Really good fluffy smutty Dramione. I totally knew the truth about Pansy's relationship from the beginning. The misunderstanding was funny and I'm glad it didn't go on for long. Draco teasing Hermione and then the books, I mean it's obvious he wants her. And then them finally getting together and falling in love. I would have liked a longer epilogue maybe another timeskip but it was still cute.

Wonderfully narrated audiobook! The premise intrigued me as well, as it took a rather “meta” approach into the judgements and biases surrounding the reading of romance novels, while being a romance novel about characters reading and discussing romance novels.

Not a bad book for something light and fun with a undercurrent of critical thought - reminding readers of the power and purpose behind all books.

This one was alright. Really well written sex scenes. Didn't care for Hermione "blushing" in every scene. Not the type of HG I like. To me she is tough and doesn't shy away from stuff like that. Making her a prude always turns me off of her character.

Pansy and Luna were a great addition but much was swept over. I get it though to keeping it short and quick. Story kept me interested the whole time so well done on writing this one GracefulLioness. Thank you for sharing with your story.

5⭐️ for sure. This was short and sweet and tied so many things I love up in a perfect package. I don’t always love a more insecure Hermione but I think her being less assertive fits here. And besotted Draco is a favorite version of mine. This was just an overall great read

This was super cute and very enjoyable. No Ron bashing, and an emotionally intact Draco 💕 It wasn't mind blowing or anything, but it was solis
