Uhhhhhh, this is pretty steamy to be listening to at work... maybe this is more a read at home book...

This writers books are so cozy, like it's always demons that snuggle and tell the mc how special they are and love pancakes and Sunday afternoon tv. Or like evil sorcerers that aren't evil and adopt stray cats. They're just happy books. I think I've only read about 20% of this writers books though, so maybe not all of them are happy feel good books, but the ones I read have been.

Wait, all these girls have no father and a younger sister? That's a bit formulaic...

OMG, I should have seen all this coming. Its so obvious now.

This book is so lushly descriptive.

Lisa has the dumb. Lisa has way more than her fair share of the dumb. Lisa, why are you so dumb?

This is such a cozy book to me. It's got some really steamy sections, but considering my preference for chaos and horror and mayhem
In my books, a story where they go Christmas shopping and make thanksgiving dinner is just such a change of pace. I had some trouble getting started on this book, but I'm really enjoying it now. It's much like a "Day in the life" kind of story.

Dude, call the FBI, Lisa. You've got an inside dude, stop being a moron!

This is actually a really fresh take on a cultivation / dungeon building book.

I feel like there are some easy obvious solutions to these problems... like going to a different jurisdiction for help.

I feel like I would not get along with Lisa. Also, part of me wonders if this kid is even real or if she's had some kind of psychotic break...

Lisa is an interesting character. I always find it kind of delightful to read about more mature characters, one closer to my own age, who aren't settled with family and spouse. Usually once you reach a certain age as a book female character, you're only interesting as a character who is single to a certain age and then you're only interesting as someone's mom.

Oh god, not the over-romanticization of changing your name to match your partner. This book is oozing with happiness in the first 10%, if you're into that kind of thing. Ew, happiness, gross! Lol, just ignore me.

I'm mostly reading this to finish out the series. The first 3 books were really good and spent a lot of time exploring Tate's journey coming to terms with himself, but I often find the final "happily ever after marriage edition" ending of a series to be a bit dull so take my meh with a grain of salt.

I don't understand why Zaina is pointlessly hostile for no reason. Her husband has literally done nothing to her.

Oh man, this book reminds me a lot of the first ACOTAR book but steamier.

OMG, the euphemisms that romance, authors use for human anatomy, is often way more cringe than just saying the words of the parts that they referencing. The word womb does not belong in a sex scene.

So I had heard on reviews online that this book was very spicy. One reviewer said that the second half of the book was basically just one extended sex scene. I thought to myself, I've read literally all of Lily's books and they are spicy but they're not like that. I stand corrected. Easily the last 25% that I've read has literally been nothing but sex scenes.

I'm not sure that any of what I just read is anatomically possible.

Okay so I think this book might just be smut...

The book is good, I've just been personally struggling to stick with reading it because it takes a lot more concentration than a lot of the
Easy reads I favor

This one's kind of weird even for Lily Mayne. It is pretty funny though. I think I like her darker books better than her more recent light books, but I really enjoy her writing style.

Was really enjoying it but then I got distracted

Fine, nothing special so far
