is it even a professor x student romance without the obligatory campus cafe scene where the mmc buys the fmc a $2 coffee with all the pride and satisfaction of a man who's just paid off her mortgage in full

this fmc is 28 going on 87 😭 she keeps painting herself as a fossil compared to the 23-year-old 'whippersnappers' around her on campus...don't pmo

I have a hankering for ghoulish spirits so exorcizing faeries will be my cardio for the week 📖🕯️🥀

and since irish brogue is my love language, an immersive read was always going to be the only option for me

don't turn soft on me now lydia 😭 we're not even a quarter of the way through and she's already starting to feel guilty about her schemes and backpedal

she's rage baiting this man to the brink of psychosis in front of the ton while he fights for his life to keep his composure 😇 oh it's gonna be DELICIOUS when he finally snaps

on a mission to infuse more mischief into my life, and scheming my way out of an unwanted marriage to an entitled lord sounds like the perfect inspiration 😈

I need the contact details for keris' perfumer so I can get my mitts on this irresistible spicy scent zarrah constantly speaks of

when a fire breaks out and his first concern is his library 🙂‍↕️
(after everyone's been evacuated ofc)

okay keris, you're kinda slick with it 😌

starting this with the energy of a child choking down their veggies at dinner so they can have dessert later 😭

the prospect of rehashing a plot I've already read about from a different pov doesn't exactly thrill me, but I'm determined to make it to book 5 for ahnna's story

keeping hope alive that this pleasantly surprises me nonetheless 🤞🧡

he sent her horse a bouquet of flowers, grains, and carrots to feast on, with a little love note addressed to the horse as a token of affection...
oh my heart 😭😭😭

what is it about a dancing scene that instantly sends my stomach into a fit of flutters? the intimacy and vulnerability and slight awkwardness of it all 😮‍💨 if you see something strange overhead it's just my entire gastrointestinal tract taking flight.

no sliver of skin is safe from being sensualized when it comes to historical romances 😭
the curvature of his earlobe? devilishly delicious.
the slope of her spinal cord? he'd bankrupt himself just to sled down it for a night.

so ready to race horses, launch a betting ring, defy the patriarchy, and dally with dukes 😝

I feel like I'm about to give birth to Simone Biles with the way my stomach is doing backflips 😭 the electrifying tension between Conor and Maya just might end me 😮‍💨

I'm infatuated with Conor. I'd also quite like to disembowel him.

"I bet you burned ants with magnifying lenses when you were a toddler, back during the Protestant Reformation.” 😭
ladies, let this be our daily inspo to humble that man and remind him of the fossil he is 😌🦖
all in good humor, of course 🤭

just when I thought me and ali hazelwood had agreed to go our separate ways, two beautiful bookish angels (hayley and gabriela) recommended I try this out, and who am I to deny myself a problematic summer romance under the gleaming Sicilian sun?! ☀️🩷 thank you babes!

charlotte smiled sweetly. "at the moment, what I value most in a man is silence."
in other words, KINDLY STFU 🤣😭

wrangling London's most eligible bachelors into a summer-long house party to vie for your betrothal like horses at auction—with ample test riding before choosing the best in breed—is my kind of ingenuity 😌🐎💖

you had me at a regency-era take on the bachelorette 💐

nothing sounds more delightful right now than the promise of a summer romp brimming with juicy scandals and dashing suitors

his dad's idol was....TED BUNDY?! 😭
I get the sense this is going to be one heck of a ride 🤣

I'm so glad Vera Stein is fine because I'm not 🫠 I'm a puddle of tears 😭

when you mention a hankering for fries and his immediate response is "I will buy you every fry in this fucking city." 🍟🙂‍↕️ that's a good man savannah

"why be a dreamer when you can be a doer?" this book is lighting a massive fire under my ass to seize the moment and stop waiting for life to happen to me in the most painfully loving way 😅

just as I thought I was warming up to Eli, he disrespects her cucumber melon body mist?? you're on thin ice Eli

"in the end, we're all sluts and then we die." preach sister 🤣

"Miss you more than I missed Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza when they took it off the menu that one time." I'm too easy atp 😭

next stop: palm springs 🛬👙🌴🍹
poolside libations with a cast of charmingly eccentric retirees? sounds like my kind of medicine 🙂‍↕️

Adam Carlsen has to be the first skyscraper to ever hold a PhD. He's so vertically endowed I fear Olive might suffer a slipped disc every time she cranes her neck to meet his eyes. She can barely hear him because his voice has to travel several atmospheric layers to reach her. Because, well, he's so tall. WE GET IT 😭✋ someone call a nurse bc I may be concussed from all the times it's been beaten over my head
