Il Duca migliore di tutti è....
Sull’onda del successo della serie tv I Bridgerton in onda su Netflix, tratta dai Romanzi della serie Bridgerton di Julia Quinn che io amo tantissimo, ho deciso di lanciarvi una sfida. Nel Romanzo Il Duca e io, la cui trama è al centro della prima stagione del telefilm, la Quinn dipinge un personaggio davvero affascinante con Simon, il Duca del titolo appunto. Un personaggio che dopo aver conquistato milioni di lettrici ha ora conquistato anche milioni di telespettatrici.
Io stessa ho sempre trovato molto attraente il personaggio di Simon, ma nel genere romance esistono tantissimi altri Duchi belli, aitanti, e carismatici, forse addirittura più di lui, e ogni lettrice ha il suo preferito. Perciò in questo post vi elencherò i miei duchi del cuore (più quelli di alcune mie amiche di cui ho chiesto l’opinione) e vi chiederò di dirmi i vostri nei commenti.
Qual è il Duca migliore di tutti? Non credo saremo in grado di decretarlo, perché sono davvero tantissimi. Ma sarà divertente provarci.
Non scandalizzatevi troppo se nella mia lista noterete delle gravi assenze, non volevo fosse troppo lunga e non volevo mettere più di un Duca per autrice. Inoltre, ho anche scelto di inserire solo Duchi presenti in libri disponibili in italiano, lasciando stare quelli ancora non pubblicati nel nostro paese.
Magari questa lista vi sarà anche utile per scoprire nuovi romanzi che ancora non conoscete, se vi state approcciando solo ora al genere dopo aver visto la serie tv i Brigderton.
I miei Duchi preferiti:
Tumblr media
Titolo: Mio Duca
Titolo originale: What I Did For a Duke
Autore: Julie Anne Long
Serie: libro n. 5 della serie Pennyroyal Green che narra le avventure della famiglia Eversea in 11 libri tutti pubblicati da I Romanzi Mondadori
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/3nfdFlv
Trama: Per anni Alexander Moncrieffe, duca di Falconbridge, ha suscitato paura e al contempo fascino, ma di tutto ciò che si mormora una cosa è certa: solo un pazzo oserebbe mettersi contro di lui. E quando Ian Eversea ignora questa cautela, Moncrieffe sa come vendicarsi: sedurre l’innocente sorella Genevieve per poi abbandonarla, rovinandole così la vita per sempre. Tuttavia la giovane lo sorprende per la passione e il temperamento, anche sapendo che Moncrieffe nasconde un passato oscuro. Così come sa che cedere al desiderio che lui ha risvegliato significa giocare col fuoco. Ma quando a comandare è il cuore…
La mia opinione: Non è un caso se l’ho messo in cima alla lista. Il Duca di Falconbridge forse non sarà il Duca più affascinante di tutti, ma il modo in cui scopre cosa significhi essere innamorati nonostante si creda troppo esperto e troppo maturo e troppo cinico è veramente dolcissimo e realistico. Questo è uno di quei romanzi in cui già solo un bacio tra i due protagonisti è in grado di trasmetterti più emozioni di latri 10 romanzi messi insieme.
Tumblr media
 Titolo: Il duca di ghiaccio
Titolo originale: Slightly Dangerous
Autore: Mary Balogh
Serie: libro n. 8 (il conclusivo) della serie Bedwyn che narra le avventure dell’omonima famiglia pubblicata da I Romanzi Mondadori
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/3rSxqTj
Trama: Il glaciale e solitario Wulfric Bedwyn, duca di Bewcastle, ha visto i suoi fratelli e sorelle trovare l’amore e sistemarsi. Tuttavia non ha alcuna intenzione di emularli. Alla morte della sua amante si sente però improvvisamente solo e accetta un invito a un ricevimento, incontrando una schiera di dame che fanno di tutto per attirare la sua attenzione. Tranne una: Christine Derrick. Non più giovanissima e vedova, Christine ha comunque una vivacità e una carica sensuale che Wulf non riesce a ignorare. Eppure, nonostante l’inevitabile e corrisposta attrazione, lei rifiuta di diventare sua amante, e sedurla sarà per il “duca di ghiaccio” una sfida da vincere a ogni costo. Al punto di rendersi conto di non poter più fare a meno dell’amore…
La mia opinione: Non potevo non annoverare Wulfric tra i miei top, il duca di ghiaccio per definizione, eppure al tempo stesso un personaggio così articolato e pieno di sfumature, sotto quel ghiaccio. Se Il Duca di Falconbridge in età matura scopre l’amore e scopre un nuovo lato di sé, Wulfric, sempre in età matura, lascia finalmente libera una parte d sé che sapeva già di avere ma che aveva soffocato per badare ai fratelli e sa benissimo cosa vuole e chi vuole.
Tumblr media
 Titolo: La pedina scambiata
Titolo originale: These old shades
Autore: Georgette Heyer
Serie: può essere considerato il primo romanzo della serie Alastair-Audley, in quanto si tratta di 4 romanzi legati a una data famiglia
Editore Astoria
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/3rTJfIY
Trama: Nell'aristocrazia inglese del secondo Settecento un solo uomo può fregiarsi del soprannome di Satana: Sua Grazia il Duca di Avon, bello, acuto, elegante e assolutamente privo di scrupoli… soprattutto nei confronti del sesso femminile. Ma il ruolo che impersona con tanta convinzione comincia a stargli stretto quando, per una serie di incredibili circostanze, prende al proprio servizio un giovane paggio… che presto si rivelerà essere un'affascinante e imprevedibile fanciulla, minacciata da un crudele personaggio. Satana si trasforma così nell'Angelo vendicatore, compiendo con grande astuzia le sue mosse su un'infida scacchiera.
La mia opinione: Il Duca di Avon non poteva certo mancare di essere tra i miei tre primi duchi preferiti, poiché lui è il prototipo a cui tutte le autrici di romance dopo la Hayer si sono in parte ispirate per i loro duchi. Lui così maturo, cinico, debosciato, che ha provato ogni vizio sulla faccia della terra, alla fine si scopre affezionato a una ragazza giovane e vibrante che lo ama così innocentemente e totalmente, e senza timore, nonostante tutti lo temano. Immagino abbiate capito dai miei primi tre libri della lista che preferisco i duchi maturi agli sbarbatelli, ebbene è così.
Tumblr media
 Titolo: La figlia del matematico
Titolo originale: Flowers from the Storm
Autore: Laura Kinsale
Pubblicato sia nei I Romanzi Mondadori che nei Romanzi Emozioni Mondadori
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/38hLbmZ
Trama: Maddy Timms è una giovane riservata che dedica le sue giornate alle opere pie e ad aiutare il padre, insigne studioso di matematica. Christian Langland, duca di Jervaulx, è un dongiovanni e geniale scienziato amico del vecchio Timms. Potrà mai nascere l’amore tra due persone così diverse? Eppure, quando Maddy viene a sapere che Christian è morto in duello, viene colta da un dolore lancinante, inaspettato. Trasferitasi in campagna presso un cugino che dirige un manicomio, fra i ricoverati trova proprio Christian, fatto rinchiudere dalla famiglia. Ora tocca a Maddy, l’unica che sembra credere nella sua sanità, aiutarlo a dimostrare di non essere un pazzo. E scoprire con un brivido un modo nuovo, più pieno, di essere donna.
La mia opinione: Come non mare i personaggi della Kinsale? E’ impossibile. Stavolta abbiamo un duca in grave difficolta, fisicamente e mentalmente che deve essere salvato. Non un personaggio tutto d’un pezzo che rifiuta di piegarsi, ma un uomo in ginocchio che scoprirà di poter trovare la forza di rialzarsi in quell’amore in cui lui non credeva. Importante ruolo ha anche la fede in questo libro e cosa significhi dedicarsi agli altri anche a scapito di sé stessi.
 Dopo la mia Top Four, passiamo a dei duchi sempre di alto livello, e che mi piacciono, ma leggermente di meno dei primi quattro perché sono più normali e meno straordinari.
 Titolo: Un matrimonio d’affari
Titolo originale: The Duchess Deal
Autore: Tessa Dare
Serie: Libro n. 1 della serie Girl meets Duke composta da 5 libri di cui i primi 4 sono già stati pubblicati da I Romanzi Mondadori
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/3b61yEV
Trama: Emma Gladstone rappresenta alla perfezione quello che l’arrogante duca di Ashbury sta cercando: una donna in età fertile, di famiglia rispettabile, bisognosa di denaro, e soprattutto disposta a condividere il letto con un uomo orribilmente sfigurato. Dal canto suo, Emma, figlia di un vicario dell’Hertford shire, è pronta a tutto piuttosto che tornare strisciando da suo padre. Ma quando la ragazza si presenta all’improvviso nella dimora di Ashbury, rivendicando ciò che le spetta per il suo lavoro di sarta, qualcosa d’imprevedibile travolge i loro sensi, tracciando un solco profondo nel cuore indurito del duca…
La mia opinione: Lui all’inizio è un tantino bastardo, ma poi si scioglie come un budino e la trama è interessante. Questo è uno di quei casi in cui una buona trama arricchisce di molto un personaggio, rendendolo più affascinante di quello che è, probabilmente.
Titolo: Il velo della notte
Titolo originale: The veil of the night
Autore: Lydia Joyce
Serie: Primo libro della serie Night pubblicato da I Romanzi Mondadori
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/38kmfLF
Trama:
Lady Victoria Wakefield è decisa a preservare il buon nome e la reputazione della famiglia. Battaglia persa contro lo scapestrato fratello Jack, il quale ha contratto debiti enormi con lord Byron Stratford, misterioso duca di Raeburn. Un’unica possibilità per Victoria: andare di persona da lord Byron e convincerlo a concedere una proroga dei pagamenti. Ma da un’accoglienza fredda scaturisce una controproposta tanto oltraggiosa quanto irresistibile: che Victoria passi un’intera settimana insieme a lui.
La mia opinione: Duca maturo con un grave difetto fisico in cerca di redenzione e di qualcuno che lo capisca dopo una vita difficile. Come non amarlo?
Titolo: L’ultimo libertino
Titolo originale: The last hellion
Autore: Loretta Chase  
Serie: Quarto e ultimo libro della serie Scoundrels pubblicata da I Romanzi Mondadori
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/3rY4Ako
Trama: Vere Mallory, duca di Ainswood, il più grande libertino d’Inghilterra, ha dissipato la giovinezza fra alcol e belle donne in una spirale che sembra condurlo al baratro. Finché un giorno due occhi di ghiaccio trafiggono i suoi: sono quelli della bellissima Lydia Grenville, indomita giornalista che si è messa al servizio dei più bisognosi, donne e bambini dei bassifondi. A Vere è sufficiente rubarle un bacio per percepire la passione che si cela in lei, in apparenza fredda e misteriosa. Ma Lydia non può permettersi di cedere alla seduzione di quell’uomo impossibile, fermamente intenzionato a vincere la dura corazza che si è costruita nel corso degli anni. Se solo riuscissero a superare i loro intimi turbamenti, potrebbero finalmente schiudere insieme la porta della felicità…
La mia opinione: Come non mettere un Duca di Loretta Chase in lista? Impossibile, scrive troppo bene. La mia scelta è caduta sul Duca di Ainswood, classico libertino che verrà riformato dalla donna giusta, ma che libertino!
 Titolo: Le malizie di un Duca
Titolo originale: The Wicked Ways of a Duke
Autore: Laura Lee Guhrke
Serie: secondo romanzo della serie Girl-bachelors pubblicata da I Romanzi Mondadori
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/3ogmRr5
Trama: Prudence Bosworth conduce una vita modesta ma dignitosa, lavora come sarta e interviene ai balli dell’alta società solo per realizzare i piccoli rammendi dell’ultimo momento. È durante una di queste serate che incontra Rhys de Winter, l’affascinante duca di St Cyres, l’uomo più bello che abbia mai visto: l’uomo dei suoi sogni. Ma irraggiungibile per una ragazza come lei. Tutto però cambia quando Prudence, alla morte di quel padre che non ha mai conosciuto, si ritrova unica erede di un’immensa fortuna. E la corte che Rhys comincia a riservarle sembra solo una coincidenza…
La mia opinione: Lui è bello e impossibile, e poi diventa possibile. E ancora più irresistibile. Fascino a non finire qui, perché lui ci sa fare. Seducente.
 Titolo: Duca dei miei peccati
Titolo originale: The Duke of sin
Autore: Elizabeth Hoyt
Serie: decimo romanzo della serie Maiden Lane
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/2Xiy6TP
Trama: Bridget, figlia illegittima di lady Caire cresciuta in una famiglia di contadini, si è fatta assumere come governante a Hermes House dove intende cercare le prove per incriminare il padrone e famigerato duca di Montgomery, Valentine Napier. Val, affascinante e privo di scrupoli, tiene sotto ricatto buona parte dell’alta società londinese, tra cui la madre di lei. Sorpresa a rovistare nella sua camera, Bridget riesce a esercitare sul duca il fascino della sua purezza e bontà d’animo, e sceglie di rimanere al suo fianco per redimerlo. Nel turbinio della passione, anche l’inflessibile duca scopre sentimenti capaci di sfidare tutte le convenzioni…
La mia opinione: Poteva mancare un Duca veramente bastardo in lista? Certo che no. Valentine è privo di scrupoli e pieno di difetti, ma super hot e il libro è veramente avvincente. Passionale.
 Titolo: Una moglie in arrivo
Titolo originale: What a Gentleman Wants
Autore: Caroline Linden
Serie: Primo libro della Reece family series pubblicata da I romanzi Mondadori
Trama: Marcus Reece, duca di Exeter, ha passato la vita a tirare fuori dai guai suo fratello gemello. Ma invece di ringraziarlo, quello arriva addirittura a falsificare la sua firma su un certificato di matrimonio! Così Marcus si ritrova in moglie la vedova di un vicario, la prima persona che nella sua tranquilla vita gli fa perdere le staffe. Dal canto suo, anche Hannah è furiosa con sè stessa: cedendo alle lusinghe di un gentiluomo che conosceva appena, è ora maritata a un perfetto sconosciuto. Suo malgrado, è costretta a fingere almeno fino a quando Marcus non troverà il modo di liberarli da quel vincolo. Ma presto si accorgerà che quella finzione non le pesa affatto...
La mia opinione: Trama classica con un duca in trappola, un Duca tutto d’un pezzo integerrimo e corretto. Ci voleva anche un duca così in lista.
 Per concludere la lista ho voluto aggiungere due ultimi Duchi un poco speciali:
Titolo: Bewitching Una ragazza incantevole
(precedentemente pubblicato col titolo Joy la strega)
Titolo originale: Bewitching
Autore: Jill Barnett
Serie: Primo libro della serie Regency Magic
Genere: Historical romance paranomal
Pubblicato prima da I romanzi Mondadori e ora autopubblicato dall��autrice
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/3nh1sga
Trama: Joyous Fiona MacQuarrie ha stregato il Duca di Belmore appena è apparsa dal nulla e lo ha steso… letteralmente. Quando l’orgoglio di Alec lo porta a sposarla, la giovane sconvolge la vita di questo serissimo e altezzoso duca inglese. Joy è una strega scozzese che non sempre riesce a controllare i suoi poteri magici. Ben presto la vita di Alec piomba nello scompiglio. Questa bellissima ragazza incanta chiunque gli stia intorno, accende la sua passione quando la bacia, ma rischia di causare uno scandalo mai visto con i suoi poteri magici.  Stregati dalla passione, questi due cuori solitari sono i classici opposti che si attraggono in una storia irresistibilmente divertente e tenera
La mia opinione: ci voleva anche un libro ironico e un po’ magico in lista secondo me. E il Duca qui presente prima duro e freddo, resta affascinante sia da ghiacciolo, che da uomo innamorato.
 Titolo: La stirpe
Titolo originale: The iron duke
Autore: Meljean Brook
Serie: Primo libro della Iron seas serie
Editore: Newton Compton
Genere: storico romance steampunk
Link acquisto: https://amzn.to/38fs6Sr
Trama: Londra, diciottesimo secolo. Rhys Trahaearn è diventato un eroe nazionale dopo aver liberato l’Inghilterra dalle orde dell’esercito asiatico. Ma il potere lo ha reso un uomo freddo e calcolatore tanto da fargli guadagnare il titolo di Duca di Ferro. La detective Mina Wentworth non avrebbe mai pensato di avvicinarsi a lui, ma durante le celebrazioni per il trionfo inglese viene ritrovato un cadavere proprio all’interno della casa di Rhys, e tocca a lei condurre l’indagine. Quando Mina scopre che quel corpo appartiene a Roger Haynes, comandante di una nave della Marina Reale, capisce che forze molto più potenti delle truppe asiatiche stanno tramando contro il suo popolo. Inizierà così, per la giovane detective, un viaggio infernale attraverso terre infestate da strane creature e oceani insidiati da terrificanti mostri. Ad accompagnarla sarà proprio l’affascinante Duca di Ferro.
La mia opinione: Un Duca tormentato dalla colpa, ma deciso a fare di tutto per redimersi e diventare degno degli onori che ha ricevuto e della donna che ama. Un eroe che lo diventa veramente solo quando capisce che è disposto a sacrificare tutto per gli altri. Un personaggio fantastico, che se non fosse stato per il fatto che è un Duca fuori dai generi, e soprattutto fuori dal romance, sarebbe stato molto più in lato nella mia lista.

we are an appless, oc, discord-based roleplay, set in leavenworth, washington - a very real, teeny tiny town, with very made up people. we are semi-plotless! our focus is plot events and activities that encourage relationship building and social interactions, collaboration with other writers that ultimately makes the rp juicier and more fun for everyone.
there is no character cap in effect
activity checks are minimal
we are lgbtq+ friendly, and poc-friendly
ping us with your questions, or click here to hop on our server: https://discord.gg/eAbvJGtdPf
---
psst. have you heard? we’re looking for some characters and wcs! all fcs below are suggested. all character details are utp.
new year, NEW MAYOR! replacing beloved mayor hubbard, who has served 35 and some odd years now, is a woman on a mission. she’s on the younger side, but she’s got ideas, and she wants to shake up the way town council handles its business. it’s time to drag leavenworth into the 21st century. or at least go paperless. suggested fcs are TESSA THOMPSON OR LUPITA NYONG’O. ---
they’re serving, and they’re protecting - although truth be told, the worst the local FIRE AND SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENTS have to deal with is a burning barbecue in the summer, snow storms, or drunk teenagers lost in the woods: — sergeants and deputies include: ZACH ROERIG, JAMIE CHUNG, and CONOR LESLIE — fire chief: IDRIS ELBA — fire fighters: STEVEN R. MCQUEEN and MIRANDA RAE MAYO — paramedics: CHARLIE BARNETT and KARA KILLMER ---
it’s not just a tourist town! there’s a permanent population of 2000 in leavenworth, and their kids have to go to school somewhere and be taught by somebody. suggested fcs include: — KERRI RUSSELL — EMILY DESCHANEL — TOM HOLLAND — ANTHONY MACKIE — DANIELLE ROSE RUSSELL ---
it’s a war of the BARS. in one corner is nellie’s, a bar in the basement of a pizzeria near city hall, and definitely a locals-only hole in the wall. in the other corner? the thirsty elf, with its tiki santa cups, and little paper umbrellas in all the drinks, it’s definitely geared toward the tourists: — owner of nellie’s: TAYLOR KINNEY — nellie’s staff: EMERAUDE TOUBIA and DIEGO BONETA — owner of the thirsty elf: HARRY SHUM JR. — the thirsty elf staff: CHANCE PERDOMO and CAMILA MENDES ---
rumour has it a REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER from the big city has been spotted in town, snooping around. he and that fancy LAWYER he’s been toting around can’t be up to any good. — real estate developer: HENRY GOLDING — lawyer: CANDICE PATTON ---
speaking of law. whatever your legal needs might be, they can be met by the good folks working at the local LAW FIRM: Hubbard, Washington, Parker & Associates: — managing partner: EWAN MCGREGOR — partner: GEMMA CHAN — paralegal: ALEXANDRA DADDARIO — receptionist: JANEL PARRISH ---
the various colourful characters who call leavenworth home, we’d love to see them more often: — ARDEN CHO, a veterinarian at the local animal hospital — CHRIS PINE, owner of the local garage — JASON MOMOA, a fisherman back in town for the winter season — SAM HEUGHAN, owner of a winery just outside of the town limits — TOM HARDY, boxing instructor and owner of a gym

THE BARNETT FAMILY 
A family defined by blood spilled, by oath-forged bonds and legacy.  A family that reveres its history.  (Long af ad under the cut)
The Barnett family are descendants from a long line of supernatural creature hunters whose illustrious history included being the guards and hunters of royalty and defenders against the bloodthirsty beasts that would terrorize their people. 
Leona Barnett and her family carry on this legacy. 
The Barnetts are hunters of the supernatural. They consider themselves protectors, safeguarding people from the dangers that lurk just outside their doors, that creep amongst the shadows in the woods at the edge of town. Specifically, they are hunters of vampires and werewolves. They still maintain that these creatures are dangerous and cannot exist peaceably with humans. Since the reveal that supernatural creatures exist and magic is real, they’ve doubled down on their mission with the intention of getting rid of these monsters before some hapless human in search of a little adventure gets themselves killed.
The family is currently seeking out the Cerbero pack and have slowly trailed them to Arizona, following the death of Leona’s husband.
The family consists of: Jacob Barnett (Chiwatel Ejiofor, 43) - Deceased
Leona Barnett (Thandie Newton, 47) played by Rose 
Proper, cultured, a professor of mythology currently taking a sabbatical, searching for her missing husband
Super devoted to her family
Considers lofty ideals like “legacy” and “honor” and “duty” to be incredibly important
---- Tomlinson (Suggested Face: Tessa Thompson, 36) - Sister
Whereas Leona is a hunter out of obligation and duty, the younger sister of the family carries on the tradition out of a genuine love of the hunt. She is a skilled tracker - perhaps the most talented one the family’s seen in generations. Once she finds her prey she is merciless and unstoppable. She’s essentially the “cavalry.”
---- ------     (Suggested Face: Michael B. Jordan, 33) - Boyfriend or Husband
He could have gotten into the family business as a hunter OR he can have no idea what his significant other and her family are up to 
Either way, he is scientifically inclined and got along well with Jacob. He is a chemist by trade and could either knowingly or unknowingly provide information and “goods” to the rest of the family.
(Honestly the gender of this character is up to whoever takes it, I just love that one photoshoot of Tessa with Michael.)
The Kids:
Leona and Jacob Barnett have three children whom they spared no expenses on. The children were all afforded the finest education and were encouraged to pursue their varied interests. They are all undoubtedly bright and despite their personal differences, the siblings are very close. The family as a whole is extremely tight knit.
(The two younger Barnetts can be fraternal twins, if whoever takes them wants to go that route.)
The Oldest, mid/late-20s, Suggested Faces: Maria Borges, Leomie Anderson, Laura Harrier
Most like her mother
Classic “oldest child” syndrome - she’s a perfectionist and can be bossy but ultimately wants what’s best for the family
Has a bit of a cruel streak she hides well
The Middle, early/mid-20s, Suggested Faces: Reece King, Keith Powers, Brian Whittaker
Smart as a whip and is a devastating underachiever
A social media influencer who uses his travels and contacts to seek out leads for the family’s hunts
Is not taken as seriously as he’d like to be by the rest of his family
Has never held down a real job :c
The Youngest, early/mid-20s, Suggested Faces: Zendaya,  Kiersey Clemons
The prodigy, a gifted hunter like her aunt
An athlete and (though she says she loves all her children equally) pretty obviously her mother’s favorite
A risk-taker with a bit of a temper

p (with some examples/recs!!) and s :)
Thank you! 💚
P - What kind of music I like:
My taste in music is very random and sort of all over the place. But I definitely find myself enjoying pop music and soft rock the most, with the exception of Queen, cause I ADORE them. 
some recs: Kid Krow - Conan Gray (it’s his first album, just came out! absolutely amazing!), Bloom - Troye Sivan (album), Youth - Troye Sivan, Crush - Tessa Violet, Don’t Blame Me - Taylor Swift, Leave a Light On - Tom Walker, anything by bastille really (Doom Days, Pompeii, The Things We Lost in the Fire), Need A Little Time - Courtney Barnett, Peach Scone - Hobo Johnson, Tobacco in My Sheets - Lauren Aquilina, Killer Queen and Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen...
S - 2 habits:
I always have to have my sunglasses with me, be it the rainiest day in history, I just always have to have them on me. And whenever I work out I have to have Friends playing in the background, I don’t know why, but it makes working out easier lol
ASK ME!
