Callout post for @a-kind-of-merry-war and the Mills & Boon marketing team for trying to make me choose between Raff and Penn in Emma/Merry's debut novel, One Night in Hartswood, a queer medieval romance, when my ADHD, bisexual ass has never committed to making a decision in my life, and I'm sure as shit not about to start now because I love them both, your honor.
I love them both so much.
More coherent words to follow when I've actually sat down and processed this because I'm currently in that stage when you've just finished a book, and you don't know what to do with your life anymore.
This was so much fun. Really gorgeous prose. Reads like comfort fanfic even while you're screaming at the pages. I am absolutely going to order myself a hardcover copy from the UK, as us plebians in the US don't seem to be getting one. (Yet.)
UK release date Jan 19th, 20223. The US release seems to be in November (according to Amazon, at least). All the pre-order links are up above, along with some more info and tropes, but I'll link them again here.
I am going to lie down. Maybe scream into my pillow for a bit.
Additional image ID under the tags due to length and post accessibility.
Image ID: A series of three images collected into a collage. In the top image, we are shown the purple spine of a book that reads "One Night in Hartswood" by Emma Denny in a sunset gradient of colors.
The bottom images showcase the two sides of the book cover, which is rendered with a watercolor texture background in yellow, orange, and pink, bordered by lilac and dark purple trees with leaves falling to the ground.
This arc copy of the book depicts the main character, Penn, on the back of the book, cast in the same dark purple silhouette as the trees. He is sitting on the ground under a tree, head bowed with one arm resting on his knee. Above his head, the name “Penn” is written in a purple gilded font. Underneath is the hashtag #PennHasMyHeart.
The right side image depicts the front cover where the other main character, Raff, is rendered similarly but with his head uplifted and a dandelion flower blowing away in his fingers. Above him is his name in the same gilded font, and beneath him is the hashtag #RaffHasMyHeart.
#one night in hartswood#emma denny#other people's writing#arc reader#incoherent review#slightly more coherent one to follow at some point#liiiisten#if you're Geraskier trash (like me) you'll love it#also just Merry's blog in general#go follow

One Night in Hartswood - OUT NOW!
One Night in Hartswood is a queer medieval romance novel about why making out with a mysterious guy in the woods the night before your wedding (and then running away with him) might not be a very good idea, especially when you’re both lying about who you really are (and he’s the brother of the woman you’re supposed to be marrying.)
One Night in Hartswood contains...
🗡️ "Run away with me" (and actually doing it)
🗡️ Hidden identities
🗡️ Huddling for warmth
🗡️ Bone-deep yearning
🗡️ Hands-on training
"This is without a doubt one of the best romance novels I've read. I couldn't put it down."
"Completely engrossing, beautifully written and the details are delicious. It's unlike anything I've read before."
"Denny has a way of writing romance that highlights its insecurities and fears, as well as the passionate burn of it... this book was a sincere joy to read, leaving me feeling satisfied and warm."
"Denny's writing is genuinely some of my favourite I've ever read... Maybe, quite possibly, my favourite ever?"
"10 fucking stars out of 5"
Read the first chapter FOR FREE here!
(Full blurb, more info & CWs under the cut)
Oxfordshire, 1360
William de Foucart - known as Penn - is betrothed to a stranger. When he flees his father’s keep on the eve of his wedding, he’s looking only for a final night of freedom in Hartswood Forest, but what he finds is a mysterious man named Raff… and a desperate kiss beneath the trees. As dawn breaks, and Penn sneaks back, he decides that he will not be forced to bend to his father’s will. He’s going to escape both the keep and the marriage, and this time he won’t return.
Raff Barden, the son of an Earl, has been roped into searching for his reluctant sister’s missing groom. Instead, he stumbles across Penn once more, and assuming he’s a servant running from his cruel master he offers his help - hoping he can give Penn the freedom they both crave.
Unaware of their real identities, they begin to travel north, trying to ignore the attraction that still burns between them. But when they finally give in and grow closer, their continued concealment threatens everything they know and trust in each other. When their secrets are finally revealed, and the consequences of their relationship become clear, both must decide what they will risk for the man they love.

I just finished @a-kind-of-merry-war' incredible book "One Night in Hartswood" and you guys! It's so good!! My heart, the pining has me screaming into a pillow. The identity porn was on point and there were so many parts that had me grinning like an idiot or freeze with my mouth hanging open.
The final act was everything i could have wished for. It had the perfect amount of drama and angst and such a satisfying conclusion
I adore all of the characters. Especially Ash. The sarcasm! The grumpiness! The way he's giving his brother shit but loves him so dearly!
I can also very much recommend the audiobook. There are two voice actors (one for Penn and one for Raff's pov) and it's so cool to hear the different accents. Also their voices are really nice to listen to
In conclusion, everybody go read this book! (i say very selflessly and not at all because i want to scream about this book with someone and read Ash fanfiction)
