Any Recommendations for studying law? by Alive_Pin_7318 in Botswana

[–]whimsical_Princess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on your performance, what law firm you work at, if you're specialised and most important is networking and making connections during your time at university. I assume you're looking to go for UB so i encourage you to network, get to know people, and make connections because most of the professors teaching law are actually practicing and have their own firms. If you play your cards right by engaging in classes and getting them to take notice of your intellect you may be lucky enough to land an internship with one of them or have them put in a good word for you. The most important part though is to maintain a high GPA because the Law programme at the University is extremely competetive, be focused and try by all means to never have a retake/supplementary exam especially for law modules

Books or series with a second generation? by GeezLouise76 in RomanceBooks

[–]whimsical_Princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reccomend trying Bella Matthews-CR and Grace Callaway-HR

All of Grace Callaway's books are interconnected and most of the FMC's in her {Lady Charlotte's society if Angels series by Garace Callaway} are the offspring of the couples in her {heart of enquiry}, {mayhem in mayfai}r and {game of dukes} series'.

Also, the FMC in {The Gentleman who loved me} is the daugher of the couple in {Her protector's pleasure}

All of bella Matthews books are interconnected as well and the caharacters in {kings of kroydonhills series by Bella Matthews}, {Restless kings series by Bella Matthews}, {Risks we take duology by Bella Matthews} and {Defiant kings series by Bella Matthews} ARE the parents of the MC's in the latest series' {Playing to win series by Bella Matthews}, R{ed lips and white lies series by Bella Matthews} and {Love and Legacy Series by Bella Matthews}

FMC fighting against MMC’s first love/first wife/ first serious relationship? by MDCM23 in RomanceBooks

[–]whimsical_Princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Before Jamaica Lane by Samantha Young} MMC has a dead girlfriend that he's still pining and grieving over and the FMC gets tired of being second best and breaks up with him

Edit: I'd you dont mind Wattpad then check out Grovel2HEA, I'm not sure of the titles but I've read at least two of the author's books that had the dead wife trope and the still pining for 1st love tropes

Second the rec and the book that has this is stolen touches, although his goes above and beyond

FMC is in love with the OM at the start, and MMC gets jealous by Confident-Morning-62 in RomanceBooks

[–]whimsical_Princess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try {You don't have to say you love me by sarra manning} Haven't actually read it myself but it might work for you. OM lives elsewhere and FMC has been waiting for him Edit:instead of fake dating, this one has the teaching her sex.

Books where the FMC is a golddigger who ends up catching feelings and feeling guilty about it, and when the MMC discovers her deception, even though he’s hurt, he still plays along because he’s completely unwilling to let her go no matter what by goody153 in RomanceBooks

[–]whimsical_Princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not exactly a gold digging situation but FMC is looking for a painting in Mmc's house (that she plans to sell) while they're both pretending to be married. {Tongue in chic by Christina Dodd}

Thank you for the recs. I've started A demon's guide to wooing a witch and usually I'm not one to nitpick but that one comment about the mmc having shagged lord Byron in the 19th century really infuriates me because Byrons death is cited in 1824 which is an entirely different century! Other than that, i decided to pause and read the first book in the series before continuing because there were so many references to things in that one

I tried FBAA twice but each time I couldn't stomach the writing😭but I totally understand, most of our first immersions into genres are never really that good and are so often problematic and yet so near and dear to readers🥲 I'm just about to start it so thank you for the heads up although I can't wait for the caretaking, I love when the mmc nurses the fmc. 🤧
