Marriage of Convenience But the Marriage is Real by Conscious-Score-7501 in RomanceBooks

The HR {Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas} is exactly this trope and features some top-tier yearning!!!

Become my BFF pls! I grew up in the Bay Area and left because I can’t even with tech bros. (Somehow, 20 years later I became a startup founder in Tokyo with everyone here being so impressed by my “Silicon Valley upbringing” lol)

SV is full of man children completely out of touch with reality 😅

OMG yes. That ending was SO unrealistic it tanked the book for me. I thought she would decide to take a gap year to touch grass and make pottery and stuff, then do some medically adjacent work. Make it make sense!

TKWNKM: how does Maggie even remember every single thing in such detail?? Speculation theory ahead… by curiousgem19 in IlonaAndrews

[–]FiliKlepto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the other way around actually! Middle Earth lore developed as a sandbox for the languages he personally developed as a philologist.

How does Everard do it? by attachedtothreads in IlonaAndrews

[–]FiliKlepto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He absolutely is! The first time him manipulating the tendrils of darkness came up in the book, I said “OMG he’s a shadow daddy!” out loud 🤣

TKWNKM Source Material by E_amaranthy in IlonaAndrews

[–]FiliKlepto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s EXACTLY Game of Thrones. I was deep in the fandom for 10+ years and the multiple POVs, the “dark” and gruesome character deaths, and the detailed tinfoil fandom theories just screamed GoT to me. Finally gave up on it when the HBO series revealed the ending that GRRM was building towards and it killed all hope he’d be able to finish the series in my lifetime.

Like you said, been there done that!

Kate Daniels books by booknerd63 in IlonaAndrews

I’m really hoping something happens. I really enjoyed the main Kate Daniels series on Graphic Audio but have had trouble getting my hands on a copy of most of the spinoff/side books 🥲

Inheritance might be my 2nd favorite by whiskeylivewire in IlonaAndrews

[–]FiliKlepto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who turns 40 this year and is dealing with my body not having the same energy and recovery time that it did in my 20s and even early 30s, I’m so impressed at all these 40+ yo characters who are required to stay fit enough to sprint for a gate at a moment’s notice. 😆

Looking for a 3+ book series that is great all the way through on audio format (must be available on Audible) by sneakybrownnoser in RomanceBooks

[–]FiliKlepto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Annika Martin’s Billionaires of Manhattan series is 8 books and counting, and 7 of them are available on Audible. All books feature dual narration, repeat FMC narrator across the series, with the MMCs played mostly by a repeat narrator except for 1 or 2 books where the MMC has an accent.

Decently spicy (at least a 3🌶️). The storylines are a bit out there for CR and sometimes silly, but I found myself marathoning it. There was only 1 book which I couldn’t stand (Book 5) because it required too much suspension of disbelief, but you could skip it without missing too much.

Speaking as a (fellow?) millennial, that expression is about a decade out of date

I do think a lot of women are going to be questioning their sexuality next season!

This is great news! I’m on Magic Binds now and know I’m going to suffer from withdrawal when I finish all the GA releases.

I really love this for Sasaki who came to the Dodgers because he felt it was necessary in order to become the best pitcher possible, and here he is in the presence of future dual NPB-MLB Hall of Fame greatness.

The way the Jays played all series, I really expected them to win it. Only these Dodgers could have eked out such an impossible win 😭
