When the FMC says “fuck it” right before the kiss: 🤯😱😍🥰😍🥰😍

I’m reading this in honor of my friend (he’s alive, it was recently his birthday and I just joke about how his ex girlfriends are so close lol), and I feel like he’d appreciate the cringe to an extent? So I haven’t DNF’d yet because he wouldn’t want me to, but idk we’ll see how we go when we get to the halfway mark lol 😬

Restarted on Christmas. I promise I’m so interested in this plot - I just have zero energy to sit down and open my kindle because I want to immersive read this and not just listen to it while I do busy work RIP. 😭😭 it will get finished in January, I promise!!

Probably going to be my first finished book of the new year. Flying through it and they have their moments where I’m rooting for them. Also Alexandria Bellefleur is so good at smut damn.

I’m a little unsure if I’m rooting for them, but I think I wanna read the other two in the trilogy and I don’t have a large window to read this so hopefully we can bang this out in the next two days. I’m with Darcy on all the astrology talk though tbh

Updating my 2025 ratings and reviews so apologies in advanced for the influx of updates!! ❤️

“Do you not know what they’ve done with a candy cane?”
“No,” I say on a laugh. “What did they do?”
He leans in close to my ear and whispers, “Sexual things.”
“Oof.” I clench my legs together. “Wouldn’t that burn?”

LITERALLY ME. I love Storee and Cole but I get a UTI every time I think of the candy cane scene oof. Also she hates chocolate oranges too she’s like me fr??

Finishing Finlay book 5 today so I can work through this again because having two comedic audiobooks at once is a little hard to juggle. But also why do the steamy scenes always start when I’m walking into my break room to clock in for work I stg lollll

The podcasters are literally the Guys in White from Danny Phantom. Irrelevant and yet always popping up now like bruh get rid of themmmmm. My new least favs of the series.

Respectfully, why can’t actual romance novels deliver childhood friends to lovers better than this comedic mystery series has?? I’m literally crying I love them sfm 🥹🥹

Not me loving Storee and Cole so much more than Max and Betty yet I’m still not interested in reading book 1 oops. 💀 Max is kinda getting better, but I feel like I’d still hate him if he wasn’t voiced by Teddy Hamilton idk. The banter between Max and the narrator is A+ though.

“We’re going to go in there like the badasses we are and demand they give us Javi back.”
“We’re not badasses. I’m a mom. You’re a nanny.”
“We just spent a week at the police academy.”
“That does not qualify us to negotiate with terrorists!”

This was much earlier on but I’m still screaming lmaoooo

Going on a cruise today for my birthday! 🎉🛳️🎉 I’ll be gone for a week so any book started in November finished by the end of the cruise will count for November and anything started on the 1st is all December. Should only be three books for November but these are my rules so lol

The Halloween chapter hits every time 🧡🎃👻💀🧡

Likely finishing this tonight but idk why this book gets all the hate - it’s a hard decision between this and book 2 for my favorite in the series so far.

The way I am not overly invested in any of Finlay’s romantic possibilities, but I’m so down bad for Javi and Vero. Their banter has me giggling so hard I want them together so badly 🥰🥰🥰

Totally don’t remember the September portion happening so quickly, but I’m so excited that this is getting me back into my reading routine 🧡🧡🧡

Need to beat this slump so here is my first reread of the month because I love Julie Olivia so much 🧡🧡🧡

Super sick 🤕 will try to ease myself back into reading soon. Might need to ease up on the birthday TBR a bit RIP

It finally happened - both names are misspelled, but there is a Steven and a Melissa coexisting in the same book that is part of Stephen and Melyssa’s Audiobook Adventures. 😦😦

Everybody, quiet! The Veronica Ruiz show is back on 💙

The hate I have for Sophia is so top tier y’all have no idea how much I wanna fight this stupid girl and her stupid husband lmao

These on and off 20-30 min chapters are going to be my 13th reason with this book. I’m not not invested, I just wanna stop talking in circles when we could’ve just cut down some of these chapters

She’s not the only one on my radar obvi since I trust no one, but as someone who also takes HBP meds, Sophia’s officially on my shit list.

I was honestly just planning on calling Billy “Chuckie Finster,” but it sounds like EVERYONE in this book has a cold since at least 3-4 people are SNIFFLING. Why is “sniff” being used as a dialogue term Holly what is happening lmao

The way I am dying for a thriller to have an Asian character that ISN’T at risk of being a suspect or vilified in any way 😭😭

The way I never want to read the words “seed” and “womb” ever again 💀💀💀

Chapter 17/18: “How to say something so cute during sexy times and then piss me off right after,” a demonstration by Zain, Prince of the Demon Realm. 💀💀💀

Not that this shocked me by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m still mad we talked about wombs and ropes TWICE in two chapters. 💀💀💀 he’s still cute sometimes though

Gonna do a reading challenge soon because the slump got me but I wanna read spooky things 😭😭😭
