Status Updates From Possess Me Slowly (Shattere...

ahhh we love that secret pregnancy trope. i saw this coming a mile away literally as soon as I found out about that clause in the contract I was like this is gonna happen.

The perfect accompaniment to getting my nails done. I love the fake marriage and forced proximity trope

Chapter one was so long. But so much good stuff has been set up. I can’t believe I didn’t read the blurb so I didn’t realise just who Preston was but I kind of like it because I feel like it hit me like it’s gonna hit Megan soon…

Rest my lovely book...

Let's say I needed two years to come back to this book. At first, the plot didn't even call me, but now? Nothing much has changed, LOL.
It unnerved me having two books in my reading-list that I actually haven't read in a while and had left them in the shadows. But to my surprise, what picked me now to continue reading this was the magical engagement ring. I cannot believe I got the same one last year, silly huh?

I SO DID SHE THAT ENDING COMING.

Not impressed.

“I know better than to trust someone completely, especially with something important, something that could weaken you."

Which is why he hired a woman he'd met once and knew close to nothing about to marry him for business reasons.

#romancelogic

"You said this agreement was built on trust. When were you going to tell me about Darlene Mc-huge-boobs in there?”

Okay, maybe she should take a look at how misogynistic she is herself before passing judgement on others.

“What kind of woman forgets a half-a-million dollar diamond ring?”

One who obviously wanted one worth a million dollar. /sarcasm

I had only just met John but he didn’t come across like a misogynistic prick.

I'd say take a look at your fake boyfriend before passing judgement.

And the woman who has some sort of history with the "hero" - what exactly is not yet revealed - is dressed so that "little is left to imagination" and she's full of botox.

WHY DO AUTHORS CONTINUE TO DO THIS SHITTY TYPE OF THING? Why can't we have a perfectly normal woman? Just once? Is that too much to ask for?

And for fuck's sake, does this man do anything beside growl?

“It’s an ear infection. I use to get them before finals a lot.”

Let me guess; antibiotics and - since the "hero" doesn't want them as stated in this whole agreement - surprise baby?

“I'm sorry, it’s just that most women wouldn’t want to work if they didn't have to."

What the fuck is he basing this on?

So he's asking her, a woman he spent the night with and don't know first thing about, to marry him for business reasons.

Why not, you know, ask a woman you know and trust? Logic has once again lost to romance logic.

This is well written so far but I'm not sensing a good plot. And there's slutshaming. And I'm undecided on the hero so far; he comes off like a douche.

After my longtime boyfriend Brian cheated on me with my best friend’s aunt, who had fake boobs and very real money, I thought I had hit a low point.

Because her fake boobs are a vital part of this story?
