    I loved Credence when it released because it was the first sharing romance that I read and one of the first indie romances I read but looking back it’s not my favourite Penelope Douglas book.

    • @taylorgayhart9497
      @taylorgayhart9497 Рік тому +1

      I think that’s why people liked it so much, it was the first “why choice” style book that kinda got mainstream, so the taboo-ness was the fun part. But now we have better options.

    I can't handle when a woman (or man) says "stop" or "no" but their inner monolog is all "ok i like this" but they still express OUT LOUD to stop. (Looking at you From Blood and Ash) It doesnt make it ok. In my own opinion its a complete cop out to condone toxic male behavior.

    • @jessicar2609
      @jessicar2609 Рік тому +4

      Agreed. I'm reading an Elizabeth O'Roarke book right now, and the FMC tells the MMC to stop multiple times because she was mad at him, and he just doesn't. It's in her POV so we ultimately know that she's into it, but how am I supposed to like this couple when the MMC completely disregards her words.

    • @chelsikay13

    can I JUST SAY how much I APPRECIATE Hayden's pushback against consent/age/problematic tropes and themes? I think I am having more problems/less tolerance for grey area/taboo/IRL problematic content myself as I get older tbh. I think it goes in phases, but I don't find stuff like this as escapist as I used to.
    ALSO I didn't see the poll, but I do hope we can give Hayden a really S tier example of the genre that shows diversity, consent, communication and healthy conflict resolution because I personally think that Romance as a genre is really doing all of those things the best right now.

    Recommendation for July's DBBC: Red White Royal Blue - not the best book objectively but it's a fun, if extremely idealistic romcom so I don't think you'd be bored with it, would be good for the algorithm too since the film will come out in early August.
    Or Yellowface, which could be a first time read for both of you?

    I’ve only been reading romance since like 2020 and I read this book fairly early on in my reading journey and there were things I really liked about it. I was way more into the taboo thing than I am now and I liked the setting of the book but there were a lot of issues for sure. That initial scene with Kaleb was super upsetting when I read it and looking back on it I do not feel different. I also really didn’t like the other iffy scene with him later on. I was really unhappy with who she ended up with also. I think if I were to reread it at this point I’d rate it a lot lower than I did initially. I still love Penelope Douglas but now that I know what I like more, I definitely wouldn’t read this now.

    I read romance solely for escapism. I heavily dislike contemporary romance as I have learned more about my tastes b/ they are too "realistic" n boring. Tessa B does have excellent chemistry, sex scenes n dirty talk to break that but in general I much much prefer fantasy romance or dark romance or monster romance or even an indie version of contemporary as it's less vanilla n boring. I rather shoot myself than read an Emily Henry book. you'd have to pay me lots to read an abby Jimenez or an Elena armas or any animated cartoon cover lol. so I enjoy PD very much n don't try to over analyze dark romance. of course I have my hard lines but I guess some dub con I seem to overlook n can get past. but others like in the ritual I couldn't get past 15% n dnf ed. So for me it's v dependent on the author n PD is talented to get away w/ it n make it interesting/enjoyable n worth my time. I wasn't bored at all. I also do not listen to audiobooks (can only do mid mystery/thriller via audio) I just can't deal with someone narrating sex scenes lol n imo dark romance via audio is not a good fit whatsoever. physically reading it, things don't seem as non consensual as PD does a good job setting the scene, atmosphere, secluded cabin in the mountains, away from "real world", etc. Also I read these type of books in 1 sitting b/ once I take myself out of the setting it's v hard to get back n that makes it less enjoyable. this is my version of binging light reality tv, popcorn entertainment vs an excellent show I slowly savor week by week.
