Heart Block : A Friends To Lovers Short Story (Charleston Harbor)
Desi Stowe
“I really enjoyed this short story. Even in just 60 pages, Desi Stowe delivers characters you instantly love and a plot that pulls you in fast. I love this series, and Heartblock reminded me why — Desi’s characters always feel alive, warm, and easy to root for. A quick read that left me smiling. ”

“The shadow, the predator, the monster. Caspian is a haunting figure of darkness, and for him, Olivia Sinclair isn't just a woman—she is the missing piece to his very survival. Trapped within the cold stone and leaden secrets of the North Tower, Olivia has been tormented her whole life by a family defined by deception and abuse. But as the Vesperthorns close in and an infection hums in her marrow, the stakes reach a diabolical breaking point. Will she finally find the freedom she’s dreamed of, or will she fall prey to the hidden evil weaving a web of stolen light around her? A gripping tale where the line between "God" and "Monster" is razor-thin.”

The Tricksters Deception

“I love, love, love the descriptions in this book. It makes the story feel so immersive like you're actually there. It plays on all senses that you have and is just done wonderfully. And Corvu, please, my newest book boyfriend. I'm just a sucker for this kind of set up and I can definitely see this series becoming one that I can reread. While I have a few chapters left, I know this is a five star for me and there is nothing in the world that could change that. It has mystery, paranormal, romance, and the fantasy element that I find so intriguing! You're going to pick this book up and not want to put it down!”

“I read this book as an ARC reader, and I absolutely loved it! From the very first pages, the story pulled me in and never let go. The characters are incredibly likeable and show just enough depth to make you truly care about them. The writing flows so smoothly that the book is impossible to put down… I finished it in just two days! The plot is engaging, fast-paced, and simply a joy to read. I found myself fully immersed in the world and genuinely excited to keep turning the pages. This was one of those books that reminds you why you love reading in the first place. I enjoyed every moment of this story and I cannot wait to see where the series goes next!”
