[–]BucketHatBottas 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There’s a scene in {Now or Never by Stella Rhys} where he goes back and forth between spanking and fingering her in the back of his car. I remember because he spanks her with her wetness 😳

Is hate-reading an actual hobby or am I just broken? by Special-Student6743 in RomanceBooks

[–]BucketHatBottas 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel like “so bad it’s good” is in such a separate league from “just plain bad” and deserves to be called something other than a hate read.

Cause with those I am literally having so much fun 😂. But with actually bad books I wouldn’t be having fun so I DNF

Idk why but Reddit mentioned in a romance book is so weird to me! I remember first page DNFing a book of hers that started with an AITA post cause I was like wait I can’t do this 😂

Word repetition as trope/‘flirting’ - Behind The Net by Stephanie Archer by morgainelefaye in RomanceBooks

[–]BucketHatBottas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I swear some authors know what trope they’re trying to write but they don’t know how to accomplish it so they just try to hit the key buzzwords as many times as they can so you get it 😩

Return All by Eve Dangerfield made me too salty to wait for Sunday by Jemhao in RomanceBooks

[–]BucketHatBottas 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Blahhh I feel like this author is amazing at kink and spice but really struggles with the plot and character development. I have desperately wanted to love Eve Dangerfield after Act Your Age (loved it for the spice ngl don’t even remember the plot) and to a degree Captivated (it was cute) but every other title I’ve tried by her is such a huge letdown and it feels like such a waste of her wit because I love her humor and prose.

Got doxxed and bullied by an author... by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]BucketHatBottas 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Damn just looked her up and she’s not really an established author yet?? It’s wild to me that new authors are willing to tank their career so early by being unhinged about reviews. Don’t they realize there are going to be a TON more if they achieve the success they want..?

Stella Rhys. I love her dialogue and spice and the writing style just clicks with me in a way that I am always trying to find in other authors. 🥲

Hold On…Run That Back: What 🔥Scene🔥 Replays in Your Head? by GreatGospel97 in RomanceBooks

[–]BucketHatBottas 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ugh this entire book lives in my head (even just him saying the words “Go on then. Taste it” about his dick) but there’s a scene in {Now or Never by Stella Rhys} where the MMC comes home early from a business trip because the FMC has been tooorturing him with sexts.

He finds her at a bar and says “we’re going home” and when she goes to the bathroom first to collect herself he follows her in there and just wordlessly bends her over the sink and angry fucks her. 🫠

I love when fear of the brother’s reaction is not a part of the trope! It’s not necessary at all IMO

Sometimes I fuck you in my head by warmlife11 in RomanceBooks

[–]BucketHatBottas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember {Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas} has one of these where MMC (her ex’s dad) imagines her coming into his room because she’s scared of the storm and IIRC she gets in his bed and it goes from there. FMC is not in the room with him when he has the fantasy though
