luzulaLifelode by Jo Walton (2009)
For book club; reread. I enjoy the worldbuilding of this, with the geographical gradient of magic such that you can move if you want more/less magic, and I enjoy the domesticity of it, too.
A Dalliance With the Duke by AMarguerite (2018)
The pairing of this is Elizabeth Bennet/Duke of Wellington. If you're raising your eyebrows at that, it totally makes sense plot-wise, I promise! This is an AU where Elizabeth married Colonel Fitzwilliam instead of Darcy, and then she was in the Peninsular War, and then Colonel Fitzwilliam died at Waterloo. I don't really know or care much about the historical Duke of Wellington, but this fictional version has great chemistry and banter with Elizabeth. Thoroughly entertaining! I didn't even mind the older male partner with higher social status being dominant in bed, which let me tell you is usually a hard sell for me. Although if I have to choose one of the three choose-your-own-husband endings of this fic, I prefer the one with Colonel Fitzwilliam.
Also I have beta-read two novels bynnozomi, and enjoyed them very much! Hmm, have I read anything else? I can't remember at this point...during that family week, I hardly had time to read anything.
