is basically nonexistent. It’s icy, it’s intense, and it proves that sometimes the most dangerous thing in the room… is also the most irresistible.

June is for Murder… but in a Sexy way, and we’re kicking things off with Butcher & Blackbird — a book where trauma bonding, murder competitions, and wildly questionable decisions somehow turn into the cutest romance you’ll read all year. It’s unhinged, it’s adorable, it’s morally gray in all the right ways, and honestly? It sets the bar way too high for real‑life love stories.

We’re wrapping up MILF Mayhem month with a romcom set in small‑town Louisiana, where a funeral‑director mama is juggling motherhood, quirky service requests, and a family funeral home that always seems one crisis away from chaos. Whitney has sworn off romance — she’s too busy keeping the business afloat and her kid’s world steady — until a familiar face from her past rolls back into town.

He’s the contractor hired to renovate the funeral home chapel — steady hands, soft heart, and absolutely no business being this charming. And somewhere between paint swatches, chapel repairs, and small‑town gossip, he starts falling for Whitney and her daughter, one ridiculous moment at a time.

It’s funny, tender, and full of that “dating as a single mom is its own kind of love story” energy that makes this finale so special

This week we’re diving into a romcom where a simple surrogacy agreement turns into full‑blown mountain‑side chaos. Trista signs on to help a grumpy, tattooed recluse become a dad… and immediately starts testing his patience by showing up with stray animals, big feelings, and zero apologies.

Wyatt keeps pretending he’s unbothered — by the pig, the rabbit, or the woman who keeps brightening up his mountain top — but the chemistry between them is loud, messy, and impossible to ignore.

It’s funny, chaotic, and full of that “we were NOT supposed to catch feelings” energy that makes a romcom irresistible.

We’re closing out April with Funny Story by Emily Henry — a tender, quietly chaotic story about two people thrown together in the wreckage of heartbreak who slowly rebuild their lives side by side. Between a buttoned‑up librarian trying to start over and a scruffy winery‑boy roommate who is way too charming for his own good, this story is all about second chances, messy healing, and blooming in places you never expected.

At its core, this book isn’t just a love story. It’s about self‑discovery, self‑respect, and finding friendships that reshape your world for the better. It’s acquaintances to friends to something more, full of soft moments and the kind of unexpected companionship that sneaks up on you when you need it most. It’s the kind of story that reminds you growth can be messy… and still beautiful.

Think: emotional rebuilding, unlikely friendships, and a slow‑blooming connection that feels earned.

Still in our Love in Bloom era 💐

This week’s pick is Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings: a romance that leans more emotional than expected, with characters who feel deeply real, beautifully imperfect, and a little messy on their way to finding each other.

With two neurodivergent, queer characters who don’t quite fit into traditional expectations, this story explores connection in a way that feels raw, honest, and at times… a little too close to home — balanced by the softness of a flower farm backdrop that adds a quiet kind of beauty to the chaos. 🌼

March is Lust of the Irish month at Book Tease, and this week we’re closing out the series with a story that leans into dark humor, quiet loneliness, and the kind of love that shows up when you least expect it. 

Morbidly Yours follows a reclusive undertaker and the bright, chaotic woman who turns his carefully controlled world upside down. Set against a backdrop of Irish charm, the story blends grief and humor in a way that feels both offbeat and deeply human. The male lead is demisexual and lives with a stutter, bringing a layer of representation that feels thoughtful and genuine, especially as his quiet, socially awkward nature becomes part of his charm rather than something to overcome.

What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly develops into something neither can ignore. Beneath the awkward moments and sharp wit, both characters are carrying their own forms of isolation, learning what it means to let someone in without losing themselves in the process. And while he may be reserved in most moments, the Irish speaking MMC has a way of making the spicy moments feel extra spicy. The result is a story filled with heart, humor, and a romance that feels as healing as it does unconventional.

If you love grumpy/sunshine dynamics, quirky characters, and romances that balance emotional depth with lighthearted charm, this is your week.

March is Lust of the Irish month at Book Tease, and this week we’re stepping into a story where mafia power, danger, and devotion collide.

Devil of Dublin is a dark romance centered around a man shaped by violence and control, and the woman who becomes the one thing he cannot ignore. 

As their worlds intertwine, past trauma and the weight of his life in the shadows begin to surface, forcing both to confront what they’ve become, and what they might still have the chance to be. While outside forces close in, it’s the emotional wounds they carry that feel far more pressing, shaping every choice they make. Woven through it all is a thread of magical realism, giving the story an Irish fairytale quality where light and darkness exist side by side. What unfolds is a striking contrast between innocence and brutality, and neither walks away unchanged. The result is a story filled with intensity, emotional pull, and a connection that feels as consuming as it is inevitable.

If you love dark, emotionally charged romance, morally gray characters, and stories where love grows in the shadows, this is your week.

March is Lust of the Irish month at Book Tease, and this week we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a story that combines Irish folklore, rival traditions, and fun, holiday magic. 

Go Luck Yourself is a queer romance centered around the Prince of St. Patrick’s Day and the Prince of Christmas - two men whose worlds, traditions, and personalities clash almost immediately. 

When an undercover operation pulls them into the same orbit, what begins as irritation quickly turns into something far more complicated. As intrigue and hidden agendas begin to unravel, both princes are forced to confront the expectations that have shaped their lives — and decide whether they’re willing to break from tradition to become something more than the roles they were born into. The result is a story filled with banter, heart, and the kind of romantic tension that makes enemies-to-lovers so satisfying. 

If you love magical worlds, chaotic holiday politics, and romances where irritation slowly gives way to something much deeper, this is your St. Patrick’s Day read.

March is Lust of the Irish month at Book Tease, and this week we’re diving into a story where the ocean is as powerful as the emotions beneath the surface. 

Raven of the Sea is a romance shaped by emotional storms, found family, and the kind of healing that only comes when someone finally sees you for who you are. Set in the beautiful County Clare town of Doolin, the story draws strength not only from the sea, but from the people and community that make the town feel like a character in its own right. 

Branna may appear delicate, but beneath that softness is a resilience forged through hardship. When she meets Michael, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer who spends his life pulling people from the ocean’s most dangerous waters, their lives begin to intertwine in ways neither of them expected. What follows is a story about trust, renewed faith, and discovering that love can sometimes be the safest harbor. 

If you love romances rooted in emotional healing, resilience, and characters who learn to carry each other through the storm, this is your week.

February has been all about Types of L-O-V-E, and we’re closing out the series with a love story that refuses to fit into a traditional box: Poly / Why Choose Love.

This week on Book Tease, we’re untangling Ensnared by Rebecca Quinn — a post-apocalyptic, why-choose romance built on power, protection, and a web of relationships that existed long before Eden entered the picture.

One woman. Five men. A bond forged in survival, not romance. Ensnared asks a harder question than “Why choose?” It asks whether choice exists at all. In a world where protection and power are intertwined, Eden begins to understand that equality isn’t offered, it’s demanded.
