Have just discovered Anna Zaires recently and oh my goodness

After finishing the Twist Me series I dived straight into Capture Me series 💎

Wow oh wow, I love Lucas the most I think here. and like his story with Yulia.

I’m only on book 2 halfway through but yeah, obsessed and swept away doesn’t even cover it

I discovered this author/series around 4 years and would not have been ready to read this before now.

A classic that went platinum off in my house (2 years ago when I discovered it)

This single imo shouldn’t have been left off the album, really showcased Brian’s vocals too, and what happened when they came together as a band leaped off the speakers.

Phenomenal. ✨

The moment he realized he loved her?

Rewatching Pretty Woman for the zillionth time.

To me it felt like when Edward said “besides, I already have one” when he realized he was in hook line sinker

“Would’ve paid 4”

What about yours?

Sit on my rightful throne

When they can’t beat you they have to be you
It’s like a voice or opinion they didn’t matter
I’m thinking it hurt knowing do something for that he wouldn’t do for me
But you still think of me don’t u, projection
I think hearing that triggered u so u always had to go to ur safe space it’s what you know it’s like triggers

Like to hurt me in. Away u just run all
The time

You’d never talk to me til 3am even though I cried myself to sleep it all good just means you were never right for me, guess you didn’t really truly love me , but u always stalk enough since I was 12 years old

My suffering is always overlooked not taken in or observed by the people
Blind to it or just don’t care

Who am I to sympathise when no one gave a damn for sure

I dwell in the land of what is what could’ve been that should’ve been me

There’s just not enough times you can break my heart

MOST OF THESE MEN ARE GAY
Clearly f my feelings and how I felt

They talk about it as if it’s some type of achievement, it’s clearly a rat race to them but it never been a race to me

The magic of All Too Well in October in Red 🍁 🍂

This came to me in a dream but this song really enscapulstes October when fall is in its midst speeding up the finale of auburn burnt leaves falling to the ground like you’re in a car speeding toward its end, a brief moment of time

I finished my 2nd re read of The Maddest Obsession by Danielle Lori and it was so delicious

Christian Aalister might be the hottest MMC I’ve read this year, he is the maddest obsession and I can’t get enough of his sexcapades or tumultuous love, what an absolutely amazing read this was and even better on re read that I devour over and over.

So sad that the author looks like a kinda remission one, pretty hard to top this tho 😮‍💨

The FMC is fun too.

Father Ralph’s Di Bricroissant role in the The Thorn Birds (1983)

Yeah it’s over 40 years old but I’ve known about this and liked it for 13 years.

We’ll make it a safe space to talk about it.
Can we talk about how arrogant he was at times? Did he love Meggie or was it just the escape?

We can think of it as like Ralph Di Bricroissant was like Richard Chamberlain playing himself as an actor leading man (church/ Hollywood)
Meggie = secrets of his personal life why he got
this role down to a tee.

40 years later of Father Ralph Di Bricroissant role in the Thorn Birds (1983)

After over 40 years we can discuss this, can’t we? I’ve known and watched this for 13, but can we make this a safe space to share how we feel about Ralph? Was he right? Arrogant at times? What his love affair with Meggie really meant?

Was it the escape that got him?

We can think of it as like Ralph Di Bricassart was like Richard Chamberlain playing himself as an actor leading man (e.g think of it like the church metaphorically being a symbol stand in for Hollywood)
Meggie: secrets of who he was in his personal life and why he got this role down to a tee.

He carried this show if I say so myself.

Ana Huang’s Pivot Consultant By Day, Erotic Romance Writer By Night podcast

Did anyone else receive Ana Huang’s newsletter last week and listen to her podcast? I believe she actually was interviewed in April but we got to officially listen last Friday.

She talks of her childhood and having a Chinese/American upbringing and how she used to write on Wattpad before becoming something more “adult” I guess in the “adult world” of things by having her day job, and then once the Pandemic hit, she focused more on her writing, went back to it, and I’m so glad she did.

She birthed some amazing groundbreaking if I say so myself back to back romance books.

The most interesting thing to me is was her anxieties of getting Twisted Games published as she was worried how a follow up could’ve flopped after Twisted Love being the sensation it was.

I’m so glad she did, it went through and was even more successful I’d say. She has some of my favorite books ever because of her courage and belief going through with it.

Also on how she was a TikToker before BookTok became the new thing, and how it helped promote and market her writing through her own sheer creativity.

For those who want to take a listen, the interview is here.

I also love how she mentioned that characters she’s written aren’t necessarily fictional and are based on stuff that maybe happens throughout her life so far, and also people she KNOWS, things she has seen. Her characters have always felt real to me.

Are there any moments that stick out that made you cry in the books?

Could be from any of the series and any of the couples or moments. I know what my answer is.
Obvs Rhys dumbfounded going, “No your Highness, I’m sorry.” After their post coital after everything they went through when they “broke up”. It felt like I was kicked.

The glee I felt when he went, “Come here, baby.” Rooftop moment, can’t tell you how much I think of that all the time.

We all know how Ana tugs at the heartstrings and her way with words rises up all the emotions.

Also quite gutting was when Alessandra left Dominic and he’s just left in their apartment like can’t quite believing. “wtf did I do?”

Scarlett’s flare up with chronic pain and her management was also a contender, relatable too. I loved how sensitive Asher was to her then.

Someone to Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas

I’ve spent the last 6 months. (First half of this year dedicated to this woman’s bibliography and upon re read, I think this is by far my favorite, her best).

The 3 Bow Street Runners books are all really sexy and her standouts and most memorable to me.

I went back and re-read Dreaming Of You was nowhere near as good as I remember it. At 14 years old I remember it being the best thing ever.

Skipping through some odd ones that didn’t quite catch my attention and her modern day contemporary romance which seemed okayish but didn’t seem quite her forte.

Her early 90s titles were also quite unique and super romantic all hitting the spot. Bangers.

Devil in Winter was pretty iconic, for me Sebastian St Vincent > Derek, I was completely taken.

Out of all of them Someone to Watch Over Me was still that b*tch and her crown jewel to me.

Anyone else feel that way?
