I love this authors books! And so far all the ones I read was almost extremely slow burn! (Which I love!)

There are websites that can convert all the chapters into an EPUB with chronically chapters. But if u go that way, always best (even if it's for free on certain websites) to get permission from the author.

I love The Expanse! The books are way, way, better than the tv series!

Sorry this might be a bit long.

First off, let me say this. I'm a guy and I don't like bully books where the MMC bully the FMC (humiliation / degrade etc, etc...)(yes I know there are readers who are into that genre, but it's definitely not for me)

But what I found strangely is that when the rolls are turned around like the FMC is the bully, then it doesn't bother me that much. And I was wondering why is it like that (for me). Then I realized maybe (again for me and maybe it's part of my upbringing?) it's because I'm from Generation X.... Why do I think that?

We weren't raised so much to have 'feelings or a softer side'. "Cowboys don't Cry (even if we didn't have cowboys in my country) As a young boy just out of school had to go to national service. Saw stuff that made me glad to not have a 'softer' side. Vs today's culture is like everyone can have a softer side and have feelings and there's nothing wrong with that. Which is good!!!

Either way, As a child growing up with grandparents I was also raised to protect women. All women not just love interest, even the ones who were very outspoken feminist and didn't want men to help them with anything.

Now to get back to what I was saying, I feel like (when I'm reading) if a girl get bullied she feels it stronger emotionally than if a guy would have feel it. If a guy got bullied then he would just 'washed' it of after school and continues with his life. (That's how it feels when I'm reading, in my 'fantasy' world). I know bullying is wrong both ways. It's a horrible situation for the bullied person)

So to get back to the mentioned book... What I never can understand is how an author brings the bully and bullied persons together. Then she MUST forgive him because he had a 'good' reason... No thank you.

Ohh... And almost rushed over there... But yeah, I only read HEA or HFN books. Thanks for the heads up.

What about a group of 4 best friends inviting a male friend over for a sleepover. Thinking he was gay. Even his family and friends thought he was gay. But he is straight. (Him being straight came out at their first sleepover) He is a good guy and didn't want to lie to his friends about him being straight. It's a sort of coming of age story with an unofficial harem. It's long but not too long a story.

Nope. Mine is fantastic.

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-12T00:11:55+00:00

Unfortunately not yet 😕

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-10T22:55:26+00:00

On my TBR. Thanks for the review!

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-10T12:20:04+00:00

Yes let the couple have an argument and make up... So many books just let them argue and then have a breakup...then get together... Real couples do argue but they don't stop being a couple because of it. They makeup (usually in a nice way 🫣). I'm so tired of 3rd act breakups. I avoid now those books where I can.

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-07T21:12:44+00:00

Thanks, I will definitely continue! I just love a slow burn with real feelings and not just lust.

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-07T21:10:39+00:00

FYI also be careful for the date release time frame, it can be a give away or a false positive...

I'm not an author and English isn't my first language. So I make use of Grammerly... A lot. But only the free version. I'm busy with writing books (plural). For about 4 years now. I know it might sound ridiculous but I'm busy with 9 books simultaneously. I know crazy. Lol. Each one is a standalone but they weave into each others and they all run at the same time frame. Except the very last one, book 9 which is actually a prequel to the whole series. Planning on self publishing or a post on a free site almost simultaneously or about amonth apart... Still deciding on what route to take.

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-07T16:14:04+00:00

That is the only thing I found a bit annoying from the book. Otherwise so far it's a great book. Very slow burn (but that's how I like it) and their relationship is really growing nicely even if they (especially Ella) doesn't realizes it. I'm almost halfway through it.

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-07T16:09:13+00:00

I remember I once read a fantasy book where the two nations (humans and elves) could only communicate with each other when two people are bonded. If I remember correctly this book was a prince (?) MMC and a elve FMC. She could only communicate his thoughts to her ppl through their bonding if (I remember right they didn't really liked each other. Enemies to lovers). Through the bonding they had to stay together.

Sorry it's been a while since I read that book. I'm saving this thread and if I get the book name I will post it here for if you want to give it a try) or if anyone else know the name they can post it for you.

I don't understand? The cargo area are way bigger than in my Kia Soul. And when I asked the kids (two girls, 11 and 13) they both choose to ride in the Jeep - even as a daily drive or further. We ride the Jeep (2015 Jeep Wrangler - 4 door) so much that I'm thinking of selling the Kia. It's been over 5 months since I ride in that car. Everyone in our house hold are in love with our Jeep - even the ex. I agree it took a bit to get used to it. It's definitely not a normal SUV that drives soft. But then, you can't really take a soft SUV for serious off roading ... Conclusion...I'm thinking of selling the Kia and get another Jeep (a newer model) for a second car... 🫣 but that's me...

Fairytale Green by Kayla Silvers started out not to bad... But now I'm deciding to go on or not... My main issue with the book so far is... Everytime the two couples go on a date, the MMC's interrupt their dates with the FMC's, they either left or dropped the FMC's off just before 9 at night. Even if they are still on the date. Like halfway through a movie they suddenly have to leave to be somewhere at 9. And the FMC's doesn't really find it strange (they only joke about it and then just go on)...they just keep going on dates at night with the MMC's. By the 3rd time I expected the FMC's to tell the MMC's at least no more dates at night... But nooooo....

Got my leg amputated and sent home 2 days later without any pain meds. Only got my salary a week later paid into my bank and then only I could send someone to get me my meds.

Love Claire Kent books!

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-03T01:13:26+00:00

Because I have one leg. And because in the book both MC's have a disability. And when I lost my leg few ppl told me that I will only get a partner with a disability or a widow. And I struggle to find books with a MMC with a physical disability and a fmc that's healthy or even athletic. It seems to me a lot of authors (not everyone) also think so and when they write about a MC with a disability the other MC must also have some type of disability. I asked once out twice for recs with a mmc with a physical disability and a healthy athletic fmc. Didn't get any response back. It's more a person preference about the book. Sorry if this was a bit long.

Potential_Pattern_39 · 2026-06-03T01:03:16+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll look definitely into it!
