I #read Finding A Purple Unicorn by Sean Michael (#book 3/Starting Over). This MM single dads #romance is by far my favorite of 2024 so far. It was fun & #reading it went by fast. TW for custody argument, ex drama, & a neglectful parent (not a main character). Also some bdsm/spanking references. No need to read the first 2 #books. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 #romancelandia @romancebooks

I #read A Masquerade With a Marquess (#book 8/Lords of Temptation). The blurb is a little off - the MMC does marry the FMC knowing she's blind, but also for all the wrong reasons. TW for jealousy and paternal abuse. I may follow up with more from the series, not sure yet. #regency #romance #romancelandia #reading @romancebooks
I re-#read as #audiobook Four In Hand by Stephanie Laurens. This #regency #romance has very little sex in it & a lot of flirting. It follows 4 sisters in one shorter #book - it was one of her earliest #books. I like this type of writing but I know it's out of date. #romancelandia #romancebooks #reading @romancebooks

I #read Twins for the Wild Orc by Michele Mills (Sweet Monster Treats). If Mills wrote it, I'm probably going to ❤️ it, & I did (even orcs). Besides the title trope of unplanned babies, the #book is a reunion #romance meant for #reading at Halloween. Short & charming. #books #romancelandia #romancebooks @romancebooks

I #read via #audiobook Love and Other Wild Things by Molly Harper (#book 2/Mystic extra. Bayou). Bear shifter Zed falls in love (first) with a commitment-phobic energy witch. This #romance is in the Audible Premium Plus catalog, so I didn't pay extra. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #romance #reading #books #romancelandia @romancebooks

I #read Seeing Blind by Poppy Dale. This M/M 🏳️🌈 #romance from 2021 has one MC with a severe case of prosopagnosia (face blindness). It's charming. TW for homophonic parent, secrets, dating apps, & online relationships. #book #books #reading #romancelandia @romancebooks

I #read Gnome Sweet Gnome by Elva Birch (#book 2/Lawn Ornament Shifters) today because rn it’s #free (not sure how long that will last), and because the cover & title made me laugh. This shorter-length Christmas story takes rom-com almost to absurd #romance. Get ready for a jewel thief owl shifter to meet her mate as a Norwegian gnome factory owner. #reading #books #romancelandia @romancebooks

I #read Claimed by the Barbarian Warlords by Charmaine Ross (#book 1/Stolen Planet). I think it’s great when FMCs assert & fight for their own agency, but the burden of assholery behavior that provokes the fight for independence often rests on the MMC(s) in that plot line. This is the case for this story. I wanted to kick the alien warlords for being dumbasses for 75% of the book. #reading #books #romance #romancelandia #romancebooks @romancebooks

I #read Snowed In With A Dragon by Sara Ivy Hill. This Christmas #book of a sweet stalkerish dragon who waits for his girl until her boyfriend cheats on her is a little red-flaggy if you want your #romance to be perfectly socially acceptable. Hill does honor consent. #reading #books #romancelandia #romancebooks @romancebooks
@ALostInquirer not yet. Since it’s a one day sale, I only went through the list and added them to my library today - haven’t read them yet. But, as a generalization, I have loved other books by Sara Ivy Hill and Elin Wyn, and I’m likely to read their books in this list first.
If you read sci fi #romance, today’s your day. 30 free #books (electronic) on Dec 7:
I’ve #read as an #audiobook Lucifer by DB Reynolds (#book 11/Vampires In America).
Said this before & will say it again, one of my favorite series & one of my favorite #books in the series. But start at the beginning, or at least with Jabril. #romance #reading #romancelandia @romancebooks

I #read Trouble For My Troll by Honey Phillips last night as a bedtime #book. This standalone #romance from the Fairhaven Falls world is a small-town monster #romance about a troll who isn’t very troll-like tbh. But I liked it. #reading #books #romancebooks #romancelandia @romancebooks
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m actually something interesting that is shadow-banned on the big Amaz and I’m so looking forward to sharing about it!
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m still reading Executive Orders by Tom Clancy - the audiobook is a monster 56 hrs long. And a book I’m not sure how to describe yet - One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. The blurb is a bit inadequate for this one, and I’m only 30% in.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks
Executive Orders by Tom Clancy, which is also very uncomfortable in the current world, for different reasons than the Henry book!
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks
Vanderbilt by Anderson Cooper (biography sort of)
and
Silent Vows by Jill Ramsower (romance)
@Mr_Blott both are worse, lol! But I laughed and I rarely do that when I read, so I’m just going to say it was better than I expected.
