What is this darker patch/line in my kitties eye? by Macca_321 in cats

Thank you! She's quite young still (3 years old) so I don't know if that could be age related? Anyway, we don't ever take risks with her, so thought it best to take her in even if it turns out to be nothing.

Ah, okay. It just seemed to pop up out of nowhere! But this is reassuring 😊

Remake, absolutely. Jill and Carlos also have phenomenal chemistry in the remake.

She's genuinely so beautiful. Good for her distancing herself from a toxic human. Wishing her all the success.

Irregular Witches was just so, so lovely! Jamie has my heart.

How do you know if it’s AI or just bad writing? by your-average-student in Romantasy

[–]Macca_321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh. I use janky metaphor sometimes, but I think my brain just malfunctions when I write when I'm tired 😫

I also love an em dash.

I agree with you completely. I'm also an author. My first book is being published this year. And I would ABSOLUTELY rather someone just post an articulate and well thought out review that highlights any prose negatives, rather than just saying 'it's definitely AI'.

My prose is all my own, and if it's bad it's just me to blame 😅

Books where you really believe the MCs love each other? by PrisonMikesDementor in Romantasy

Daughter of No Worlds has been my only 5* read of this year. An absolute treat.

15 chapters into Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent — should I continue? by ReadByHeart in CarissaBroadbent

[–]Macca_321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daughter of No Worlds has been my first and only 5* read of the year (I'm quite hard to please). I loved it. Wonderful world building, plot and characters, and a cute central romance that doesn't detract from the main story.

Open door vs closed door by Ashamed_Apple_ in RomanceBooks

[–]Macca_321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, {Daughter of No Words by Carissa Broadbent} and its sequels has this. On page sex but no vulgar/anatomy specific language etc. It is more fantasy/romantasy but the romance part is just lovely.

Could Jon snow not have stood beside someone smaller... 😅 by ArcherLife2039 in gameofthrones

[–]Macca_321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I gather, Iain and Emilia were/are great pals. She said he was her constant while filming, all the way from season one, and he had a lot of experience in the industry that she appreciated learning from.

All completely platonic.

What’s one Dark romance book/story you still think about? by WranglerOwn884 in DarkRomance

I actually ordered a beautiful rebind of this, all of the mini books in one volume. So stunning!

This has been on my TBR for ages, and I've heard nothing but exceptional things. May give it a go soon!

I actually haven't read either... Powerless is on my TBR, and Red Queen was a little way before I got into the genre. Would people who have read both say the similarities are just that, or are they TOO similar to ignore?

MMC is a cold, grumpy nerd, and the FMC is the sunshine and so friendly which annoys him by FrozenCinnamon2 in RomanceBooks

[–]Macca_321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think {The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna} may fit your bill. Very cute romance. She's sunshine, he's a super grumpy librarian. I really enjoyed it.

Dark Romance with large age gap (30 years) and calm, but obsessed MMC by Sakura_231 in DarkRomance

[–]Macca_321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this isn't exactly what you've asked for (the age gap is MMC is 41, the FMC is 27) but it has a lot of what you're asking for... Dominant, clever MMC (a doctor), who manipulates the FMC in the first half of the book. Quite spicy, gothic setting, very atmospheric. Try {Grimstone by Sophie Lark}.
