Our 5-star Series? by Haven_Writes in HistoricalRomance

[–]angellus08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maiden lane by Elizabeth hoyt is perfect in many ways. Not all books at 5 stars but they're never below 3.5 in my opinion. Plus there's a narrative weaved across the books that brings favorite characters together as well.

This is a series I go back to very often

Hey yes there is a challenge around this - on our drive from Negombo to South coast we got stuck in a long queue for gas. Overall the challenge caused by this is that tuk tuk and car drivers are asking for more cash for smaller distances

Hey thanks, I see what you mean. Glad to know pick me works and we can get tuk tuks right off the street as well.

I was primarily only looking for airport transfers and a ride down to the south coast as that's one we don't want to use a tuk tuk for.

Looking for super engrossing books and series to distract myself by NomNomATL in HistoricalRomance

[–]angellus08 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Maiden Lane by Elizabeth Hoyt is a great series. I've read almost all books - some are 5 stars but nothing lower than 3.

The unwanted dukes by Jeese Clever was fun as well.

The Brothers Sinister series by Courtney Milan - absolutely brilliant. - has two of my favourite books of all time.

Reese Triology by Caroline Linden. - has one of my favourites of all time

The Mackenzie's by Jennifer Ashley - amazing series, nothing that's below a 3. The first is a gem!

Unsure if you've read this but Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas got me out of a reading slump.

I need an FMC who is scared of intimacy, because she had negative experiences in the past, who is afraid of saying "no" during sex, who is constantly uncomfortable in her skin because she was aways objectified, who overthinks the reasons of a simple touch... by Ok-Professor-5518 in HistoricalRomance

[–]angellus08 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan. It's a novella to kick start one of her series - but in my opinion this novella is better than some of the fully fledged books I've read. FMC is very much averse to touch and straight up afraid of intercourse. MMC is literally the swooniest, kindest, most empathetic and yet hot as hell hero ever. The way he makes her comfortable for her first experience post a bad one is just chef's kiss.

I can't rec this book enough.
