    If you love the hating game try to read the book of vi keeland "we shouldnt" and r.s grey "Arrogant devil", "hotshot doc", "anything you can do"
    And if you love the kiss quotient there's also another book of the same author "The bride test". It also follows the story of kiss quotient.

    Another romance readathon yea! I'm not really into them but it's great to see some full on romance reads and tropes on the agenda again :).
    I vote for the one night stand trope one because I had two series relationships come out of a ONS (!) and also because there is nothing wrong with some hot casual (protected!) sex between consenting adults when it's been a while since you had some!
    Really like your recs, some I've read and some are on my TBR. I totally agree with you in your gushing about Transcendence, the ending kinda just came out of nowhere on that one!, and you have me thinking about some regency with those Tessa Dare's you mentioned, and I normally steer clear of historicals!

    I don't know if you'll read this but I'm at the point where you said that Say Yes to the Marquess is your favourite Tessa Dare book. If you're interested in a different interpretation of the same main theme then please please please check out Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt. It's part of the Maiden Lane series but works well as a stand alone. I'll be interested to know of what you think of the book with a similar premise (heroine with fiance's brother) as well as Hoyt's writing which is often described as atmospheric. 💜💜💜

  • @ShalomDove
    @ShalomDove 6 років тому

    The Island... it does feel a little questionable, but as long as the student is 18, before the romantic relationship starts, I’m honestly intrigued by it. The setup takes them out of the student teacher context, so that makes the power dynamic more equal. I think it does, anyway
