The Sculptor's Song is a slow burn, cozy fantasy romance with spice. If you like muscular cinnamon rolls and opposites attract romance in a gaslamp fantasy realm with cobblestone streets, horse carriages, and magic, you'll love this second book in the Sageport Series. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone romance, but it’s best to read them in order for maximum enjoyment.
Steamy but not dark. less
