I just finished both Bride and Mate, and even though I'm not much for paranormal romance, I loved both of these! The stories are very captivating and interesting and I really enjoyed both books.

I might be partial to Mate because it's a bit cozier, but I absolutely loved both and now I want more! Maybe Ana's book when she's a bit older so we can get glimpses of Serena & Koen and Misery & Lowe! And I want Koen and Serena to have bunch of lil puppies, so maybe it could be one of their kids and Ana (although much later then bcs obvious reasons lol)

Also, now I have just one Ali book left to read before the others come out and it's making me sad! I hope Ali will always keep us well fed because our girl doesn't miss! <3

Finished Bride the other day and I have one question, spoiler ahead!

In chapter 21 he says that he needs to eat her out since she smells like she just came and says it's a Were thing, but then it's never mentioned again. Did Lowe just wanna eat her out and didn't know how to ask? I found this really funny since it's never mentioned again in the book. 😂

I don't know if it's a thing in Mate since I haven't read it yet (no big spoilers please), but do let me know what did you think when you first read this in Bride.

I know there will be some early screenings of the movie and I'm equally happy and jealous of those of you who will see it, but for the love of God, please don't spoil it for the rest of us! Please, please, please use the spoiler tag and proper flair!

I have no self control, but I'd really like to watch the movie without spoiling myself and I know people want to discuss it, but please don't spoil the rest of us! Even after Sept 23rd make sure to use the spoiler tag, thanks!

Also, can you believe it's coming out in a month!? I'm so excited for it and I can't wait!

Besides the few bonus chapters, is Not In Love the only Ali book with a pov from the mmc?

Granted, I haven't read Mate and Bride, but I did glance at them in the bookstore and if I remember well, they don't have a dual pov?

I loved Eli's pov in NIL, even if she did write it in the third person. I wish we had more male pov's, preferably in first person 😅

Can anyone send me any type of bonus content or chapters about The Love Hypothesis? I have read the bonus chapter in the hotel from Adam's pov (when they have sex for the first time), which was included in my book, and I know about their cameos in Love, Theoretically and Deep End, but I've heard there is more, so pleeease let me know!

edit - I just remembered and found the email from when I signed up for the newsletter, so I got chapter 1 from Adam's pov as well, are there any other ones?

I am soo happy, we're getting so much and three(3!) movie adaptations!! What!?

I am a little bit scared on how they're going to make these movies, especially with Deep End, but I am also beyond excited. I think The Love Hypothesis is going to do great, so fingers crossed for a Not In Love and Problematic Summer Romance series in our future.

AAAAHH! Super excited! 😄

I have eight more chapters to go and I absolutely love this book!! I inhaled it in one day and can't put it down, I'll finish it now, but couldn't wait to make a post 😆

Also, I can't believe Ali give us a>!virgin MMC!< and put it into this YA, closed-door novel, makes me wanna cry a little bit.

I never laugh out loud with books, but I have with this one. Seriously, if you were putting off reading this book, go pick it up now!

edit: I just finished it and I love it sooo much. >!The two twists that come at the end were great, I saw one of them coming from miles away, which is why I think the second one took me so by surprise,!< which never happens to me! I seriously cannot recommend this book enough! I just wish we had more insight into Nolan and his POV, he seems very interesting and I'd love to see it from his pov

Okay, first of all - big forehead kiss to everyone out there posting fanfic and feeding my obsession. I absolutely love you all!

But, ce n'est pas mon cœur by clairelutra, fucknasty, if you're on this sub, prettiest of pleases update this. I know it's au and imho it's a different story at this point, but I need you to continue this lol.

Also, anytime anyone posts a fanfic it motivates me to write and post my psr fics so thank you and please keep going!

edit: how does everyone feel about au fanfics? I've been playing around with an idea, but I'm not sure how well it'd be received

Can someone explain to me what do authors mean when they write things like:

"making my ovaries tingle"

I can understand it in some context as a metaphor for wanting to make someone a father, I guess? Although that is a stretch, but in a sexual context I can't understand this at all!

Is it me? Am I supposed to feel mine lol? What's everyone's take on this?

My doctor finally refereed me to a blood hormonal test, and I'm supposed to do a progesterone blood test tomorrow. From my understanding, it's to confirm ovulation. For some reason I had my ovulation this month, while I don't ovulate most of the time. Should I skip the test until my next cycle, just so my doctor wouldn't be like - everything is fine, you ovulate fine?

Also, should I do all of my hormonal tests on the same cycle? I know they're done on different days of the cycle, but should they all be in the same cycle, or is it okay to do them in two cycles?

I used ETUDE Soonjung 10-Panthensoside Cica Balm and I liked it, however it's no longer available. It was thick and nourishing and I think panthenol helped, maybe? I haven't used any others so I can't be sure. What is your holy grail for cica creams? (I have mixed acne prone skin, and by acne prone I mean I don't remember a single day of my life without acne 🥲)

I just read {Love him Like Water by Jessica Gadziala} and it was a good read. Upon reading it, my first thought was that I want Cinna and Nico to get together in the next book and I was a bit disappointed when I saw the next book is Cinna and Dav - I get why it makes sense, I just think Nico and Cinna would make a great story!

Anyone else share my opinion on Cinna and Nico? Can you let me know if {Need him like Oxygen by Jessica Gadziala} portrays Cinna as a badass that she is? No big spoilers pls, I can't stop myself from reading them.

Okay so I went through some previous posts and megathread for pregnancy tropes but almost all of them are one night stand turned into pregnancy. I'd really like something where they develop a relationship first and then they get pregnant. I'm also down for a series, if the story goes on through multiple books.

I'd like:

• contemporary romance
• established relationship before pregnancy
• happy ending
• mmc's baby
• edit: mmc is there for at least half of the pregnancy (sorry forgot to mention this!)

Things I'm not feeling for this specific case:

• fantasy
• paranormal
• historic romance
• western
• one night stand turned into pregnancy

Thanks everyone!
