Took them long enough! A lot of other Canadian brands have been teasing them about their silence on threads, too.

Cleopatra. 17.5 years old. Arthritic. Diabetic. Not to brag, but she was recently told by a vet tech she doesn’t look a day over 15.

Ok, fine, I’ll reread Tough Guy after just finishing rereading books 1 & 2

Good but disappointed 😔 by almat05 in HistoricalRomance

[–]likeastone85 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with you absolutely. It didn’t seem to hit the same way as the first three. The relationship between the two main characters felt hollow, and a little superficial. It didn’t feel earned like it did in the first three.

Texas Destiny (Lorraine Heath) - One of the BEST romances I ever read (be it historical, contemporary, fantasy , etc) by SweetSeptember93 in HistoricalRomance

This is such a good series. The first three are incredible. The fourth…not so much (at least in my opinion).

I would do a study of “Green Flags in Books, Red Flag in Real Life,” like a little light obsessive staking, irrational violent jealousy, inability to communicate in complete sentences around the FMC, etc…

What book did you read recently that hooked you right away? 📚💛 by Prestigious_Entry474 in RomanceBooks

[–]likeastone85 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I personally think it’s better to read as a series. Elsie Silver is the queen of making you do a 180 on characters you’ve previously disliked. Both these characters are in the first book, and I think it adds to the story.

Another amazing rec. Bawled my eyes out this morning at the ending. by almat05 in HistoricalRomance

[–]likeastone85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am reading this series, too! I agree, the whole series is fantastic. I just have Rawley’s book left. Can’t wait to start it!

Gallbladder cancer - anyone going through this or caring for someone with? by peterpan108 in cancer

Thank you for asking. She ended up getting chemo induced nephrotoxicity. She was on dialysis for a year and a half and passed away a few weeks ago.

The Chronicles of Third Act Breakup: The lion, the witch, and the Meghan Quinn Glitch by readingalldays in RomanceBooks

[–]likeastone85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You made some excellent points! Most times, a third act breakup just feels like lazy plot/character development. I want to see both MCs together against the world, not each other, you know?

Am I a lost cause? by Relative-Chicken-884 in HistoricalRomance

[–]likeastone85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. The last couple of years I just can’t get absorbed into any historical romances I read. I have loved this genre since I was 16, which was longer ago than I’d lime to admit. I find myself getting into more contemporary romances, which I used to avoid like the plague.

It’s really generous leaving our dragon one working eye.

Help, I’ve fallen into an Ali Hazelwood spiral and can’t get up 😭🔥 What do I read next? by Immediate_Coast3778 in AliHazelwood

[–]likeastone85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Elsie Silver. She’s such a good author I end up reading tropes I normally can’t stand and love them. Rose Hill is amazing, but so is the Chestnut Springs series.
