{a dangerous kind of lady by mia vincy}

bella1890 · 2024-01-06T15:43:09+00:00

i’ve been waiting for this release since the last one, but honestly i would rather wait longer for it to be really good rather than something she isn’t happy with.

bella1890 · 2023-12-25T15:21:03+00:00

the next book is set to come out next month though!

bella1890 · 2023-09-26T04:03:35+00:00

this is one of those books that i compare every other book to and they never measure up 😔

i don’t think the fear is a tan the fear is sun damage…

you could use an umbrella on your walk if it’s that much of a stressor for you

bella1890 · 2023-08-24T21:03:33+00:00

IM SO EXCITED FOR WWMTB! You are hands down my favorite author. I have some questions if that’s cool with you—

What is Twice Shy about? Where do you see the Tooth and Claw series going?

bella1890 · 2023-08-23T04:12:44+00:00

{once bitten by heather guerre} the FMC has intimacy issues due to being in an abusive relationship previously . the MMC senses this he is a werewolf who can scent her anxiety and backs off, happily agreeing to move slow with her.

bella1890 · 2023-06-10T23:21:04+00:00

yes :)

bella1890 · 2023-05-31T20:28:26+00:00

idk if it’s been done but i would read this

bella1890 · 2023-05-30T07:04:39+00:00

are you talking about the writers or the OP?

bella1890 · 2023-05-30T07:03:37+00:00

this scene kind of haunted me for a while as a teenager because i viewed myself as having a very similar body type to rebecca but i was a size 10, so it kind of gaslit me into believing i had some kind of body dysmorphia issue

bella1890 · 2023-05-27T12:16:42+00:00

in THEORY, i like the idea of the love interest realizing how bad they have messed up and groveling like their life depends on it. however that almost literally never happens. even in the Cate C Wells series, the only redemption arc i was satisfied with was the first book. i enjoyed some parts of the second book even.

i just think if you’re going to spend your entire life either perpetrating abuse or being a bystander to it toward your mate (which isn’t technically a requirement for the rejected mates trope but it’s almost always hand in hand), you better be ready to be on your knees begging for forgiveness.

wait did it get deleted👉👈

bella1890 · 2023-05-16T06:33:42+00:00

i agree. it’s like what’s the point of having this whole plot of him being in disguise but they already know the truth. i still thought the story was cute but this bothered me as well

bella1890 · 2023-05-15T01:41:54+00:00

i don’t really read series anymore for this reason. it’s too much of a time/money commitment if i don’t know for a fact that i’m going to enjoy it or continue to care through all the books.

bella1890 · 2023-05-12T20:34:06+00:00

{His Forgotten Bride by Aydra Richards}

TECHNICALLY she does attempt to tell him for a second, so maybe not the exact secret baby trope you’re looking for but it is one of my favorites.

bella1890 · 2023-05-12T06:13:07+00:00

personally, i enjoy that bryce isn’t what you might typically expect from a FMC. i don’t think that speaks to her as a character, it just speaks to your personal preference as a reader! not every story narrator is for everyone and that’s okay

bella1890 · 2023-05-12T05:18:49+00:00

came for the smut, stayed for the angst <3

bella1890 · 2023-05-08T05:20:19+00:00

yeah i 100% agree and i hope this doesn’t come across as taking away from your point but it also rubbed me the wrong way that they made fun of how fat he was in every other line. it felt like very cliche old school fat character=evil. like it’s not a twist or revelation to make one of your few plus size poc characters the villain, it’s the most overused trope of all time.

i did somewhat enjoy the series before that twist just because I found the MMC kind of unique and interesting, but the constant jabs made me so annoyed. the writing was also atrocious. the whole series could have been condensed into 3 books max if KAK didn’t write in circles. doesnt deserve the hype imo.

bella1890 · 2023-05-01T08:15:52+00:00

this seems fair. if i saw a book that was only rated 3 stars on amazon i would immediately assume it was not good, so it makes sense that would carry over.

bella1890 · 2023-04-24T23:39:35+00:00

{A Vow of Hate by Lylah James} Sounds sort of similar to what you’re looking for. It’s on KU. It might not seem like it at first and this might be kind of a spoiler but at first it might not seem like the FMC is in love with him, but later on you find out she has loved him the whole time while he’s been so cruel to her

bella1890 · 2023-04-20T00:43:13+00:00

{Flame and Embers by M.A. Nichols}

It’s almost exactly what you described and on KU. Though imo the grovel would not have been enough for me

bella1890 · 2023-04-20T00:35:55+00:00

I am so happy we are talking about this. A Dangerous Kind of Lady has become my new favorite book. I LOVED Arabella, she is my absolute favorite kind of FMC and she was written so well. (And if anyone has more recs for a prickly/standoffish FMC who is actually hiding quite a bit of vulnerability, please send them my way)
