This was one of two books assigned for June for Romance Book Club.

Stephan is from a very rich, powerful family. Carter used to be a big-time actor in Hollywood. Somehow, neither of them knew anything about the other 😂

Everything somehow works out and love endures.

It's funny how I think these same-sex romances are going to be salacious, but they end up being more Hallmark than anything 😄

Again, not my usual genre for our #AccidentalBookClub, but I really enjoyed this quick read. I predicted parts of it, but it was an enjoyable page-turner that was better written than #TheSilentPatient, our last #BOTM club pick. #Recommend

3.5🌟 I wasn‘t a huge fan of the transition between part 1 and part 2. It seemed a lot abrupt to me, and quite frankly it got me a bit lost of a bit. It took me a while to get back into the rhythm of the book. I did enjoy the ending, though. It seemed to drag a bit in a few places, but that could have been the narration as well. It was a nice little escape for my Saturday, though.

If nothing else, Fredrick Davidson, the guy who reads this, does women‘s voices so well. He actually sounds like a woman when he does his women‘s voice. It‘s very well read.

jmofo Oh no! It‘s another of my favorites! (Also my favorite book to film.) 6y
GingerAntics @jmofo I just saw that it‘s been made into a movie when I was looking for the book cover. I‘m going to have to see about getting my hands on the movie when I get done. I like it so far. 6y
jmofo This is a weird love for me. I am not much of a romantic so the characters individually interest me. Mr. Emerson (George‘s dad) is my hero. It has helped me frame how I look at some of my interactions with people, though. 6y
GingerAntics @jmofo I‘ve suddenly found myself with only 5 chapters left. Although I will also admit that I‘ve been working out bits and pieces of my NaNo story in my head while listening, so I‘m not sure I‘ve followed along as well as I should. 6y

I'm sure the tagged book does not have #ARoomWithAView, it's been on my #MountTBR for ages. 🙈

The series on the right is very fluffy. There might be a few #LipstickLies in them.

Anyway, the #LipstickLies I tell myself when I buy yet another new one in a colour shade that I already have several lipsticks in at home,... 🙈🙈🙈😜😉😵

Cinfhen Hahaha 😂😂😂so true 💄💋 6y
Kalalalatja Hahaha, yep! 👄💋💄 6y
Caroline2 Yep!!! I do the same! 💄 🤦🏻‍♀️ (Room is a brilliant book btw and the film is really good too!) 6y

DivineDiana Yes! So many lipsticks! 💄💋❤️ 6y

This is where the books are stored, downstairs in the part of the basement that‘s finished. There on the ledge is the #PnPCovers collection, with the Jane Austen book shelf to the left, and in the mirror you can make out the other shelves, which host the pirate and nautical books!

Cinfhen I like your system!!! 6y
Kalalalatja Soooo many P&P books 😍😍😍 6y

Readergrrl You have a whole shelf for just pirate and nautical books?? Can I come visit!?!? ⚓️⛵️🗺 6y
CrowCAH @Cinfhen thanks, I try to be organized! ☺️ 6y
CrowCAH @Kalalalatja @erzascarletbookgasm I know, isn‘t it great?! My ‘pride‘ and joy 😉 6y
CrowCAH @Velvetfur thanks! Good thing there‘s a mirror, otherwise it wouldn‘t have worked out so well! 6y
CrowCAH @Readergrrl are you a fan of pirates too? ☠️⚔️⚓️ The shelf hosts nonfiction, romance, children‘s, and series books. Some of them are “research” for the Golden Age of Piracy novel I‘m writing, while others are just for fun to read! 😁 6y

When I finished reading the book, I lay back and basked in its beauty and glory for a while. I had to catch my breath.

Page 204, I stop and reflect on what makes this work ultimately so stirring and profound. It is just a story. Why should it command such high regard? I play the devil's advocate against myself. But the minute I ask the question, my mind answers,

“It speaks the Truth, that is why.”

And I read on, and soon Mr. Emerson says, "Yes, for we fight for more than Love or Pleasure: there is Truth. Truth counts, Truth does count."
