pickA twist on damsel in distress trope, making fun of Cosmo articles!
Isabel has trouble trusting men & asking for help, but the safe house for women she runs falls into disrepair & she's left broke. Only solution? Sharing her secrets with Nick.
This volume was sad & darker than the previous one; both protagonists dealing with trauma made for a compelling tale, even if it's messy.
It's about building a strong partnership & letting your guard down.
Moving on to the next volume in the Love by Numbers series by @sarahmaclean immediately. Need the fluff in my life, don't @ me.
Thanks @amanda for the recommendation :)

pickAn entertaining & cute historical #romance that's also feminist af. Bless Sarah Maclean!
Callie is tired of being the good girl & following the rules, so she comes up with a list of adventures she would like to experience: drinking, fencing & gambling being just a few of them. Because why not? But what if a handsome aristocrat comes in the picture?
Bonus: a witty Italian débutant as a backup character :)

Bless @Amanda from @bookriot for putting @sarahmaclean on my radar :) Currently in a mood for an adorable historical #romance, don't @ me.
Kicking off #24in48 readathon with picking up "Nine rules to break when romancig a rake", the first volume in the Love by Numbers series. If it's anything like the excellent Rules of Scoundrels series, I am in for a treat!
Also, I adore this cover so much...

I'm back :) Did you miss me?
Good news: there's a new indie bookstore in town and so purchased this collection of novellas & short stories by Simone. Nobody describes Paris quite like her.
"The card-indexes and blank paper on my desk urged me to work; but there were words dancing in my head that prevented me from concentrating."

"She puts cinnamon on tomatoes
white pepper on carrots
mustard seeds on unlikely things
and takes wine and ice with breakfast."
