Hockey Boy - Brittanee Nicole

-

 Oh the Langfield Brothers. Kings of sarcasm as a love language, ducking swear word replacements, and shenanigans that lead to true love. Of course it was time for Aiden Langfield to find his happily ever after and I am HERE FOR IT. Let's get in to it with Hockey Boy. 

Aiden and Lennox were high school sweethearts who ended abruptly and both of them... kind of gave up on the whole love thing. I guess they weren't all that over after all...

Which is even more evident ten years later when Aiden proposes to his long term, and really horrible girlfriend, and Lennox winds up as their wedding planner and after their first meeting he ends the engagement. POOF. Bye horrible lady! Seriously, every mention of that chick in the previously books has made my skin crawl... she was even worse than expected. Anyway, road block gone... he keeps up the facade of being engaged and keeps planning a wedding just to stay close to Lennox. Because that's the kind of insanity these boys do to get a lady. 

Does it work? Well it's a Brittanee Nicole book so, it does and in the wildest of ways. It's a fun ride with lots of drama and craziness. He uses her, she uses him, there's lots of delicious sexy time. Mostly though... I love the way they take the hard edges off one another. 

Lennox is so used to having to pretend to be things she's not to make her rich-rich-snobby parents happy and all Aiden has ever wanted her to be is the most basic version of herself. Aiden doesn't have to be the life of the party, happy go lucky, everything is sunshine and roses brother he is in public when he's with her... he can be the open and vulnerable and real. They take care of each other at their most core and base levels and I love that for them. 

I really hope we get more of the brothers and their insane texting and friendship and positive masculinity as she shows us the other players in the Boston Bolts series. They're my babies and I will miss them if we lose their nonsense all together just because they've all found their happily ever afters.

The Break Out - Madi Danielle

 HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO MADI DANIELLE AND THE BREAK OUT  the newest release in the Denver Dragons series.  I was *SO HONORED* to be an ARC reader for this book and I have read it twice. Once just to squeal and squee and enjoy once to make sure I did it justice when I wrote what I wanted to say about it.  Today when you get to meet Colton and Brynn there are a few things you should know.  He really is a grade-A jackhole. When Brynn says "It really is unfair that the universe decides to give a man that face and body, but his shitty personality" You will feel it with your whole chest along with her and yet ... you're still going to want him to ride you like he rides the mechanical bull.  Brynn is everything you expect her to be from getting pieces parts of her from Brents POV in The Hat Trick and so much more. You will want to protect her from being hurt by a fuck-boi but also know she is capable of doing that all her own - thank you very much.  So what ha...

On my Bookish BS

-
Hello there, nice to meet you, I am the writer of this BS. I am a 40 something, cis, bisexual, married female. I am a data analyst and former English major with too much time on her hands and a love of all things bookish.  I am in my romance, romantasy, smutty book era and I am loving it.  I'm doing my best to read more indie, queer, and minority authors. As much as I love SJM and Rebecca Yarros I know there's a whole world outside of that delicious mainstream bubble so ... yeah.  Some posts may be about just how incredible an author is. Some posts may be about tropes and themes that are awesome or really grind my gears. All posts will be book adjacent but may not be about just one book. Again, I am here for the vibes, I am on my bookish BS after all.  Hang out, meet some new authors, support them by reading something new with me, and enjoy. Or don't. This is really about me having an outlet. Cool? Cool.

Exile - Poppy Fitzgerald

 I was lucky enough to be an ARC reader for Exile by Poppy Fitzgerald and let me tell you... HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER GO READ THIS NOW.  We met the FMC of this book, Serena, in Poppys first book, Astray, where she was a police officer attempting to help Eloise when she was being stalked. Serena said she understood... and here we find out why. Serena is working at the local coffee shop and Dominick, a local officer, comes in every day and there's flirting. When they finally go out on a date she is so taken by his generosity and up front kindness that she overlooks the red flags like a blind bull.  But why would she want to see the worst in people when she was living with a sick mother, severe traumatic brain injury from the car accident that killed her father, and barely scraping by to put herself through college. She was due something good and here was a protective, generous, cop who was bound to protect and serve who wanted to give her the world.  Until everything go...
