@willaful I just started a Buddy read of Bride by Ali Hazelwood, seems like enemies-to-lovers which I love but maybe fated mates, which can be meh if it leans too far into insta.
Finished up The Story Collector by Evie Woods (will write review for!) and thought it had loads of charm

Anyone managing to read? If so, #WhatchaReading ? After many a yawning DNF, I was so relieved to be engaged by New Adult romance A Guy Like Him by Amanda Gambill. (On KU.) Could've used some editing, in c/[email protected]

@willaful I'm reading Bedded by the Warrior by Denise Lynn and starting The Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey tomorrow.
BBTW starting the forced marriage early (10%) which is nice, get that trope rolling but the MMC has me leery, he's peak 2009 right now

Read an old Harlequin, Only You, in which the office girls all sneer because the hunky hero's secretary must be 50 and "what a waste!" in c/[email protected]

#WhatchaReading ? I started Early Morning Riser... I'm not sure it's romance? But I really like the voice and I'm pretty sure a romance reader rec'd it so am hoping for the best. in c/[email protected]

@willaful I've been curious about the new Atwater!
I just started Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen. It seems to be fated mates, so I'm hoping they still have to emotionally work for it.

#WhatchaReading ? I read A Mother for Christmas, a kindle freebie. A bit mawkish, but I can't say I wasn't warned by the title. The prose was quirky and had some personality to it. Could have used in c/[email protected]

@willaful I'm reading Will They or Won't They by Ava Wilder.
Kind of a slow start for me but it's a for real Adult Contemporary Romance Genre story and I'm riding high on just that fact. Too many women's fiction masquerading got me this year.
