#LittensLoveRomance Ch.25-27: oh Shay. I‘m sad for you. Don‘t get me wrong, we‘re all a little self sabotaging at times and I‘d probably have screwed this up too. But I‘m sad for you. Poor Dominic. He didn‘t deserve such an abrupt end. Now Ameena - she deserves to be given the cold shoulder. She was pretty harsh. Poor TJ haha - having to be in the middle. I feel like I‘ve been on edge this whole book and it‘s all about to hit the fan.

TheSpineView What Ameena said was so uncalled for. I wanted to give her a piece of my mind. Shay and Dominic should have talked things out. I get she is conflicted, but she is usually the clingy one. This is kind of out of character for her. 4h

JenlovesJT47 Ameena really pissed me off in these chapters! 😤 Glad it‘s not just me 🙃 3h

OriginalCyn620 Ameena was too harsh and she made her decision back then without talking to Shay, so she really can‘t throw in Shay‘s face now. And since Shay and Dominic were on an honesty kick, why didn‘t she just talk to him? But you said it well, Renee. I‘ve been on pins and needles this whole book! 3h

julieclair I was so disappointed in Ameena. And I‘m not sure what she‘s trying to achieve by being so ugly to her best friend. 3h

vonnie862 Aye! I wanted to shake all of the characters! 3h

LiseWorks I was a little disappointed with Shay. Poor Dominic! 2h

Skygoddess1 I cannot believe Ameena, she was so nasty to Shay and I wish I could‘ve given her a piece of my mind. Shay needs to get out of her head and learn how to communicate those thoughts to Dominic, I feel like he‘d be open to more if she let him know that‘s what she wanted 2h

#LittensLoveRomance ch22-24: How are Shay and Dominic going to handle things now that they‘ve crossed that line? Hope they can be honest abt what they‘re feeling-but let‘s be real-More lies will be told before this book is done. Do we think Shay should confront Kent for being so misogynistic? That‘s a tough road to travel. But can she be fulfilled in a position lower than Dominic? And will Shay have a falling out with Ameena over everything?

JenlovesJT47 I‘m really enjoying this book! 1d

julieclair The lies are going to pile up higher and higher. 🫣 And Kent… I think Shay should have an unemotional, frank talk with him. It probably won‘t do any good, but she owes it to herself to speak up. 1d

See All 8 Comments

OriginalCyn620 In theory, she should speak up to Kent, but I‘m sure she‘s afraid of getting fired or at the very least of him deliberately making things worse for her at work. If she did talk to Kent, maybe reinforcements, Ruthie and Dominic, would help. But yes, the line has been crossed! It‘ll be interesting! 1d

TheSpineView Loved when Dominic called Kent a prick. He sure has his number. 1d

vonnie862 Well, they definitely crossed the line and all the lies are going to spill out soon. Now Kent...I hope Shay will get the strength to stand up to him. 1d

Skygoddess1 I think between Kent‘s obvious misogyny, having to lie and the inevitable truth coming out and blowing up in everyone‘s faces that Shay will reach such a breaking point that she‘ll tell Kent off and quite in the same breath 11h

mcctrish I have totally read past where I‘m supposed to be and I‘m confused. 8h

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.19-21: We finally get to learn more abt Dominic and his past relationship- his only relationship. But though his number is less than Shay‘s it seems as though he has more overall experience than Shay when it comes to love and intimacy. Their weekend away had indeed made them closer. And no surprise, things start to heat up. How will they navigate things when they get back home and go back to work?

StayCurious @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @PageShifter @Kshakal @julesG @willaful @LiseWorks @TheSpineView @OriginalCyn620 @vonnie862 @Graciouswarriorprincess @peanutnine @CarolynM @CoverToCoverGirl @DanaManiac @Cupcake12 @TheAromaofBooks @julieclair @MatchlessMarie @melzen @maich @JenlovesJT47 @Skygoddess1 2d

vonnie862 Dominic seems to be the one more mature when it comes to relationships. However, let's see how their foreplay plays out on their working relationship. Like Shay wondered, perhaps they'll finish the deed once they are back home. 2d

mcctrish @vonnie862 he sure does 2d

OriginalCyn620 I was a little surprised that he‘s only had one relationship. But it‘s a nice contrast to Shay constantly chasing down a relationship. I hope they don‘t get all awkward again once they‘re back at work! 2d

TheSpineView I suspect there will be some awkwardness. Still want more details on his break up especially since Shay came clean. 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.16-18: guh - trolls are the worst! What was up with that caller? Shay and Dominic had a close one on air. But I don‘t think a weekend away will solve this particular problem. They‘re in for a world of hurt when their carefully constructed house of lies comes crashing down. And I hate their sexist boss btw. He‘s a bit to blame for all this!

Skygoddess1 Kent is definitely the worst. Is it bad that I‘m secretly hoping that when this all blows up Kent is a part of the firing that I‘m sure will happen? I think the weekend away is going to result in them having a secret relationship for real. 3d

TheSpineView Not a fan of Kent either. Like @Skygoddess1 I think the weekend away together will be the catalyst for a real relationship. 3d

mcctrish @Skygoddess1 @TheSpineView I was neutral although curious about some of Kent‘s choices but this section made me dislike him greatly! How do we spell misogyny?! 3d

OriginalCyn620 Yes, Kent is a tool. How hard would it have been to text them both? I too think things will go up a notch or two on this weekend getaway. But that caller…WTH does he care if Shay and Dominic are lying? Dominic handled him pretty well though! 3d

vonnie862 @OriginalCyn620 my thoughts as well. But then what really goes on in troll's minds? 3d

vonnie862 And the weekend getaway...things are going to heat up! 3d

MatchlessMarie I don‘t u see stand why they couldn‘t have just cleared it up (ie gaslit that caller lol) with a different date if their actual (fake) breakup that seemed like it would have been the easiest way to confront it since it still would have made the relationship roughly 3 months. 🙃 3d

julieclair @vonnie862 Do trolls have minds? 😂😂😂 2d

julieclair I agree that the weekend is going to turn their fake relationship into a real one. 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13-15: well things are definitely getting more complicated between Dominic and Shay. Even if it is Drunk Dominic and slightly tipsy Shay. I wonder how he‘ll handle seeing her Tuesday - will he just ignore it? I feel bad that they are both lonely people. Maybe they need each other. But can they be just friends?

mcctrish I honestly think they are lonely. They should be friends with each other and they hopefully will be before they get horizontal 4d

TheSpineView They're lonely and both have baggage. I wonder why Dominic and his ex broke up. That should be enlightening. 4d

OriginalCyn620 @TheSpineView Yes! I need more backstory on Dominic‘s love life, since we have some on Shay‘s. But I agree that they are both lonely people and would love to see them form a friendship, then a romance from there. I felt so bad for Dominic that he didn‘t have anyone to call up to go have drinks with him! 🥺 4d

vonnie862 @mcctrish I'm with you: be friends first before getting together. 4d

Skygoddess1 I need to much information on Dominic. His last relationship, why he doesn‘t seem to have any friends despite having grown up and gone to school in Seattle. Did he just push everybody away, or did he do something so heinous they all cut him out of their lives? 4d

DanaManiac I feel like there‘s definitely more to Dominic than it seems. He‘s not super likable initially and then also doesn‘t have local friends. Whatever it is that we end up learning about him, I think it will clear up a lot and help his character transformation. 4d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch. 10-12: the show is a hit and their boss is happy - for now. He‘ll be happy so long as they‘re popular. After that, who knows. But Shay is feeling the guilt over lying. How long will she be able to keep it up? I think they should at least tell Ruthie. And Shay‘s mom. Yeesh that will be awkward when the truth comes out.

Leftcoastzen 😻👏 5d

OriginalCyn620 I know we‘re all waiting for this to spectacularly bite Dominic and Shay in the ass! I just wonder how it will come about. Oh, and I also want to see if the redhead makes an appearance! And if she does, I‘m sure it‘ll be after Dominic and Shay start falling for each other. 5d

LiseWorks I'm starting to like Dominic. 5d

mcctrish Dr Nina Flores knows something is up and I think the redhead will show up too @OriginalCyn620 somehow they will get together and then break up and being the dream of the show and then get together. But I am curious why Kent wants in on the planning? Does he sit in on other shows? Shay and Dominic have enough pressure with the show succeeding or they are out of work without Kent potentially undermining their ideas of how the show should flow 5d

TheSpineView We all know this is going to spectacularly implode. I wonder if something is going to happen with Dominic's ex. 5d

MatchlessMarie Kent is such a tool 😒 5d

Graciouswarriorprincess I agree! Something is going to happen where it implodes! @MatchlessMarie You are so right about Kent but he seems like a lovable tool. 5d

vonnie862 I agree with all of you. Just waiting to see who's going to get hurt. 5d

Skygoddess1 I agree about telling Ruthie, especially since her reputation will also take a hit when the truth comes out. Her Mom should also be told. I‘m anxiously awaiting to see how this ends up falling apart. 5d

julieclair What does it say about us that we‘re all eagerly awaiting the implosion? 😂😂😂 4d

Cupcake12 Getting into this now. Trying to work out who falls hardest first! 1d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch:7-9 Shay is definitely attracted to Dominic-but will her feelings get in the way of their new show and the lies they have to keep straight? This would stress me out to the point of hives I think. Especially lying to her mom. I also feel as though a 3 month relationship does not a relationship guru make. I‘d rather listen to a show where the hosts had been together for years. But that would be an even bigger lie to deal with.

Kshakal I see many holes in their plan but I am positive it will be a fun ride! 6d

mcctrish @Kshakal so many holes but a fun read none the less 6d

See All 10 Comments

LiseWorks I wonder why Dominic agreed to do this. I also feel Shays insecurity. 6d

willaful 3 months does seem ridiculous. Surely no one would take that seriously. 6d

OriginalCyn620 @Kshakal Yes, exactly! And I agree that it‘s a little flimsy for people who only dated a couple of months to host a radio show about said relationship…it would make more sense if it had been a couple of years. But I‘m just here for the ride! 6d

TheSpineView I agree about the holes. I think they are so big they will fall in and get lost in them. It is a disaster waiting to happen. I'm cringing just thinking about it how this could all go off the rails. 6d

vonnie862 I was not expecting her to lie to her mom. I get it but still. Also, I am so happy she adopted Steve! I kept rooting for the chihuahua! 6d

DanaManiac I‘m curious to see how this all comes together. Personally, a bad personality makes a person so unattractive, so I can‘t relate to Shay‘s love/hate feelings for Dominic. I‘m sure the holes will end up exposing them! 6d

julieclair Like @StayCurious I‘d have hive from that much lying. And like @TheSpineView I‘m cringing about that train wreck that surely is going to happen. So why am I enjoying this book? 😂 4d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.4-6: it‘s a tough nugget to swallow when you‘re given an ultimatum-do this new show or you‘re fired. Looks like Dominic is getting to see how the real world of journalism is. But Shay is right - it could open doors and lead to other opportunities for both of them. They just have to make sure they don‘t get caught. ⬇️

StayCurious Also, how do we feel about Dominic being younger than Shay? I feel as though that age gap could be significant but that may just be me. 1w

BarkingMadRead Age gaps are so tricky, I had a guy once tell me age was mind over matter. If you don‘t mind, it doesn‘t matter 🤣 but sometimes it‘s too much 1w

See All 16 Comments

mcctrish My husband is 4 years younger than me and it only matters when we talk about what we did in high school ( music, tv & movies we listened to/watched) 1w

willaful Knowing that Dominic is so young definitely make it easier to excuse his behavior. He needs the world to teach him a thing or two. And I feel like they're in a similar place emotionally. -- both idealistic about pyublic radio, though in different directions.

My husband is 3 years younger... he was 18 and I was 21 when we met! I was embarrassed about it at the time but it's honestly never mattered. 1w

LiseWorks My husband is 8 years younger than me, and sometimes he acts older than me, lol. I usually remind him that I have been driving longer than him. And yes, songs, tv, and stuff are quite a conversation 1w

OriginalCyn620 I don‘t think the age gap will be that big of a deal! I‘m not speaking from experience though, so what do I know? 😂 And in spite of being so young, Dominic seems a bit uptight. Hopefully doing this new show will loosen him up. 1w

TheSpineView It is mean of me to say, I thought it fitting he got a dose of reality. I know he is young, but he is a bit arrogant too. 1w

Graciouswarriorprincess I dated a guy 16 years older than me and it was fine. Sometimes, historical things would be a bit different but otherwise age is a number. Here‘s hoping they can work it out. 1w

Faranae I don't think 3-4 years is an age gap. I'm sure it could feel that way when you're younger (early 20s), but by your 30s it's nothing, My parents are nearly 10 years apart, fitting the historical tradition (Dad is the older one). Now age gaps in Bujold novels 😬 1w

vonnie862 I know the age gap doesn't matter but I personally do not aim for that. Dominic is in his early 20s so it might play a role as to how he acts with Shay. 1w

Skygoddess1 The five year age gap isn‘t that big a deal for me, it‘d be different if it was a 20 year old with a 15 year old, but they‘re both in their 20s and I feel like it‘s being made a bigger deal than it is. I once dated a guy who was 9 years older than me for almost 5 years, it ended because he was a Peter Pan 1w

DanaManiac I was surprised to learn that Dominic is younger than Shay, but it makes his attitude more understandable. I recall being so black and white in my thinking when I was young (without being a jerk, lol). I feel like the age gap may become a key part of the plot, but not too sure about how. 7d

TheAromaofBooks To me, it depends on the overall age/life experiences. So I think it can make a bit of a difference in their case, with Dominic straight out of college vs Shay already in the workforce several years. I'm 10yrs younger than my husband and we tool along great, but we met when we were older and already knew where we were going in life, so I think that makes a difference!! 7d

julieclair I don‘t feel like the age gap is going to matter. But I feel for both of them having to choose between your ethics/morals/standards and keeping your job. 4d

Cupcake12 Looking forward to seeing how the radio show unfolds. I feel Dominic is hiding something due to his bravado 2d
