I really appreciated how Anna Huang advertised King of Wrath. She called it “dislike to love” which is such an important distinction I wish more authors would make. Not everything that isn’t insta-love is “enemies to lovers”!!!!
I personally wouldn't even say that everything which is true 'hate-to-love' is necessarily actually all-out ' "enemies"-to-lovers ' either really-but maybe that's just me, getting weirdly/ excessively/ specific in my distinctions there, or something(?).🤔😅 🤷♀️ 😁 Lol 🤣
Just finished Heartless, it was really really good, I loved the interaction between Willa and Luke so adorable. The banter was also making me laugh hard. Thank you.
Thank you for your thoughts on the type of partner you want when you were explaining why you enjoyed the ending of Heartless. You stated it so matter-of-factly and eloquently and I resonated with it HARD.
I also really really loved Elsie Silver’s and Kandi Steiner’s books. Elsie and Kandi writing 5 star books that release within the same week of each other 3 books in a row? Elite. The way they write such immaculate stories that make me swoon, cry, scream, and root for the characters?? Even though I don’t usually like that ending trope, Elsie made me rethink it. 55555/5 freaking stars✨ Listening to you gush is making me want to buy it (read on KU, undecided if I want regular or special cover) and reread it. I can’t remember if you like hockey romances but if you do, Kandi has been thinking about writing some. She’s posted on her stories about it a few times and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be written.
I also gave King of Wrath 4 stars and agree with all of your points. I am really excited to see where Ana Huang‘s books will go from here - I feel like her writing style really is becoming more sophisticated and is on an upwards trajectory. I have a feeling I might really love the next book in the series. After not super enjoying the Twisted series, I‘m positively surprised by this first installment in this new series.
Off topic but i NEED your opinion on icebreaker by hannah grace. It has good mental health rep (therapy is normalized), the two leads actually communicate about their feelings, and its a reverse grumpy sunshine that doesn't feel cliché in a bad way. also the spice is
OOOH YES i wanna hear her thoughts on this too!! i loved it so much, genuinely one of my all time favorites. a few people don't like it tho, they say there were too many characters & it's a little unnecessary & that the fact that there's absolutely no plot makes the pacing of the book kinda messy. but i think that's bcz it's a more character driven book & i loved that aspect of it & the too many characters thing was also one of my fav aspects, bcz it set up rlly well for the rest of the series & there was found family 🫶🏻
I really wanted to like it (hockey romances are fav) but it felt so extremely. Mediocre to me 😭 also I think a big part for me personally as some one who has struggled with disorder eating it was borderline triggering if I wasn’t in such a good place mentally it would’ve been an issue so that could also be affecting my opinion
Haha, the moment you mentioned that "some people won't like the ending because of something that happens," it made me guess what it is. I just looked it up on GR, and yep, I guessed right. 😂 So happy you had two 5-stars! 🤩
Totally agree about your thoughts and rating on King of Wrath! ❤ Excited to get to both Heartless and Quarterback Sneak, way too many new indie releases in Oct so they had to carry over 😅
I always feel so happy for you when you find your five-star reads-congrats!!! I think, maybe, your enthusiasm is wonderfully infectious[; Also, you really deserve all the little joys].🤭 💖
Ugh I love these type of videos ❤️ also I’m really struggling with the first book by Elsie Silver, it’s so bland and boring but I want to finish it before I start Heartless. I really hope I will enjoy it as much as you did 🙏
Usually the main character names just kind of fly over my head, but like. Okay, so I work at a doggy daycare, right? Every time you said Willa I just pictured the playful 2 year old black lab we have doing her head tilt waiting for me to throw the ball and my brain could just not accept Willa as a human name 🙃🐶
Have you tried Cora Reilly? Her mafia romances are some of my favorite Kindle Unlimited books. Twisted Emotions by her is my absolute favorite, though it is the 2nd book in a spin off series.
@@chandlerainsley I see! I’m looking for something similar to Ali hazewood books, more towards smart people dating each other. Do you have any recommendation ?
12:16 - I feel _THIS_ !!! (not about this specific story, I haven't read it😅; just, in general, thhoo😁) That is *exactly* what I *_always_* find myself, personally wanting to see a bit more of in fiction-not even just in romantic relationships!!!! 🤍

Can never go wrong with Kandi Steiner. Heartless…amazing!
So happy you’ve been having good luck with books!!!
loving all your recent videos! 💘💘
thanks so much!!
I’m obsessed with Heartless too. It was so good.
Thank you for your thoughts on the type of partner you want when you were explaining why you enjoyed the ending of Heartless. You stated it so matter-of-factly and eloquently and I resonated with it HARD.
Heartless is the best new release I have read all year hands down. I loved it!

Oh my gosh, so many high ratings!!! How exciting!!! I’m definitely adding all three to my tbr ❤

I’ve been waiting on this too… I can’t imagine anyone not liking this book! Amazing KU debut

I loved heartless - Willa is a badass ❤

the way my heart stopped when you dropped your phone 😂
I love Elsie Silver and Kandi Steiner so much!!!
Immediately adding Heartless by Elsie Silver to my TBR, that sounds right up my alley
I love fun romances. Going to add these to my list for sure.
Great vlog 🧡

can’t wait to read heartless and qb sneak in november
Ooo yes I love Casetify!!

The way I am RUNNNNNNING to get Heartless

You know, I do not begrudge you wearing gray sweaters, at all; Gray is the most underrated[ly awesome] color, in my opinion! 😊
Elsie Silver is one of my new favorite authors. She's fantastic!
I came here for romance recs, and I'm leaving wishing to hear your opinions on the fantasy books you mentioned. 🤷♀️
that video is live :) i read 5: longest books on my tbr
@@chandlerainsley Seriously?! How did I miss that?
Heading over right now.
KU is my fav ! ❤
Is "Heartless" standalone? Or I've to read first book to read this?
can be read as a standalone!
Have you tried Cora Reilly? Her mafia romances are some of my favorite Kindle Unlimited books. Twisted Emotions by her is my absolute favorite, though it is the 2nd book in a spin off series.
just bought a new case with your code!!!! :)))
yay! i hope you love it
i loved the video but can i ask what lipstick you're wearing at 15:00 when you were in your car? so pretty!!
thanks so much! it's Trust Your Gut from Maybelline :)
@@chandlerainsley thank you❤️
Currently reading Heartless. And can I just say that that cover model is perfect for me. He's fiiiiinnneeee. Ahahahaha. Me being a thirsty bitch.
do you have any recommendations on the free books from KOBO?
i don't personally use KOBO
@@chandlerainsley I see! I’m looking for something similar to Ali hazewood books, more towards smart people dating each other. Do you have any recommendation ?
@@mariaklein9442 give 'the soulmate equation' by christina lauren a try if you haven't already :)
@@marcelaljavo6016 will do, thank you ;)
