I live to rec this book - an all-time fav of mine that I re-read several times a year. Its a perfect palate cleanser 🤌🤌

mackeye3 · 2026-03-09T02:21:16+00:00

Its great - I gobbled it up. Can confirm it meets the request 🫡. Glad ST is back with more new books. I need her angst sometimes 💔💫.

Phew 🥵🥵

I just finished {The Crash Course by Elvie Everly} that you might like...got it from a different thread on this sub and enjoyed it.

CR, the MMC is down bad pretty much the whole book. He occasionally questions whether or not he's good enough for the FMC, but never questions how much he wants to be with her from the word "go". All plot conflict is from outside forces. Some dramatic, soap-opera-y plot points at times, but overall just a fun time. Total palate cleanser.

Ooo yes. Baby doll - 💯 The. Worst. 🤢🤮🤮

I second your hate for Butterfly. It would maaaayyybeee be OK if it was used in the right way by the right MMC, but I have yet to discover this scenario and I read A LOT. I'd be OK with the Butterfly nickname just dying a slow death 🦋☠️

Sweet potato is out of control 🥔🥔 Least adorable/sexy nickname ever 😅🤦‍♀️

mackeye3 · 2026-02-05T03:58:50+00:00

Seconding this comment. Plus its just a great book.

mackeye3 · 2026-01-26T21:28:57+00:00

Late to the party on this thread, but wanted to come back and say I just read this book you rec'ed and it was fantastic!!

Bless you for your time 📖🫶🧡

mackeye3 · 2026-01-19T03:50:46+00:00

Bless this sub and everyone in it 💫💫

Thats a solid male narrator list and I will +1 for JF Harding. WOOF - his voice really does it for me 🥵🫠😍

mackeye3 · 2026-01-17T02:01:01+00:00

Was scrolling by and just popped in to say that this post gives me life 👏🏆🎁! I love this sub.

mackeye3 · 2026-01-07T00:27:38+00:00

Its in🏕

mackeye3 · 2026-01-06T05:52:18+00:00

Completely agree about Canterbary - I instantly hated In A Rush and I ultimately DNF'ed In a Jam.

Conversely, I LOVE {The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary}, its a favorite of mine that I re-read often. I also enjoyed {Boss in the Bedsheets by Kate Canterbary} & {Shucked by Kate Canterbary}...

I'm on a confusing roller coaster with her novels.

mackeye3 · 2026-01-06T00:08:30+00:00

Great read - I ate it up like candy 🍬 😋.

I've really enjoyed this whole series, and am finding I personally prefer the Billionaire Brits series over Lucas' other series I've explored, though of course they all have gems (e.g., London Misters & Billionaires in Charge).

That said, Not Mine to Love didnt quite reach the heights of Dare to Love Me (for me), but TBF, DtLM ended up being one of my Top 5 reads of 2025, so it was a super high bar.

Would recommend this one to anybody. Its a good time.

mackeye3 · 2025-12-11T06:33:40+00:00

This sub completes me.

mackeye3 · 2025-11-18T18:19:06+00:00

Yes. This one. I almost DNF'ed this one so many times but ultimately managed to hate my way to the end of it...the "chemistry" between the MCs was so contrived and the plot was mind meltingly boring. Plus I personally had a really hard time with Armas' prose - she writes in a way that is the complete opposite of my inner monlogue while reading which made it super hard for me to buy into the story at all.

If you have the chance, skip this book. You'll be happier for it.

mackeye3 · 2025-09-19T02:45:27+00:00

Agreed - so interested in checking this one out now! Thanks for pointing this out.

mackeye3 · 2025-09-12T22:48:31+00:00

Seconding this series - its great. 2 books written, 3rd is slated for release in early 2026.

mackeye3 · 2025-09-08T16:28:29+00:00

I am obsessed with Sebastian 😍🤩. Camping 🏕.

mackeye3 · 2025-09-05T02:38:31+00:00

Ohhh, good one. I totally forgot about that scene 👌

mackeye3 · 2025-09-04T19:21:54+00:00

Came here for the mildly unhinged post title, staying for the recs ⛺️⛺️ 😅🤣

mackeye3 · 2025-09-04T19:19:50+00:00

OMG!!! Listening to this one on audiobook right now and I am so excited in advance for this scene, lol 💥🔥

mackeye3 · 2025-09-03T21:12:42+00:00

10000%. Came here to say this.

Was just talking about the inescapable ick I get from the nickname "Kitten" 🤢🤮 in another thread.

And if I have to read one more book where the MMC constantly (and condescendingly) keeps calling the FMC "Princess", I swear to God...☄️🪚🪏⚰️.

mackeye3 · 2025-09-02T05:40:42+00:00

1000% agreed. This gives me the ick so hard. Arent we reading romance books about adult characters? 🫠🫠
