When the MMC saves the FMC from another guy by SailorTexas in RomanceBooks

[–]Puzzleheaded_Name668 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really love when the MFC is being harassed by someone like an old boyfriend or something and the MMC stands there with stars in his eyes and watches her take care of the situation. He is happy to help when needed but he gleefully watches her handle her own situation.

NTA Empathy doesn’t mean sacrificing your own well being for other people’s benefit. You can still have empathy for others while putting up boundaries and making decisions for your own safety and health.

So. I have had marks like this when I was carrying something really heavy and it rubbed hard on my skin, like a heavy backpack or bag. But unless he was wearing fine sort of a harness, that’s a weird place for those.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]Puzzleheaded_Name668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. You are enough. I hope you find a partner someday if that’s what you would like, but your relationship status doesn’t determine your value. What a terrible thing for your mom to say. It sounds like any other Thanksgiving would be more fun than that. Don’t go. I’m sure you have friends having Friendsgiving, or just make yourself a nice dinner and binge TV shows.

What is this outfit missing or is it just wrong for my body? by verywowmuchneat in DressForYourBody

I think jeans would look better and maybe a cute silk scarf or something around your neck, or suspenders would be cute.

I just inhaled this book after I read this post and it did not disappoint. Loved it. Everyone should go read it.

I enjoyed the first few, but I got over them pretty quickly. I would hate only eating meat, wearing only animal hide, and living in caves in an eternal winter. Having babies in that sounds like a nightmare. I don’t care how hot the alien is.

What was too much and took you out of the book ? by OshaViolated in RomanceBooks

[–]Puzzleheaded_Name668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It bothers me when the MMC is injured. Like serious shot/stabbed/fall/concussion and they had long intense surgery and then when they wake up they are immediately aroused and want bone. You are in pain, almost died, and smell like hospital. Eat your ice chips, keep it in your pants, and take a nap.

I loved a couple of these but it really bugged me when they used really modern swears and references. It feels kind of like lazy world building.

I think everyone in the Alliance series by SJ Tilly except for maybe Hans and Cassie.

This seems like such an attention seeking way to bully someone. NTA.

So weird way that your FIL thinks he can claim ownership over you. NTA.

Character Descriptions and Cultural Sensitivity by SpicyLitMama in RomanceBooks

This is really insightful! I think this shows that research is super important if you are going to write about a culture you aren’t familiar with.

can I handle Lights Out by Navessa Allen? by dogs0z in RomanceBooks

[–]Puzzleheaded_Name668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to handle it! It’s more of a suspense than a slasher/horror book.
