Am I supposed to root for this “romance” subplot? Literally who cares….Tell me about the wolf cub instead!

“Every moment of our journey to Bristol is as deeply incised in my brain as the Greek and Egyptian inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone, and bound to endure as long. If someone, centuries hence, happens to dig up my corpse and anatomize my brain, he will find, etched there in unmistakable characters: Olivia. Suddenly. Unexpectedly.”

Unwell about them!

Rereading

Joan Wolf really said “he’s underfucked, and it’s giving him migraines.”

“‘I thought maybe you could introduce me to Rob Sutter.’

‘The Hammer?’ Jane shook her head and took a drink of her gin and tonic. “His nose is always broken and he always has a black eye.’

Caroline smiled and got a little dreamy-eyed. ‘I know.’”

She gets it.

Literally laughing out loud at Sam’s account of smuggling Daniel out of the scouting before the draft.

I’m finally doing it. Can’t remember the last time I read one book that was over 1,000 pages.

In a slump. Doing a reread. Save me, Sherry Thomas.

Starting this even though I know it’s going to hurt. 🥲

The number of times Rachel has been startled and dropped something on the floor…it’s enough slices.

Need to know if Williamson ever read Tom & Sharon Curtis’ “Sunshine and Shadow.” I’m thinking yes.

“Let me kill him for you, Rachel.” I know Rachel doesn’t approve but, swoon.

I love a book that starts with a man swooning.

Arthur is kinda giving me Richard Campbell Gansey III vibes.

Need more people to talk about how funny and unique London’s writing is.

A viscount named Vincent. Why would you do this?

Finally getting to this one. You know how you read a series: 2, 3, 4, then 1.

When nothing sounds good or holds my attention, there’s always Mary Balogh. 🫡 Reread.

Something traumatic is coming and I don’t want to read it. I want to stay right here. 😔

I don’t care about Trev! Give me Sasha! The slow burn is killing me.

Lisa Kleypas definitely read this one.

Balogh loves a dramatic reading of the will with all family gathered.

You want me to believe this outlaw says “fricking” ?

need more “heroines punching their heroes in the nose” instead of “heroines shooting their heroes.” more comedic and less life threatening

This was going well but now they’re being all spiteful to each other? Feels weird and abrupt.

noooooo don’t turn into a stressful action/crime plot your so sexy aha 😔

“How clever of me to marry a man with a brain”

this book is like. uncomfortably fully of insults about how “brainless” the hero and his friends are. this reversal of all previous sentiments is just weird and annoys me even more

save me from unqualified heroines who prioritize their need to be involved in problem solving over efficiency, propriety, and reason. girl boss!

so many vague references to 2 characters from book 2 in this series who are not actually present (yet? i guess). please, i do not remember a book from 2020 at all

help me i’m so bored and i don’t care about either of these protags ☹️
