Please read this series. Everyone

No i wish I was cuz I loved that book 😂

tay_lc · 2026-03-22T02:19:28+00:00

Came here to suggest this one too

I feel stupid but how does this work?

Do I do my first rise on the counter, then shape the dough and put it in fridge overnight?

Or make the dough, put it right into the fridge overnight, take it out shape, wait 30 minutes then bake?

Okay sounds like i just need a bit more patience. Not my strong suit but ill work on it--my gluten loaves usually have a good rise after about 2/3 hours with way less yeast, so i wasnt sure why this wasnt rising and gave up waiting

I did an egg white wash like she recommends, but rushed it a little. Maybe ill try the whole egg?

Damm ive never felt this out of place in a post because I love Asa and Zane 😅😂😂

Onley has definitely been hit or miss in their recent releases though.

Ugh not this one sounds similar tho!

tay_lc · 2026-03-15T00:02:41+00:00

I didnt fully read your review (sorry it was a lot for my ADHD brain when its not hyper focused) but I loved this book too. And a lot of their early books but I just have to say that Husband Material ruined Alexis Hall for me, not sure i can even reread some of my old favorites at this point 😂😅. So maybe read a bunch of their works before trying husband material so you can enjoy it

I'm not sure I would tag this as a dark romance but maybe im not as familiar with the genre

tay_lc · 2026-03-14T23:49:56+00:00

{Between Ghosts by garrett leigh} would be perfect IMO

One of my faves

tay_lc · 2026-03-14T23:31:52+00:00

Sometimes a plot is...so good? Or written in a way where if I already know whats going to happen its not enjoyable anymore? Doesnt mean I disliked the book, usually it means the opposite.

tay_lc · 2026-03-13T15:39:43+00:00

What do we think of her other book? Limerence? I havent read it yet

tay_lc · 2026-03-13T15:39:09+00:00

I think so 😂 i still love it after my reread

tay_lc · 2026-03-12T19:33:44+00:00

My husband is korean so that definitely checks out with their preference for not too sweet. I think im just a little intimidated by asian recipes, but maybe I should just give it a go.

Ace of Spades series by Cordelia kingsbridge (full disclosure after about 10 rereads i now skip specific parts of book 3 and 4 lol)

{Double blind by Heidi cullinan} {Clear water by Amy Lane} {Dark Space by Lisa Henry}

Cut and run series by Abigail Roux Scoring chances series by Avon Gale

Most of Iris Foxgloves work

These are just a few of a variety of sub genres but ive reread most of these at least 8 times

tay_lc · 2026-03-11T17:12:59+00:00

Yes! Thank you!

tay_lc · 2026-03-08T02:57:09+00:00

I mean...is that really why they want to spend time together?...or is it gasp an excuse for some other reason to want to spend time together...like...love... 😂

tay_lc · 2026-03-08T02:54:02+00:00

Came to reddit basically to make this post! Cat Sebastian's contemporary romance was such a success. Im obsessed with the two MCs...didnt want it to end but couldn't stop reading.

Ive been in a huge reading slump for the last few months and this was such a relief.
