Can’t pick just one

Feelings everywhere

Too many attractive people

Everyone ends up kissing

if everyone is catching feelings and nobody can make a decision, you're probably reading a why choose romance.

I'm heading straight into book two after that ending.

I enjoyed the first book, liked the FMC, and thought the mates were sweet. There are still a lot of questions I want answered, and I'm curious to see how the relationships develop from here.

I'm especially interested to see when the FF romance enters the story, since that's one of the things I enjoy most about this author's books.

loving many is easy. the hard part is convincing everyone else i don't have to choose.

angels aren't usually my thing, but FF representation in RH absolutely is

Rebels & Rejects by R.A. Smyth

for readers who like their crushes complicated and their romance a little messy.

reading is my calm place.

🚩 Has a reputation

🚩 Calls everyone sweetheart except you

🚩 Leather jacket in July

🚩 Looks like he'd win a bar fight

🚩 Says "trust me"

🚩 Knows exactly how attractive he is

🚩 Shows up at the perfect moment

if he's fictional, my standards suddenly become very flexible.

"He looks good. That can't mean anything good."

everyone warned me about him, but somehow that only made me look closer.

sometimes the reading slump cure is simply going back to a world you already know owns your heart

Knot Guaranteed by Jillian West

for readers who love imperfect people finding where they belong.

reading is my calm place.

okay but now i need answers about whatever is going on with this school

and maybe a little more romance too

"something broken can make the beauty shine."

i filled every square this month.

honestly, one of the best things about these bingo boards has been discovering books i probably wouldn't have reached for otherwise. i'm learning what i like, what i don't, and giving new authors and series a chance.

this month taught me that i love sci-fi a lot more in movies and shows than i do in books. at least so far.

but maybe that's just a sign that i should try writing the sci-fi story i wish existed.

on to next month's board.

it may be summer but apparently my reading brain still thinks it's hockey season
