Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about but haven’t yet read. Most of the time they’re books that have yet to be released, but not always. It’s based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme, which was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. 

This week my Can’t-Wait-For Book is Til Death Do Us Bard  by Rose Black!

Marriage isn't always sunshine and unicorns... sometimes it's monsters and necromancy.

It's been almost a year since Logan 'The Bear' Theaker hung up his axe and settled down with his sunshiny bard husband, Pie. But when Pie disappears, Logan is forced back into a world he thought he'd left behind.

Logan quickly discovers that Pie has been blackmailed into stealing a powerful artifact capable of creating an undead army. With the help of an old adversary and a ghost from his past, Logan sets out to rescue his husband.

But the further the quest takes him, the more secrets Logan uncovers. He'll need all his strength to rescue his husband - but can he save their marriage?

I am a total sucker for a punny title, and everything about this premise delights me! Especially since, for all the blurb says ‘marriage isn’t always sunshine and unicorns’, there are – count them! – not one, not two, but THREE unicorns on that gorgeous cover!

Strongly suggesting that there will, in fact, be unicorns.

Which makes me extremely happy! (I need more unicorns in my fiction, okay??? I’ll accept even a brief glimpse of one!)

And can you believe the sunshiny bard husband is named Pie??? Even if it’s just a nickname, that is so silly and on-point that it’s charming.

Which is how this whole book feels, really: light-hearted, indulgent, and charming. Likely to be funny and plenty escapist. EXACTLY what the doctor ordered, in other words! I’m majorly looking forward to curling up with this when it arrives…somewhere cosy with a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate. In my unicorn mug, of course.

Tell me you’re not charmed by this adorable-sounding fantasy romance???
