“When was the last time I'd had a relationship like that? I think I had shown that much affection to a Snicker's ice cream bar once, but it had been a tragically one-sided affair.”    ―      R.S. Grey,            The Allure of Dean Harper

💬 What’s your favorite romance trope? . Happy release day to #DateMeLikeYouMeanIt by @authorrsgrey! This is a friends-to-lovers story from the Rom Com Queen herself, and I can’t wait to read it!! . Candle by @bossypantscandle! Head over to check out their new holiday line! Use my code LIFEINLIT15 for a discount! . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ I’m good at hiding my feelings. Having to pretend I’m not in love with my best friend? Pfft. That’s child’s play. Here’s how I do it: I avert my eyes when he walks out of his room, shirtless in all his toned glory. I squash the butterflies that fill my stomach every time he slowly unfurls a dimpled smile. And, most importantly, I keep an arsenal of “personal massagers” in my bedside drawer. Wink. Not to brag, but Aiden Smith isn’t hard to resist if you’ve been doing it for as long as I have. In fact, we might have continued as best friends forever if not for the fact that I needed him to play the part of my fake boyfriend. Date me like you mean it, I told him. Nudge nudge. C’mon, just go along with a little lie, help a girl out, and then we can all return to life as we know it. Except he veered from the plan. He crossed the line. Flirting with me when no one else was around? Pinning me down and kissing me like that? Okay, how exactly is taking off my bra part of the ruse, Aiden?! I’d ask him about it if I could, but well…things got ugly and we’re not best friends anymore. In fact, we’re the exact opposite. Now, I have to play nice even though I want to crush his heart in the palm of my hand. Pretending not to love Aiden was the easy part. Pretending not to hate him? Well…I might need a little more practice. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #rsgrey #romancebooks #romancereadersofinstagram #booksaremyfriends #readingmakesmehappy #ilovemybooks #beautifulbookcovers #booklover #bookpage #booksofinstagram #igreads #themagicofbookstagram #thebookstagram #bookstagrammers #hyggelifestyle #readersofinsta #lovetoread #bookaesthetic #booknookstagram #bossypantscandles #targetstyle #targetfinds https://www.instagram.com/p/CHOo4j8HRPQ/?igshid=1tc1h5790opo8

💬 What’s your favorite sport to play, watch, or read about? . My favorite sport to play is basketball, but I love to watch football the most! . R.S. Grey’s next standalone rom-com, The Trouble With Quarterbacks, is coming August 6th! Check out this gorgeous cover!! And I have to say, I’m allllllllways down for a football sports romance!! . . . ✩ s u m m a r y ⇣ CANDACE: KAT & YASMINE! DO NOT DALLY! Come straight home after work. Kat, don’t take the long route from the subway station just so you can pass by Cute Hot Dog Guy. This is important! I’ve had THE BEST DAY. You won’t believe it. There I was in my preschool classroom, washing a bit of poo out of some soggy trousers, when this absolute babe came to collect his nephew from my class. Truthfully, I thought I’d blacked out for a moment when I first saw him. He was a proper hunk with glorious brown hair, quite tall, and he had these arms. Are muscly arms supposed to turn me on? I’m panting just thinking about them. Anyway, he told me he’s a professional foosball player. At least, I think that’s what he said. The tots can get quite loud near pick-up time. YASMINE: Foosball? What are you on about? Have you gone mad? KAT: Oh sod off. So what if I like to have a good look at Hot Dog Guy’s arse on my trek home after a hard day’s work? It’s called self-care. CANDACE: Kat, you’re hopeless. Yasmine, yes—foosball! I suppose it’s a big thing over here in the States? We must investigate and learn everything we can. By the way, he’s called Logan. Logan + Candace. I think that sounds quite nice! I can hear the wedding bells now. Dum dum da-dum. YASMINE: Oh good grief. I suppose we can do some snooping when I get home. I’ll grab wine on my way. KAT: I’ll grab hot dogs. THE TROUBLE WITH QUARTERBACKS is a hilarious romance about unlikely love found between a British preschool teacher and the professional quarterback who sweeps her off her feet. . . . ✩ h a s h t a g s ⇣ #thetroublewithquarterbacks #rsgrey #romancebooks #coverreveal #bookdragon #bookish #bookaddict #bookworm #booknerd #thehappynow #seekthesimplicity #bookstagrammer #bookhoarder #booksbooksbooks #calmversation #seaofbooks #booksbooksbooks #bookart #bookphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3pQ9rntvS/?igshid=1qr6j9p475dns

💬 What are some of your favorite tropes? . I love enemies to lovers, second chance and friends to lovers romances the most. 💕 . Happy Release Day to Love the One You Hate by @authorrsgrey! I'm a HUGE fan of R.S. Grey's books. I've never read one that I didn't love, and thankfully this was no exception. I felt this one was a bit different than her others, mainly because the romance wasn't the focus for the majority of the book, like it usually is. This story was much more about Maren and her daily life than it was an enemies-to-lovers romance. The romance was mainly only at the end. But since I wasn't looking for a full-on romance, this story was really enjoyable to me. Another great book by one of my favorite authors! . Thank you to @authorrsgrey for gifting me an e-ARC for review. . . . s u m m a r y : Nicholas Hunt is the man I hate. For good reason. His opinion of me is tainted by prejudice even before my arrival at his grandmother’s estate, and my first impression of him is just as abysmal. His arrogance and icy demeanor make it clear that he’s the type of man who’s best handled at a distance. Fortunately, space shouldn’t be an issue inside this Gilded Age mansion and its lush gardens. If I stick with the servants and he keeps to his sailboat and vintage Porsche, we should hardly cross paths at all. Unfortunately, at Rosethorn, I find that all roads eventually lead to Nicholas Hunt. Sparks fly as we spar at the dinner table. Fighting words are flung in the shadows of the palatial halls. We hang suspended in our hatred of one another, painfully oblivious to the heat and tension that build with every moment we’re left alone. We’re liable to kill one another, I think…right up until my eyes land on his lips and a new feeling grips hold of me: lust. What’s worse? He knows it. They say you should keep your enemies close, but when Nicholas tightens his grip on my waist and draws me near, I’m not sure if it’s out of loathing or love. One thing’s for sure—I intend to find out. . . . #lovetheoneyouhate #rsgrey #romancebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B_56PgrnbUC/?igshid=1gu82vo0iz1wp

I'm starting Anything You Can Do by @authorrsgrey today! I'm so excited for this one. I adore every single thing I read written by Rachel, so I just know I'll love this one too!! 💕And just look at that gorgeous cover! I adore that color combo so hard!! (As you can probably already tell since I own a scarf with the exact same combo! 😂) Anything You Can Do releases February 2nd! There's currently a preorder sale: preorder the ebook now through February 2nd for only $0.99!! (Link in bio!) . What are you currently reading?? ------------------------------------ 📖Synopsis: Lucas Thatcher has always been my enemy. . It’s been a decade since I’ve seen him, but our years on opposite coasts were less of a lasting peace and more of a temporary cease-fire. Now that we’re both back in our small town, I know Lucas expects the same old war, but I’ve changed since high school—and from the looks of it, so has he. . The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks. He is Lucas Thatcher 2.0, the new and improved version I’ll be competing with in the workplace instead of the schoolyard. . I’m not worried; I’m a doctor now too, board-certified and sexy in a white coat. It almost feels like winning will be too easy—until Lucas unveils a tactic neither of us has ever used before: sexual warfare. . The day he pushes me up against the wall and presses his lips to mine, I can’t help but wonder if he’s filling me with passion or poison. Every fleeting touch is perfect torture. With every stolen kiss, my walls crumble a little more. After all this time, Lucas knows exactly how to strip me of my defenses, but I’m in no hurry to surrender. . Knowing thy enemy has never felt so good. -------------------------------------- #anythingyoucando #rsgrey #newadult #romance

𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝑨𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝑹.𝑺. 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒚 “Well…” I wave my hand for him to get on with it. When he doesn’t, I’m forced to ask, “What did you tell him?” “There was nothing to tell. I couldn’t exactly tell the guy that you and I are at eternal odds. It’s not the sort of thing that’s easy to explain.” “You’re my mortal enemy,” I say, like it’s commonplace. “What’s hard to explain about that?” “Sure. But then people want details.” “Details? Simple.” I might as well be reading the back of a cereal box. “It was hate at first sight. I annoy you and you annoy me. As long as we both shall live.” _____⠀ #caribafiestacollage #bookcollage #bookstagram #cf_rsg #RSGrey #EnemiesAbroad #romcom #РСГрей #books #bookworm #bookaddict #cf_bookaesthetics https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbo9S3kg1GO/?utm_medium=tumblr
