Come True

I absolutely loved this book. The world building was amazing. Actually getting to see the magical world of the genies. I have never seen that done before and it was amazing. The vivid descriptions of the different settings is like you were there. And omg the banter between Dolly and Vel, perfection. I loved every bit of this book my only thing is long chapters but other than that a great read

This was so flipping cute! I loved the interaction between the characters. I had never read a genie romance before and this didnt disappoint. I laughed with the banter and the stubborn ways of both MCs. Both hotheads and definitely stubborn! Not only did we get a slowburn romance but we also got mental health rep and comical dialogue. Super heartfelt with regards to the character healing and development. This story is great for YA readers for sure. There is some spice but not too much. My daughter has officially added it to her TBR, there's not a lot of Genie Romances out there! 

I enjoyed the dynamic between Velis and Dolly. Looking forward to more! 
Huge thanks to the author for gifting me a copy. All opinions are my own.

COME TRUE is the perfect fantasy romcom! Counting on a magical urban fantasy setting and the sparkling, humorous banter of its protagonists, it weaves together a light, feel-good read with genies and a competition that kept me grinning through the pages. Dolly and Velis were a true delight. Their bickering was hilarious, and while at times their dialogues could come across as a little childish, it fit the mood of the book and I enjoyed their squabbling. Much to my enjoyment, I’ve also found theirs to be an instant attraction that worked wonders. Dolly and Velis instantly show signs of interest one toward the other, but outside circumstances and their stubbornness force them into a satisfying slow-burn, which only added depth to their bond as both characters open up and help each other overcome limits and insecurities. My favorite thing in a romance! As for spice, there is a sprinkle of it, but it’s quite mild so I think this read remains perfect for both YA and more mature audiences.

 is that, while it’s a playful book in its whole, the author doesn’t shy away from shedding light to important issues with both of her protagonists. With Dolly, we follow a young woman victim of a misogynist mentality that severely punishes women for mistakes that easily forgivable to men, and the consequences this sort of behavior has on her life and mental health. Velis, on the other hand, is on the receiving end of discriminations due to his being a half nymph. While both issues were enraging and difficult to read, I loved the healing journeys the characters underwent and loved that these issues found space in such a feel-good story.

In short, I very much enjoyed this read, and I’m looking forward to following Dolly and Velis on their next adventure!

This book is here to remind us to make genies more relevant in romance. I want all of the genie romance now! I mean…the potential for romance subgenres is endless. 

 was a delightful romance, which I drank in like fresh water from the very first page. It’s fun, different, and deeply emotional, too. Our protagonist, Dolly, is haunted by a mistake that has brought her upon a self-alienating path. That is, until she accidentally summons a genie, who wants nothing more to grant her wishes…and claim her soul before his brothers get to her first.

Now that sounds ominous, right? But Velis couldn’t be the furthest thing from a shady character. On the contrary, he was sassy and very thoughtful. A cinnamon bun wrapped in a sinnamon bun’s crust, if you get what I mean. A combination of sweet and sinful that makes him impossible to resist. Dolly sure has a hard time reminding herself she has three more weeks of repenting to do.

What I loved most about this romance was how Dolly and Velis helped each other heal from their insecurities and emotional traumas. Their stories and backgrounds are different, but in a way they’re very much the same—beautiful souls, lonely and scorned. They were there for each other when others had turned their backs on them. There were a few instances where I found their dialogues to be a bit childish, and the fact that Velis was often described as a “boy” sometimes clashed with the image of the hot stud I was trying to picture based on his description.

The steam in this book is mild—on page, but described in a way that appeals to both lovers of spice and those who prefer a milder romance, so it’s definitely a book I recommend to all lovers of the genre!

Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.

I am in love with this book. I loved following the story of Dolly Jones and Velis Reilhander. I loved watching the live grow between them and finding out stuff from the past which leads to an amazing ending. I want to say more but then you wouldn’t have to read the book lol. So let’s just say I highly highly recommend this book to everyone. Just trust me when I say yes the chapters are long but you won’t regret it at all. Also my least favorite person is James, Gabe and the rest of that snobby gang of meaner’s lol.
