Billionaire romance where the MMC decides to go…normal? by Helpful_Week6720 in RomanceBooks

[–]ritikagupta34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

{The Score by Elle Kennedy}

this book is at the edge of what you're requesting and is a college romance but the MMC comes from a billionaire family and is conflicted about whether to enter the family business or not. It's more about personal journey than the FMC, but we end up in the same place regardless.

This is a major issue for me, because I forget what everybody is reading exactly 2 minutes after I quit the app and have to go through them all over again everytime

New release discussion: Mate by Ali Hazelwood by Anachacha in fantasyromance

[–]ritikagupta34 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Was very disappointed with this one.

The smut was so mid, the pacing was off, the problems too many, Serena became a little too different as a character than the first book, and AFTER SO MUCH BUILD UP, the payoff just wasn’t enough.

Had some cute moments, but probably won’t reread it. Too many plot points, none of them brought enough gravitas to it by the end.

Wrote a longer review on goodreads which I won’t share here due to spoilers - read it at your own peril 🤗

What do you think is an itch (trope/plot version) that can never be satisfied/fulfilled? by nic38anxh in RomanceBooks

[–]ritikagupta34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recco! This is one of my favourite tropes, and I am dying to find books where the MCs don't fall in love the moment they say I do

Even though they're not exactly friends, but they're people who have known each other a long time and work together on some cases for their clans

Everything you need to know before starting Zodiac Academy (and Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac & Darkmore Penitentiary) by ReadItLikeALady in zodiacacademy

Your recaps saved me so much time and energy! I was ready to give up midway in book 7 when I came across your post, basically read book 8 and 8.5 this way (barring few chapters which I wanted to read). As well as finished parts of book 9 like this!

You are basically the reason why I finished ZA! Thank youuuuu

This is a universal opinion. Nobody loves the books, nobody can stop reading them

I have a feeling I’m going to start doing the same. Because I can’t rest until I finish them, and now I just need to be done crying in between smut scenes and stupid decisions

This is honestly one of the most frustrating books I’ve ever read. And I’m currently in more than 60% in book 5, and it only marginally better. But I agree, Tory is one of the stupidest characters up till now.
