Matchmaking Beyond the Veil by Mara Townsend

Plot (spoiler free)

Emery Belmont is a snarky, uptight realist who likes his life ordinary. Like any skeptic, he’s content using mundane explanations to write off signs of paranormal activity. That’s no longer an option when the spirit haunting his house wrecks his new kitchen, forcing Emery closer to facing the supernatural truth.

Desperate for a new handyman, he unknowingly hires his hot ex-rival from high school to fix it. Paxton Santos, Emery’s former lacrosse team captain, followed in his father’s footsteps to take over the family business. Annoyingly, Emery requires his talented hands more than he needs to keep Paxton out of his life.

However, getting Paxton to leave after the repairs may prove difficult with the meddlesome ghost taking a shine to him, which Paxton seems to take in his grating, good-natured stride, remaining irritatingly unruffled by numerous weird occurrences.

Ship/fandom

Drarry - Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.

Even if the gorgeous cover didn't tip you off (snarky-yet-soft Draco vibes for days), the author is active in the Drarry fandom and has spoken about how fanfic inspired her first attempt at trad-pub fic.

She also uses a lot of Drarry fandom elements like sentient houses, childhood rivals, found family, magic spells and scalding smut.

If you’re still up for some more rankings, can you rank Sarah MacLean’s heroines?

Sure!

Penelope Marbury, A Rogue By Any Other Name. I just kind of love that she's a bit quiet and not necessarily nerdy but resigned to spinsterhood, and she goes on this journey of self discovery and gives as good as she gets with Bourne. I kind of love a genteel lady who's lowkey a badass, it's a thing for me.

Grace Condry, Daring and the Duke. Grace is just such a badass. A madam, a fighter, a woman who truly has a man on his knees for her literally and figuratively. She's also like, full of pain? Grace has a lot of traits you often see in heroes, which I love.

Seraphina Bevingstoke, Day of the Duchess. Again, I love a wounded heroine, and Seraphine is probably the most wounded of MacLean's heroines? She has a very tender heart but has forced it to harden to protect herself, and I love that.

Pippa Marbury, One Good Earl Deserves a Lover. Pippa is so cute! She's intellectual and curious and precocious and kind of blunt, and I enjoy the way she continuously bowls Cross over. Such a great heroine.

Callie Hartwell, Nine Rules to Break When Romancing A Rake. I love Callie. I love that she's a bit insecure without being self-pitying, a wallflower without being a wilting flower. She's such great fat rep, she means a lot to me.

Juliana Fiori, Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart. Oh Juliana! Such a classic spitfire heroine, driving Simon insane and turning him on at every moment. Her Italian-ness got a little.... much at points lmao, don't know if I QUITE!!! Believed it, but I love her.

Adelaide Frampton, Heartbreaker. What a fun heroine. Quiet without being meek, fading into the background without being boring. I love that she was a thief, and I kind of love that she was strong but a bit sexually submissive at times? Fabulous.

Lillian Hargrove, A Scot in the Dark. She had me at "posed nude for a painting and made a Huge Mistake". I loved her sexual boldness, and how relatively shameless she was.

Mara Lowe, No Good Duke Goes Unpunished. I love Mara! A lot of people hate Mara because she's actually a flawed and at times selfish heroine, but I don't know. That's why I enjoy her.

Hattie Sedley, Brazen and the Beast. Another classic archetype--the heroine who wants to get out there and experience the world YESTERDAY. Hattie was so much fun, and she holds a special place as one of the only HR heroines who's like, actually portrayed by a plus size model, lol.

Sophie Talbot, The Rogue Not Taken. Sophie is a very good heroine, and I know she's popular, but to me she is a type that MacLean does often and I think other heroines do it better.

Georgiana, Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover. I love that Georgiana got her happy ending! I also enjoy her having like, triple lives as a sexpot and a club owner and a single mom. What a multi-tasker.

13. Sesily Talbot, Bombshell. Realizing I probably forgot to categorize Caleb when ranking the heroes.... Well, he was ranked lower lol. Sesily is a fun heroine, but I can't say that I necessarily am super into the SEXILY thing she had going on. I have nothing against it, but I didn't connect with it in the book.

Felicity Faircloth, Wicked and the Wallflower. Nice, but didn't make a huge impression on me.

Isabel Townsend, Ten Ways to be Adored When Landing A Lord. See above.

Been wanting to do this for a while, put all my book children together for a picture. Since the newest book comes out tomorrow, I finally got around to doing it! Some WIPs not pictured (mainly 3 outside of my current series project that have a lot of words in them but are all on pause haha 💀 but my goal is to finish at least one of those this year as well)

To that anon that asked me a while ago if I thought it was worth it to chase this as a career or just focus on a love of writing, my answer is the same. Keep at it if being a published author is what you want. This year I’m making a full time income. Every day, every book, it gets better and I love it!

#carpemermaid writes #mara townsend #veronica eden #original fiction #carpemermaid original fic #ayyy if you look up the veronica eden books mind the trigger warnings those are dark new adult romance with fucked up flawed characters #and mara townsend books are for my lighter humorous lgbt romances with mostly low angst except for matchmaking who is my OF version #of my fanfic Draco #so Emery Belmont is...complicated hahaha #self publishing #indie author #mm romance #dark romance #new adult romance #lgbt romance #paranormal romance #contemporary romance #books

More adventures in books : Trust funds doof seething at remembering all the tense moments with his high school rival, not understanding why sakd rival doesn't seem to remember it the same way even tho all he remembers is just him seething quietly and flirty banter high in sexual tension.

Dude that's gay.

🌻 5 and 15 for the book ask! 🌻

5. Who's the protagonist everyone hates, but you love?

Well, not hate, but definitely not appreciated enough: Georgiana Pearson from "Never judge a lady by her cover". This woman might or might not be my favourite character of all times, from all types of media, and yet her character and her book seem to be considered a major disappointment by most of the people who have read it. And I don't get it! Georgiana's story is everything to me, it annoys me so much to see she's so underrated. In general I would say the older Maclean heroines like Mara Lowe ("No good duke goes unpunished") or Isabel Townsend ("Ten ways to be adored when landing a lord") aren't appreciated enough. If we are looking at heroes, there is Duncan West (another Maclean character) or Sebastian Gray ("Ten things I love about you") who is clearly the superior Julia Quinn hero. Bridgertons, who? xDD

15. What's your most hated storyline/plot-twist?

I don't have a specific one. Most of the plot twists that make the heroine ~purer and the ideal wife should go here. So we have: the illegitimate child was never hers ("Darling beast" by Elizabeth Hoyt), she's a widow, but still a virgin ("Cold hearted rake" by Lisa Kleypas), she's infertile, but gets pregnant as soon as she sleeps with the hero ("Devil in disguise" by Lisa Kleypas). I find all three of these very cowardly.

“This is a bad show and yet....” The UFC Blachowicz vs Anderson Fight Night  Preview

Joey

February 10th, 2020

A week after chaos and controversy in Texas, we stay in the Southwest as the UFC heads to Rio Rancho, New Mexico for a little bit of a weird ass fight card. The UFC has a tendency to just put together shows in weird locations to fill their schedule and a show from the Santa Ana Star Center in New Mexico sort of just fits that mold with a very blegh card. There's good fights on here but for some reason, most of them lurk on the prelims while the main card is pretty much a big ball of fluff and weird Jackson-Wink style matchups. Corey Anderson vs Jan Blachowicz is a fine enough headliner I GUESS while Diego Sanchez vs Michel Perreira is one of those fights you have a morbid curiosity for live but eventually will turn to disgust once it happens. Names like Jim Miller, Scott Holtzman, Ray Borg and John Dodson lurk on the prelims if you're willing to dig around for them and any card with Tim Means on it probably warrants viewing. IF ANYTHING it feels like this card is really a more painful reminder of the downfall of Jackson-Wink and how most of the name fighters they've relied upon have either left, retired or fallen off the map completely. It's a dying gym and it's sort of brutal to see it go this route even if you found Greg Jackson and Mike WInklejohn to come off as perhaps arrogant and condescending at their peak. Either way, there's live fights and I'll be here so it's my duty to settle in, strap up and get ready to guide us through what is a very weird helter skelter-y fight night from New Mexico.

2020 Stat-O-Matic:

Debuting Fighters (3-2): Daniel Rodriguez, Brok Weaver Main Event Exemption:

Short Notice Fighters (2-2): DeQuan Townsend, Daniel Rodriguez Main Event Exemption:

Second Fight (2-2): Rodrigo Vargas Main Event Exemption: Vs Debutantes: Rodrigo Vargas

Weight Class Jumpers (Fighters competing outside of the weight class of their last fight even if they’re returning BACK to their “normal weight class”) (1-3): Ray Borg, Dequan Townsend Main Event Exemption ():

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1- So does this main event not matter anymore? Regardless of how you might've felt about Corey Anderson and his streaking success or Jan Blachowicz's second half career resurgence, the fact of the matter was that IF Jones beat Reyes convincingly like most expected then Jones vs the winner of this fight felt like a lock for July or August. Consider that the UFC originally brought up the idea of Jones vs Jan in MSG to both camps but Jon passed on it or requested a new deal for it or whatever the case. Corey Anderson has some semblance of heat to him these days after smelting Johnny Walker and trying to develop or rabble up some sort of counter UFC fanbase. This WAS a #1 contender fight in theory but now? Is anybody going to want to see any fight at 205 lbs BESIDES Jones vs Reyes 2? I'm betting that's going to be a hard no. Now it is worth remembering that Jones once turned down Gus 2 (which the UFC thought would be a 1 million buy PPV) so that Glover Teix could get a title shot. This is also the UFC's rise of the champions era where champions can dictate their opponents. That said I bet it's going to be borderline riot territory if the UFC goes with the winner of this fight over a Reyes rematch.

2- The first fight featured a ton of wrasslin' as Jan couldn't stop Corey Anderson takedowns to save his life. The problem repeated itself vs Pat Cummins as well. This has been LESS of a problem for Jan since hitting this insane run he's been on since the Cummins' fight but Anderson hasn't gotten worse as a wrestler and if anything he's rounded out some of the holes in his game as a striker. Feels like a toughie for Jan to win BUT if Jan can take solace in anything, it's that Anderson has been KO'd twice since that fight and got his head bounced off the turf by Shogun Rua in a contested split decision loss. Jan also has rediscovered his kicking game which has been the catalyst for this renaissance run. There's some intrigue here but in all likelihood, this is Bader vs top 10 LHW territory where he can outgrapple dudes en route to the eventual fight with a big hitter who sleeps him.

3- Who WOULD win in a fight between Ryan Bader vs Corey Anderson?

4- Is it fair to just want Diego vs Michel to happen just so you can say you saw it happen?

5- At the risk of opening myself to critique and sassafrass, the main card fight I'm MOST looking forward to is Mara Romero vs Montana de la Rosa. I still think there's plenty of upside for Montana de la Rosa as she's very young but also pretty experienced with a 3-1 UFC record and a sole loss to Andrea Lee who is pretty good. She's got some discomfort on her feet that makes me worried about the ceiling but her grappling, positional awareness and fluidity is well worth seeing if it develops. For Mara Romero, I'm just sort of not sure what she is as a fighter. She debuted, upset the Titan FC bantamweight champ in her UFC debut, lost a close fight to Katlyn Chookagian, upset an undefeated Brazilian prospect in Brazil and then got swamped by Lauren Murphy in her next fight. Like Montana de la Rosa, there's a clear lack of comfort on the feet for extended periods of time but when the fight hits the mat, she's a lot of fun to watch usually. Kinda digging this fight on paper.

6- Jim Miller vs Scott Holtzman is weird because this is a fight that both guys tend to find a way to lose. Miller rolls into this one on a modest two fight winning streak which means he's one more kinda good mid tier guy away from getting thrust into a violence fight vs some sort of stylistic nightmare. Holtzman is still riding his "look great one fight, shit the next" rollercoaster as he comes into this one off violent smelting of Dong Hyung Ma after a loss to Nik Lentz after violently finishing Alan Patrick. So much of Holtzman's game seems to be broken down by whether or not he is "in" the fight after the first round since he seems incapable of grinding out those close brutal fights, especially when he doesn't have a pronounced strength advantage. Chances are this one ends poorly for Miller (who was rocked by Clay Guida twice in a minute) but this is Jim Miller and we are obligated to root for a dude who fought for years with lyme disease and had no idea.

7- Lando Vannata vs Yancy Medeiros in a battle of guys who can best be described as violent enhancement talent should be fun. It's worth remembering that fighters who have taken a year or more off and come back are at a ROUSING 5-0 in the early stages of 2020 and Medeiros hasn't fought since Jan of last year.

8- If Ray Borg makes weight, he's got a REALLY winnable fight against Rogerio Bontorin who is super powerful and hits hard but doesn't bring much else to the dance. How quickly can Borg ascend up the ranks with a win?

9- A bit ago,  @theanticool  and I discussed the plight of Jon Dodson; a super athlete who probably should've rounded out his game more en route to what is now the end of his athletic peak and the start of what would be the crafty veteran portion of his career except I don't think he's particularly crafty. Powerful? For sure. Still plenty fast? Yep. Lacking a change up to his game? Feels pretty evident. Dodson has a chance to pretty much stem the tide of irrelevancy against Nate Wood in another one of those low key great bantamweight fights. Wood was/is a bit of a wild man all action fighter but since coming into the UFC, he's settled down a bit and really refined his game to the tune of a 3-0 record all by stoppage. He's less frenetic, smarter and looks like a dude benefitting from UFC paychecks where he can probably train more/better. Wood vs Dodson should be awesome and especially in the first round where I can see Wood having trouble if Dodson comes out hot early.

10- I'm still not off the Macy Chiasson bandwagon but this fight with Nicco Montano is going to be pretty damn important for her. Nicco got off to a really strong start in her bantamweight debut vs Julianna Pena before she tired out or got sucked into prolonged grappling exchanges or whatever happened. I still think her weight class is down 10 lbs but she's got the stuff to really challenge Chiasson. This feels like a case of two women living in two opposite weight classes and having to meet in the middle to be honest.

11- Speaking of Nicco, she went from the first ever women's flyweight champion to the follow up fight to the curtain jerker. That's tough.

12- I've been a pretty damn bad judge of talent off of the Contender's Series but I really think that Brok Weaver is going to be a big time bust.

Who better to play fake boyfriend than his business partner?

It’s October! That means Oliver + Micah’s friends-to-lovers fake dating story is coming at you soon! Newsletter subscribers will receive it for free in a fake dating giveaway of 25+ stories on October 21 if you’d like to sign up to my mailing list for early access before it’s released! It’s also available for pre-order now and will be out November 4, 2019 in Kindle and Kindle Unlimited! If you’re in the mood for a quick read, this is for you!

Oliver has carved out a good life for himself with his business partner and best friend, Micah. While Oliver handles the boring parts of their business, Micah spends his days subsisting on far too much coffee, tending to his collection of office plants, and losing himself in lines of code. But then the invitation—the summons—to a family event comes and throws Oliver’s carefully cultivated balance into chaos.

One thing is certain: Oliver can’t face his judgmental family alone. The one person he trusts to play his pretend boyfriend is the only one that’s off-limits.

[Love] Overwrite Command is a fast-paced MM friends-to-lovers romance novella featuring fake dating, pining business partners, an overabundance of plants, interesting flavor combinations, a moat, and a HEA.
