I #read Claimed by the Barbarian Warlords by Charmaine Ross (#book 1/Stolen Planet). I think it’s great when FMCs assert & fight for their own agency, but the burden of assholery behavior that provokes the fight for independence often rests on the MMC(s) in that plot line. This is the case for this story. I wanted to kick the alien warlords for being dumbasses for 75% of the book. #reading#books#romance#romancelandia#romancebooks@romancebooks https://amzn.to/47O0TTb
I #read Snowed In With A Dragon by Sara Ivy Hill. This Christmas #book of a sweet stalkerish dragon who waits for his girl until her boyfriend cheats on her is a little red-flaggy if you want your #romance to be perfectly socially acceptable. Hill does honor consent. #reading#books#romancelandia#romancebooks@romancebooks
I #read Lauren’s Barbarian by Ruby Dixon (#book 1/Icehome - an Ice Planet Barbarians spin-off) as an #audiobook. I meant to buy Willa’s Beast so I was surprised when I started listening, but it’s Ruby Dixon, so I couldn’t go wrong! In this installment, Lauren gets separated from the group, ends up in a deserted island, and resonates to a blue 4-armed alien who she can’t speak to. #romance#books#reading#romancebooks#romancelandia@romancebooks
Just #read Alien Healer by Sue Mercury (#book 2/Vaxxlian Mates). This short alien #romance novella is a rescue & rehab of a human female. Themes of arranged marriages, forced marriages, pregnancy, etc but no glaring consent issues between MCs (sometimes I struggle with this author over the excessive violence in her books). Haven’t read book 1 but will. #books#reading#romancebooks#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks
I’ve just finished #reading Silent Vows by Jill Ramsower (#book 1/The Byrne Brothers). I will definitely be following up on the other #books in this series. Lots of meh on GR but I liked it for the FMC & her attempts to adjust to a different sort of crime family while still traumatized by her father. Also I like OTT possessive protective MMCs so this was a win for me. #arrangedmarriage#read#romance#romancebooks#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks
I #read R’jaal’s Resonance by Ruby Dixon. This is the 1st #book of the spin-off series Ice Planet Clones from her famous OG Ice Planet Barbarians #romance#books. #reading these is still a delight. I LOVED ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this one. This is my 45th book I’ve read from this world. #romancebooks#romancelandia@romancebooks
