    Okay but like the first one was so :( they should have just made her guilt trip him the entire book, like she can never lose a fight in the relationship. He says something mean? She can just say “well you killed my family 🤨” literally the perfect way to always win an argument

    A little off-topic BUT the fact that you brought up their first name choice for Tex is hilarious to me, and only because a year ago I adopted a cat from a couple who had him since birth. 8 years they had this babe and when I asked what his name was they said "Idrk, sometimes we call him Blackie." ?! 1. This cat is mostly white with black mixed in and 2. You had a kitten/cat for 8 years and just never legally named him???

    I remember reading these kind of books in High School for the heck of it. I think I read Maria at Christmas Time. It was like a Hallmark Christmas movie where the girl falls for the rich countrymen, and I distinctly remember this part they find a kitten out in the cold. Best part of the whole book. It's weird how I remember the animal in things... Like the dog... *In Garm Wars: The Last Druid.* And after doing some research recently, it's apparently worshipped like a god. Perhaps Garmi were dogs the whole time!

    OCD Love Story by Corey Ann Haydou is... wild.
    Anatomy of a Misfit by Andrea Portes is also interesting.
    The Dangerous Art of Blending In by Angelo Surmelis is another one of my favs.

    Okay. Book 1. Page 1. A "pregnant" length of time means a long one, usually uncomfortable. See: Courtney Act's "Pregnant pause..."
    So "Pregnant instant" is...a complete contradiction. So already this writer is spreading potpourri on their poo and hoping to sell it.

    I read a book called "Born in Fire" by Nora Roberts. Dropped it after chapter three. The first chapter had me hooked with the wildest character death, but then the love interest is creepy and abusive and the main character loses development as she marries and eventually has a kid with Rogan fucking Sweeney. I literally skipped to a scene in chapter 7 where he gets so sexually enraged at the woman that he skids his car off the road and violently kisses her. I put the book down right after that. Then I read the next book "Born in Ice", which is much better than the first one but the guy is still a little creepy and the girl still loses some character development. I have no idea what the third book "Born in Shame" will be about but I am expecting a wild ride.

    I hate that the horrific first book’s title seems to be a play on words about nuns. “Black Veil Bride” is a woman who kinda marries into the faith. (Idk, I’m Protestant and Bi 🤷‍♀️) The title of The Blackmail Bridegroom HAS to be a riff on Black Veil Bride, and that author is either in hell or needs some kind of religious or moral system in their life
    (In between these paragraphs, I thought “Authors in the 90’s were all criminals who smoked cigarettes” and “Keep the hard drugs away from authors, especially Stephen King. I feel sick when he crams disturbed shit into compelling stories.”
    *at least Rochester got broiled and blinded in flames for his sins before getting to spend his life with Jane. Katherine and Heathcliff both deserved better and didn’t deserve each other, so they should be alone (All as fictional characters. I’m not wanting real ppl who make mistakes to be punished). I’ve been into Shakespeare for 13 years, but Romeo and Juliet is trash, yet it was written as a MELODRAMA. The “After” series (among others) romanticizing FUCKING WUTHERING HEIGHTS IS UNBELIEVABLE

      I've never heard it referred to as such by anyone before nor used that way in any old movies that like to throw that type of language around for what that's worth. Since it's literally just a color with -ie added to the end I'm sure someone out there has used it like a slur, but honestly it kind of feels like acting like the name "Red" is offensive because some assholes call Native Americans various things using it, at some point you gotta stop letting racists claim every word as a slur or there won't be any left.

      It's also the Japanese name of the Pokemon named Umbreon, I think you're fine. 😅
