pickJane Austen acolytes & Bridgerton besties, I must insist you add this darling graphic novel to your dance card. Set in a diverse, inclusive alt-Regency-era, a marriage of convenience between a reputation-ruined lady and a financially-ruined gentleman settles into surprising contentment, but will it survive the chance for more? Sexy and satisfying, moving and romantic, this pitch-perfect read is a quick one, but you‘ll savor it like a spiced tea.
pickI seem to be, oh, two months behind on reviews. We'll see how many of them I get posted haha I really liked the concept of this one - Emmeline & William got married several years ago to fulfill the requirements of E's capricious uncle so that E can continue to live in her childhood home. But things are about to come apart at the seams - a secondary requirement was that they produce an heir, which never happened... but E's uncle thinks it has ⬇
pickIt‘s not as good as the first one, but I enjoyed it. I found Jonathan frustrating, but I know if characters just communicated there wouldn‘t be a story. Still, cut story, and some great 🌶️🌶️🌶️. It‘s nice to see the woman take control in these period romances!
pickI love how this author writes characters. This was about as much as I get into football these days. 😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
bailedThere was a whole thing on socials last week where someone called the author a pedo bc the MCs name is the same as a middle name of a 12yo Swedish prince. MC of this book is in his 20s &there‘s a disclaimer about this being fictional
“reader” doubled down, claimed this was an author behaving badly even though you cant just call someone a pedo
But as the MC sped away in a speedboat from the paparazzi I realized this book was aggressively not for me
pickI've never read manga before, but this volume was really sweet. It's a story about an aro-ace woman and a gay man who marry and the subsequent platonic relationship that blossoms in wake of the ceremony. I read all the panels in the wrong order at first (reading manga is a learning curve!). I'm definitely interested in reading vol. 2 and vol. 3. The characters were really lovely. Will it be a platonic happily ever after? Consider me invested.
so-so
