🔥❤️ Writing a good romance hero can be tough, so it’s important to look inwards. What do you find sexy? What qualities do you look for? Have you ever met the perfect person in real life, and would you really be attracted to them if you did? 📚❤️

🩷 Book Review 🩷

There is a certain component of the plot that felt wholly unnecessary – iykyk - it doesn’t distract too much from the lovely relationship between Will and Lou. 📚✒️

💜 Book Review 💜

The real tragedy for Catherine is not that she made the wrong decision (between Heathcliff and Edgar), but that no right choice exists for an untamed woman in a patriarchal world.
