January arrives heavy with reflection, that deep, aching pull towards something half-remembered, half-dreamed ❄️✨ and there is no better word for it than hiraeth.

Ellis Clarke has never felt at home anywhere, until a visit to Beddgelert awakens an overwhelming sense of belonging, woven with nostalgia, mystery, and the quiet presence of Luke Maddox—a Guardian of Wales and red Dragon who knows she is his other half, even if she does not yet know herself 🐉❤️.

As winter lingers and the year opens before us, Hiraeth explores destiny, lost responsibility, and the question January so often asks: Will you claim the truth of who you are, even if it changes everything? ✨📖

A book where the President’s son falls for the Prince of Wales? Sign me up!

This book is raunchy and the language is rather explicit, and my goodness, I loved it. This one was one of my rare audiobook listens, and I was driving down the road laughing and crying. Wiping away actual tears at points.

McQuiston combines a sort of coming of age love story against the backdrop of politics. Both storylines are compelling beyond belief. Alex, the President’s son and our main character, is incredibly well-written. Funny, sweet, and so real. And Henry, our Prince, is lovely too. It’s impossible not to root for them.

This book is witty, sweet, a surprising nail biter at times, and offers such a great message—now more than ever. (And the narrator in this one was easily my favorite in my limited audiobook career.) Cannot recommend it enough!
