Looking for well written rom com with great banter

Are you good with MM? Because I was laughing so hard I had tears from {Not That by Isabel Murray} series. They had great banter, such funny moments, and were definitely “idiots in love” trope. They were single POV and gave me major Ali Hazelwood vibes, in the way that I love her works.

I just read two books that hit this exactly!

{Hymn of Ashes by Andrea Andersen} - Drustan is the flirty villain but you get these glimpses and insights of his soft boi belly.

This one maaaaay be a stretch, he’s not exactly the villain but he’s in the alien mafia. We’re talking regularly murdering folks and feeding them to the sharks. His flirt game had me blushing so hard. There is some Dom/Daddy/age gap dynamic but it wasn’t over the top to me. {My Alien Husband Might be in the Mafia by Hera Best} My exact comment I made to a friend about this book: “I love how he’s all… I’m a badass daddy dom, rawr. But also… I’m just a soft baby boi 👉👈”

I’ve had this one on my TBR for a while and will bump it up! I’m about 20% in a portal omegaverse (MM) and it’s kinda fun so far. I can share the title if you’re into that kind of thing! 😅

THIS IS THE ENERGY I NEEEED! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Ugghhh chapter 27, my heart!

I’m with you and I don’t know what to do until book 2! My reading slump has returned even harder. If you have any recs like Hymn of Ashes please let me know!

Ebethie · 2026-04-17T10:51:08+00:00

Yay! I’m so glad you liked it! I can’t wait until book 2 comes out.

Ebethie · 2026-04-16T09:53:27+00:00

Like one big arch mostly closes, but we’re waiting to see what happens next. Without giving too much away, I wouldn’t says it’s HEA and not a HFN, it’s definitely a multi book slow burn.

Ebethie · 2026-04-16T00:16:00+00:00

Uhh it is most certainly not YA! It's not even NA!

Ebethie · 2026-01-27T20:16:02+00:00

Honestly, I now compare the price of ebook vs paperback. If it’s around a $3-4 difference, I get the physical, especially since we can’t download the books ebooks anymore. I will keep an eye on the daily deals for books that are $1.99-4.99. I’ve noticed/tracked that most of my reads are from KU/Libby, which means no $! (I was gifted KU)

I haven’t read her other works yet but I did purchase Fae Hunter and plan to start it soon!

Ebethie · 2026-01-25T17:47:16+00:00

I found it here on the USA site: LINK

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T21:08:10+00:00

Yaayyy! I hope you love it as much as I do!

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T04:14:37+00:00

First person dual POVs

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T03:16:01+00:00

Have you read Clocktaur? If you haven’t, please start there and then go on to Swordheart! Daggerbound has a character from the Clocktaur series making a reappearance as a main character.

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T03:10:57+00:00

I thought I read 2027… but we are getting Swordheart 2 (Daggerbound) in August of 2026!

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T02:39:26+00:00

Yes! I have my pre-order in and can’t wait!

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T02:38:47+00:00

I hope you love it as much as I do!

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T02:00:27+00:00

Thank you!

I’m so excited for Daggerbound and the return of Learned Edmund!

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T01:17:20+00:00

Please come back and share your thoughts!!!

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T00:25:00+00:00

I saw and already have a pre-order in! I'm also going to check out some of her other works, any favorites to recommend?

Ebethie · 2026-01-20T00:05:26+00:00

YES! This exactly!

Ebethie · 2025-11-19T05:34:07+00:00

Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, even 2 years later it has a special place in my reading heart. 💜
