This book did something to me no other book has ever accomplished (make me cry over a ferret)

Not so much the very sad part but the accidentally writing a bunch that moved you emotionally

First up is In Bed with the Devil which is an excellent reminder how much plot Lorraine can pack into a romance. I forgot Dicken’s Oliver Twist actually exists in this world so now I’m wondering how that connects (I forget lots of details of most of these books tbh, my first read was a whirlwind)

I’ve recently learned the upcoming Lorraine Heath novel is a continuation of the Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James series so now I’m rereading both that and her Scoundrels of St. James series that preceded it. I binged these (in the opposite chronological order) a couple years ago

I’m a third of the way through rereading my book draft as I dive into more edits and my hero is giving Edward Cullen vibes in one very specific way that’s making me laugh m.youtube.com/watch?v=EKk1...

Donate to Rebuild Friends to Lovers After Fire, organized by Jamie Fortin UPDATE: Nov 19 This morning, I was able to tour the store and assess the damage mor… Jamie Fortin needs your support for Rebuild Friends to Lovers After Fire

Y'all: The GoFundMe to help Friends to Lovers, a romance bookstore in Alexandria, VA, is SO CLOSE to their goal of 45k!!!

They have to replace all of their inventory due to smoke damage after a fire that happened the day they opened (UGH).

Every time I see a post about historical romance dying I get sad because I know the romantasy girlies would love histrom if they only gave it a chance. Balls, fancy gowns, a different societal structure, occasional duels, morally questionable heroes. It’s all right there for them

Reading The Viscount and the Vixen by Lorraine Heath which has my absolute catnip in an historical, aka man marries woman he’s wildly attracted to thinking everything will be okay because he’s going to choose not to fall in love with her (he’s already halfway there)

Still thinking about Rupert Campbell-Black reading Taggie’s horoscope every day. RCB the man that you are

I just finished reading the book the other day and it was so great to see how well adapted it is. Also the show is only the first 2/3 of the rivals book so far so you will probably want to read it when you finish so you can get the rest of the story!
