The League of Lusty Ladies Romance Book Club: March 2025
League of Lusty Ladies, it's time to sharpen your daggers (or maybe just your reading glasses) because our March book club pick is here! This month, we’re diving into bloodshed, betrayal, and one broody vampire warlord. If you love high-stakes romance with a side of fantasy politics and forbidden attraction, you won’t want to miss this one.
📖 March’s Pick: Slaying the Vampire Conqueror by Carissa Broadbent
Our March book club pick is Slaying the Vampire Conqueror by Carissa Broadbent, a fantasy romance available on Kindle Unlimited. This book is also getting a special edition hardcover release in March, so if you’ve been waiting for a print version, now’s your chance!
Carissa Broadbent has been a highly requested author, and I figured it was finally time to take the plunge. This book is technically part of the Mortal Enemies to Monster Lovers series, but it stands alone. It’s also set in the Crowns of Nyaxia world (book 2.5, for those who like to read in order), but you can absolutely jump in here with no prior knowledge.
Here’s what you need to know:
Mortal enemies to lovers with actual high stakes
A ruthless vampire warlord vs. an assassin sent to kill him
Slow-burn tension and a morally gray hero who only softens for one person
Fantasy politics, war, and epic battle scenes
A heroine who could stab you—or kiss you
Basically, if you’ve ever debated whether to kiss the vampire or stab the vampire, this book is for you.
