Reese Ryan Writes

People often wonder what plant-based folks eat. A lot of things, actually. LOL. Yesterday the Virtuous Ladies Reading book club introduced me to an awesome local plant-based restaurant, @puresoulff. I was too busy chowing down to take photos. But I had the fish plate with macaroni and cheese and greens. So good. And that cornbread was DELICIOUS. It's a little bit of a hike from my house, but I'll definitely be back. For breakfast this morning, I made scrambled "eggs" with sautéed veggies using the product @justegg. So yummy! My husband (who isn't vegan) and I gobbled it up this morning along with some papaya. Our first time trying the fruit. It was good. Kind of tasted like cantaloupe. But I'm a mango and pineapple girl. #plantbased #vegan #blackvegan #blackplantbased #plantbasedfood #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedlife #plantbasedliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIqp78LQ4L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aww! This makes my heart so happy. I've been waiting a LOOOONG time for this book to come out. I'm so thrilled that Sin & Rett's story is closer to being out in the world and that readers are enjoying it. Thank you so much @missfancyreads! ❤️ Repost from @missfancyreads • 🏹 ARC REVIEW 🏹 Return to Hummingbird Way by @reeseryanwrites ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🖤 I absolutely loved every minute of this book! Garrett and Sinclair were “hate-crushes” as kids, not so secretly pining for each other since the whole town seemed to know they’d end up together! ❤️ Their relationship was mature from start to finish which is an huge plus for me! I stan a book that opts for good adult communication rather than a 3rd act breakup. Bonus points for Rett usually being the one to push them through hard conversations! 💚 The story goes on a journey with the MCs as they learn new things about themselves, each other, and the town they grew up in. It felt like a true grown and sexy novel, emphasis on the grown! There was banter without immaturity. Disagreements without dramatics. This was well done, an easy 5⭐️ I read this as an arc on @netgalley from @readforeverpub. Return to Hummingbird Way is available April 25th! . . . . . . . #blackauthors #readblackauthors #blackstorytellers #blackromancenovels #blacklove #blackhistorymonth #netgalley #readforeverpub #bookish #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookreview #authorrecommendation #goodreads #bookrec #bookfluencer #explore #readersofinstagram #booktok #romancebooks #romancereader #romancereadersofinstagram #booknook #bookstagrambookclub https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9yz2drrcO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So here are the next two books in my Valentine Vineyards series: ONE SUMMER OF LOVE—Wine-drinking, superhero-loving Blerds (Black nerds) falling in love and SNOWBOUND SECOND CHANCE (snowed-in grumpy sunshine, but both struggle w/ anxiety). I'm so in love with both of these covers.

I love getting unexpected book mail. Especially when it contains The Nannies of Manhattan goodies from @_ksterling_. Thank you so much! I can't wait to read Giles & Riley's love story, and that adorable mitten cookie was delicious. I'm wearing my friendship bracelet and adore the beautiful matching blue lace agate stone--which helps with focus and concentration. (And if you know me, you know I need that.) The pop rocks took me back to being a kid. :-) Such a fun box. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaYmcGvSjX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Isn't it gorgeous? Thank you, Aisha! 🥰❤️😘❤️ Repost from @aisharest • #AishasBookWorld ★ NEW #REVIEW ★ ♦ #HarlequinMarathon. #Season2, Episode 2. ♦ A COWBOY KIND OF THING (Texas Cattleman's Club: The Wedding # 1) by REESE RYAN @reeseryanwrites This is my first Harlequin book of the year and, although I haven’t finished the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Ranchers and Rivals series yet (only three left!), this story—the first one in the The Wedding series of the TCC franchise—gave me a vibe that it would be a good one. And my gut feeling was right about it, even though I’m a bit biased with the franchise (I’ve read almost all of the series included in it). A witty, sassy, funny and alluring love story who sets the bar high for the next installments of the series. A book you can read easily and a perfect pace and unforced transitions, perfect for a weekend read. With a smart writing with tons of personality and incredible main characters, Reese Ryan is officially in my Fetish Authors list.

It’s heartbreaking to see this happening over and over again. What’s sadder still is we all know this won’t be the last Black man who’ll be brutally beaten by police without cause and typically without accountability for their actions. And we all share the fear that the next Tyre will be our son, our husband, our neighbor, our friend. Or us. Rest in peace, Tyre. May you get the justice that you deserve. Please read both Naima's and Viola's words below. They capture my thoughts and feelings so well. Repost from @naimasimoneauthor • With diversity in romance we often say, “We deserve happily ever afters too.” I look at another Black man’s life lost at the brutal fists of police officers and I say, “We deserve to live and grow old too.” #Repost @violadavis with @use.repost ・・・ My deepest condolences to the loved ones of Tyre Nichols and all those affected by this senseless act of violence. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. 💔🕊🙏🏿 https://www.instagram.com/p/CoACupxrGlh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Release Day, babe! So proud of what you've accomplished with the Nannies of New York series and looking forward to all that is to come. Repost from @_ksterling_ • It’s Release Day! You can get Giles Ashby Needs A Nanny NOW! on #Amazon & #KindleUnlimited: https://amzn.to/3QUxyi3 Sometimes, a simple field trip to the planetarium can be an act of bravery. In Giles Ashby’s case, it could also be a second chance with his lifelong crush. Unbearably awkward and strangled by his anxiety disorder, Giles used surly snarls and abrupt remarks to keep everyone at a distance. As a result and surprising no one, he finds himself divorced and overwhelmed by the demands of parenting nine-year-old Milo —a shy, awkward clone of his father. Not wanting Milo to struggle through life the way he has, Giles enlists the help of Reid Marshall’s new nanny agency. Of all the nannies in Manhattan… Reid had to send Giles’s childhood crush, Riley Fitzgerald. Still smitten and as flustered as he was in middle school, Giles bungles every encounter with the “new” nanny. But sweet, clever, outgoing Riley is exactly what Milo needs. Riley thinks he knows what he’s getting into when he accepts a position working for his childhood nemesis, but Milo steals his heart the moment they meet. And “Giles the Jerk” isn’t as bad as Riley remembers. Or maybe Giles was never really all that bad… Riley finds himself swooning as Giles faces his fears in order to help Milo survive the fourth grade and win the science fair. But can Riley really trust his heart, when all his past relationships have been cursed? Could this time be any different? #mmromance #mm #gayromance #Romance #NewReleases #romancebooks #steamyromance #mmromancebooks #bookstagram #gaybookstagram #gaybooks #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readersofinsta #bookishlife #Bookstagrammers #KU #Bookcommunity #Gaybooks #LGBTQbooks #QueerReads #QueerAuthors #Queer #Booksofinstagram #Instabook #Bookstagramfeature #Queerbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4k1BFLVo5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
