This book is going to be part of my core memory.

Everytime i pass by a grove of Orange trees, everytime i scent the dry summer wind, everytime i see a big fluffy dog, just everytime i feel a sense of the mysterious in a quite place i will think of this book.

Very few books and fanfics I've ever read leave an impression on me, and make me want to go back to them. But this makes me want to experience it again for the first time.

It has the best troupe:

Slow burn

Enemies to lovers

Grumpy hero

Magical powers (but without it being confusing and you're lost as to what is going on)

Amazing plot, fast paced and keeps you hooked.

Lovable side characters

Brilliant writing

And finally beautifully written erotic scenes without it being over the top.

I personally love a sarcastic old grump of a hero and the MMC here is all that

One of my favourite quotes from this book.

“You know, you almost remind me of a Gothic hero,” I say.

His mouth kicks up in a smirk. “In what way? Dashing and courageous?”

“Obnoxious and insufferable.”

“Landlord Wars”, by Jules Barnard

This book was provided by Grey's Promotions in exchange for an honest review

RELEASE DATE - Mar10, 2023

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“He lives above me. I can feel his negative energy seeping through the drywall and down into my bedroom” — Sophia In this romantic comedy written by Jules Barnard our heroine Sophia rents a room in a Victorian style house in San Francisco. She gets along well with her new flatmate Jack who sublet the room to her at a very affordable price. Now Jack’s best friend and landlord Max is another story. He’s a rich guy who lives on the floor above and actually owns the building. Jack had and affair with his former flatmate and she destroyed the flat before leaving him so Max is very reluctant to have another woman living with Jack. Both he and Sophia clash at first sight, but they also feel an unwanted attraction towards each other. The problem is that Sophia can’t afford anything else in that area and she not only pays the rent but also helps her sister with her studies, and supports a mother she can’t live with. And Jack doesn’t have a problem with Sophia’s sister Elise staying with them now and then. So it all comes down to Max, for whom she has the sobriquet ‘Landlord Devil’.

This was an easy fun book to read which was what I needed at the moment. The banter between Sophia and Max was as hilarious as irrational Max’s fears were. The fact that he almost expected every woman his best friend shared a flat with fell in love with was ridiculous and the same goes for holding a grudge for the mess somebody else made in the past. But ridiculousness is the basics of rom-coms. And this one was quite enjoyable for me. I had a good time reading Max’s and Sophia’s sparkly bickering and also the antagonism between Elsie and Jack. The humor was excellent and the sexy moments of all of them trying to fight their own feelings and failing. Jules Barnard doesn’t shy away from bringing serious topics into her story. Sophia’s mother suffering from depression, grief and mental issues was carefully depicted with a compassionate and kind tone in the writing and also how her condition impacted the daughters, making them develop anxiety and a slight touch of OCD. But fear not, Barnard doesn’t dwell on drama for shock value, after all this is a rom-com, although I also had the impression that she took advantage of Sophia’s family situation to reveal Max as a man with a heart of gold, which I had already suspected he had. He seemed gruff and arrogant, and he also had a somewhat difficult relationship with his own busybody parents. So despite all the barriers between them, this hardworking woman and the grumpy hero with the heart of gold fall in lust, then in love and fight all the odds to reach their happily ever after, leaving the reader with a warm heart and a smile on the face.

What I've been reading...

What I’ve been reading…

It’s all about bookshops This last couple of weeks I’ve been reading books set in bookshops. There are an awful lot of them in pretty much every genre. I started by downloading samples — such a great thing. Some I didn’t read further, not because they aren’t a great read, but at that moment they weren’t what I was looking for. Then I started reading The Bookshop of Second Chances by Jackie…

Prompt 174

Despite what people complain and snark about, Bruce does in fact have contingency plans for pretty much everything. And while he doesn’t have an exact contingency for Jason apparently accidentally kidnapping the apparently prince of the Realms- some infinite space where the dead resided according to Zatanna and Constantine, he’ll have an existential crisis about it later thanks- he did have one for his kids accidentally kidnapping someone.

He just doesn’t think that exact plan will work in this case, seeing as that plan had to do with civilians and not very large kings that could obliterate the entire world with a hand wave, nevermind the fact that they have so many armies. Not to mention what is apparently both the king’s second-in-command and brother.

Well, if none of his usual contingencies won’t work and Constantine’s attempts at making a deal isn’t working, nor is the other’s attempts to talk the two down, then it’s plan Z time. Seduction it is.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #The league all ended up in the realms & Jason ended up picking up a child who was asking him questions #This was not noticed until Constantine had already finished the sigil to teleport them all out of the Realms #Which is when they both notice the child in Jason’s arms #and the fact that the child has a circlet-crown & galaxy cape #Danny isn’t happy to have been turned into his ghost age for his own health #He’s bullying Pariah into being a better person accidentally #Grumpy lad snuck out into the gardens instead of nap time just in time for the league & co to appear #Pariah & Fright finish the council meeting just in time to see a group of living disappear with the BABY PRINCE #They understandably panicked #Meanwhile Danny is having a blast asking this other halfa about his world full of heroes #Let’s be honest at least half of Bruce’s rogues have either been with him before or have an obsessive crush on him #And he knows how to flirt AND how to fight #No one is going to believe the league when they try to tell the others what happened #halfa jason todd #liminal batfamily

Bakugou secretly loves it when you steal his clothes

"stop stealing my shit" he grumbles as he swipes up his discarded hoodie off your bedroom floor, ignoring the way you pout at him "C'mon Katsuki" you whine from your spot on the bed, dressed in some sweatpants and one of Bakugou's shirts "your clothes are so comfy and smell good" you tease slightly. He glares over at you, ignoring the way his heart thumps at how cute you look in his shirt "If you keep stealing my clothes I'll have nothing to wear dumbass" he says, but despite his words, he pulls the hoodie over your head, fighting the smile on his face as the hood does little to hide your goofy smile.

The power of the Mask

I just finished my new artwork and I really wanted to show it to you!

I really love using extremely bright colors, and the magic of the mask has some beautiful ones!

This is the moment when Time brings the mask closer to his face, the contrast between light and shadow is released in beams of light!

Hope you like it! 💖

I deeply love to imagine Bakugou as the grumpiest person walking on the earth when he grows up and pursues his heroic dream. But every grump needs his sunshine gf that's terrible at something.

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺

"It's done!"

An ash-blonde tuft of hair peeked out from the kitchen doorframe before moving out from behind the wall with his softened scowl.

You glanced over your shoulder behind you at the tall male, smiling softly as you beamed him a loving gaze.

"Gonna pass me one or keep smilin' at me?"

He crossed his arms, a faint smile making its way on his lips before he began striding towards your bent figure as you took your homemade cookies out of the oven.

"Can't I do both?" You hummed before hissing when you accidentally touched the hot pan with your non-mittened hand.

His eyes barely widened before he quickly made his way over to you, looming over you as he stood behind you with your wrist in his overly large hand. "Idiot." He mumbled before rubbing your hand with his calloused fingers.

You huffed, rolling your eyes before pointing down at the cookies on the pan.

You were pretty adamant on learning how to bake. Why? Because you were absolutely ass at it. But that never stopped Bakugou from encouraging you and supporting each and every one of your pastries. But of course, since you weren't the best at baking, you can only guess how they'd come out.

"They look great, honey." He mumbled, kissing your cheek before taking a dark obsidian black, supposedly chocolate chip cookie.

You smiled brightly at your boyfriend as he took a hearty bite out of your cookie, your happiness never deterring as he kept a straight face.

That was all that mattered.

"So.. how are they..?" You whispered, turning around to face him as you craned your neck up.

He hummed in thought before throwing the rest of the cookie in his mouth and sticking his thumb up with approval.

He swallowed, clearing his throat before pointing behind you at the cookies, "Gonna give 'em to the group, that okay?"

"Of course!" You smiled, "Can I come? I wanna see their reactions and take some tips."

"'Course baby, go get dressed." And with a light tap on your behind, you were off to your shared bedroom with a small skip in your step.

"What are those." Kaminari whispered to Bakugou, pointing a slim finger at the cookies in a small zip lock baggy.

"My cookies." You replied before Bakugou could, glancing up at the charcoal in your boyfriend's hands.

The group froze before simultaneously nodding together. You took nothing of it, but Bakugou did as he sent a deathly glare to each of them.

"Go on, pick one." Bakugou grumbled, keeping his stone cold glare as he carefully opened the bag and spread it large enough for their hands to fit through.

Sero and Kaminari gulped, clearing their throat before reluctantly taking the so-called cookie from the baggy. Ashido, Kirishima, and Jirou following soon after.

"Hey, babe, can you go get us some water over there?" Bakugou asked quietly, pointing to the water dispenser near the corner of his unnecessarily large office.

You happily obligated, nodding before shuffling over to the dispenser with your fluffy winter boots.

"One negative thing, 'n I'm slitting all of your goddamn throats."

"Yes, sir." Kaminari and Sero saluted foolishly as the rest froze, seemingly lost in thought as they stared at your cookie. wondering how in the world did it get that bad.

You quickly came back with both arms full of plastic cups filled with water. Bakugou was quick to set the cookies down on his desk and grab all the waters from your grasp.

When you smiled expectedly at them, they all glanced at each other before sighing and taking a reluctantly large bite.

"They're– They're um.." "They're awesome!" Kirishima finished for Kaminari, nudging his arm behind their bodies before gulping down his bite.

You happily squealed, jumping up and down before hugging your boyfriend at his neck.

And then, he smiled.

"Say a thing, and I'll kill you."

katsuki is always dragging you off when he’s angry to get his head between your thighs because it’s one of the only things that keeps him from literally blowing shit up. he doesn’t care if you’re in public, with friends or without, visiting parents for the weekend. he will straight up grab you by the arm and pull because it’s either that or he gives no fucks and gets on his knees no matter who’s watching. he doesn’t care who sees or hears you, but he knows you care, so he whisks you away. all he cares about in that moment is the feeling of your hot, wet cunt grinding into his face as he groans, gripping you so tightly that you can’t escape no matter how good it feels.

just imagining leo valdez & his grumpy!gf. him constantly cracking jokes & making fun of anything & everything just trying to get you to smile & feeling like it’s a major victory each time he gets one. him just wrapping his arms around your shoulders or waist from behind or laying his head on your shoulder or kissing you on the cheek & grinning like a lunatic when he sees the stoicism on your face just melt away. he knows he’s your soft spot, and he abuses his power to no day’s end. also everyone being so surprised when they find out the two of you are dating. & the looks on people’s faces when they see you go from classic rbf to all smiley and pink when he’s around? NEVER gets old. all in all, you’re lovesick for nothing & nobody but him, but he’s always got you beat in the “i love you more” competition.

I have a thing for Villains in case you couldn't tell.

°•○

"I want her," Villain says, his eyes fixed on Princess, who glances at her father.

The king blanches, his eyes flicking between the two. "You can't-"

"I definitely can," Villain cut him off. "In return for your kingdom back, I want the princess."

She tilted her head to inspect him. Villain, despite his murderous tendencies, was... well, he was rather handsome, if she was being honest. His eyes bored into her father across the table, betraying his mask of indifference. He lounged in his seat while everyone else seemed on the edge of theirs.

Princess wasn't even supposed to be here. She had come only at Villains' request.

"Father," she started, "perhaps Villain and I can talk this through. Alone."

"Absolutely not," he spat. "You will not taint her with your darkness." The King looked to Villain again, jabbing a finger in his direction. "You will not have her."

Villain, with the slightest nod of his head, forced the king into silence. His burning stare moved to the Princess and he addressed her imperiously. "Come. We will discuss."

Not a soul stopped them. Not when he offered his arm. Not when she took it. Not when he led her through to the gardens.

They made their way to the entrance of the spiralling maze before Villain stopped. "You know my request already."

"You want me."

"I want you."

She extracted her arm from his to fiddle with the ring around her throat. "The last time I saw you, you went by Alias."

His jaw clenched. "My name is Villain."

She did not fight him on that. It wouldn't work. Princess stroked the petal of a lily thoughtfully. "You lied to me. You lied to everyone."

Villain remained silent at her back, and she made no move to speak. The silence lingered around them like a thick, suffocating fog. Her willingness to stagnate the conversation thawed at his resolve. Villain would have taken her in his arms and kissed her until she remembered she loved him had she not turned to face him.

"I have conditions," she said finally. He gestured for her to continue. "I will call you Alias. You will cease this ridiculous reign of terror that you have inflicted upon the land. You can keep Kingdom, that land it rightfully yours - but it will be restored to beauty. No more barren land or shaved forests. I want flowers. I want sunshine."

He was silent while she contemplated what else she wanted. He would give it to her. She was worth her weight in gold and more.

"And..." she hesitated.

"Name it and it is yours."

"I want a puppy."

"What?"

"A puppy. Father never let me have one. He said it would only distract me."

His eyes widened in alarm. "I-"

"You said anything," she countered fiercely. When he nodded in agreement, she turned away from him, satisfied.

His lips twisted. "You will have your puppy. And a wedding."

She whirled around, eyes alight.

"You will be my Queen," he said simply. "That is my only request."

"Deal."

They were a breath apart. His fingers reached out to stroke down her cheek, and Princess leaned into the touch.

"I have missed you," Villain murmured, pulling her close to him.

"What, all that power didn't satisfy you?" She taunted. Still, she was in his arms, not pulling away. His hand tangled in her hair, jerking her head backwards. Princess scowled at him. "Don't be mean."

Instead of claiming her mouth like he wished, he settled for a kiss to her temple, cupping the nape of her neck to hold her close.

"I've only ever wanted you," he said. "Everything else was simply an accessory."

She did not respond, cradled in his arms like something precious.

Like something he needed.

"You know what, that's your fucking problem, Villain. You let those fools walk all over you. They keep mistreating you over and over again over nothing and you just stand there and let it happen!"

"And what do you want me to do about it! They're the only thing I have left."

"So what? That doesn't mean you deserve to be treated like that! Shoot people on the foot, break a few windows, and yell at them! Anything is better than letting yourself be treated like that. For goodness sake, you're the fucking villain! Why on earth I'm the one who's giving you advice!"
