‘She realized he was rolling up the cuffs on his dress shirt. Mercy sakes, the forearms were coming out. She fell into that category of forearm-loving women—she couldn’t help herself. There was something so sexy about those strong muscles that were usually underrated.’ ….I hear that, girl. Gimme all the beauteous forearm candy. 😈

“Let’s do this, girls. We are about to bust onto this male-dominated scene in a bigger way than ever before.” 👈🏻 ….Yup. *calmly sets book down & leaves the room* …. *returns wearing safety gear & carrying a flame thrower* Stand clear, everyone. I GOT THIS HANDLED. 🔥🔥🔥

‘There was something even more intimate about this moment than all the sexual encounters they’d shared. Talking & diving deeper into each other’s lives only pulled them further over the relationship line, though she wasn’t about to bring up that uncomfortable topic.’ ….I can’t decide whether to yawn or barf.

This dude is a complete FAIL of hero. He’s a pussy, whiny, passive beta whose only claim to hero’ness is a good body & supersonic stud service. The guy may as well be a man-sized plastic doll whose blowup gizmo hooks into his peen. 😑 Is this the new age “alpha” I’m supposed to lust for, Harlequin?? Gimme a fuckin break.

I feel like Peter on Family Guy, when he went to see “The Even Couple” at the drive-in. THERE’S NO CONFLICT HERE. 😑 Two grown-ass adults, no prior commitments, no child or money problems, no abusive family, no miscommunications, no life-threatening events, no blackmail or villainy. There’s literally nothing keeping them apart except their fake Hallmark Channel hang-ups.

‘Damn it. He’d never been like this before. He never actually cared abt post-coital feelings or wanting to have a chat. What the hell had happened last night? When had he transitioned from fast, frantic sex to wanting to discuss it? He almost didn’t recognize himself.’ ….Open mouth, insert spoonfed cliché disguised as Characterization. Zzzz.

Why does this prose feel like it’s written at a 4th grade level?

Continuing my baseline research of recent non-historical Harlequins (results are wildly mixed), here’s a random Desire to compare with the HPs. I can’t lie; mostly I chose it due to the older (late 30s) Spanish hero—because yes, I’m that predictable. 😶 Also, every time I see the title I hear that twangy Black Keys song in my head. 🎶🎵🖤

Forearms are definitely sexy, but they must have just the right amount of hair! And they need to lead to long, elegant but masculine fingers that aren't stubby and shaped like fat sausages. Lol.

Oh yes, strong non-sausage hands into beautiful forearms is the best combo. :D I’m a big fan of the hand/forearm/bicep/shoulder progression; if a guy doesn’t have quality lines there, my attention moves on. 😈

One of my fav things is to see, in TV shows and movies, scenes where the guy is in his office after hours and his shirt is rolled up to the elbows and he's looking all "sexy-tired". LOL. Makes me think of Don Draper (Mad Men) and how delightful Jon Hamm looked in the few scenes where he is a bit scruffy and not his usual buttoned up self.
I love the dress-shirt-rolled-to-elbow look, esp paired with a waistcoat & tie. I’m generally more into casual clothes but the rolled sleeves & waistcoat looks good either way…dress it up or down. 👍🏻 Groomed stubble or close-cut beards are also The Thing. Mmm. One reason I love baseball is that line of gorgeous strong hands—>forearms—>shoulder. All pro players have them—it’s the nature of the sport. Tattooed or not, I’m ok with either—it’s a lovely array all around. Swooooon. 😬

And I looove the beard/stubble too; don't get me started on a well groomed goatee/beard that's not too well groomed so that it looks wimpy or hipster. There's nothing wimpier than a skinny hipster guy trying sooooo hard to look cool but effing it up by grooming every last, single facial hair too perfectly. The "too perfect" look is kinda wimpy. A little "rough" is sexier. LOL.
The modern Van Dyke beard style is a fav too, especially when Tom Hardy and Charlie Hunnam were wearing it.
Oh yes, there’s a huge difference between a nicely groomed beard & trying-too-hard hipster facial hair. Stubble & manly beards are super-sexy. ❤️ Skinny hipster doofuses with their douchebag goatees = nope. They’re next-level Tiger Beat fodder—you know I don’t usually like the babyface pop music look, but most of those poor bastards can’t help being babyfaces; it’s just their curse & they work it for the gig. These modernized hipsters, on the other hand…ew. They choose that look & it’s awful. :P

I swear to God on the lives of all my 4 dogs, that's the truth! And the article went on to give details about how he doesn't mind if he sleeps with the OM and that he's doing his part to atone for the wrongs that the patriarchy has done to women for hundreds of years. That's my summary of what he said but that's basically it and the guy looked exactly like a "skinny hipster doofus".
What a charming couple, lol. Yet another example of the push for superiority, not equality. So we’re supposed to condemn cheating, manwhore husbands but endorse cheating, skankwhore wives…? I don’t care about cheating in fiction, because *fiction,* but RL cheating is a basic red flag for dump-to-the-curb—regardless whether it’s the husband or the wife. Stupid hipster doofuses. 🙄
