This book is pissing me off so bad

Loving almost everything about the Heated Rivalry show, but can I just shout out the musical choices? So fucking good.

Waited with bated breath all week for ep 3 and then they give me Scott Hunter and Kip?? I feel cheated.

"Ellis' face flashes through a series of emotive colors. Ghostly white, pink, red, purple, and then blue as he holds his breath."

I'm enjoying this book so far, but come on, Rebecca. He's not a fucking octopus.

I'm sure someone has commented on this before, but I've been scrolling through upcoming releases, and the number of hockey MMs with 'puck' as a pun in the title is frankly alarming.

This should be called the Red Flag trilogy because wtf did I just read??

Friends of GR, hit me with your best reads of 2024. I need some inspiration for the new year, rather than just staring listlessly at the same TBR I've had for years.

Goblin as a term of endearment is now going to be my entire personality.

You know when you start a book and you’re like 10 pages in and you already don’t want it to end? That’s where I’m at rn.

I’m not a big rereader, but just had this intense urge to be with these two again.

What kind of psychopath do you have to be to be chill with your dad dating your bff? God, I’d be sick to my stomach.

‘Jack had already been destroyed by a loss once. Instead of letting anyone else pick up the pieces, he’d take them away on his own and let them heal at strange angles.’ 😳😳 That hit me right in the chest. What a devastating piece of writing.

I really don't enjoy when the mechanics of kink are explained in fiction. Feels pretty patronising.

Who drinks neat gin?? That is sociopathic.

“He is going to hurt you.”
“Then I will be hurt.”

That was like an arrow through the fucking heart. This book is killing me.

‘He’s the bull and the china shop’. What a line.

I'm sure my life will be a lot more peaceful when I accept that my TBR list will never be empty and trying to achieve this is a fool's game.

How long is a reasonable time to wait for a new book in a series to be published before giving up on it ever seeing the light of day?

I'm sure this has been said before, but don't you wish GR had a "never recommend this book to me again" feature.

I both love and hate the ‘I don’t kiss’ trope. I hate it because it’s dumb and pointless, but then when they do kiss, it’s usually unreal. It better be worth it.

The main character of this book is REALLY not having a good time. I need my man to catch a break because this is actually unbearable.

Let's normalize summaries of previous books at the start of the next one in a series. Girl, if your last book in this series came out more than a year ago, you're gonna have to assume I have no idea what is going on.

This is why I hate fated mates. This man is having a real moment, like genuinely grappling with his trauma and the worst parts of himself and the mate is like ‘no, I love you because you are my mate so you must be perfect, shut up.’ There’s no fucking nuance.

“I can’t believe how much I cry since I got gay.”
I’ve been mostly bored with this book, but this line has me cackling.

I have literally just started reading this book, but I have never been so anxious in my life. Holy fuck, these poor guys.

I know this is supposed to be an emotionally fraught moment but I am literally LOLing at Ed Sheeran making a cameo here.
