How my brain sabotages my enjoyment is beyond my comprehension. I’m pretty sure I know what happens/happened 😭

I stood at the head of your bed when they opened your stomach to get the bullet and your damaged organs out. I gave you sponge baths while you were drugged. I changed your clothes, changed your bedsheets, and help the nurse change your catheter when it got plugged. There isn’t an inch of your body. I’m not already familiar with.

This is the type of man I dream of. And all this explaining so he can bathe her.

FMC: You never would have kissed me so much if you really planned to kill me!

MMC: tell that to my late ex-wife.

These twoooooo!!!! Even though is a bit unrealistic at times I have to admit them being able to simply state facts like adults without drama is definitely refreshing.

First words from the MMC to the FMC:

You don’t need to sell yourself, malyutka.

😂😂😂

The romance is killing me 😂

Nah, this chick is hilarious and so far I absolutely adorbs grumpy and sunshine trope.

So far the MMC has this terms as runner up as to whom the FMC is or what she appears:

Homeless
Malnourished
Slovenly
A refugee
Domestic worker
Maid
Ah. She’s a whore!

Because THAT would make more sense 😂

Oh Mylanta! I laughed so hard at that last one!

Soooo I decided to pick this book as my mental cleanser… and so far has made me laugh. Please God don’t let it disappoint me!!

So far…

FMC: I wonder if my sister will mind if I start calling her fiancé Daddy?

MMC: First thought when he spots her…Something about her appearance suggests she’s homeless 😂

So far… so bueno 🫶

You been feeling all right, Harris?” “I feel great.” Harris patted his chest. “Perfect working order.” Dad frowned at Harris’s chest, where they both knew the ugly lines of multiple surgery scars marred his skin, then sighed and engulfed his son in a tight hug. “Glad to hear it.”

Such a powerful scene. Some parents worried about their kids being gay and others just wanting theirs alive.

The sun shone on every inch of Shane: his skin, his hair, his freckles. He looked so achingly beautiful and happy. It was a shame that Ilya was going to ruin it. A shame, but there was no choice about it: Shane Hollander was standing on the edge of a dock, and now his back was turned to Ilya. Like an idiot.

Ilya and Shane remind me of…Just a bit Ruthless; which is one of my all time favorite books!

Is unfair when people think that because someone shares blood that automatically makes them family and as if their behavior is of no consequence just because of a blood bond.

So far NO ONE understands Maverick’s POV least of all Beau and that for me is selfish. They all see what they want, but not what he lost and how much he suffered and would have suffered more if it weren’t for the Marian’s.

Author should have included humans that not feared ravens in the beginning and not put everything black and white. Now is hard to grasp the change in a believable way.

“Didn’t see that coming, Malyr, did you? Guess that’s the toll of the princes and the titled stock: being oblivious to the fact that farmers don’t give a rat’s ass about the quarrels of the powerful, so long as they got food in their bellies.”

What in the name of goth Jesús! All the humans were doing a proverbial witch hunt with the ravens. And now suddenly all is neat and tidy?

This story started so very DARK. Humans executing ravens in the most cruelest of ways and ravens lashing out. If anything ravens were depicted as the ones suffering more. Now that the second book is winding down to an end. Suddenly everything is tidying up neatly with all of Malyr’s ways being sweetly justified and the rift between humans and ravens not so wide. All depicted in a very convenient way.

the urge to succumb to his skilled words and the need to protect my heart. I chose the latter. “Thank you, Malyr,” I said and stepped out of his embrace, bringing our dance to a stop before I struggled a swallow down my dry throat. “I think I should… should go back to my room now.”

You know when the sound of an LP coming to a screeching halt?! That is the sound I heard after reading this! You said what?

“. How he’d broken my heart, making me regain my tears. How he’d shoved me off that cliff, knowing full well I would find my tears. In a way, Malyr had taught me more than anyone else—for questionable reasons, yes, but the result had always been the same.

Please do not romanticize his assholeishness! The road to hell is made with good intentions.

I’m still deeply hurt on Galantia’s behalf.

It doesn’t help that Malyr does NOTHING to redeem himself.

He acts like… Yes, I’m a bastard! My past is what made me this way and since you are my mate you will submit to me either way. There is no vulnerability or any kind of remorse. And is sad because at this point the story feels like is dragging.

Anoaley!!

Don’t call her that! You selfish bastard!!

Your wings should be pinned to the ground by poisoned arrows!

Should you run into Lorn… well, keep running. She didn’t take the news about you two being fated too well.”


Of course it would be Sebian who brings my first smile 🥰

Seriously! Are you digging a deeper rift between you and Galantia!!

I guess groveling might never happen with these two!

Arggggg!!! Selfish dick!

How can the Queen still love a man willing to give the mate of his son away to a barbarian. After he killed her beloved friend Leda by sending her to be raped and bred by a ruthless monster. After taking all the women he could take on the side. Just to quote a few of his atrocities!

Arggg Women! 🙄

Messina is also stepping down as king, and will become Varic’s adviser if he can find the time.” “Find the time to advise Varic?” “Yes.” “What… I mean, what else does he plan on doing?” Her smile made her face glow. I could tell how truly happy she was. “He wants the two of us to travel the world together.”

The king should have been left to rot in Ophir for being a spineless selfish prick.

The roar of the beast lifted my eyes from my friend and I saw that Decimus had carved his way through the mass of people and was heading toward us.

Everyone is dying… Where is Varic’s wolf? And all his exemplary performance? Is like this fight negated ALL the praise that happened up until now.

I had forgotten how tedious the inner monologues of this author can be. Also how they can write the same character over and over again. Jason Thorpe is Miro Jones and both share with Jory the ability to always find themselves amidst chaos with a look that says… Who ME?

I give up on this.

She scowls. “You don’t have to go through this alone, you know. I bet you haven’t told him the reasons for your tattoos either?”

Bye bye mystery… although I knew it had to do with Jackson. I just wish she did not give away everything in one go and leave some for us to figure out.

And Zara… they JUST started talking after a decade of estrangement… chill! He was a dick… face the consequences.

This is just a small example of what I’ve seen steadily through all these books.

Pieces of eggshell go flying, sticking to the wall and the countertop, and the egg drips down the side of the bowl.

This author is well acquainted with hyperbole. Yet they have never been acquainted with “Less is more”.

Is not funny or adds any flair; it talks about immature writing.

a torn ACL ended my career,

I have read this at least 5 times since the book started and I am at the 11 percent mark.

I’m baffled that no one has told this author not to be so repetitive. Because they do it in every book. Do they have beta readers at least?

He has a heart of gold, if you ignore the fact he cheated on his ex-wife every time he was on the road. They tried couples counseling, but ultimately, they decided it was best to call it quits. Sometimes people are not made to be monogamous.

Oh please! She was a gold digger and cheated on him with his team mate. Don’t make me hate her and then try to saint her. I hate character surgery!

At this point I am just crying into the void. I AM the problem. I do this to myself. Why? Oh, why I cannot stop!

Anyways…

the author said the ex wife had taken a job in the UK. Yet, now this is what they said…

when she got her dream job at a broadcasting network in Manhattan,

I am not sure why timeline and factors change so much. Is as if the book is written and published without another look into it.

being six foot five and two hundred and sixty-five pounds.

Apparently in this book Caleb is shorter than Zach’s 6’6”. Yet in the last book he is described as huge, the tallest of them all; being taller than Zach.

The editing keeps on being abysmal.

“But will you promise me something?” “Yeah, of course. Anything.” “Keep an open mind. I think you’re going to find what you’re looking for, but you’ve been looking in the wrong places. Also, I think it’s going to look different from how you’re expecting it to look… So, just… keep an open mind. An open heart.”

Omg Woman! Can we be friends?! 🥹
