HankReadsRomance is 42% done with Beg For Me (Morally Gray, #3)

Updating progress even though I haven’t picked up this book in months. Still don’t know if it’ll be a proper DNF as it wasn’t holding my interest

HankReadsRomance is starting The Temporary Wife (The Windsors, #2)

DNF 35% | spoiled little prick MMC giving everyone whiplash with his unhinged behavior. Lots of internalized misogyny as well. Not for me.

HankReadsRomance is starting Among the Willows (Thornbrush Ranch, #1)

DNF 36% it has been months since I picked this up so I’m calling it. I think the writing style wasn’t working and the FMC was an asshole? I don’t remember.

Among the Willows (Thornbrush Ranch, #1)

HankReadsRomance is 71% done with If It Makes You Happy

How am I only at 71%?! Had I known it was 500 pages I never would have picked it up. It’s Mariana Zapata level slow burn but all of their interactions and conversations are forgettable. Michelle is a drag. She only ever “says what she means” and yet she lies all the time.

HankReadsRomance is starting The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #6)

Just started reading this to my 5 year old tonight. Here’s a list of words he asked the meaning of in chapter one: grubby, blubbing, fishy, fool, drafty, rafters, explanation and humor.

HankReadsRomance is 36% done with Dukes Prefer Blondes (The Dressmakers, #4)

The MMC is such an exhausting nag. Every conversation consists of him lecturing her in a condescending way over semantics that literally don’t matter.

HankReadsRomance is 9% done with Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2)

This conflict contrived as hell so far. There’s a difference between keeping secrets from your partner and not being willing to share every confidential detail about your job and missions during WAR 🫠

HankReadsRomance is starting The Charlie Method (Campus Diaries, #3)

DNF | not sure I’ll come back to this. Not connecting with any of the characters. There’s a lack of depth—the FMC in particular is two-dimensional.

HankReadsRomance is 44% done with The Dark Highlander (Highlander, #5)

Almost half way through and I am struggggggling. I loved the first one but the plot of this one is boring af. They constantly be inner monologuing instead of actually communicating.

HankReadsRomance is 18% done with A Long Time Coming (Cane Brothers, #3)

I think Meghan Quinn’s writing style just isn’t for me. This will be my 3rd DNF by her. Why do her characters always feel comically unrealistic? I gave this one a real college try but I can’t slog through it anymore.
