In English we say

'I thought I'll never love again'

But in poetry we say

'You hugged the apricity into my cold heart

It was redemption

Coming forth from Winter to the Spring

Now the crevices of my heart bloom in flowers'

Exciting and Unusual Locations

Real estate agents will tell you that location is everything when choosing a home. Readers are a little more forgiving thankfully! I know many of you like stories set on ranches or the Pacific Northwest. I took a risk to set my new series in Florida and places like Miami and the Everglades and hope you’ve been enjoying those locations in the South Beach Security series. But that made me think…

💬 What are some of your favorite romance tropes? 🤎📖 I’ve been loving grumpy x sunshine books lately, and this series sounds like it will be right up my alley! I can’t wait to start it. Have you read these yet? Are they on your TBR? Thank you to @read_bloom for gifting me these copies! . . . s u m m a r y : Rowan I'm in the business of creating fairy tales. Theme parks. Production companies. Five-star hotels. Everything could be all mine if I renovated Dreamland. My initial idea of hiring Zahra was good in theory, but then I kissed her. Things spiraled out of control once I texted her using an alias. By the time I realized where I went wrong, it was too late. People like me don't get happy endings. Not when we're destined to ruin them. Zahra After submitting a drunk proposal criticizing Dreamland's most expensive ride, I should have been fired. Instead, Rowan Kane offered me a dream job. The catch? I had to work for the most difficult boss I'd ever met. Rowan was rude and completely off-limits, but my heart didn't care. At least not until I discovered his secret. It was time to teach the billionaire that money couldn't fix everything. Especially not us. . . . h a s h t a g s : #thefineprint #termsandconditions #dreamlandbillionaires #laurenasher #romancebooks #contemporaryromance #romancereader #romancereadersofinstagram #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #readercommunity #bookcommunity #igreads #goodreads #bookishflatlay #flatlaystyle #flatlayphotography #flatlayoftheday #toberead #mustread https://www.instagram.com/p/CiaKHw-OA59/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

★ Are you a mood reader or a TBR builder? I am a mood reader and this stack is not a TBR. Instead, it is a pile of strategically placed books that I plan to read either tomorrow, next week, next month, or in three years. 😭😅 Anyone relate? ★ HASHTAGS // #shelfie #bookstack #booksofinsta #bookshelf #librarylove #stacksaturday #shelfiesunday #hollyblack #thestolenheir #penelopedouglas #lucyscore #romancereader #fantasybooks #colleenhoover #moodreader #tomorrowandtomorrowandtomorrow #blacksun #monicamurphy #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQQlxmvr2Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📚 What holiday books & movies are you reading/watching this month? And/or, what are you reading this weekend?? Friday has finally arrived, Bookworms. Do you have any fun reading plans, or other plans, this weekend? I am hoping to spend the weekend reading and watching holiday movies. (We shall see if it actually happens though. 😏) Are you reading any holiday books or watching any holiday movies this month? I have a lot of holiday books picked out to read this month. A few of them are pictured above, and I also have a few ebooks and audiobooks borrowed from the library as well. I’m hoping to get to as many of them as I can. I’ve already read one from the stack above, and I’m hoping to finish up the second one today. Next on my TBR is *Season of Love* by Helena Greer. It sounds so cute! ❤️ As for movies, my go-to favorite holiday movies are While You Were Sleeping and You’ve Got Mail … Though, YGM is really a great movie for any season. ❤️ What holiday books and movies will you be enjoying this month? (Or what are some of your favorites?) And if you’re not reading or watching any holiday things this month, what are you reading this weekend? 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 #AlltheBooksDec22 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingDec22 #ReadingintheWeb 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 #bookstack #holidayreads #weekendreading #fridayreads #currentlyreading #amreading #tbr #toberead #romancebooks #romancereader #yabooks #bookstagram #shelfie #booklover #bookobsessed #cozyreading #bookaesthetic #booknerd #booksaremagic #reading #books #readerlife #readingtime #newbooks #goodreads #bookcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8lyzGudvH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Dowry of Blood | Book Review

Author: S.T. Gibson

Genre: Historical Paranormal, Gothic Fantasy, Horror

Publisher: Nyx Publishing

Release Date: 31/01/2021

Rating: 4.25/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Synopsis:

A lyrical and dreamy reimagining of Dracula’s brides, A Dowry of Blood is a story of desire, obsession, and emancipation. Saved from the brink of death by a mysterious stranger, Constanta is transformed from a medieval peasant into a bride fit for an undying king. But when Dracula draws a cunning aristocrat and a starving artist into his web of passion and deceit, Constanta realizes that her beloved is capable of terrible things. Finding comfort in the arms of her rival consorts, she begins to unravel their husband’s dark secrets. With the lives of everyone she loves on the line, Constanta will have to choose between her own freedom and her love for her husband. But bonds forged by blood can only be broken by death.

Review:

tw//: murder, abuse (physical/psychological) mental illness.

so let me sum up this book, in a short and wonky way… umm!! it’s a retelling of dracula’s three brides story. the novel is told from constanta’s pov and is divided to three parts, no chapters, and each part about one of the brides! part one is about her life with dracula. part two sees the addition of magdalena to the family, and part three is when alexie joins the foray!!

while reading the book, at first, i was like “hmm, it’s prolly just all the hyped books” then i found myself entranced throughout part two, speeding through part three devouring every word of the page! i honestly had no idea i would actually like it this much! the trio are precious to me!

definitely recommend listening to the audiobook as well!!

While I'm busy reading romance this lovely month, I remembered another couple of shots I had never shown yet. And while I'm in a loving mood, why not. I was feeling inspired by my short story I did a while back.

☠️☦︎︎ARC Review☦︎︎☠️

Heartless Heathens by Santana Knox

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ᥲrᥴ ᥴ᥆⍴ᥡ

This is a dark why choose gothic romance set in a dystopian world and I loved it! This was my first read by this author and I devoured this story! This book will definitely not be for everyone but holy smokes was it good! Please check the trigger warnings before going into it ! This was such a unique story I loved all the characters especially Romina Felix Sunny and Corvin they all had great chemistry I loved getting pov’s from all of them I really enjoyed Romina’s character arc her growth was incredible to witness the descriptive writing was amazing I loved the world the story takes place in it was so interesting I’m on a huge dystopian romance kick lately and this definitely satisfied my thirst for them. Definitely different but what a page turner it was ! Absolutely amazing ! Definitely recommend!

Hey,

𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.

⠀

No, 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑢𝑝.

⠀

Yeah, I’m the one they talk about. The headmaster’s prized possession, locked away in the bell tower of Notredame Parochial College. To most of the students I was just a myth.

⠀

An urban legend.

⠀

The girl who rings the bells up in the tower, the one who talks to gargoyles.

⠀

Frollo’s secret

⠀

Then they showed up, those heathens. Outcasts, just like me. But these men aren’t just dangerous, they’re heartless. They won’t abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world.

⠀

Now that they’ve found me, they may never let me go. And maybe I wouldn’t want them to…

📚 What are you reading today? Or hoping to start this week?? It’s Monday again, Bookworms … Did you have a good weekend? Did you get much reading done? I managed to read a few chapters over the weekend, but not a lot. The hubby and I are both sick, so we spent most of the weekend curled up in a ball of misery. I am so tired of being sick. 😑 I am hoping to get some reading time in this week though. My plan is to finish up *A Very Merry Bromance*, and then start *A Merry Little Meet Cute* after that. (And my warm drink lately is lots of peppermint tea. It’s so soothing.) ❤️ What about you guys? What are you reading this week? And what’s your warm beverage choice? 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 #AlltheBooksDec22 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingDec22 #ReadingintheWeb 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 🌲 📚 #currentlyreading #amreading #tbr #toberead #newbook #juliemurphy #sierrasimone #holidayreading #romancebooks #romancereader #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #shelfie #bookstack #booklover #bookobsessed #bookaesthetic #booknerd #booksaremagic #reading #books #bookstagramcommunity #readingtime #yabooks #booksbooksbooks #goodreads https://www.instagram.com/p/ClyPk5FuFgj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
