As much as I’m digging this, this author always injects some head shaking things in her books. Lots of throbbing and dampness all over and now a spontaneous climax while getting a hug 🤔😂

The momming is just hitting so authentically and then the MMC is a genuine guy with a romantic heart. And the attraction is sizzling 😍

He was trying to tell if he liked it or not. Was she his first kiss? And why, oh why did that make her heart beat so loudly in her chest that it almost deafened her?

Love reading firsts and them figuring things out

Loving it, he’s aloof on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside and she’s encouraging and a delight

“The Queen was humming to herself, a smile playing about her lips. There was something almost monstrous about the way she was toying with his life, like some kind of spoiled child with her puppets.”

Still don’t like the Queen

”Surely you heard tell of the bishop’s sermon last week, highlighting the evils of lady’s hairstyles?” Gunnilde replied unthinkingly. Harriet let out a yelp of indignation. “You are not supposed to take his excellency’s admonishments as fashion advice, Gunnilde!” she said, aghast.

😂

Going ahead and marking this cause it’s up next, so excited!

What to do when you can't pick your next read and are procrastinating writing a review? Add a bunch to your TBR of course 😅

Alice Coldbreath newsletter update - new Karadok book should be here before the end of June ahhhhhh!

Well that took an unexpected turn that I heartily approve of, go Jack!

It’s much easier to connect with cinnamon roll Bo than it is Mor…she’s nice but the magic’s not there for her character imo

This poor, cursed, sweet man 🥺

Best thing about a new Shelly sibling story, I get my favorite Shelly sibling and her mate right at the start, love Ame and Jack references 😍

Love this series, fingers crossed this is another great BR with Elizabeth!

Went to a book signing this weekend that was fantastic. Also got to meet my GR friend Lana last night, who’s amazing! First friend on here to meet IRL and it’s worth it if you get a chance to, thanks Lana 💗.

My wife 😍🫠

I can’t be mad that Summer said no. She doesn’t owe me anything. I’m the one pushing for this friendship. But just once, it would be nice if someone showed up for me.

🥺

This is really cute so far!

He’s so clearly (quietly) into her, how can she not see it? 😅

The other magical beings sprinkled throughout so far are fascinating. The newest additions raise more questions that aren’t immediately answered though 😂.

MZ’s non-contemporaries drag significantly more for me and I think it might be because she’s trying to build the mysteries in a way that lessens her usual impact character-wise.

I already have just numerous questions

I want a special puppy, who cares about the danger! 🤣🤷‍♀️

MZ buddy read tradition with Christina! We’ll see how far I can get through this beast of a book on my day off 🤣

I'm not a second chance lover at all and I don't love how the h's patterns of anxieties play out in her most important relationships. However, this book is so packed with emotions and I am invested!

Friends to lovers is not, like, groundbreaking, I know. But I’m having a lot of trouble imagining changing literally anything about my relationship with him. He’s seen me unkempt, unwashed, crying on sidewalks, shouting at strangers.

The transition can be tricky…👀

Not being able to share updates on your life with someone who’s gone is one of the hardest parts to navigate imo. Because that ache of wishing you could never goes away, it just pops up every now and then.

I get this is a messy family situation and there’s grief on top of that too but I’m 110% on Miles’s side and unhappy with his sister for her judgements and reactions 😒

What an awful word. Like a curse. Next time I want to say fuck you to somebody I’ll just shout out endure it instead.

Never thought about it that way but she has a point!

He turns my backpack strap right side out. I’m standing there watching him fix everything and tears are drop-drop-dropping off my nose.

The way this grumpy man who nobody else seems to get cares for her so easily 🥺
