#WhatchaReading ? I finished A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel. Too much page time to horrible speeches from horrible people, but the ending is extremely satisfying and has one of the best declarations of love ever.
#WhatchaReading ? I listened to Codename Charming, which I liked a fair bit more than Battle Royal, although I don't think the audiobook did it a lot of favors. (It was good enough to keep listening to, but the MMC's voice wasn't great.) The hero is a Mountain, which I always love.
Also read Ten Things I Hate About the Duke, which I thought had some plotting issues, but Chase always does such great relationships and interactions.
#WhatchaReading? I #AmReading His Forgotten Bride by Aydra Richards, an amnesia story, yay!. My third by her and I'm really enjoying them; nice to be able to read historical romance again. She's kind of old fashioned but not Old Skool, if that makes sense.
#WhatchaReading ? I finally, finally #JustFinished Mortal Follies, a book much longer and twee-er than it needs to be, though the sticking point for me, unlike most critics, was not the omniscient narrator Puck but the absolutely unnecessary and unbearable Miss Bickle. Cut her completely out and you'd be left with quite an interesting story. I did enjoy the dark and brooding heroine.
#WhatchaReading ? I #JustFinishedReading Strange Love by Ann Aguirre and it was the cutest "alien abduction meets The Hunger Games" story ever. 😂 The alien MMC is an adorable cinnamon-roll-in-an-exoskeleton and the sex scenes are so genuinely weird yet somehow also sexy!
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I read a story over the weekend from around 2014 where the male lead was Border Patrol and the female leads brother was trying to illegally enter the country. Ant the end, male lead transfers to ICE cuz they only go after criminals and BP was stressing him out. It did NOT age well.
#WhatchaReading ? , Though only published in 2018, Lights and Sirens by Lisa Henry has sadly aged like milk, at least for this American. A cop throwing his weight around, even to protect his boyfriend, does not fly. There's an interesting arc for the other MMC, a paramedic who's mentally overloaded by too many horrific accidents, but it's all kind of brushed over in the end, and the romance also happens way too quickly.
@romancelandia I admit I started reading this book on a lark - "Look, there's even a *curling* romance!" - but like Max, I was totally taken by Callie (and in my non-pseudonymous life I may have had some professional overlap with Max). Spangler was not on my radar before but I will read more of their books now, for sure. #romanceBookClub
@romancelandia It's a story about passion and dedication, about earning respect and visibility, and rising to a challenge. It's a story about reaching for perfection and living with the impossibility of imperfection. It will ring true for anyone who follows one of those Olympic sports that only seems to exist every four years, and for anyone who stuck to what they love even when it seems silly to others - even when they have to explain it to others. #romanceBookClub
#WhatchaReading ? I was somewhat bogged down in Light Up the Lamp by Kit Irving but enjoyed it by the end. The main character is as thick as a brick, but he figures it all out eventually. 😁
Still listening to Mortal Follies but though the narration is very engaging I'm somehow not really engaged. Dunno if I'm up for another 5 hours of it.
@romancelandia @romancebooks @willaful I’m rereading Wallbanger by Alice Clayton. It’s been several years since I first read it, and I’m having fun #RomanceBookClub
#WhatchaReading ? I'm halfway through the audio of Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall and what seems to be the big climactic moment has happened. Is there going to be five hours just of people having sex now?
#WhatchaReading ? I'm a third of the way into Love & Other Disasters and am a bit disappointed that the assigned-sex-at-birth of the non-binary character has been revealed. I was curious, sure, but also thought it was kind of cool not to know.
It's not really my cuppa -- heavy on the accident/humiliation humor. Cute characters though.
#WhatchaReading ? I finished Small Miracles by Olivia Atwater, whose main character is a fallen guardian angel that switches genders at the drop of a hat and my book tagging system is now in complete disarray. 😂
The author mentions Good Omens inspiration but surely The Good Place was in the mix too? Fun, cute story, with some serious overtones.
#WhatchaReading ? I finished Happy Place and wound up really liking it. There's a lot about friendship as well as romance and the breakdown in the relationship(s) is well drawn.
These "two people who obviously still love each other" romances make me so sad though! I hate the flashbacks because I just want them to be reunited and happy again stat!
@willaful I'm a little more than halfway through Jessica Martin's "The Dane of My Existence" which might be worth it even if it weren't for the (intentionally) bad Shakespeare puns. It's all first-person from the FMC's perspective, and the first half was probably carried by her being the villain of the first book in this series (so we're building sympathy for her from negative) but now the author is taking on a big bet on that sympathy.

#WhatchaReading ? I started Happy Place and am wishing I'd read it in my own happy place, at camp, instead of during after vacation nothing-to-do-but-put-stuff-away blahs.
I'm not finding Wyn remotely attractive, which is making it difficult to read about every little twitch of his face. I hope that'll improve or I'll probably have to DNF.
#WhatchaReading ? I read Waylaid by Sarina Bowen, an author I generally like but who not infrequently makes me go WHUT big time.
I really liked Rickie whose cockiness goes hand-in-hand with a sort of effortless cool that made it work for me. He's pansexual but specifically heteroromantic, which I don't think I've seen in a romance before. And I really got how messed up and sick of himself he feels. Tell me about it, my dude.
