I finished Across Time and Space Detective last week. The romance didn't do much for me--it kind of felt like the sort of afterthought romance you get in het thrillers, where they spend the whole movie doing Plot together and then at the end you're just meant to accept that of course they're a couple--but there wasn't anything wrong with it either, and the cross-time mystery was a lot of fun. Some personal life stuff happened and I didn't read anything over the weekend or the start of the week, but yesterday I picked up I Excavated an Emperor to Become My Wife which is archaeologist/ghost emperor, aka a trope that will always appeal to me, and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. It starts out much more horror flavored than I had anticipated and seems like the romance will be a slow burn (well. by now the mc knows what *he* wants but he also knows that mr. ghost emperor has been dead for 1600 years).

I kinda wish stories that don't plan on developing the romantic relationship just don't tack it on as if to check off a box...

I Excavated an Emperor sounds interesting. Hope it stays the course in terms of being fun to read!
