Publisher's summary
Wholesome. And whole wheat.
Gavric Restweary, the Nephilim Reborn, has vanquished a legion of Hell singlehandedly. At the end of his quest, a gleaming jewel awaits him—the Duke of Terror's Soulstone. But it was never intended as a reward.
Now forced by the Heavens to bear the Soulstone himself, Gavric must find a measure of peace by taking over his mother's bakery, lest Diabolicus escape his prison and corrupt the land anew. A heavy burden for one man to bear, but doing so gives him hope that he may live to find some reprieve from his trauma.
He won't be alone, however. Kyrael, Rose Maiden and Angel of Innocence, the sole daughter of Tyranor the Golden, soon arrives outside Torstram as a falling star. Her mission? Watch over the hero and the Soulstone. But just how will the dynamic between the Angel and the Nephilim unfold? Will they find peace and comfort together, or will Gavric succumb to the Soulstone?
Action. Connection. Peace. Adventure. And lots of bread. This book has it all.

Story
Isekaied into a level 86 Necromancer-King's body, I leave his life of war behind in favor of peace in the idyllic Borderlands. Upon meeting the elven maiden Narya Summerdew and a razor-toothed half-elven child, the three of us form an unlikely improvised family in the hopes of remaining anonymous. As we embrace the eccentric community of Gelderham, we find happiness in simplicity…But my past casts shadows on our growing bonds. How will Narya react when she learns her new husband was once the evil king set on destroying her people?

Story
One minute, I’m working a boring office job and craving more from life. The next? I’m dropped in the middle of a new world as a dragon with jet-black scales and obsidian flames to match. Luckily, I still have my human form, because the locals weren't happy to see me. Thankfully, one was a sweet fox girl who loves to daydream. Together we hunt to survive, build ourselves a shelter, and fight some dragon slayers—even recruit a cute battle-elf. While living the cozy cabin life and having the occasional battle to the death with the locals, another dragon plagues the kingdom.

Story
The beachside town of Oyster Cove had everything a man could want—endless white sand beaches, plentiful summer activities, and of course, more beautiful women than you could shake a tail at. I came to Oyster Cove to enjoy a leisurely summer of surf and sun, but I find out pretty quickly that there’s more to this town than meets the eye.

In a world like ours—except there's elves and goblins, so way better—Michael is dealing with some very human problems. He just fired his useless nephew as his tomb-raiding assistant. On top of that, his uncle's fallen ill, so he's got to uproot his life to look after the business, an antique shop in the city. It's full of artifacts from the age of heroes. Swords, gems, and helmets galore.

Story
The best part about being a knight is the peaceful treks across rolling hills, with nothing but gentle winds and bubbling streams for company. Unfortunately, Richard's next quest breaks that solitude. He needs to gain entry into the fabled Clawmire, and only a flighty catgirl heading the opposite way can help him. Ida is snooty and feral in equal measure. When she hunts, the wildness in her eyes ignites something inside him. When she cooks, his stomach sings an orchestra. And when she leaps into the trees wearing that short purple dress, well, a gentleman does his best not to look up.

The Demon Lord is dead. The System is broken. Somehow, Elias Hearthsong is neither of these things, despite being at the final battle of the Demon Wars. He is a Master Enchanter, perhaps the last one alive. Determined to keep a promise, he crosses the continent to protect his dead friend's legacy: a crumbling orphanage run by a beautiful kitsune. He isn't a teacher, nor does he have experience with children. But with the love of a few good women, anything can become possible.

Growing up on modern day Earth, I had no idea I’d been selected from birth to help a dying race save their population. So when a starship abducts me for a royal wedding with galactic consequences, my only option is to help its crew of beautiful officers complete their mission. The catch? I have to protect my gorgeous bride and new allies from an alluring enemy who wants my immunity to a fertility-killing plague for herself, even if it means I have to take command.

Dragged against his will through a yawning purple vortex by a mouthy catgirl, he finds himself in another world full of vivid colors—and peerless beauties. Cowgirls, lamias, satyresses, unicorns, and even elves of all colors of the rainbow make his acquaintance early and often...and he handles them pretty darn well for a random fast food worker in over his head.

Taken from my old life with little memory of what brought me here, I wake up in a high tech capsule. A wrinkly old elf tells me that my soul is incomplete and has been fused with that of a Solar Dragon to give me a second chance at life. Where? When? An urban metropolis filled with fantasy races, erected atop the back of a giant asteroid. Meteoropolis. And millions of years in the future, to boot. But that's not all. I've got super powers, too. To add to the excitement, I end up hosted by an anxious unicorn elf named Pinky Peach who is basically a professional gamer girl.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story
One minute, I’m working a boring office job and craving more from life. The next? I’m dropped in the middle of a new world as a dragon with jet-black scales and obsidian flames to match. Luckily, I still have my human form, because the locals weren't happy to see me. Thankfully, one was a sweet fox girl who loves to daydream. Together we hunt to survive, build ourselves a shelter, and fight some dragon slayers—even recruit a cute battle-elf. While living the cozy cabin life and having the occasional battle to the death with the locals, another dragon plagues the kingdom.

Story
When my girlfriend’s dad chased me out of her bedroom that Saturday evening, I never expected to end up transported to a world based on some sort of RPG System. But I guess that’s what happens when you're focused on avoiding the business end of a baseball bat and not paying attention to where you’re running. To make matters worse, I managed to get myself indentured to some sort of dungeon god. That’ll teach me to not read the fine print. The job had some great perks though: an epic class, magic powers, and a smoking hot succubus that couldn’t get enough of me.

Somebody once told a joke. A man ran in place all his life. He worked a job he didn't love for people he couldn't stand. But at the end of the day, the number in his bank account went up. That man got a second chance at life. He woke up in another world, one full of adventures and romances and monsters and gods. And floating above his head, he saw the number "1". So what did he say? "Gosh, I better make the number go up." Not today. Not for this old soul. Reborn as a beast of battle meant to live a short life and die screaming, Garek refuses.

When I inherited my grandfather's magic shop, I wasn't exactly thrilled. I have plans, and inheriting a magic shop in a sleepy, mysterious little town isn't one of them. But when I discover a stunning girl named Elodie, with cat ears atop her head, working at the shop, I can't help but be intrigued. At first glance, I assume Elodie is just another pretty face working at my grandfather's magic shop. With her sleek hair, mesmerizing green eyes, and curves in all the right places, it's hard not to be distracted by her stunning appearance. But as I soon discover, there's much more to Elodie.

A tropical paradise, great food, and beautiful women at the local sorority . . . until I crossed paths with a mysterious murder and sightings of an honest-to-God werewolf! Now I'm surrounded by three beautiful women, all drawn into the mystery, and it turns out that my new dog is a smoking hot shapeshifter. Life's gotten crazy, but maybe, if we all work together, we'll find out who the real killer is. Could it be the curmudgeonly divemaster with a grudge? The sleazy resort owner drumming up sensationalism for tourist bucks?

Can an OP MC find rest after the quest is over?
The story is really good. Best Mono romance, clean men's romance, and humorous slice of life tale I have read. Possibly the first I've read like this in a long while. The dark universe themes make this suitable only for teen and up, but is not 18+ like many stories coming out of the men's romance category. Even in its grimness there is humor. Kyraeal is adorably clueless and the narrator, Hanah Scooner, brings her to life wonderfully. Giancarlo Hererra is a good gruff voice for Gavric.
John Broadway is one of my new favorite authors.

Wholesome and Beautiful
A beautiful rom com. Watching the relationship build between the Gavrick and Kurial (not sure if I spelled that right) is wonderful and cozy. She is ditzy, but not in an annoying way, and you really feel for Gavrick and what he went through before the story starts. I recommend this to anyone who wants a clean laid back adventure with the right amount of cute romance.

Bread, cakes and dead demons!
Soulstone bakery is a sweet mono romance story between nephilim and angel from the high heavens. Gavric just "saved" the world but the threat of Diabolicus still lingers. In order for our hero to stay strong and not succumb to the influence of duke of terror he has to find peace from task in his day to day life.
Soon everything in his life starts to change after Tyranor sends his daughter Kyrael to accompany Gavric. Kyrael is totally lost when it comes to peoples living habits but atleast she is cheery and bubbly and always ready to learn something new.
Together they keep the people of stonemeadow fed and protected and hopefully the duke of terror sealed away. Lastly I must thank Hannah and Giancarlo for their superb voice acting! This was the first narration that I have listened from either of the two and they 100 nailed this one! 10/10 audiobook!

Very wholesome and charming
Where to start? First of all the performers are amazing. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on them in the future. I don’t think this was as good as some of the author's other works, but mainly because this one is a one and done that being said, the ending was very sweet and cute. The writing here was arguably stronger, but that could be the switch to third person POV instead of first person in his other books.
The chemistry between the two main characters was a lot of fun. The lead female is very quirky and bubbly, but because of the fact that she is new to being in a human body, it can be a little bit awkward at times since she doesn’t have full understanding of how things work. The author navigated this with care, but it might be weird to some (based on the other review). I didn’t get a creepy or inappropriate vibe from it.
That being said, there is no s*x in the book and the relationship is very wholesome. The male lead really looks up to the female lead and respects her for who she is. The female lead is a little over-the-top sometimes but very funny. She is clearly a man's fantasy about what a feminine woman is, but that being said, Kyrael gets fleshed out through the story.
This is obviously a tribute to a certain game franchise, but it doesn’t actually use any of its real lore or characters. That means that the story feels pretty fresh and interesting for a book like this. At the very least I can say that I enjoyed it a lot and I haven’t read anything quite like it.
I recommend it to fans of the author's other work, and generally fans of romance for men. I do not recommend it for women, because the lead female is, as the author says, a manic pixie Dream girl in a way, which women will probably find more annoying than men because she’s feminine to an extreme, almost a caricature at times, but not in a way that is abrasive or unattractive. Just... too perfect, I guess.
Some pluses, though, although the lead female is described as beautiful, she is not sexually described. There is some violence in the story, mostly just killing demons, and one of the funniest scenes is a rather silly date in which they kill demons together and get very lovey-dovey about it.
Overall, very good. Not my favorite book, but one of my favorites in this particular genre for sure. the fact that the audiobook itself is so good means I’ll probably come back to this one more than most.

Love the Diablo references.
I usually prefer steamier books but this one was great. The Diablo references were really amazing and fun to hear. Not to mention the it’s one of the few books that made me get emotional more than once. Great story telling, awesome voice acting, and overall an awesome book. Give it a shot. If you love these kinds of books you won’t be disappointed.

Great book by a newer author!
John Broadway has done it! Crafted a story with such down to earth characters that it’s not just the MC that you care about.
I loved this story to pieces and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light hearted LITRPG story. Kyrael is such a breath of fresh air and I want to just take her and Gabric and put them in a bubble so they can be happy. However the bakery does a fine job at giving them something to do with their time and provides plenty of interaction with the townsfolk. Loved this so much!
Please note: This book is PG, though there are some discussions that might not be youth appropriate. But nothing is explicit.
