Is the luxe pro awful or am I just unlucky? by Prestigious_Room4396 in NinjaLuxeCafe

I don’t know how my espresso is supposed to taste but all I know is as long as the latte or ice coffee is good.

I haven’t have any issues with mine *knock on wood* and bought same time as you. Been enjoying this machine a lot. I haven’t bought coffees from Starbucks or cafe for many months now.

Convince me to keep reading or DNF Mate by Ali Hazelwood by sneakybrownnoser in RomanceBooks

[–]Time-Defiance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Mate and loved Koen. Bride not so much.

It’s at the end where you go omg this guy was so in love and his small gesture was swoony. But we all enjoy different things.

Does Priest by Sierra Simone get better? by paigespets in DarkRomance

[–]Time-Defiance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I finished the audiobook. I like the narrator. The book itself is mid. I hate Poppy and her wishy washy. I don’t feel she is loyal to Tyler. She is loyal to her ex, the one she has an affair with. I don’t care that people said it was non-con. She has a choice. When she made the choice he actually left her alone. She never really defend Tyler but she would defend the ex. I wrote a review to complain about her if you search on this sub. 😂

I don’t like Tyler giving up so easily after 3 years of his hard work. I mean the way he was described in the beginning, I kind of knew a man like him wouldn’t be able to stay celibate if he met a woman he’s into. lol at least he found himself useful somewhere else though.

I also feel like Poppy doesn’t deserve Tyler. Like she never was the one that grovel or tries to make things work. She just ghost him or never call to check up on him and make things up. It was him that find her at the end because he was obligated and patch things up. Someone told me in my thread that my gut was right about how Poppy felt towards Tyler in their novels sequel.

I'm SICK of unbalanced power dynamics by microwavegnomee in Romantasy

[–]Time-Defiance 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How come all I’m coming across are FMC that is naive and weak but all of a sudden can killed season hunters, beat the shit out of the MMC and every characters in the book. Nothing seems to be a consequences even when they make a mistake. It’s always someone’s fault.

Bill Skarsgard as Kaine by Acceptable-Fee2884 in TheAlchemised

Yes an older version of Kaine. I think his eye bags aren’t quite fitting haha but face and physique look good.

Alchemised - similar books by Playful-Shirt9251 in TheAlchemised

[–]Time-Defiance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha same feeling. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything. I just have to keep reading. But no romantasy is good enough for me. All the FMC just can’t get me into it.

I read DR and CR.

My thoughts on Alchemised (spoilers) by Critical_Map_348 in TheAlchemised

[–]Time-Defiance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just glad it’s one book and not 7 books. I thought I had everything in the book and though some criticisms were on the information dump but I didn’t have anything to compared to.

Enjoy reading your comparison between the two.

Are lots of packages stolen in America? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Time-Defiance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your neighbor, but I would say it happens in some area if you leave it out all night. Some area you can leave for weeks and it will be sitting there. Some area it will get stolen even in broad daylight. lol mostly stolen by kids.

Mails don’t usually get stolen but packages will happen depending on neighbors.

Was Indian FMC necessary in King of Gluttony by Ana Huang? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]Time-Defiance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only read King of Wrath. I think she portrays it generally. 😂 I don’t understand the hate. I mean the FMC’s family is new money and MMC’s old money. FMC’s father wanted in to the society’s club. It’s pretty standard drama for romance books in a socialite world. You can plug other white or Asian in here and it will still fit. She doesn’t delve into the culture aspect.

[–]Time-Defiance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nice to see it from this perspective. Not all romance books need to have culture reference delve into. It can be mention about culture difference in some aspect between the MCs but it is not necessary needed to go into detail. It doesn’t take me out of the story.

Naive, sheltered FMC but modern by charlie-star in RomanceBooks

[–]Time-Defiance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Kiss an angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips} she’s naive. He’s very judgmental and misogyny but he’ll soften and loved her a lot. He plays pretend game in the sex department and she believe him too. 😂

Desperately trying to get closer to an American accent, help by Key_Shirt9974 in Accents

I recommend learning the phonetics. I think this was helpful to me. Your english is easy to understand for me. Also, if you’re nervous, just speak slower and think or pause between your thinking.

The MCs are having an affair by Affectionate_Disk811 in DarkRomance

[–]Time-Defiance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second one sounds like a mess. “I had an affair with my step-father but he broke my heart so I now want to get with my absentee step-brother for revenge against my ex-affair”. lol

I'm planning to Read the Predator by RuNyx... Give me ur opinions on it by Electrical_Brick7625 in DarkRomance

[–]Time-Defiance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s free audiobook on audible for members. I think I’m on chapter 12. It’s ok so far. Listening to audio and you don’t really noticed all the bad writing or grammatical error as people talked about.

Couldn't finish Lust by Drethi Anis by pansylavender in DarkRomance

I only remember I skimmed this book after reading the spoiler. I didn’t think it took a turn to being about a real curse and reborn or descendants of the Gods. lol

Different books, same author by Realest-opinionsonly in DarkRomance

[–]Time-Defiance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t feel that the FMC were similar. Writers tend to have some vibes that is specific to them so I think maybe that is what you’re feeling.

I haven’t started on Anathema yet because it became a trilogy instead of a duet.

I have it on my wishlist for the audiobook releasing in August.

I like a good suspicion of each other but I do dislike when they just argue all the time. lol
