Oh no, bad ..."
She's going to talk with her girlfriend tonight, see if they can fix it, but well, if I'm being honest, it doesn't look good...
And I'm not good at counseling because my last bad breakup was... More than 10 years ago lol
I've been struggling through head cold this weekend, been real tired so haven't got far with reading. Sorry team! Probably won't be till tomorrow evening for me xxAww i hope all works out for your friend Emilienne! Xx
I'm sorry to hear that Laura! At least there's not much time left for this challenge, you'll have time to rest properly soon.
Aww thanks, i love the challenge. I just underestimated how much of time work takes of my reading and getting a cold wasn't helpful this weekend. But yeah rest will be good, luckily half term coming on friday so shall have lots of time to relax and catch up on my reading too xx
That is terrible Emilienne. Breakups are so bad. It is good you can be there for.her. Hope you start feeling better Laura.

Its such a beautiful story, highly recommend giving a try. I'm surprised by how much i fell in love with it myself, considering the romance is light and slow burn but it was just such an interesting and amazing read. The characters are wonderful and i love Klunes writing here 💕
I love that feeling of not being able to stop.
We are almost ready for the next task right? I'm super excited.
Yeah just one more and all ready to go for next task, i know this one Emilienne wasn't keen so hopefully next one better for her!
I know how hard it is to get through a book you don't want to read. I hope she manages to get through it.
Same! I was going to mention pass as not her genre type, but i realised she already used it. Hope its not too bad for her xx
Hi teammates sorry for the dead line this week end.I'm good I looooove my book seriously. Let me eat and I'll post my completion post 😁

Review
I loved it! Humor, you got my heart ^^ I usually dont read fantasy or magic genre but this one is fantastic. Havoc is like the best demon ever lol. Beautiful, sinner, manwhore, absolutely disconected lol. Miles is the same but only human (well, a mage, but it doesn't count). The two of them together? Hilarious.
I didn't follow the story so well, I was mainly interested in the relationship between Miles and Havoc, but I'll read book 2 without an hesitation.

Oh my goodness was this a funny book. I could not put it down. Daphne was a strong and great character who loved Gray. Gray repaid that love by cheating on her. She cancelled their wedding. Fast forward a few years later their surviving parents are having a wedding and Daphne terrible uncle dies. They were moving that body all over the place. He would up and disappear on them. I am laughing as I am typing this. Long story short it was so fun!

I thought the other book was funny 😂😂 but this one takes the cake. I laughed so hard. Rosellen worked at a school where all the students and teachers were dropping like flies from the flu. She mistakenly thought she was dying. She wrote letters to people who wronged her. I loved her letters. I wish you all could read this book. It was wonderful.

Review:
What a delightful book. I enjoyed it so much. Billy made this book. I adored him. Mind you I am very happy I didn't have a child like him but from afar I loved him. Robert and Alissa were a match made because Robert didn't know how to be a father and he didn't want to be bothered to learn. This suited her just fine as she need a home. I loved her putting the DISCOVER SEXY KAMA SUTRA POSITIONS: THE ART OF MAKING LOVE under his pillow because he was a wham-bam thank you kindly Mam. 😂😂 I laughed at what the four boys got up led by Billy. Willy and Kendall were Alissa's two sons and Hugo plus Billy were Roberts. I loved how the joined forces to save the day. This book is a madcap romp that just was so much fun to read!
Gustaf if you need me to read a third book I can read another. I love this author. I hope out next task can fit Barbara Metzger books in. As I need to read them all!
That would actually be good Wende. I’m busy as hell tomorrow since it’s the day before our show.

I am going to read Wedded Bliss [*book:Wedded Bliss|18808339]

Review:
Everyone loves this book. So I know it is on me why I didn't care for it. I hate to say this but the book was way to long. It needed to be split into two books.I am bit perplexed why I was not liking this book. I loved the animals the main characters but the book was to preachy. It had such good writing, good spots, good secondary characters. It lacked cohesion between one moment to the next. I feel terrible that this book did not work for me.
