Might an education conference be the right spot for a tryst?

My Near Miss was a math teacher from the school district. He was attractive in the khakis-and-polo way of many male teachers. Probably coached a sport, like track or girls’ basketball. He and I had smiled at each other from across the room at a panel about inclusive practices in the classroom, flirted a little bit over stale, lukewarm coffee from the carafe at the coffee station after the panel, and then serendipitously ran into each other at the hotel bar that evening. If I thought it was weird that a local guy was hanging out at the hotel bar, I don’t remember it. I had looked up from the near-empty glass of wine I was sipping and saw him from across the crowded room, like something out of a movie. One smile later and he was at my side, a second glass of wine for me in his hand. A couple of smooth lines on his part, a brush of his hand against my arm, my shoulder, my hip, the small of my back, and I thought, rather desperately, *yes! Yes, this is what I need on this two-night break from my other life.*

Gotta love a friend who will keep you honest, especially when there's a potential hookup at the other end of that text message.

“Send that message by the end of next weekend or I will do it for you.” Ari’s ultimatum is just what I need: more time, but also a poke in the back sending me forward off the plank. Still, I set the phone down and playfully push back. “Yeah, right. Like I’ll ever allow you access to my phone.” I casually begin prepping a cracker with a very generous portion of the creamy cheese. Ari smirks. “Oh, you won’t have to. Let me guess. Your PIN is Miles’s birthday?” I scoff. “No.” “Jonathan’s?” I stuff the cracker into my mouth. “Josephine Rose Morgan!” “OK, I don’t like when you use my full name like that. And that’s the second time you’ve done it today,” I say around the mouthful of cheese. “Well then you need to stop doing stupid s*** like making your PIN the second-easiest possible number to guess.” “Not everyone is an IT genius like you and can hack into anything.” “First of all, it doesn’t take a genius to guess a PIN based on the birthday of someone you love. Second of all, I’m not and have never been a hacker. Third of all, it is literally like 100% of my job to get idiots like you to use secure PINs and passwords.” She leans back in her chair and glares at me, but I know Ari well enough to know that she’s not really mad at me. Annoyed, yes, and I feel duly chastened.

I’m a couple months late to the Storm celebration, but… God, what I wouldn’t give to go back and reread all Sarah MacLean books for the first time. These Summer Storms made me ache, cry, and laugh. The writing is gorgeous. The narration is perfection. (Julia Whelan, of course) 💙📚 #romancelandia

Zomromcom by @oliviawrites.bsky.social was an absolute delight. The banter was hilarious, the action was tense, the zany supporting cast of characters shone. More addictive than highly-processed foods, I devoured this book. Can’t wait for the next one. 💙📚 #romancelandia
The bright digital book covid of Zomromcom by Olivia Dade. The two main characters stand back-to-back, holding hands, wielding their weapons of choice.

Another Mary Jane Wells narrated book, Game Point by Meg Jones was a fun follow-up to the first in the series, Clean Point. I love books that provide satisfying character exploration of a previous villain-type (although Dylan wasn’t quite a villain). Glad she got her own story! 💙📚 #romancelandia

LOVE narrator Mary Jane Wells, so The Duchess by Sophie Jordan was a nice listen. I enjoyed the premise and the two main characters were compelling, but the book seemed a bit thin in the middle. I wanted a bit more intimacy between the MCs to justify the book’s resolution. 💙📚 #romancelandia

Finished listening to @eraofemma.bsky.social’s fantastic You’re the Problem, It’s You last night. This was a satisfying read. I love queer historical romances that don’t pretend like the stakes aren’t high.

“Alex, can I have some pizza?” the sweet voice of my son interrupts what feels like an electric moment. “Yeah, bud. If your mom says it’s OK, of course.” Alex brushes one of Miles’s too-long curls away from where it has fallen over his eyes in a gesture that is so agonizingly paternal. My chest tightens.

Quote with your current top 4 books of the year. (Had a hard time with this. More than 1 TJ Klune book was in the running.) #Booksky #romancelandia

End of Story by @kyliescott.bsky.social has been in my Libby tagged section for probably over a year. Just started listening to it last night on my run. The audiobook narration is fantastic and I love how the mystery is set up in the first chapter. #AmListening #AmRunning #romancenovel #booksky

There have been only two people besides me who have slept in my bed since Jonathan passed. One is Ari. On a couple of separate occasions—very rough nights—she has spent the night, holding my hand as I cried myself to sleep. One time she was crying too, and I wondered if she was thinking about Nate. But most of the time it is Miles, having come to my room in the middle of the night after a bad dream or during a thunderstorm or due to any other number of reasons. Those times, morning comes with him tucked into my shoulder or with his feet somehow pressing against my neck or stomach. This morning, however, I wake up to the feeling of a warm body pressed against my back. An arm is slung over my torso, a hand under my shirt and splayed flat against my stomach. It awakens a sensory memory in me of being loved, cared for. I snuggle in deeper. Wait… Oh shit. Oh shit!

Nearly done with @megjoneswrites.bsky.social’s Clean Point, and I love it! Perfectly timed listening to this book with the few days a year when I pay attention to tennis. Narration is excellent. (Mary Jane Wells always is.) Takes a while to get to the 🌶️ but it’s worth it. #booksky #romancenovels
