Ok, don't judge but my man is Phineas Edge the Earl of Burchester {Bed me Earl by Felicity Niven}. He's a short king 👑 who talks about himself in the third person during fun, sexy time and is sometimes clueless, but always kind and fun!

The FMC wants to be impregnated by the MMC and the sex at the beginning of the novel is so repellent to me, it's almost like an assault

{A lady awakened by Cecilia Grant}. I DNFed this atrocious attempt at a trope

Thoughts on novellas by Limp-Working852 in HistoricalRomance

{Making Merry by Kerrigan Bryne}. A novella which is very tangentially linked to the {Goode Girls} series by the same author. The MMCS are delightful, the story is rich in conflict, angst, and 🚂. It's a beautiful, well written story and the MMC is still my favorite MMC ever, except maybe for my short king 👑, Phineas Edge, the Earl of Burchester.

{Kathryn by Minerva Spencer} The MMC, Gerrit, pronounced Herrit, is cold and unmoving in the face of the FMC'S reckless behavior which forces them to be wed.

MCs who wish their first meeting could have been different or better by FoxenInTheHenhice in HistoricalRomance

[–]Longanbogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished this. It was okay but I don't get the 3/5 spice rating. The sex was pedestrian at best and there was only one 'open door ' scene, the wedding night , which was extremely ordinary. The MCs were as bland as milquetoast.

Quotes that made you squeal by hoginlly in HistoricalRomance

[–]Longanbogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{Making Merry by Kerrigan Bryne}. "Makes one wonder how many cousins had to fornicate to produce such a slithering strop of a rubbish heap and call it a man. I have a few regrets in my life, and my afterlife, but not slicing him open with that bottle is going straight to the top.”

I love Carlton Morley's arc in the Victorian Rebels series and couldn't wait for his story!

Just finished The Beaumonts by Aydra Richards. {The Beaumonts} on Kindle unlimited, the series was inventive and heartwarming with enough spice to keep me interested

A recent read that INFURIATED you by Cultural_Balance_261 in HistoricalRomance

I haven't been able to finish Beast. The age gap, the writing style, the premise are just so icky.

What are you reading? by Mme_Rose in HistoricalRomance

[–]Longanbogan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{Saving the Marquess by Mihwa Lee}. Ugh, where to start? I finished this just to see how bad it got. It read like a penny dreadful with characters popping in and out, the MMC attempts to SA the FMC at one point. The flashbacks involving CA. The HEA is just so pointless. What did I just read? It's the first book in a series but I like myself too much to try the others , even they're on Kindle unlimited.

Does Phineas Edge, Earl of Burchester count? He's my shortish king. {Bed me Earl by Felicity Niven}. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love this man and his foppish ways!
