Want to read a Modern Romance set in NYC with snark, sass, heartfelt healing, survivor rage and super spicy smut? Like the idea of a SA survivor meeting an Alpha Hero and learning to reclaim her body and her freedom, while inspiring him to open himself to love and tenderness?
Nora’s violent past has kept her from enjoying the city she loves and opening herself to new people and love. She has barely left her apartment. Can Sam’s elite military training and dedication to security help her get over her triggers? Will they find romance as they both heal? Can their rowdy group of friends be the family they crave?
I’m using all my favorite plot devices and conversations from the Gwynriel fics I’ve posted on AO3 for the past year (In the Name of Science, On My Radar, Bookclub, and When Do I Get To Be Ready) and writing an original work. Follow me as @vbburdick on Instagram to meet Sam & Nora, see moodboards, answer polls for names and details when I get stuck, help with playlists, see snippets of my favorite dialogue, and writing updates. If you’re a fan of my fics or meeting me for the first time, I would love some encouragement while I try to make this dream a reality.

Continuing our conversation about Bright Bananas on the Romance Tree — this week we’re reading an extreme oldie, Anne Stuart’s Tangled Lies, famous for being a story about a heroine falling for her brother…except he’s not really her brother! It’s a RIDE. We talk about just how odd romance could be back in the day, about how this book might be an ancestor to dark romance, and about how alpha alpha heroes could really get. And then we talk about modern contemporary romance and how things are changing in traditional publishing.
S03.40: Tangled Lies by Anne Stuart - Who Flies in White Linen?!

Mr. Wicked by Marni Mann is now live!
An alpha billionaire dedicated to no-strings pleasure. A woman committed to changing his wicked mind. Together they ignite a steaming-hot romance by the USA Today bestselling author of Mr. Hook-up.
Grayson Tanner has had better days. Coming off the successful international launch of
Hooked, the hook-up app he cofounded with his two best friends, and a night with one of the sexiest women he’s ever met, he’s now in a PR nightmare. A video of him has gone viral—a toast to the indulgence of bachelorhood. It’s a bad look for the creator of the app’s marriage arm. As memberships plummet amid a media firestorm, his PR firm has a new narrative to quell the flames: Grayson has to get married. Fast.
Hello, Jovana Winters—social media influencer and Grayson’s former one-night stand. The one-night stand he has yet to move on from mentally. Their immediate connection is undeniable. In front of the camera, they’re charismatic and passionate, and social media is calling them the It couple. But off camera, Grayson doesn’t trust women or believe in commitment.
Jovana is the opposite, a believer in love who knows what she wants. Now she’s on a mission to turn this fake marriage into the real deal, even though she’s hiding the biggest secret of them all.
But with a man like Mr. Wicked, it won’t come easy.

My Review
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is one story that had me falling hard and fast for the dirty mouthed, sexy as sin, wicked hot, single, playboy, billionaire, extraordinaire Grayson Tanner. Who is all about the one and done approach to dating! No relationships for him. He is one of the inventors of “Hooked” an online dating app that promises to match you up with your perfect partner…depending of course what you are looking for.
Grayson is a man who doesn’t believe in commitments or marriage. So when he sees a sexy, beautiful waitress named Jovana, he goes after what he wants and that is her, in his bed, one night only. Never expecting to see her again. But when Jovana is the one leaving, earlier than he planned, with her middle fingers in the air. Grayson is left feeling and denying…the chemistry and the passion that had been between them.
But when a video goes viral of Grayson toasting to bachelorhood with six single ladies, he becomes a PR nightmare as his dating app tanks. So to correct the problem his partners and PR company force him to solve the problem he created. Grayson will need to change his narrative. He will need to find love and get married and that had him coming right back to Jovana.
This is Grayson Tanner and Jovana Winter’s story and I couldn’t get enough of these two!
Can Jovana be a wife in a fake marriage to Grayson for a year? She wanted him. She was deeply, attracted to him. And she was falling more and more every time she was with him. But can she change a man who didn’t want or believe in them? You will need to read to find out!
Mr. Wicked had it all, witty banter, immediate attraction, heat, chemistry and a powerful alpha man being brought to his knees by an equally powerful female. It had me smiling, my heart racing, and a thousand butterflies taking flight in my stomach. I swooned so hard for these two and fell hopelessly in love cheering them on! I can’t wait for the next book in this series!!
I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

thinking tonight about the bruce wayne that went through horrific trauma and decided he would never be unprepared again, that he would prevent as much pain as possible from occurring to others in the future. the bruce wayne that saw a boy who had been orphaned, recognized his rage and his hurt, and decided to help however he could. the bruce wayne that looked at a kid jacking his tires and wondered if he could use something to eat. the bruce wayne who doesn’t know how to leave well enough alone. the bruce wayne that started keeping lollipops in his tool belt to calm down and distract kids. the bruce wayne who loves his city fiercely, who wants things to be better than they are and fights to make them that way, both day and night. the bruce wayne who funds social programs and leads with compassion whenever he can. the bruce wayne who wants his kids to be happier and better than he is. the bruce wayne who doesn’t work alone, who’s best friends with superman. the bruce wayne with routines and habits and plans and backup plans. the bruce wayne with layers. the bruce wayne who is awkward and paranoid and angry and protective and traumatized and loving and strong and brave and relentless. the bruce wayne who is so, so imperfect, but loves, even when a part of him wishes he wouldn't.

Pine River by Tijan is now live!
Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me.
And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy.
Except they weren't alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him.
Scout Raiden.
Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing.
He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up.
The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.
It was lust-want-must have-loathing-hate all at once. I was affected.
And I couldn't have that. No way.
Not after what I'd just left in Cedra Valley.
I didn't care how much money his uncle had.
I didn't care that it seemed every girl wanted him.
I didn't care about his reputation as an up-and-coming fighter.
Or the promise of how those hands would make me feel.
What I did care about was staying as far away from Scout as possible.
Because the promise of his presence, the heat that was going to turn the light back on in my world wasn't a promise at all.
It was a threat.
I wasn't going to survive Scout Raiden.

My Review
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Addicting, emotional, engaging, sexy, raw, angsty, and it brought all the feels! I couldn’t put this multi-romance trope down. I was consumed with this beautifully, written story. Their back story will bring you to your knees, because these two have not had an easy past. But then fate brings them together. And their sassy banter, dark looks, hate filled rage is just so exhilarating as they fight their magnetic attraction. They are both so perfect for each other, and I think that is why their attraction is so overwhelming. The secondary characters bring so much to the story and I enjoyed getting to know all these new characters and their friendships/relationships as well as their interactions and their loyalty to one another.
Ramsay Williams and her mother moved to Pine River for a new start and to be closer to family for support. Leaving the past in the rear view mirror as they try to push it from their minds. Starting her senior year at Pine River High School, Ramsay had her protective, triplet cousins at the top of the school hierarchy to stand by her. But what she didn’t count on was him, her cousin’s hot, best friend, Scout Raiden. But she needed to blend in so, she needed to stay away from him. Not just for her sake but for her cousins as well. She would have to fight her feelings to survive his attraction, and she wasn’t so sure she could. She hated him, but she wanted him so, so, bad!
“He was right. We were enemies. I needed to remember that.”
Scout Raiden was the epitome of a bad boy, tattoos, muscle and a broody attitude. He moved to Pine River a year ago, to live with his Uncle, when he first started getting noticed by the UFC. He was a MMA fighter, that every girl wanted and every boy wanted to be. But Scout only cared about fighting, training and his friends. But when Ramsay Williams his best friend’s cousin, starts at his school, he knows she is off-limits, and he needs to stay away from her, or it could cost him everything. But what happens when their hate starts to turn to lust? Will Scout be able to stay away? You will want to read this one to get all the details!!!
“I’d had no idea I needed his touch so badly. I thought I knew. I’d been wrong. So very, really wrong.”
I loved watching them fight their feelings until they couldn’t anymore. Their sizzling connection was…dark, powerful, but full of warmth, tenderness, magic and love, helping heal the broken pieces in each of them. It was exhilarating and consuming! I loved every moment of their journey! Highly recommend this story!
I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

CHANGE OF HEART [O!Bakugo Katsuki x A!Male Reader] PART THREE
Tumblr media
Of all the possible reactions Katsuki could have expected from you after telling you he loved you — this was not one of them. You just…stared at him. Not even a flicker of emotion crossed your face as he told you. You could at least scream at him, hit him, kick him out of your house for displaying such behaviors as he had in the last 12 hours, yell at him and tell him all those things you must really think of him. Or you could hold him like you did last night in bed, whispering sweet things in his ear as he laid his head on your chest to calm him down, kiss him and tell him that you loved him too. It would be your first kiss with him if you did.
He missed a lot of firsts that the two of you could have had if he hadn’t been such a stubborn teenager. Your first kiss when to some girl in the technical department at UA, that was 9 months (not that he was keeping track) after he rejected you and all he remembered about that day was the omega in him wallowing in grief when he heard about it from Denki. He shifted nervously from foot to foot.
“Bakugo” you spoke softly, your face finally tuning into some sort of emotion - pity. Your eyebrows scrunched together. No - no please don’t look at him this way. Please, don’t tell him no. “You don’t love me.” He was confused - he had to be. This was the same man who slammed his door in your face with no remorse after spitting your feeling back in your face. You weren’t good enough. He basically said it.
“Yes I do.” He confirmed, trying his best not to let his voice waver as he did so. He did this wrong. He shouldn’t have confessed in such a way. He needed to get you a courting gift - something as thoughtful as the one you had got him. He let his emotions get the best of him last night he should have planned this out. But you’re a good Alpha - more than that you’re a good man. One day an omega is going to come by, maybe even the one from the bar, and allow you to sweep them off their feet and it’s going to be over for him. It will be too late. “I know that I was a whirlwind of emotions last night but please, know that I do love you. I’ve loved you for years. And I miss you so goddamn much it hurts. It’s hurts me to even think of a possibility that, one day, you will be with someone who isn’t me. Please don’t dismiss my feelings like that.”
You don’t think you have ever heard Bakugou say please this many times in your entire life. The omega was frantic, hands shaking as they reached out to you, gripping the front of your shirt like it was a lifeline. Like you were gonna turn around and sprint out of your own kitchen. Tears were welling up in his eyes as he stared up at you.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered, shoving his face into your chest and letting out a distressed smell. “I’m sorry for rejecting you then, I’m sorry for the things I said, I’m sorry for the things I did. This is me reaching out to you now, please don’t pull away from me again.” He was full on sobbing now. You were holding up Bakugou’s in your arms to stop him from collapsing on his knees in front of you.
You didn’t know what to do, how could a random lady giving you her number trigger Katsuki like this, was it a omega thing? It didn’t matter now. What did he mean pull away? He rejected you - he didn’t want you around. He didn’t want you. You slowly backed your weight against the wall behind you - Katsuki only held on to you tighter, probably thinking your were trying to escape his grip. He whined.
He. Fucking. Whined.
Your grip on the omega tightened as you slowly slide down the wall, landing to sit on the cold tiles with him between your legs. He was spiraling. Bakugo continued to repeat “I’m sorry”s into your chest. It felt like a fever dream. Yesterday morning you hadn’t seen Bakugo in a good month - even your last interaction was a brief hello in an elevator. How long had he felt this way? Did he actually love you or was it some affect of his omega instincts because he saw competition? He said he’s always loved you. You took your right hand and gripped the base of his jaw, forcing his head up to look at you. His face was a mess of snot and tears, he looked absolutely miserable.
You peppered little kisses here and there on his face, doing your best to wipe his tears away but the just wouldn’t stop coming. You started purring. The hand that griped his jaw moved his face to the side, giving you access to his neck. There you started to scent his glands, kissing and sucking on them as you did so. The sobs from the omega in your arms started to get few and far between. God, you felt like a kid in high school again, that was the last time you had scented this man, or got to hold him in your arms. You had been so in love with him then. You still were.
You whispered in his ear, confirming what a good, strong omega you thought he was. You whisper that everything is going to be okay - even though you had a lot to talk about with each other. It took Katsuki 20 minutes in your arms for him to muster up the courage to sit up by himself. He looked at you with a red, tear stained face. His scent had turned from sour to sweet during your little session on the floor. All you did was stare at him, stroking up and down his thighs in a soothing manner as you waited for him to speak.
“Don’t leave me again.” He told you.
“I won’t.”
___
A/N: Well. I guess I’m a liar because I kept telling everyone this story was finished. I couldn’t leave it on a cliff hanger like that and I wanted Bakugo to be happy. This is not edited because it’s 10:00pm and I needed to write this before my burst of energy faded. Published 3.22.23
Edited 1.15.24 DAMN THERE WERE A LOT OF TYPOS GUYS WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME.

alpha!reader x omega!kiri or omega!izuku
hehhehhe
ARCHER. ARCHER. WHY MUST YOU KILL ME.
Omega Kirishima is just 😫🙌🙌
𖤐He’s so fucking adorable; he absolutely adores his mate’s scent and insists on wearing his mate’s hoodie whenever he isn’t in uniform. He’s the type of omega that you have to do a double take at since his masculinity trumps his omega status. Despite his love for all things manly, it’s quite easy to make him purr.
𖤐Just a few gentle circles to the back of his neck is enough to send him to dreamland, clinging to you like a muscly koala. Even just a small smooch to the forehead is enough to make him purr rapidly, slightly chubby cheeks pinkening as his pupils expand.
𖤐I imagine his scent is quite soft and earthy, like a rainforest in a light shower. He used to use scent patches during middle school to cover it up, before ditching them to embrace his secondary gender. When he’s frightened or angry, he smells like a bad thunderstorm.
𖤐He accidentally nests A LOT, but in a kinda unconventional way? Like, instead of blanket forts (which he does have), he likes objects from you. Kiri loves using stationary and objects that you give him, even if your scent is nowhere to be smelled. We all know the man isn’t exactly Einstein, so it’s confusing af to walk into his room for the first time to see a small collection of pens near his bed.
𖤐Cuddles are this man’s crack. He adores sitting on your tummy facing your chest. Kiri could sit like that for hours; you pumping out a comforting scent as his bright ruby eyes blink slowly, until he nestles against you and falls asleep, purring like a kitten.
𖤐His heats can be a mess; if it’s his first ever heat and he has no idea when it’s gonna crop up, it can be very anxiety-inducing. He NEEDS his alpha to hold him and soothe him during this vulnerable time. Play with his hair, nibble his mate mark and rub his nose with yours and man is just ready to melt in euphoric bliss.
𖤐Y’know when you’re talking to a sub and you give them an order mid conversation and they kneel (courtesy of @mysicklove)?? Just saying “omega” in a sharp tone is enough to get Eijiro to behave (not that he deliberately misbehaves, only if he wants your attention >:3)
𖤐Overall, best and sweetest omega ever. 100000000/10 good boy, must give him sloppy toppy right neow

Just imagine Alpha Steve after everything that happened. Alpha Steve who was King Steve, not just because of the money and the popularity and everything else that came with it, but King Steve because he was also Alpha. How aloof he kept himself from everything, simply because he knew, deep down, that it was all empty and meaningless and what was the point of being the most popular kid in the school if literally no one actually liked him. Just wanted him because of what he was and what he had and what advantages his friendship gave.
And then, after Vecna, after everything, Steve who had a group of people who knew him. Actually knew him, and suddenly he had pack. Learned what it was to make a family, to have people he would fight and die for because he knew they would do the same. Knew the deep satisfaction of caring for the people in his pack.
Alpha Steve who checks in with everyone. Alpha Steve who has to leave his scent on everyone, every time they part. Even Argyle, despite no one being able to smell it over the weed. Steve who has to mark and protect his people, finds that it soothes his soul. Alpha Steve who always has food in the house, knows the likes and dislikes of everyone of his pups, even if he would never call them that out loud.
When Eddie finally wakes up, Wayne sheds a few quiet tears, puts his book away, gently grips at Eddie's hand and calls him a stupid, stupid, brave boy. Because Alpha Steve couldn't tell Wayne many of the details, but he told him Eddie was a hero who saved the world.
Once he's been checked over and the hustle settles down again, the doctor finally clearing out, Eddie starts to realise why he's relaxed, why he's stayed so calm through waking up.
"Smells like Steve," Eddie says, as every thing comes down and his senses slowly warm back up. There's soft blankets under his fingertips, definitely not hospital cushions stacked around his head. Under his shoulder, comfortably soft, a yellow polo, folded up neat.
"Yeah," Wayne agrees quietly, "he's here...a lot."
"What's all this?" Eddie shifts, finding another shirt and a plaid woolen throw wedged between Eddie and the bedrail.
"Steve," Wayne answers simply.
"I'm not an Omega," Eddie answers weakly, bringing the soft corner of a blanket up to his nose.
"Doesn't seem to matter to Harrington."
Eddie doesn't want to be hopeful, not about this. That way lies heartache, "he's such an Alpha, got his wires crossed. I got hurt, that's all."
Wayne hums quietly in answer, "recon' he wouldn't be scenting stuff like this for just anyone, Eds."
"Nah," Eddie laughs brokenly, "not anyone, just every Omega in Hawkins."
Wayne looks at him, gaze too knowing but full of sad understanding, "still, he's clearly very fond of you Eds," it's a nice thing to say, warms Eddie's chest. And then Wayne completely ruins it, "that boys so territorial of you, reckon' he'd piss on you if he thought he'd get away with it."
And that sets a fire in Eddie's guts. Not the pissing part, because, gross, no, but what Wayne means by it. The implication.
"Wayne," Eddie says, and that's enough, because Wayne's always been good at boundaries and he knows Eddie, probably better than Eddie knows himself.
"He'll be here in a minute, knows I've got a shift. Won't let you be alone if he can help it."
And Wayne just drops that bomb and leaves Eddie to deal with it, like it's nothing. Like it's normal that King Steve has been building a nest around Eddie while he sleeps.
Like they summoned him, there he is, sucking in a shocked breath and dropping the bag he was carrying, "Eddie," it's a soft exhalation of surprise, and then Steve is at his side, pushing Eddie's hair out of his face and shifting his blankets. Steve moves on autopilot while he talks, touches Eddie with a sureness and familiarity that Eddie knows, in his soul, means that Steve's been doing the same while he was out cold.
"I'll leave you boys too it," Wayne says on his way out of the door, and while Eddie looks over and responds with a weak wave, Steve doesn't even acknowledge the other man. Can't seem to look away from Eddie.
"I have more, uhm, stuff, if you're uncomfortable.". Steve pulls more soft things out of the duffel he's retrieved from the doorway, "and..." Two shirts also make an appearance.
"I'm not an Omega, Steve," Eddie says again, like this time he will get an explanation.
"I'm ...very aware of that, Eds."
Eds. Steve called him Eds. He has been spending time with Wayne then. Jesus, they would have talked about him, Eddie would have been the only thing they had in common at the start.
"Right, well, I'm awake, doc says I'll get better, so you don't have to..." Eddie starts to shift, weakly lifts the plaid blanket to offer it back to Steve.
Steve grips the blanket, not letting Eddie give it to him, pushing it back towards Eddie. Steve's grip is white knuckle tight on the material, "I want to. I really, really want to.". And he stares Eddie down like he's desperately trying to make him understand.
"Oh," Eddie says weakly, heart all twisted up. He doesn't know what his face is showing, can't control it in the moment, but Steve, whose scent has always been strong and appealing to Eddie's weaker Beta senses, is speaking loud and clear. "Oh," Eddie says again, like it'll help. Letting Steve tuck in blankets and and generally fuss over him some more, touches featherlight when he tidies Eddie's hair yet again.
"Is that...okay, how do you feel about...this?"
"About us?" Eddie clarifies, he has to be absolutely certain he's not misreading the intention in Steve's scent. He's not an Omega, he isn't built to pick up the nuances, he has to ask. Even if Steve's scent is kind of a battering ram of want and need and longing and fierce protectiveness.
"yeah, about there being an us," Steve looks uncertain in a way Eddie's never seen before.
If this is Eddie's chance to reassure Steve that he's on board, he's going all in, "kind of like I won a gold medal and got to play on stage with Metallica and I saved the actual wold but like...better and all at once."
"That good, huh?" Steve runs his fingers through his hair, hiding his face a moment, all bashful despite the big grin that's split his face in half, "even though I'm an Alpha and you're...people won't approve."
"Fuck people."
"I'd rather be fucking you."
Eddie face flames, he knows it does. He must have had plenty of blood transfusions because he's pretty certain all that blood is in his cheeks right now. Well, not all of it, half of it must go to his dick. As soon as the thought of Steve between his legs, making him wet and opening him up, catches up to him, Steve leans forward. There's a rumble coming from Steve's chest as he nuzzles his face in between Eddie's head and shoulder, rubbing and scenting against his neck.
He suckles, gently, at the skin there. It's enough to get Eddie humming with pleasure and the rest of the way hard. It's a good job he's swamped in so many blankets, otherwise it would be very obvious; not that it isn't, Steve can clearly smell it on him.
"Can I mark you?" Steve asks, hovering awkwardly over the edge of the bed to get to Eddie.
"I'd usually insist you take a girl to dinner first-"
"I'd feel better Eddie, please," there's no way he could resist Steve Harrington being so vulnerable and sincere.
And, Eddie figures, well, what's one more bruise?
