simonlorden 's review for:

Ace of Hearts by Abby Colsen
4.0
emotional hopeful lighthearted
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

The author made this book available for free on Kobo and on the author's website, so I recommend it to everyone who is interested in light-hearted asexual romances. Be warned that there are some explicit sex scenes, that are consensual but a bit uncomfortable (Liv consented but she's not really enjoying it).

I did make a wrong assumption based on the blurb, since Cam is a neutral name and there are no pronouns, so I thought this would be an F/F story but it's actually M/F with an ace female character. I love Cam though, so once I got over my surprise I enjoyed him a lot.

Liv's best friend is a lesbian witch, and there is a nonbinary character with their own little sideplot about their identity, which was also really nice.

Liv is also a fashion designer who makes patterns for clothes and dresses, which was very interesting to read about. And Cam is a biologist who is really into birds.
