She’s given me a taste of what happiness might be like, and it’s fucking ruining me.

“ We’ll serve tea, while I explain strategies for increasing economic growth, and convince him of the imperative need for tariff reductions. I’ll finish with an analysis of what our military adventurism in Afghanistan and Africa has cost while our domestic infrastructure has fallen apart.”

Is Lisa putting a political message in her historical romance? 🤔 Sounds familiar

Non bookish post: why do scissors come in packages that require scissors to extract them from?

To anyone upset that Kleypas wrote a historical fiction and not a romance, fear not. THIS IS A ROMANCE. 🥰

I wonder if we will get a cameo from Sebastian in this one? Or Westcliff, Kleypas can’t resist a Westcliff cameo.

It had never made sense to June that women supposedly belonged in the kitchen, but only men were allowed to be restaurant chefs. - say it sister.

Is goodreads loading really slowly for anyone else? I think the hamster running the server died again.

She shout out to Winterborne’s 🤩

Why does he care so much if she wears make up or not? Seriously, men who concern themselves with women’s make up and look down on women for wearing it belong in the trash. Fuck all the way off.

I don’t even wear make up most days but if I knew this guy I’d get an account at Sephora istg.

It’s so great how he’s low key cruel to her and her dad and his girlfriend seem to think it’s adorable. “That’s just Jonah, gotta love him”. Honestly, here’s hoping his plane goes down on his next flight.

So Jonah is mad at her because her father abandoned her as a child? wtf is wrong with this man?

He’s such an asshole, am I supposed to root for them to get together? Because I’m hoping another MMC is going to show up and rescue her.

I don’t understand when characters just meet in a book and the hero is immediately an asshole to the heroine. He doesn’t even know her but he’s already established as an enemy, but why? He’s not an enemy, he’s just an unmannered jerk.

Take a shot everytime you read ‘ruggedly handsome’, wait don’t, you’ll be dead.

I’m trying to hold myself back from reading this too quickly. Gah!

This author doing her best to make ‘not like other boys’ a thing.

Props for the child free by choice representation , rare in romance.

I went from a 4 book deficit for my reading challenge to 1 book ahead of schedule. Is the 2025/26 slump over? Stay tuned.

I’ve been thinking she’s in Oregon this whole time until she mentioned Maine. Why are there two Portlands?

The premise of this novel is ridiculous , which is why I picked it.

Istg if she chases him down at this point I will rage.

Carley better not make the rest of this book only sex, she has done that to me before, but she also hasn’t done that to me. Here’s hoping she keeps some plot going.

Opening a coffee shop in Toronto is not a particularly brilliant business idea, there are literally ten on every block. Giving up owning a beautiful million dollar resort in the Muskokas for that is dumb.

Lisa could write the back of toilet paper packs and it would be good.

I don’t know about this one. She’s teasing several secrets at once here.

Did she rip these Rose characters off from schidt’s creek?

Here we gooooooo!

This woman inherited a luxury resort in the Muskokas? Cha Ching

Finally on track for my 2026 reading goal! Huzzah!

Is this a love triangle? Or is she just friends with her ex?
