If there’s one thing you should expect when reading a book by J.S. Fields, it’s the unexpected. Fields comes up with the quirkiest ideas, whether they write sci-fi or fantasy.

Imagine an island where dragons and unicorns used to roam freely now divided between four monarchies and, in the middle, a forest and caves where a guild of highway robbers live pretty much in peace. A leader with impenetrable skin, her brother with highly sensitive skin, a princess with visions, horses with half-formed wings… Mix all these ingredients and you’ll get a riotous enemies to lovers romance full of surprises and banter.

It took me a few pages to get orientated in the world Fields came up with. Just as I was getting acclimated, they’d throw in a detail that made me question what I thought I’d understood. I quite enjoyed the feeling, but it means it was a slow start for me. Once I got in, however, I was all in. I also appreciated the fact that the MCs are full-blown adults (they’re 43 and 37), with actual life experience combined with the remaining ability to make the worst decisions.

The Rosewood Penny is many things at once: it’s cosy fantasy, it’s a romance, it’s fun, it’s emotional, it’s hot and tender.
