#LittensLoveRomance Ch.41-46: Someone has been out to get Eleanor for longer than we thought. That‘s probably why she seemed sad when Maggie came across her earlier in the book. Perhaps she invited the mystery writers as a way to help her solve her own case. I liked that Ethan and Maggie are sharing now - I mean, what better time and place than in a dark passageway - no escaping if things get real. So now my question is what happened in Tucson??

BarkingMadRead I am dying to know what happened in Tucson, and worried at the same time 🤣 10h

julesG I thought it was a case of "What happened in Tuscon stays in Tuscon." - which had me thinking either they had a one-night-stand, or they buried a body together. ? 9h

OriginalCyn620 I‘m so glad Ethan opened up and we got to know more about him. And he has officially made my book boyfriend list! As far as Eleanor, I‘m really stumped, but I am enjoying the ride! 7h

CogsOfEncouragement This ongoing gag is really entertaining me: …Essence of Ethan…Spritzers would wear leather jackets and they‘d sell out every Christmas. 5h

vonnie862 @CogsOfEncouragement love it! 5h

vonnie862 I can't decide what's more intriguing: what happened in Tucson or what happened to Eleanor? 5h

mcctrish @vonnie862 equally engaging imo and @CogsOfEncouragement I am smiling a lot over the leather jacket references and Ethan always saying “want to make out?” 2h

This new release is a #kindledailydeal today for $2.99 if you haven‘t picked it up yet.

I already have it as a #botm selection but I did get these four other books.

There are a lot more holiday themed books on sale today as well.

LMJenkins I was sad that my bookstore was out of The Most Wonderful Crime…..and then I found the unread ARC on my bookshelf at home. Score! ⭐️

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.36-40: Boy, Rupert is a piece of work. How sad to have family you can‘t trust. Poor Eleanor. I wasn‘t surprised there was a secret passage in her house - because of course there is. How fun and potentially useful for her. What will Maggie and Ethan find I wonder?

BarkingMadRead Every old house should have a creepy passage! 1d

LiseWorks That what i was thinking. The secret passage 1d

julesG @BarkingMadRead At least one. 😁 1d

mcctrish Eleanor is hiding in the secret passage 🙏🏻 or used it to get away. Maybe it‘s a test AND an attempted murder 1d

willaful @mcctrish My theory as well! 1d

vonnie862 @mcctrish that's what I'm thinking too! 1d

peanutnine Definitely needed a secret passage! I'm thinking maybe there's one out of her office that helped Eleanor escape... Also loving the few Ethan pov chapters scattered throughout now 1d

CogsOfEncouragement Still laughing at chapter 39 “Maggie had known chaos…San Diego Comic-Con…MurderFest when word broke out that Ethan Wyatt got a new leather jacket… 1d

OriginalCyn620 @mctrish I think you‘re right! Also, I‘m just glad Ethan and Maggie kissed! 1d

Skygoddess1 I‘ve been waiting for the secret passage to be found 1d

mcctrish @willaful @vonnie862 ooo did Eleanor know someone would try to kill her or have things escalated?! 1d

vonnie862 @mcctrish maybe?! I have hope that she's still alive. 22h

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.31-35: I think I may be obsessed with Ethan now - the romance in this book is ramping up, and there‘s no one who deserves it more than Maggie. Man, Colin is a jerk. I feel so bad that she was treated like that by her husband. She deserves so much more!

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.26-30: well things have definitely escalated and now there‘s a chance that Maggie was wrong and they‘re all in danger. But I so wanted her to be right! She better stick close to Ethan because it seems he‘s the only one in the house who‘s thinking straight.

mcctrish So Ethan is an ex-high level bodyguard? Or some kind of operative ? And that‘s why he has no backstory and knows gunshots when he hears them and what kind of gun was shooting? I liked Maggie‘s game idea better 3d

This is what I‘m currently reading and my reading buddy. He‘s the neighbor‘s cat. His name is Sky but at our house, we call him Tom. My mom and I feed him when he visits us so I guess he‘s our cat too. He never went home last night. He stayed inside all night and I put him outside before I went to bed so he could use the bathroom and he was outside today when I got up and I fed him. He went home after that and then he came back again hungry.

kelli7990 I don‘t know if I like this book or not. I don‘t like the female main character. She‘s mean but I like the guy. I‘m interested in the mystery a little bit. 4d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.21-25: Maggie is on a mission and she doesn‘t care if she leaves anyone behind. Better she does it first than let them leave her. Which is why she can‘t trust Ethan right now and can‘t share what she thinks she knows. Is she right though? Is this a test set up by Eleanor? If so, there‘s no one who knows her more than Maggie. Maggie is set to win. But will she need help along the way?

mcctrish I‘m not sure I trust Ethan. The editor could have told Ethan the same message she told Maggie. He obviously had a few women disappointed that he was blowing off Christmas ( is that cuz he‘s flirty with everyone and they can‘t read the room or is he a serial dater?!) so he might have demanded/required the same forceful shove to get in the plane and figured out there was a game afoot and wants to be in team Maggie for nefarious reasons 4d

OriginalCyn620 I was wondering if Eleanor gathered everyone because she was setting up a game or contest. But I agree that Maggie shouldn‘t trust Ethan…at least not yet. 4d

See All 9 Comments

BarkingMadRead Still not sure about Ethan, but if this is a test, Maggie is set to win for sure! 4d

LiseWorks For some reason, I think Ethan, even though he has a reputation when it comes to Maggie it's something else. I think Eleanor set them both up to be together 4d

StayCurious @LiseWorks agree. Eleanor is obviously lonely. Maybe she doesn‘t want Maggie to end up like her. 4d

Skygoddess1 I think this is Eleanor‘s way of plotting to bring Maggie and Ethan together. I also want to know why no one has thought to look for a hidden passageway? 4d

willaful I'm assuming Maggie's right but I sure wouldn't want to be in her shoes if she isn't. 4d

vonnie862 I agree with many of you. I feel that Eleanor set everything up. 4d

Just wanted to catch up with #LittensLoveRomance but then got sucked in and read the whole story in one sitting.

Loved the banter. The mystery was well-crafted. Enough information to keep me turning the pages, but not too much so that I was bored by the foreshadowing. The snowed in manor would be a dream to visit, including the greenhouse.

Susanita I showed this to one of the librarians, and she put us both on the holds list immediately. 4d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.16-20: oh I feel so bad for both Maggie and Eleanor. I think they are kindred spirits. In a room full of idiots (at least mostly). And what‘s up with Ethan being so cagey about his past? Sign me up for that seminar! I need to know all of his secrets. Poor Maggie - it seems she was sorely used by her ex and her ex friend. Seems Colin‘s family lost money and he married her to get her book royalties. Seething on her behalf.

catiewithac One of the reasons I decided to read this book was the dedication. This is a feminist romance, make no mistake! 💪🏼 5d

BarkingMadRead I‘m intrigued about Ethan for sure and I really want to crush her ex and her ex friend! They totally used her and left her with nothing. Who does that?!? Ugh! 5d

See All 12 Comments

catiewithac @BarkingMadRead Yeah, the exes sound particularly evil and cunning. 5d

OriginalCyn620 Yes, can‘t wait to find out why Ethan is so secretive about his past. @catiewithac Love the dedication! 5d

mcctrish I intrigued with Ethan and a little put out by his possessiveness. Has Eleanor been kidnapped ? Hidden somewhere in the house with room for more? (edited) 5d

mcipher Oh the exes are the WORST! How horrible can people be to someone you‘re supposed to care about?!? 5d

mcipher Okay and having read ahead I‘ll tell you that Ethan‘s possessiveness make so much sense and is soooo cute later on @mcctrish 😉 5d

Skygoddess1 Maggie was definitely used by her ex husband and ex best friend, I want to hit and yell at both of them on her behalf. Ethan is definitely a mystery and I can‘t wait to see what we learn about him as the story unfolds 5d

julieclair I think Ethan is hiding his past because he grew up poor and feels embarrassed about it for some reason. And… I‘m wondering if Eleanor has hidden herself on purpose… creating her own mystery for her guests to solve. 5d

vonnie862 I'm mostly intrigued about what happened to Eleanor. 5d

vonnie862 @julieclair i was thinking that too 5d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.6-10: I‘ve been rewatching Downton Abbey and so far I can‘t help but picture the incredible Maggie Smith as Eleanor Ashley. So what is this mysterious lady up to? And is her niece CeCe involved? Why did she bring fellow mystery writers to her for Christmas? So many questions but I‘m so invested already! I already care a great deal for Maggie - her anxious internal monologue is so relatable. And Ethan is funny so far.

I dove in based on the title and cover art with expecting this to be a bit more holiday centric than it was, but that is true for me in a pile of holiday themed books. This romance was fun, I liked both Maggie and Ethan and rooted for their HEA. A cozy murder mystery writer falling for a serious crime thriller author makes for an entertaining storyline.

#LittensLoveRomance We‘re off to a very interesting start. I feel so much for poor Maggie - she‘s been through a lot. No wonder she‘s a bit of a recluse. Will this mysterious invite and getaway help break her out of her shell? Will she be able to handle having her professional nemesis there for the ride?

This was fun! It‘s super modest, despite some outlets calling it spicy, but what it lacks in intimacy it makes up for in twists and genre homages. The whole “Marcie” thing is also just so deliciously mortifying, so it gets a bonus point for that.

#LittensLoveRomance this month‘s vote was a nail-biter! Each book was in the lead at some point but this ended up taking it by a slim margin. Good news - I found it on kindle for $2.99 - I‘m hoping it‘s cheaper where you are or you can access your library‘s copy. There are like 66 chapters but I think they‘re short so we‘ll be reading 5 a day starting Dec 15.

I've skipped a lot of months this year, but I'm pretty stoked about December's #botm selections. I think the tagged book may be my most anticipated read for #wintergames2024.

Oh my gosh, I loved this! Mystery writers hunker down at an English manor and find themselves trying to solve a locked-room missing person case. Amazing chemistry, real issues to deal with, Agatha Christie vibes, character growth, just enough conflict to keep it interesting, it ticked all the boxes for me. A perfect read for Christmas time and one I‘ll probably revisit next year just for fun.

This was delightfully fun cover to cover! A locked room Christmas mystery romance featuring two author MCs. Maggie is a bestselling cozy mystery writer. Ethan writes spy thrillers and always calls Maggie by the wrong name. They are both invited to spend Christmas at the house of Eleanor Ashley: the reigning queen of mystery (ala Agatha Christie). But when Eleanor disappears from a locked room the first night it‘s up to them to solve the mystery.⬇️

MeganAnn Maggie and Ethan get closer while searching the manor for clues and opening up about their past. The author occasionally pokes fun at the tropes each type of writer is associated with and there are several moments that had me laughing out loud. If you want a Knives Out meets rom com style Christmas book that‘s exactly what this one is. 5⭐️ for the amount of fun I had reading this! 2mo
