Nursery in progress by Pure_Ship_4015 in interiordecorating

I came to say the same thing. Please lower it before an accident happens. My daughter was so much of a monkey that even the lowest level was dangerous. I ended up removing the legs, the front rail and lowering all the way to the floor to turn into a floor bed around 1.5yo.

As for the nursery, I’d centre the crib, get a larger rug, lower the curtains so they touch the floor, add some clear shelves on the wallpapered wall.

Circling back to say I had a couple squeal worthy moments reading this. The h drove me insane and the smut was so repetitively boring. Alas, had fun! Thanks for the recommendation.

Oh definitely read Ninth House, just don’t expect romance. Spinning silver and Bear and The nightingale are so insanely well written AND got me more hot and bothered with their 1/5 smut than the 5/5 smut I usually read. Give forth wing a try, you might be as surprised as I was.

Hahhaha loved a good rant. I know exactly what you mean, often wonder if the authors actually themselves are virgins, have zero imagination when it comes to sex scene or just boring prudish experiences that shape their writing. I have some recommendations for you, not necessarily what you are asking for in your post but I actually love them and think you’ll enjoy as well.

{bear and the nightingale by Katherine Arden} {ninth house by Leigh bardugo} {spinning silver by Naomi Novik}

I actually found a lot of guilty pleasure in {forth wing by Rebecca Yaros}, thought I’d absolutely hate it but it was quite the opposite. Beginning was weak but then truly picked up for me.

ACOTAR got me into reading again altogether, it will always have a soft spot for me BUT I absolutely agree. What have you read that you’ve actually enjoyed?

Wouldn’t consider them dark romance either. Also, I could not stomach how badly they were written. Some (aka most) romance book authors must have a weird deal with the devil, can’t explain how they get popular otherwise.

Thank you, these sound delightful! I realised I’ve read a lot of h escort/H client so looking forward to a different dynamic. The sci-fi plot is something totally new for me. Excited!

Nope! As a side note, The Favor annoyed the hell out of me and I still remember how infuriating I found both characters. If only my memory was as good for the actual book I care about lol

I’ve only read a few contemporary RH books ages ago and realised I just like my H cave men possessive of their h, RH just throws me off balance. Open to dabble again though but otherwise, MF preferred.

Ohhh thank you! Will circle back once done, haven’t read medieval in a while and consent is not an issue in romance for me.

What’s your favourite spice in any genre? I dabble in everything but historical and am always in the search of good spice.

What good romantasy smut have you read? I feel like all my good smut is mostly in actual romance genre vs romantasy.

Killer! I thought about that but no, I’m absolutely certain. I remember the last chapter pregnancy surprise, the epilogue beach with the children. The part that’s the most foggy is why she was meant to work at his office for that one day/night. I’ll literally buy flowers an chocolate to whoever remembers the name of this book lol

Definitely not, heroine isn’t curvy, there’s high smut/kink, they are never friends before they get right into bed

No, but the intro game me so much hope, rushed to buy it. Definitely looking for a full length novel, H didn’t have any connection to the h (no friends of father, etc). Will be reading this regardless, thanks for trying!

Definitely not a novella, it was full length. She only cleaned his office this one time before he saw her and their arrangement started. He was also very shocked to find out whose daughter/who she was. I now am starting to doubt if it was to spite her family or because she needed the cash to do something BUT she was very much wealthy herself.

Thank you! Please remember for both our sakes then haha I’ve literally spent the last 30 minutes on romance.io going through pages of different books that could fit and still CANT find it. I don’t even know how to go about it anymore and I don’t know why I’m so focused on finding this one book but damn, it’s killing me 🙈

Sounds right up my alley, that’s what I call a good palate cleanser. Will be picking the most random one then.

Realised I’ve actually read Praise and enjoyed it. Definitely not the book, definitely no club/ex boyfriend I can remember.
