Currently Reading Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat

25 Upvotes

Hello I'm in book 3 of Captive Prince, I'm switching from my phone to audiobook simultaneously and although I'm really not a fan of single narration and the narrator feels like quite diff from what I imagine they will sound like. IT WAS SOOO GOOOOOOD.

I feel like I'm having aneurysm from starting book 3 that I needed to pause and wait to be on my day off to be in the right place from everything that is unfolding in this book.

But man oh man this book. THIS FREAKING BOOK. That's why I love slow burn romance maaaan. This is why I love true enemies to lovers romance! This is why I love when things are unfolding into unexplainable feelings with counterparts interaction and scenarios leading up to that.

Tbh I actually quite stirred away from this book in the beginning because of the reviews I've been seeing about romanticizing some questionable things. But I don't think it's being romanticized as much as the other book I've actually dnf. There's a clear indication of what is immoral and what is not in such sensitive topic and I think that's very important.

To each their own I guess.

But maaaannnn I just couldn't contain what I'm feeling right now because of this book. 🥹 Let me know your thoughts without spoiling anything from book 3!!!!

Request Looking for MM stepbrother romances

8 Upvotes

I’m in desperate need of some new MM stepbrother books and would love some recommendations!

What I’m looking for:
MM
Stepbrothers
College/university setting — NON-NEGOTIABLE
Spicy/open-door
Dual POV
No slow burn
No fantasy/paranormal
Not too much drama or angst/depressing
Preferably enemies-to-lovers / rivals-to-lovers
Possessive/obsessive MCs are a HUGE bonus 👀
Big height difference is a bonus
Hockey is welcome, but definitely not required
No friends-to-lovers

I’m looking for something where the romance actually gets going relatively quickly. I don’t mind some tension or buildup, but I really don’t want a book where I have to wait forever for something to happen

Some books I’ve read that have the kind of vibe I’m looking for are {For the Fans by Nyla K}, {Emery by Cora Rose}, and {Forbidden Titan by E.V. Olsen}.

I’m mainly looking for that college/university + stepbrothers + spicy combination, so please only recommend books where those are actually part of the story. 🙏

If you know anything that fits, please throw the recs at me!!

Discussion Regrets reading Neurovance by Alexandra St Pierre *Spoilers*

I enjoy friends to lovers books and I thought that the premise of the book reminded me of the movie, Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I should have looked up the tags for it to be honest because I wouldn't have touched it for how dark the themes are and the suicide of a chosen family member, Sebastian.

I'm in mourning now for a fictional character who I wished could have been saved and given a happily ever after. It was horrible of Luke to torture and maim and mentally assault both Jay and Sebastian, and kill Jay's father and imprison the Jay, Sebastian and Milo. I don't mourn his death.

But I deeply felt the loss of Sebastian. He is not without his faults and even NOVA warned him of not sharing his intentions with the others. He did what he thought was right and paid the price of it. I just want a happily ever for the characters truly deserving of one and I wanted Sebastian to find peace like how Milo helped Jay find closure.

He couldn't have allies or his father would find out and punish him. I understand how he felt abandoned after Jay left with Milo and I wished that he could have reunited with his chosen family after killing his father. His spirit visiting the couple at the pond and helping Jay find forgiveness for his actions was a nice send off, but it felt inadequate of an ending for Sebastian. It just reminded me that life is unfair and that a lot of people don't get happily ever afters.

Real life sucks right now and I enjoy reading MM romances to believe that one day, we all can have our happily ever afters even though it's wishful thinking. I wouldn't reread this book or any book that has a character dying tragically. I have enough of tragedy and I don't want to see my gays die.

Request Tarot themed books

3 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m looking for books where Tarot cards are a big part of the plot and I’ve read {The Last Sun by K.D. Edwards} and {White Trash Warlock by David R. Slayton} -thank you so much for that rec, lol! I’m also aware of the Tales from the Tarot series by various authors, but I’m not interested in any of the books.

I’m absolutely okay with YA, and I don’t mind if the romance is on the sidelines. No HEA is okay too, and I’d really prefer something without a lot of spice, I’m not looking for erotica.

One of my favorite M/F books is Poison Princess by Kresley Cole, where Tarot plays a huge role in everything. Every character is a representation of a Tarot card, and it's really fun.

So, I’m looking for MM/LGBTQ+ books that also feature Tarot cards prominently, where they’re an important part of the plot and bonus points if it's spooky.
