Praise indeed. ๐
29.10.2025 17:59 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Amongst the winter debris
Russet and frost-gilded
The #turning leaves of autumn
Are thawed by golden sunlight
And in this dearth of summer
My lacewing heart has frozen
Each beat a painful strike
Will you wrap your arms around me
To stave away the cold?

Of bones and waspish words
A darkening in her soul
Where all light ceases to shine
A #resolution in her mind
Love is not hers to have
#vss365
Itโs in your smile
How your hand softly brushes my skin
The warmth in your eyes
Poignant desire in every kiss
My name whispered in the dark
Moments that #prompt my heart 
To fall deeper for you
#vss365
A moment of peaceful #solitude
Where barbed words
And sharp retorts are left unsaid
Not lonely, yet all alone
Each quiet second
Held gently by my heart
And in this calm, still place
Inside my head
I find my way to you

It finally arrived! ๐ฅณ Thank you for the lovely inscription, Lucy. ๐  It's now with my other copies*, right next to me, with a gap for the German 'The Hot Henry Effect' due next June. My favourite authors all together!

Each thought grows restless
#Propagating like wildfire
Twisting, turning
A relentless march
Wind blown and scattered
Until each corner of my mind
Is filled only with you
#vss365
Is it the way you look at me that inspires my #devotion? Or how my pulse spikes when I hear your voice. Maybe itโs because my smile involuntarily matches yours, or how I simply melt in your arms.
Itโs all of this and more, something uniquely you that touches my soul. #vss365
I thought I knew the #parameters of my heart: cold, incapable, unworthy. Yet you have lit a fire in me like no one else has.
I thought I needed space, solitude, a million years to heal. But all I really needed was you.

And damaged hearts collide
When weird minds connect
Like long-lost friends
And desire slips from whispered tongues
A craving burns in mirrored eyes
Uncertain love hangs in the air
Am I yours, are you mine?
There can be no sweeter word than #yes

Ah! Thank you so much. โค๏ธ
Iโd better get writing the next one and hope it gets a book deal.๐๐ฌ๐ฅฐ
I just reviewed Fundamentals in Flirting by Lucy Chalice. What a great second book in the series! Fierce Hannah & sweet Teddy were perfect together. Out now, go buy it! Looking forward to seeing what's next from @lucychalice.bsky.social โบ๏ธ #NetGalley #BookSky ๐๐ www.netgalley.com/book/416653/...

Or let them know
Splintered thoughts
Like broken bones
Kept inside
Where darkness hides
Yet a sweet caress
Like balm upon my tortured skin
And soothing words
Could heal this heart
Itโs you, just you
A spark to warm my withered soul

@lucychalice.bsky.social has written a wonderful second novel - Fundamentals in Flirting - full of humour, poignancy, warmth and a touch of spice. I can't do it justice in a short post so I thought I'd borrow someone's idea and post my Amazon review.
Her first book was great, this is better! ๐ฅณ๐ฏ
Lucy Chalice sure knows how to write a #hotnerd. A cute slow-burn read with an mmc who falls first & an fmc in denial who eventually comes around. Both this and the second book are for sale now! #NetGalleyReviews2024 #BookSky ๐๐ @lucychalice.bsky.social www.netgalley.com/book/309293/...
