  • #romancestagram week 2 / hero tropes / #betahero #smutathon tropes #strandedtogether ❤ Alistair acts like a grumpy, domineering alpha hero but deep down, when he's not trying to get rid of unwanted visitors, he has a sweet beta heart. He's a naturalist and a science geek who will prose on about badger scat at the dinner table. . . If he has any visitors to talk to, which he doesn't, because he's a recluse. He was tortured in the war and lost his left eye, the left side of his face, and assorted fingers. People literally scream at the sight of him so he's locked himself away in his castle and discourages visitors. Helen is a former Duke's mistress, desperate to hide and keep her two children (illegitimate by the Duke) safe from him. What better place than the tip of Scotland, posing as a housekeeper for Alistair? ❤ I really liked the strong theme of redemption that runs through their story. And I love how Helen stands up to him and refuses to give in to his temper. There are definite Beauty and the Beast vibes, but I love the twist Elizabeth Hoyt puts in it. And the way Helen's beauty was more of a curse than a blessing was such a good plot device. Watching Alistair fall in love with the children, too, is just adorable. Basically, I loved the story. #romancetropes #elizabethhoyt #romancereader #ilovebooks📚 #readersofig #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookcollector #bookseries #readharder #fairytaleretelling #bookish #booksoutside #nobookswereharmed
  • #romancestagram Week 2 / hero tropes/ #betahero And #smutathon Arranged Marriage 🌻 Wildflower by Lynda Bailey is that rare find, a Western historical erotic romance. There are plenty of books in each genre separately, but it's difficult to find a good book that combines all of it into one. Plus, Bailey is a local indie author, which is always a bonus! The plot is a tad predictable, I admit, but it was still a nice entertaining story. 🌻 Blurb: "She made a deathbed promise. Matilda Townsend has always dreamed of escaping Indian Territory and finding the acceptance she never had with her own father. As he lies dying from a fever, he asks her to marry so she'll be safe. She's then torn between winning her fathers approval, and freedom. He gained an unwilling wife. Logan Cartwright has loved Mat since he first started working for her father. Now the old man is dying and wants him to marry her. Logan knows how much Mat wants to leave. Can he set his dream aside for hers? Even as their passion blazes hotter than a prairie fire, they must confront a danger that threatens to destroy the ranch and divide them forever." #westernromance #lyndabailey #indieauthor #romancetropes #romancereader #bibliophile #readersofig #historicalromance #historicalwestern #readharder #eroticromance #booksofig #romancenovels
  • #romancestagram / week 2 Hero Tropes / #betahero And #smutathon Trope: friends to lovers. The story of Michael Stirling sounds like it won't disappoint on either trope. ❤ I haven't actually read Julia Quinn yet. *hides face in acute shame* 🙈I keep seeing her books all over #bookstagram though, especially for the historical romance takeover last month, and I couldn't resist. Our local used bookstore is going out of business and having a super sale, so I picked up a BUNCH of Bridgerton novels and I'm really looking forward to starting them! ❤ @bajgoodson suggested 'bittersweet' as the adjective for a going out of business sale. I'm inclined to agree. Yay for amazing sales! Boo for losing our good used bookstore! What adjective would you use? (This is the time to let you know I am 100% fine with cussing on/around my page. I love a good, inventive invective.) #bibliophile #ilovebooks📚 #bookaddiction #bookcollector #readallthebooks #readersofig #romancetropes #sexybooks #romancereader #juliaquinn #historicalromance #booksoutside #tbr #bookbyawaterfall #nobookswereharmed
  • In addition to #romancestagram this week is also #smutathon 😘 Hosted by @gingerreadslainey and @rileymarie1196 it's a weeklong challenge to find your favorite spicy books in seven different tropes. This is also my TBR for the challenge: 🔥enemies to lovers--Dark Skye, Kresley Cole 🔥friends to lovers--When He Was Wicked, Julia Quinn 🔥second chance--Dark Skye 🔥fake dating--um? Help me out! 🔥arranged marriage--Wildflower, Lynda Bailey 🔥stranded together--Slightly Wicked, Mary Balogh 🔥love triangle--kill this trope with fire! It started July 9th and ends on the 15th. Since this is a #lategram I'm also using it for two tropes, enemies to lovers and second chance. Melanthe and Thronos definitely handle both and holy cold showers Batman, is this book hot. I just discovered Kresley Cole last fall (I know, WAY late there, SE) and now I've got all 15ish books in her Immortals After Dark series on my Thriftbooks wish list. Thriftbooks is my smut supplier! I can't wait to see what books pop up for these tropes in the challenge. Especially love triangle, since I've got nothing for that one 😂 I suuuper hate love triangles. Like, detest them. But there might be a really good one for smutathon. I'm willing to be convinced! #romancetropes #lurve #romancereader #eroticromance #readersofig #readharder #paranormalromance #kresleycole #darkskye #IAD #bibliophile #booknerd #booknerdsneedbooksex #booksoutdoors
  • Kicking off #romancestagram / week 2 Hero Tropes / with my absolute favorite #betahero 🌟 Devin MacKade is everything you could love in a hero. Quiet, patient, understanding, firm, funny, fearless, and so full of love. He's the town sheriff of Antietam, Maryland, and the whole town relies on him. If he has a fault it's being *too* patient. He didn't make a move on Cassie when he fell in love with her as a teen and then she married another man. So Devin got to watch as her husband showed his true character, which was abusive. As the sheriff, Devin helped all he could but until Cassie was ready to get a divorce there wasn't much he could do. When she finally leaves her abuser, he still waits an entire year to follow his heart, and he's so gentle with her scars. You can't help adoring Devin as much as Cassie does by the end of the book 😍 #romancetropes #herotropes #romancereader #ilovebooks📚 #contemporaryromance #readersofig #readharder #noraroberts #romance #themackadebrothers #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookdragons #booksoutside #highway88california #readoutdoors
  • #romancestagram / week 1 Hero Tropes / Anti-heroes / ⭐ Today's anti-hero, Darius en Kragin, is a shape shifting warrior, the guardian of Atlantis. The magical world has stayed hidden all these years because no one who found it has ever told about their find. The reason they've never told is Darius, because he has killed every single one. 🗡 Until Grace stumbles through the portal and . . . he can't kill her. You wouldn't think the hero barely, reluctantly, stopping himself from killing the heroine would be the start of a good love story 😂 but @genashowalter can pull it off like no other author. #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookishhoard #bookaddiction #readersofig #readallthebooks #romancetropes #romance #romancereader #amreading #romancenovels #bookpic #paranormalromance #genashowalter #atlantisseries #booksoutside #bysagebrush #idunno #itwasgreen #bookish
