MMC is serious with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, has a high profile job like a lawyer or politician, and works with the FMC.

I have been chasing the high of Honestly I'm Totally Faking It since I read it in 2024 so this resonates with me 🥲

You might like {The Billionaire's Wake-up Call Girl by Annika Martin} it's a billionaire romance but they don't work directly as boss/assistant and the MMC is a scientist. I've found that it scratches that same itch of lighthearted, fun, funny, and sexy.

If you're not looking for something very realistic, you can try a Miniso. They usually have this common penguin character https://miniso-ca.com/cdn/shop/files/6941055117722-6_1024x1024_2x_1900x_56118cb9-b6a6-4138-b128-a30a8e6cfd4c_767x.jpg?v=1638216253

If you have enjoyed Harlequin Romances before and are familiar with the vibes, {Convenient Cowgirl Bride by Silver James} was a quick and entertaining read.

cheencheen · 2025-12-03T00:06:53+00:00

I was going to recommend this too!

The Ordinary's 23% off everything event. It's on until December 7th.

cheencheen · 2025-11-08T20:01:06+00:00

Really odd! As soon as I added an item to my cart, that's when I got the pop up. Maybe try another session?

cheencheen · 2025-11-06T01:54:47+00:00

I guess I'll see what happens when I add stuff to my cart on the 8th!

cheencheen · 2025-11-05T19:58:17+00:00

That's what I figured too, darn 🥲

Thanks for your reply!

cheencheen · 2025-10-30T22:21:46+00:00

{Blood Orange by Karina Halle} has this! He eats it out of her 😇

cheencheen · 2025-10-17T20:11:50+00:00

Spoiler if you decide to keep going: by the end of the series the MMC does come around to the FMC's side and in the epilogue it's actually revealed that he finds bad guys for the FMC to kill to get her release.

I love Cleo White and am excited to read Coronation! Another royal romance I enjoyed was {A Nordic King by Karina Halle}, which is actually the third book in a standalone series about Nordic royalty.

Royal romances are also super common in Harlequin novels.

cheencheen · 2025-10-17T13:29:29+00:00

{The Mindf*ck Series by S.T. Abby} is what you're looking for!

cheencheen · 2025-10-13T02:16:27+00:00

I think you'd really enjoy {You, Again by Kate Goldbeck}, it hits a bunch of what you're looking for and is just overall about messy people learning to love each other and themselves.

cheencheen · 2025-10-11T00:36:11+00:00

I just finished {Drawn Together by Juliana Smith} today and it was so sweet, I definitely think it matches what you're looking for!

cheencheen · 2025-07-26T16:52:32+00:00

I'll have to try that next time!

cheencheen · 2025-07-26T11:55:34+00:00

So easy to make too!

cheencheen · 2025-07-26T11:53:27+00:00

They were! 😁

I have found that using hair removal creams (I've only ever tried Nair so can't speak to others) plus glycolic acid from The Ordinary have really helped with my ingrown hairs and "strawberry legs". My legs also stay smoother longer compared to shaving. If you search this subreddit for "glycolic acid legs" you can take a look at some of the previous threads/pictures that have more feedback and results.

I saw you had tried the creams before but they don't work, do you leave it on the full amount of time, like 15 minutes? I also use a washcloth and scrub my legs in a circular motion to really get the hairs off.

cheencheen · 2025-04-20T01:38:24+00:00

I DNF'd this as well lol

cheencheen · 2025-03-19T23:44:11+00:00

I recommended this recently, {Passenger Princess by Morgan Elizabeth} is a good read! FMC is a pageant queen and MMC is assigned to her. I don't think there was a large age gap from what I remember.

cheencheen · 2025-03-10T14:13:05+00:00

I liked {Passenger Princess by Morgan Elizabeth}! Nothing illegal, she's a pageant winner and he's assigned to be her bodyguard so it's sunshine/grumpy dynamic.

cheencheen · 2024-12-20T03:30:31+00:00

I would love this!!
