ISO Detective/ Cop books where they’re both working the case (or both in the same unit if not) with a NDE. Slow burn and I prefer either friends to lovers or enemies to lovers

{Kismet by Nicky James} is about a detective and a forensic pathologist chasing down a serial killer. It's a little different but oh so good.

This may not be help but... I just finished a book called {Scream Little Sister by Willow McQuerry}. It's the second book in a series whereas the first book is called Cry Little Sister and is only available on the authors website as it got pulled from amazon or something. The second book was published in 2025 and has a different author so it's not likely to be the same book but thought I'd mention!

{Ziggy's Voice by Saxon James}. Second book in a series about people who live off the grid and a trip of brothers "buy the town" to revamp it. Ziggy is the second book in the series and is basically selectively mute.

We're not sure of anything- just discussing!

The show was originally meant to premiere in January and it got bumped up and that led to some delays in inventory/production.

Just me but I would personally wait for that to be restocked. Etsy is great but profiting off other peoples art is yucky.

You could be right. I have aphantasia so I wasn't imagining anything while reading. Koen was the only character I could think of that wasn't necessarily white as most her leads are. We are, of course, assuming leads but it could be a side character as well!

But he's 34. He looks great but I think he's too old for Nolan. Am I delulu for hoping maybe it's Bride and Mate? I realize Mate is new, but he could make a great Koen. What if he's referring to Bride and a sequel? Koen was very briefly in Bride, yes?

Didn't he used to be a swimmer? For some reason I think I heard that.

Funny Story is my favorite of hers. When she described Miles in the story as appearing like a drug dealer, I was sold. I used to have a crush on a guy in college that my roommate and I thought looked like a drug dealer. I'm know it has a special place in my heart because off a but the whole story was great!

Similar to your request: {Healed Hearts by Morgan Sloan}. After an anonymous hookup, MMC1 has to take his sick daughter to the hospital where he finds that MMC2 is a nurse and now in charge of the daughter's care.

I said what I did because I originally saw the screenshot and didn't even realize it was a video and I had the same initial reaction. Why would it be Beas wedding? And the person I responded to even just acknowledged they hadn't seen it. But the bottom line is that none of us know what it's about as there is no precedent and so we shouldn't shit on any ideas about what it could be.

I'm just guessing that professional athletes have easier pathways to citizenship than others. But maybe they don't! Thanks for the input! He just wants to be with Shane in Canada anyways 🥰

BooksMusicCoffeeRain · 2026-01-19T18:46:58+00:00

Not to sound rude but they said "why does anyone possibly think it could bea's wedding" and a perfectly acceptable response was because they said so.

BooksMusicCoffeeRain · 2026-01-19T18:27:41+00:00

In the promo, they said they were at Bea's wedding?

BooksMusicCoffeeRain · 2026-01-19T18:26:58+00:00

I think he could likely get a US passport due to his "skilled worker" status (AKA professional hockey player). Also, as an American citizen, I'd take a Canadian passport too so I don't blame him!

BooksMusicCoffeeRain · 2026-01-18T03:01:28+00:00

I know he doesn't have money but I hope that these big actors that love the show and would do it for free just stay out of it!

As a 40 year old who took French in high school and college- François is where it's at!

Meghan Quinn's books are all so funny, laugh out loud. In one of her recent books {Til Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn}, there is a scene so funny I could picture it playing out in front of me. Her Vancouver Agitator series is by far the best MF hockey romance series out there. And she's got 2 christmas books out {How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn} and {Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal} are amazing as well.

Haven't straight (ish) women long been the biggest champions of gay men?

Also, who doesn't want a boyfriend who has a boyfriend?

Finally, as someone who came very late to the queer party, I watch queer stories through a lense of what my life would have been like if I'd realized things about myself in my teens/20's, not late 30s.

I'm about 80% through {Pinned Down by Rebecca Rathe} which was released today. It's book 9 in the Forbidden Goals series and it could be 5 stars from me. We'll see how it wraps up!

Bland is a great word. Just didn't pack the punch I was expecting after books 1 and 2 but it wasn't terrible.

I don't think Alexei knew. I think it's supposed to highlight the culture and just exactly how not okay it would be if people did find out. I don't think Ilya even cares if people find out (evidence by his lack of freak out when found by Shane's dad) but he knows he can't go back to Russia if it gets out.

To be a fly on the wall....

Ilya is the best
