Welcome to Litsy!

I treated myself after voting and getting my flu shot to a new Kindle with a pretty cover! I actually prefer reading ebooks because the experience is so clean and customizable. I‘m really enjoying the touch features (my old Kindle has button navigation) and the dictionary function. I‘m also enjoying this romance by Nalini Singh. ☺️👏

I liked this A LOT more than the first book, mostly because I prefer slow-burn romances that don't sacrifice any scorching-hot chemistry between the protagonists, and this novel does precisely that. The female protagonist has a history of abuse and PTSD, so trigger warnings for that, but I thought it was handled quite well. Rugby knowledge useful, but not necessary ;).

And....Rock Courtship intersects in time with this & there are hints throughout so, clearly, I read this as well. Really enjoyed it but the main male characters in the series are starting to feel quite familiar, she‘s repeating similar mannerisms & physicality‘s. I‘m a die hard Singh fan but I‘m not obsessed with this series (but I will read the rest, I know this!!). It‘s a still a good read but maybe leave some time between books in the series?

A guilty pleasure tonight... I am enjoying this much more than the first book I n the series

This was wonderful, though it's definitely not a breezy read. The heroine survived an horrific experience that left her with deep scars and dozens of triggers, and the hero is careful to recognize what they are and avoid them. When he gets frustrated with the necessarily slow pace of their relationship, it's always clear that's HIS problem, not hers, and it's one he's gonna handle without laying pressure on her. 👇

I planned to switch to comics while I ate my leftover wonton soup (made with leftover taco-spiced tofu, which is every bit as tasty a wonton filling as I imagined), but I can't tear myself away from ROCK HARD. This hero is heaps better than the one in the last book! My only complaint is I wish Singh had made it immediately clear he's mad at the man who hurt Charlotte, not at Charlotte for fearing men. #LitsyPartyofOne #romantsy

Ugh, snow, whyyyyyy.

This is miles away from my ideal reading weather. I need it to be warm enough that I can spend time outside without undue discomfort, and with a book in hand. #LitsyPartyofOne

Just hangin' around in the sorta-dark, reading a kiwi contemporary romance. I've always listened to Singh before this, but I pounced on my library's electronic copy with this one because I know the narrator's accent work (or lack thereof) will annoy me no end otherwise. #LitsyPartyofOne #romantsy

I was approved for an ARC of Nalini Singh's contemporary coming out next month. Reading it immediately. #romantsy

It's not on Litsy yet, so tagged the book featuring the hero's brother.

Still in the mood for fluff apparently, but it's February now so it's festive or something.

Each book in this series is better than the previous. Charlotte was sexually assaulted in college - she has shut down. As a PA for a new CEO who sees the strong woman inside her, she continues to heal. A great story, sweet romance, and some steamy lovin. Now it's time to play with the pup 🐶#romantsy
