LittensloveRomance

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.15-16: quite a bit to unpack in these chapters. First, if Josie wants to stay back from Liam, listening to his entire music catalogue probably wasn‘t the best decision. Second, I know we don‘t like Nick, but Josie is still being unfair to him. And I think she has been for a while but she didn‘t want to be alone so she keeps him around.⬇️

StayCurious At least she finally acknowledged that Liam should get the right to see Noah if that‘s what he wants. Boy, will that go down well with Nick. 20h

LiseWorks I'm on team Liam. I don't know why he did it. But it seems like he said he tried to talk to her and she made it sound like It's OK, you can talk to coach and he'll take you back. He walked away. I really don't blame him. And he didn't know about Noah. 20h

CrowCAH Gosh yes a bad decision to download and listen to all the albums. She stayed so strong for 10 years and now she broke down and listened. 19h

Roary47 I‘m just glad that Josie is letting Noah know his dad. There is still something in me that wants to hear Liam out. He made a mistake leaving Josie. He admits that. 19h

OriginalCyn620 Again, no communication! Liam started the conversation “that night” but he didn‘t get far at all. And yes, Josie cut in with the comment about the coach, but Liam immediately walking away was him being cowardly. How was Josie supposed to know what he was feeling. She may have her faults but she‘s not a mind reader! 5h

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13-14: Okay. Fresh day. Fresh outlook. I will read these chapters without getting annoyed at these characters….ugh. Never mind. Liam left because he felt like he couldn‘t follow his dreams? How were Josie and his friends holding him back? Because they had certain expectations for him? I think a lot would have helped if he‘d just talked to them about what he was feeling. ⬇️

StayCurious And Josie getting so mad at Noah for talking to Liam - yeah, that‘s only going to make him more angry when he discovers the truth. I‘m not feeling romantic heartsey vibes from this book but I‘m still interested in how things will play out. Should I be? 2d

Kshakal I am glad these chapters are short because if they weren‘t I might not be able to do it! So annoyed at them! 2d

StayCurious @Kshakal I was thinking the same thing 😆 2d

CrowCAH Yeah his reasoning for leaving is not good enough for me. 2d

LiseWorks I'm waiting for something to happen. I got the feeling that his leaving was because of his parents. Something happened there because he doesn't even want to go see them. And I am so upset with Josie. Why did she get so mad at her son? 2d

StayCurious @LiseWorks I think he just felt pressure from his parents. I don‘t think they supported his new path at all and he probably resents them for it. 1d

Roary47 Ugh. This was not the chapters I was looking for. 💀 19h

OriginalCyn620 I got behind this weekend so I‘m catching up, but there‘s zero communication going on in this book. Can we chalk it up to them being young? Mayne to a point, but it also seems like plain common sense. 5h

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.11-12: Still don‘t care for Liam. Until I‘m told otherwise, it seems like he was tired of his charmed life & decided a change was needed. I hate that the people in his life became burdens & were expendable. Even if his parents forced his hand there was a better way to break free. But - Josie can‘t keep Liam and Noah apart unless she gets a handle on what they both want. It‘s not just about her-It needs to be most about Noah

StayCurious @Graciouswarriorprincess @LiseWorks @TheSpineView @audraelizabeth @OriginalCyn620 @CrowCAH @julieclair @Roary47 @PageShifter @SarahBookInterrupted @Read4life @TheAromaofBooks @Kshakal 3d

LiseWorks I always feel sorry for the man when they find out they have a kid they didn't know about. I still say there really had to be a good reason for Liam to want to disappear like that. 3d

OriginalCyn620 I do think Josie needs to have a conversation with Noah. It would be so much worse if he finds out the truth from someone else! It doesn‘t seem like that possibility has occurred to her. 3d

CrowCAH I‘m kind of surprised she actually hadn‘t told Noah about her dad. What has she said about Liam this whole time? 3d

Roary47 @LiseWorks I agree there has to be a good reason. I hope… I see them both at fault for this. Plus they still love each other. Noah needs to be in the front of their minds when they make decisions. @OriginalCyn620 I agree that she needs to tell Noah before he finds out. 1d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9-10: nuh-no Liam. You don‘t get to act broken hearted. You decided to leave. You made the choice to go. Granted you didn‘t know about Noah but you did know about Josie. So don‘t play the martyr. And Josie: you can‘t NOT tell Noah. He deserves to know who his dad is. Both these characters are irksome.

LiseWorks I read a book for Christmas that was just like this from Nora Roberts lol, I'm getting annoyed that they can't communicate 4d

TheSpineView Liam is acting like a spoiled child. He got his cake with ice too, I might add, and he is complaining he didn't pie! F'in A!!! He made his bed now he has to lay in it 4d

CrowCAH Especially since HE changed his phone number, HE could have reached out to her. I get where she‘s coming from wanting to keep the status quo by not telling Noah, but he‘s at an age where he can figure things out or make his own decisions about Liam‘s character. 4d

Roary47 While the characters are annoying me. I‘m enjoying the ride so far. Still curious why he left. I don‘t think he would have left the only people he cares about. He doesn‘t seem to like the fame at all. He‘s an ogre with layers. 4d

OriginalCyn620 I agree with you all! I too want to know what happened that made Liam leave. And not just leave, but also why he cut everyone out of his life. That‘s the part that‘s bugging me. I‘m guessing his dad had to do with the leaving part, and it better be pretty bad, because then maybe we can justify his behavior! 3d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-8: Hm, I‘m seeing some red flags with Nick for sure. I don‘t like the way he manhandled Josie. Was that the first time or is it a regular occurrence? Do we think Liam was lying when he said he wouldn‘t care if Josie had moved on but seeing that it‘s with Nick pissed him off? I think he would have cared either way. Things are going to get very complicated.

StayCurious @Graciouswarriorprincess @LiseWorks @TheSpineView @audraelizabeth @OriginalCyn620 @CrowCAH @julieclair @Roary47 @PageShifter @SarahBookInterrupted @Read4life @TheAromaofBooks @Kshakal 5d

OriginalCyn620 I didn‘t like Nick doing that to her either. Nor did I like Liam getting all pissy that she‘s with Nick now. He has no right to be! It‘s early on, but right now, I kinda want Josie to kick them both to the curb. 😂 5d

CrowCAH I didn‘t like Nick‘s physical reaction. Uncalled for. I think we‘d all like to think we‘d be okay seeing our true love/ex with someone else, but really we‘d be envious of their situation. And even a bit mad that they didn‘t wait for a love reunion. 5d

LiseWorks There is no way that I would be able to be with Nick. Manhandling her like that really turned me off. I think Liam might know how Nick is, and of course, they seemed to have not liked each other in high-school, therefore the jealous reaction from both was obvious. 5d

TheSpineView Nope, don't like Nick. I think he is going to be trouble in the future. 5d

Roary47 I am on team kick Nick to the curb. Now that Liam knows about Noah he might want him in his life. I‘m glad that the wife of his friend who passed is inclusive. There has to be more there in his leaving. I can‘t see that he would leave them all when he was so happy without a good reason. 4d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.5-6: well I guess cat‘s out of the bag. Do you think she should have tried harder to tell him about his son or did the fact that he changed his number make it clear that he had moved on? If he would‘ve stayed, would he have even been able to go to college with a baby on the way? Would their lives have been very different? I think he would have grown to resent her for holding him back. He seems like that type.

StayCurious @Graciouswarriorprincess @LiseWorks @TheSpineView @audraelizabeth @OriginalCyn620 @CrowCAH @julieclair @Roary47 @PageShifter @SarahBookInterrupted @Read4life @willaful @TheAromaofBooks @Kshakal 6d

OriginalCyn620 She clearly tried to get in touch, so I‘m Team Josie here. I agree with her that he has no right barking at her and wanting answers. But I do think you‘re right, Renee. If he‘d known and had stayed, he probably would‘ve ended up resenting it and her. Really not liking Liam! 6d

willaful Sorry, but I'm dropping out. Liam's incessant misogyny is just too much for me. 😞 6d

See All 7 Comments

CrowCAH I agree, he would still have felt trapped, even if he knew about the baby. It‘s why he left, he wanted to pursue his passion and it wasn‘t the traditional house, wife, and baby story. Sometimes men have to do some growing up before they realize what‘s important. 6d

LiseWorks And I'm on Liam's team here. Do we really know why he left? No! Something must have happened for him to leave everything, and until I know what it is, I'm sticking with him. Don't tell me that a famous guy like that could not have been reached. She knew what he was doing if he was famous. 6d

TheSpineView @LiseWorks Not on team Liam; however, I agree that there is something else going on that has not been revealed yet. If Josie had wanted to reach Liam she could have if only through attorneys. Maybe she decided that she didn't want Liam involved with Noah afraid that he would reject them both. Who knows... Maybe this will be revealed layer too. 6d

Roary47 I‘m sorry @willaful not that you are out. I agree with you on Liam, and will miss your insight. @LiseWorks and @TheSpineView there definitely is something else going on in his reason for leaving everything behind. I‘m here to see if it justifies leaving the only woman he ever loved. His anger at her I feel is unwarranted. Sure famous dude I‘m sure could have been tracked down, but he went out of his way to ghost her. 5d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.3: so when he left, it looks as though he left everything and everyone. What was he running away from? And is he still running?
Ch.4: Do you think Nick knows that Josie still thinks of the past and isn‘t sure about marrying him, despite her best efforts? How must it feel to guess you‘re second place? ⬇️

StayCurious I‘m surprised that Mason‘s wife left an open spot for a pallbearer “just in case” - I‘m surprised she would want Liam involved in the funeral after all this time. 7d

CrowCAH I do wonder exactly what happened and why Liam ran. Seems a bit drastic to leave everything behind when he had such a tight-night group of friends and a potential career in football. 7d

See All 10 Comments

LiseWorks This fascinates me. It seems weird that Liam is even going to this funeral. I donalsongrt the impression he doesn't like his lifestyle now. 7d

OriginalCyn620 First, your meme is on point! 🤣🤣🤣 Secondly, I agree that leaving an open pallbearer spot was odd, giving what we know about the situation. And I‘m with @CrowCAH…why did Liam leave the way he did? Very mysterious and we don‘t have all the pieces of the puzzle yet, but he clearly ran from something or someone. 7d

willaful Liam continues to be a prime douchecanoe. What an arrogant ass.

Not real impressed with Josie not telling Noah anything about his dad, either, but he is young yet.
7d

Read4life We are definitely missing key info. Liam says early on that he left the only girl he ever loved and she had a miscarriage two months later. Would he have made different choices if he knew he had a child? Mason‘s wife leaving a place for him, in my opinion, shows she knows how deep Mason‘s love for Liam went & that Liam wouldn‘t let him go without that final goodbye. 7d

willaful @Read4life The passage is a bit confusing but I think the miscarriage was his manager, not Josie. It's not clear whether he ever knew Josie was pregnant but I suspect not. 6d

Read4life @willaful Thank you. I‘m listening to the audio so I appreciate the clarification. 🤓 6d

Roary47 Yes, I believe the manager was the one with the miscarriage. @Read4life @willaful There is mention of his dad and he doesn‘t seem too happy to see his dad. My thought is him leaving has something to do with him. I hope he can be accepted with his friend group again (not that I like his choices at the moment). I‘m glad that she left a spot to carry his friend. That is a great compassion move. 6d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.1. We meet Liam, who‘s definitely not coming across as a great guy. I sure hope he grows on us. But of course he should. This is a romance novel after all and we‘re supposed to like the lead. He‘s about to face his past at the most painful moment when everyone is already raw and emotional. ⬇️

StayCurious Ch.2. Uh oh - Our female protagonist is already in a relationship. I kind of hate that. I mean, in reality, you don‘t think she‘d wait for the guy who walked away and broke her heart. But the romantic in me doesn‘t want a love triangle. I don‘t like that trope. But we‘ll see what happens - it might turn out ok. 1w

willaful Yeah, don't love that... and her kid thinks of him as his father, that seems like it will get very complicated everyone. But I hope the book doesn't turn the new guy into a jerk just to make it easy for her to dump her. 1w

CrowCAH I agree. I always hope whoever it is waits for their true love to return. Like they can date, but it doesn‘t work out. She‘s engaged! 💍 How will she get out of this situation?! 1w

Roary47 I‘m also not a fan of the love triangle. I hope it works out for her and her son. Plus I hope Liam warms up on us. I‘m not a fan yet. 1w

OriginalCyn620 So, I‘m guessing the kid is Liam‘s and he doesn‘t know he‘s a father. Seems that nobody is liking the love triangle but it‘s definitely gonna make things interesting! And yes, I hope Liam gets likable, but for a rock star, his assholery isn‘t surprising. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w
