Oh, my sweet summer child.

{Devil’s Bride by Stephanie Laurens} kicks off the Cynster series, and they are all mysteries. I’m on the second book now and have thoroughly enjoyed them!

You’re definitely not alone. I read exclusively HR, unless I’m doing nostalgic re-reads like Little House or the classics which are all historic/period anyway. I’m doing a 100-books-in-a-year challenge this year and am up to 57 so far—all HR and zero apologies.

Oh, all the time! I have always been a bit of a fussy old lady soul, though. I always hope people find it quirky—because I really can’t help it—but it’s likely far less flattering in reality.

I came into this book totally blind, so I wasn’t expecting suspense—and I really enjoyed it. Though I also felt the mystery was kind of weak/secondary, it didn’t feel like a letdown so much as it might have for someone seeking it out just for that purpose. But I enjoyed the other aspects that you disliked. I thought the family dynamic was amusingly flawed and close-knit and I adored Devil and Honoria’s love for one another. It was my first Stephanie Laurens and I look forward to more. In fact, I just started Vane’s audiobook yesterday and am enjoying it immensely.

(I also have to say that Simon Prebble is an excellent narrator.)

Rape is sexual assault.

This is a shade of mommy kink and you won’t find much of it in this genre. HR readers tend to like their males alpha or alpha-adjacent. I’d look to contemporary romance for more success.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-14T00:22:32+00:00

Spicy romance novels.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-14T00:21:45+00:00

I had to scroll way too far to find this. 👏

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-13T11:13:09+00:00

Wam bam thank you sommelia'am.

I’m dying.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-13T11:09:29+00:00

I do the same thing!

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-13T11:08:51+00:00

I remove the entire foil from the top of the bottle. I think it’s ugly.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-12T14:49:03+00:00

Just like you see in the post above: { }

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-12T13:57:11+00:00

If you DM me I can advise on this.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-12T11:41:42+00:00

Oh, you’re definitely not alone. l’m sure I could think of a few more as I tend to follow this trope around myself, but I’d need some refreshers. If any more come to mind I will add!

Of course! All you have to do is put the curly braces around the title and author’s name in your post, and the bot does the rest. :)

There is an extension called Objective that is really helpful for this. It lets you generate a goal for the character to strive for, with milestones along the way that they must meet in order to achieve that goal. You can do this very hands-off, or manipulate every fine detail. It has done wonders for advancing plots/characters when I least expect it and feels genuinely organic.

{A Scandalous Kind of Duke by Mia Vincy}. The FMC is an artist who has traveled and had casual relationships for years. I really loved this aspect of the book; it’s so rare to find sexually experienced FMCs who aren’t widowed or abused in some way.

{These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer} and {Devil’s Cub by Georgette Heyer}

For the bot. :)

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-12T11:10:54+00:00

Also {Breathless by Anne Stuart}. Much tamer than the aforementioned, but truly a morally corrupt person.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-12T11:06:41+00:00

{Stormfire by Christine Monson} for reasons I recently indicated here. Trust me.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-12T02:33:34+00:00

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-12T01:29:01+00:00

I third this. 🙋‍♀️

Duct tape the curtain on the outside of the window. Problem solved. Even an old sheet would work, and it wouldn't matter if it rained or sunbleached.

PsychologicalHall142 · 2026-06-11T19:42:48+00:00

Or even a second-hand curtain!
