See me. Admire me. Love me.

My hubby bought this for me on a recent business trip. I'm enjoying the short format love stories, but they all seem to be focusing on rather depressing elements of love. As a romance reader I keep hoping in vain for an HEA... 1/3 of the way in

Best spoiler alert ever. And I'd much rather read about this in a historical romance than IRL. #romantsy #osrbc

It's a love triangle that had me switching teams mid book and then wondering how the hell she was going to pull it off. But it works and it's totally believable. I can't wait for book 2 in the series. #teamryan #teamjude #canihavewhoeverisleft

One clicked based on the gorgeous cover and it did not let me go! American political setting layered over Arthurian legend, with a healthy dose of erotic kink woven throughout, it kept me up until 3 am. Def an Erotic romance, but the characters and relationships are so well done. There is a Dom/Sub pair and the discussions of consent that happen are so so good. I tends to dislike 1st pov and time hopping but this book needed them and it works.

Seems an appropriate choice to pick up again this morning.

Just getting started, but right now I'm #teamryan. Because who doesn't want to be looked at the way a reader looks at a book... #osrbc #romantsy

I started this last night...silly, I know, and I could not put it down. I picked it up again this morning and ignored my children until I was able to finish it. I was completely pulled into this story, and I needed to know what happened next. Excellently crafted enemies to lovers plot, done in first person which I generally don't care for. Here it works and works well!

I remember getting to this realization myself. My house will never be the cleanest or the prettiest, but my children will know love and creativity within its walls. I remind myself of this often when I pick up a book instead of a laundry basket.

Oh my God! The MASSIVE Harlequin Sale might beggar me. I had no idea the Sons of Chance series went up to #16! But at $1.99 a book I might be persuaded... #harlequin #18000booksonsale #romantsy #osrbc #crazysauce

I've moved on to Red Lily. The ghost subplot felt appropriate for October. I love the way this trilogy tackles love at different ages and stages of life. #reread #romantsy

First cold rainy day of fall? Black tea in this mug, dinner already simmering on the stovetop, and the In The Garden trilogy while the baby naps. #perfect #romantsy #osrbc

I was mighty tempted at the vintage shop....#parkplacevintage

"Tiara, that's fancy for crown." #fancynancy #hicklebees Also the bell from Santa in Polar Express. Seriously this bookstore warrants a visit just for its amazing museum of book artifacts. (And a great selection of children's books sold by devoted and knowledgeable staff)

If anyone was looking for The One Ring, it's at #hicklebees. Along with Miss Rumphius' lupine seeds and Ralph's motorcycle helmet.

I love love love my local kids bookstore. #hicklebees

The perfect partners for a dinner alone at Le Bou

Picked this up on kindle sale recently. Started it this morning and I am already cursing the soccer games for making me put it down...#romantsy #osrbc
