And with that #lighthouse in the background on the cover, and featuring heavily in the book, I've also ticked off the last square in #RippedBodiceBingo for 2024.

Was anyone else playing #RippedBodiceBingo this year? Not one of my best boards, but I did get 3 bingos.
Am I retroactively mad at everyone who told me this was a time slip subway story and failed to mention the amnesia? Yes, I am. Also a delightful look at family, and home, and horniness. For #RippedBodiceBingo can be used for amnesia, number in the title, or graduation.
Come for the himbo fairy godfather, stay for the maid who learns how precious anger at injustice is. Also one of the best answers to try love's kiss I have seen.
Really enjoyed this. For #RippedBodiceBingo can be used for mistaken identity, superpower, title has a number in it, and/or dance
Am I reading a lot of baking themed books lately? Yes. Anyway, a matchmaking mom decided to choose contestants for the baking competition based primarily on their eligibility to date her daughter? Said daughter is horrified, and also maybe finds one of the contestants not terrible? Shenanigans ensue. For #RippedBodiceBingo, can be used for food on the cover and graduation.
So cute! Former reality star and football player/cupcake shop owner end up working together. When fans of the show catch wind, she says he's her new boyfriend. Impulsive vs. orderly matchup, however will that work out. For #RippedBodiceBingo - food on the cover.
I personally felt this leaned a little more women's fiction, even though there is a satisfying romance. Amusingly in the author interview in back, Emezi said they liked the idea of you reading the blurb and being like no way, and then hopefully being convinced by the story. Well, lol, I didn't read the blurb, so it was all a surprise. For #RippedBodiceBingo can be used for fictional country and dance.
A fun foodie romance about a chef who can taste emotions and goes by feel, who ends up working for a chef who is all about creating the same food. Definitely will make you hungry. Content note: One character gets pretty injured, though for those who like the sick/comfort trope, there is that.
For #RippedBodiceBingo can be used for food on cover, bath, workplace rivals.
While I personally don't think North Americans write Brits that sound very British, I did think this was an interesting look at two people from very different worlds trying to manage to handle public expectations. For #RippedBodiceBingo can be used for Bath, and dance.
