Welcome to Ginger & Inked! I am excited to share my love of books to the world and connect with many amazing authors and readers ❤️

I have always been a reader since childhood and would often stay up late reading by torchlight.

Reading is such a fundamental part of my life and it is what makes me, well me!

I’ll never stop and I discovered a whole new variety of authors and books when I got my first kindle over 10 years ago!

Safe to say I was converted instantly, I still try get those shelf trophies for books I love though!

I am an ARC Reader/Reviewer and Street Team Member to a number of authors (mainly indie). I just want to help share their books to the world!

There is so many amazing books I haven’t discovered yet and love recommendations!

The only sad thing is there is never enough time to read all the books you find and my TBR is never ending!

Happy Release Day @catreiagrove !!!

Star-Crossed and Fate-Bound are available on Amazon now! With paperbacks available on 3 November and signed copies available from late November!

Blurb - Star-Crossed

The price to cross Ironhold’s border is simple: take a knight along with her for the length of a journey that kills seven travelers out of nine.

Caro Lockhart has earned two godmarks. Four more will make her the first master healer in one hundred years. She doesn’t need a bodyguard. She doesn’t need anyone, for that matter. She’s spent her career proving that, one saved stranger at a time—and then leaving before they can finish saying thank you.

Armant has spent his whole life being useful to people who have never cared what he wanted. He didn’t ask for this assignment either. But he’s watched over harder things than one prickly healer’s pride, and he’s not about to let the ice, the road, or Caro herself talk him out of getting her there and back alive.

Eleven days out and eleven days back should be short enough to survive each other. It shouldn’t be long enough to unlearn a lifetime of solitude—but somewhere between a city suspended in a cage of bone and a tower beneath a god’s eye, something starts to give.

The trials ahead will cost Caro more than she’s ever paid for anything, in a coin only she can spend. And when the door closes on the future she thought she wanted, Armant will have to decide—not for the first time, but for the only time that’s ever mattered—whether he’s the kind of man who lets it close quietly.

💫💫💫💫💫

Star-Crossed is Book 1 of the Star-Crossed Cycle. It continues directly into Fate-Bound.

“If you require an introduction, so be it. My name is Grandmaster Asinios Nyceas Laconos the Third, Domitor of Karagat, Lord and Warden of Lerlonia, and you, puny vessel, have just understood how thoroughly screwed you are, right?”

—

Welcome to the Realm of the Ten Moons, a world ruled by the one thing mightier than birthright—bureaucracy. So, pay your taxes, keep your head down, and for your own sake, don’t accept dubious amulets, no matter how shiny they are. You have been warned.

—

Have you ever woken up after accepting a pretty amulet, hearing a voice in your head, demanding from you to become their vessel? No? Good for you. Because I wouldn’t recommend this experience. Especially not when said voice turns out to be the loser of the war he waged with your kingdom, and who awaits his death sentence in jail. Well, his body is. But his mind is dead set on saving his own skin—literally.

But I can’t shake the feeling that “helping” him is only the start.

—

Spoils of War is a dark but humorous romantic fantasy standalone happening in the absurd Realm of the Ten Moons. Expect a character-driven story before the backdrop of unique world-building blending fantasy elements, bureaucracy, and romance. Expect tropes getting turned upside down, two morally compromised MCs around thirty, and a rich realm burying the deeper problems under a mountain of paperwork.

Spoils Of War by @emilyvillin.author this is looking to be amazing can't wait to read it 😍

4 Days!

Dash oh Dash, our green walking pirate flag.

Well as green as you can get for pirates right? Can’t be a pirate without a little bit of blood shed…..

Especially when it comes to Willa 🤭🤭🤭

And yes as long as it’s your name coming from Willa’s lips she can call you whatever she wants.. (hint he means only his name 😏🤭🤭)

…Dash Avery is every bit the fierce pirate captain with a devoted crew to go along with his notorious reputation. He is lethal, a proficient keeper of secrets, and has no problem claiming what he wants. But beneath his brooding exterior is a man with a complicated past. One that Willa is determined to uncover.….

And ARC read complete!!

Welcome to the Legacy Trials, where power is inherited, secrets are currency, and desire is a weapon.

False Legacies by @amybriarauthor was such a fun read and wove mystery, intrigue, social status into a game of survival - secure alliances or be voted out!

I loved this so much and Finn is such a breath of fresh air! I can’t wait for the next book and what’s going to happen next!

Gray is such an enigma, but 🥵!

Amy I hope you enjoyed all my unhinged theories and exclamations when I thought I knew something as I read along!

It’s so wonderfully written and I got fully immersed into the story and the growth Penelope had!

I’ll need a shelf trophy because I would definitely reread again!

Dark romantasy fans will love the glittering social trials, rival courts, three irresistible love interests, and scandal-soaked drama of False Legacies.
