i have some issues with the pacing slash progression of their physical relationship but other than that i guess i gotta concede the carley fortune hype too. bracing myself for impact now.

progress report: almost everything about this is chef‘s kiss - the slow burn, the emotional connection, the hotness factor!!! i will say i‘m not here for self-flagellation and dogs as a plot device but can definitely overlook that for the general fun factor of this.

goddddd but i‘m having fun with this!! perfect vacay read

i can‘t even tell you how many times this book has made me tear up already and with only the simple, wonderful power of community.

i‘m listening to this on 1.4x speed, these guys have already been hooking up for the past 3 hours and there are still 2 hours left in this book. i mean, it‘s still kinda fun but MAN these are way too long

who the hell does brandon francis think actually SOUNDS like that???

damn but i am enjoying this!

JACOB MORGAN has hands down the hottest voice like i don‘t even mind his girly voice, i‘d listen to him narrate this all by himself happily, he should narrate every romance novel in the worldddd

within the last few days i‘ve reread „the dare“ and i‘m now halfway through this and i gotta say, i always second guess myself when i catch myself doing this but! the thing is i didn‘t remember why i gave both of these a lukewarm three stars and it‘s obviously not dean or connor… but god these girls are not the greatest…

trust teddy hamilton, i‘ve listened to soooo many hours of his voice at this point and he honestly rarely ever gets it wrong

this might be the stupidest novel in this whole romance binge i‘ve read yet - this book is absolutely crawling with clichees and that‘s the least of it but hey. we move.

so far this is a pleasant surprise in terms of quality but also!! if someone‘s IRISES grow bigger ONE MORE TIME i might riot

listen i know i‘ve said this about 50 times now but PLEASE get an editor like i‘m clearly enjoying these books or i wouldn‘t still be reading but the amount of spelling errors/switching between tenses/incomplete sentences etc etc is flat out ridiculous

okay thank FUCK i dnf‘d the teddy/rhys book because i can barely take teddy in this one without wanting to smash things

there‘s already been like three completely inexplicable actions by these characters, also the term „cuddle snakes“ unprompted and one of the main characters leaving his house in purple crocs and shirtless. this is gonna take some SERIOUS mental acrobatics to get through

an editor!! please!! (dear god the spelling is making my inner teacher come out)
(story‘s still fucking fun what can i say)

seriously though, this guy needs a good editor because his tenses and commas are all over the place (she says, already heavily invested)

well fuck me but they‘re hot together

what the fuck is going on with the names in this book???

these narrators should be punished i‘m so serious like fucking please take my stupid horny hockey smut serious i‘m not in this for you being blasé about the fictional gay athletes

i hate that i‘m back to work again and can‘t spend too many hours out of my day with the hot cowboys

i‘m 11 chapters in and so far all i know is i shouldn‘t have gone the audiobook road - any depth this book might have is clearly getting lost in the narration

this is kind of driving me insane? like i didn‘t expect much of this but it‘s actually delivering in ways i wasn‘t expecting… god. (it‘s fucking past 3am on my last night of spring break, kill me)

wow this is like way too dark and sick for my taste, i‘m just in it for the morbid curiosity at this point but i‘ll revisit that decision tomorrow

tracked my reading speed tonight because recent events (being fully anti-social and spending my entire spring break reading) have made me wonder and i honestly would‘ve thought i read faster than this. do all the booktokers with 100+ read books a year actually understand anything of what they‘re reading??

i swear i‘m normal and the speed at which i‘m consuming gay romance novels doesn‘t inform on my mental state at all
(also how is it past midnight again and we‘re JUST getting to the good part 🥲)

„And if Adam fell a few strides behind just so he could admire Riley‘s ass in his tight jogging pants, well. Everyone had their own fitness journey.“
actually incredible literature, what can i say.
