On My Bookish BS

 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...

Let me say first, Rebecca Kinkade is one of my favorite follows on Threads . She's just nice, and fun, and delightful, and I love her energy. So I was so excited to love this book so much.  Streams and Schemes is a neighbors to lovers, super spicy, rom-com about a cam girl and a lawyer and their absolutely ADORABLE friends.  While I love the romance here, I love the found family aspect of this story more than just about anything. I want to be a part of the guys friend group, the girls friend group. I just want to be friends with every character in this book.  Valeria is a cam girl who has been eye fucking her lawyer neighbor, Lander, for a year but refuses to approach him because her hard limit is ... no lawyers. Which I can respect. Standards are important, ladies.  That of course lasts only a short while until it doesn't and they begin the sexy war of wills and sexy schemes transpire to see if they will give in to the heat between the two of them. And of course the...

I stumbled on the writing of Shain Rose due to an instagram post about Shattered Vows and I was like ... interesting. So, then I had to read the Tarnished Empire series because you can't start a series in book three, obviously. I am so glad I did. Now I have read every book she has in print and I am so glad I have. I may have read her series out of order but they're all worth a read and all... delicious. So, lets talk about them. First up is the New Reign Mafia Duet , Heart of a Monster and Love of a Queen . Here we meet Rome Armanelli and Katie who share a dark and twisted history and a romance that is ... unconventional? Let's go with that. Kate-Bait is one seriously bad ass bitch who goes from victim of sex trafficking to queen of an empire. Rome, Bastian, and Dante and the entirety of the mafia? Kind of along for the ride.  Next up, let's go over to the Stonewood Billionaires trilogy.   This is where I really started to fall in absolute LOVE with Shain Rose. Trul...
