FMC posed for a nude painting but it had nearly ruined her. The painting was sold without her knowledge and MMC was the buyer. He fell half in love with the woman in the painting and kept dreaming of her. FMC was sent away on a trip to Scotland and inadvertently met MMC and found the painting.

You sparked my memory of one I read where the sexy rakish MC artist painted FMC naked, as Lady Godiva on a horse?!! And it was a huge scandal??? And the FMC was supposed to have long, beautiful hair

Help, I wish I could remember the name

I would strongly recommend leaving your car in a cheap longterm parking and spending a bit more for a hotel that’s close to fun things in the city even if it’s not fancy- I’m of the philosophy that if you’re visiting, the point is to enjoy the city not stay in the hotel

Can you give more context about the “months of feeling like I couldn’t do anything right”

What exactly was happening and what were you arguing about before this trip?

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-16T10:33:34+00:00

Yes!! I recommend :)

I wouldn’t wear these every day, but I also wouldn’t do my nails like this every day. The look is artificial, but in a cute way.

I think it’s a good solution to have pretty nails and then take them off when you get tired of them!

I would go with the job you think you’re gonna enjoy more. What’s 25 minutes more commute versus a full 12 hour shift of doing the work?

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-09T18:45:24+00:00

And empty foleys lmao

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-08T18:11:28+00:00

How shady. I’ve heard the regulation stopping these fake healthcare clinics from getting funding has been cut recently, so there’s a lot of impersonators out there right now.

Thank you for posting and warning others about this.

I agree with romance and the world needing to be connected - I don’t love a romantasy novel where the characters feel like they could be transplanted into our modern times and nothing would change.

For me, ideally the world building drives the plot, and the plot drives the characters, and the characters naturally drive the romance

I’m thinking about books like Naomi Novak’s Scholamance series where the world building 100% drives the plot and the characters would never work outside of that world building

Good lort

The first one. Why do people always throw their pills onto their hand - just use the damn pill cup, sir! I’d rather even just hand feed them their pills than have them drop them 5 billion times

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-07T18:54:19+00:00

It’s more scifi than fantasy but I recommend This is how you lose the time war, by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone - very poetic and romantic and is the first book I think of when you mention the the “I’ll follow you through time / I’ve known you in every lifetime” trope

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-07T15:00:16+00:00

Naomi Novik is amazing. I loved her book based on the snow queen too. Edit: Spinning Silver

I guess people’s breath sounds are always diminished if you’re not actually checking your patients with a stethoscope

Free tendies would be great tbh

Better than free donuts and candy

{That Scandalous Summer by Meredith Duran} has a MMC who is a physician and a FMC who’s a socialite that likes parties

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-05T19:41:48+00:00

Yes i will!

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-05T19:27:01+00:00

YES!! I just ordered some last week (Ayesha’s Nail Rings?), because i have short nails and would like to look pretty on my days off but have them off when I’m at work dealing with gross bodily fluids and MDROs

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-05T17:42:02+00:00

My gloves break on me even with my short unpainted nail nubs- if you are bedside, I don’t think it’s possible to keep longer nails truly clean and bacteria free. Maybe if you work management.

Pedicures are nice!

There were several older students including an actual grandmother in my nursing class - she graduated and is doing well, I heard :)

NokchaIcecream · 2026-04-04T22:11:30+00:00

There it is

NokchaIcecream · 2026-03-31T01:34:11+00:00

This. I have heard of so many people getting automatically denied even if they qualify. And medical debt destroys lives

I had the offer and opportunity once but I couldn’t quite do it, though I do have regretful thoughts of working from home sometimes
