Catching up, after a couple of months when I posted only about health, the social security disability appeal, and food.
Perfect Accord, by Celia Lake, another of her historical fantasy romances, set in a somewhat alternate world where some people have magic. This story is about two people who agreed in their early teens to marry each other if nobody better comes along by the time their parents are pushing them to marry and have children. In the course of the book, the woman discovers that she's tired of solving the man's problems, and that there might be someone out there who she actively wants to marry. I enjoyed this, but suspect there are better places to start with these books.
I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons, by Peter Beagle. Fantasy romance about a dragon-exterminator, a princess who really doesn't want to get married, and a wandering prince who is officially on a quest, mostly to stay away from his family. This world's dragons range from large and dangerous down to "they're breeding in the walls, better catch the infestation while it's small."
Lady Eve's Last Con, by Rebecca Fraimow same-sex romance/thriller about a con artist trying to make her way on a satellite in orbit around Pluto, with flashbacks to near-future Brooklyn.
Penric and the Bandit, by Lois McMaster Bujold. A good entry in a long-running series, better I think than the couple before it, but there is an internal chronology, and the books are best read in order.
