The second book in Jade Lee’s Lords of the Masquerade series, Lord Satyr stars a neuroatypical botany-loving on-the-shelf spinster and an aristocrat trying to make an independent business fortune. While some aspects of the story are silly, the core relationship in this book is full of warm-fuzzy acceptance and kindness. That’s always worth a read….

It’s a dark and gritty love story centred around the unlikeliest of couples, and it packs an emotional punch that will linger with you long after you turn the…

When Ellie Jacobs stumbles upon…
