“But I don’t love you, Daisy, and you can’t begin to know how sorry I am about that because if I could choose anyone in this world to love, it’d be you.”
You have no right to hurt me this way, SEP, you have no right!!!! This is so mean, please do it again!!

I have a toxic relationship with emotionally painful stories. The more gut wrenching it is the more likely it will become my comfort read. I am not gonna read into the psychology behind that for now though lollll
If you're like me and you love stories with sweet, misunderstood little goofball fmc and cold, mean, asshole mmc, this is the book for you. Nothing is better than an arranged marriage with a man that couldn't give two shits about you! That's peak romance if you ask me.
[image]
Alex Markov is a cold son of a bitch. He is stubborn, hardheaded, mean to Daisy, and he wants her gone yesterday. He's the manager and one of the performers at the Quest Brothers circus. He knows Daisy doesn't belong in this kind of world, and that's exactly why he's bringing her there to work with him.
He's determined to make this married life as difficult as possible for Daisy so that she would have no choice but to leave.
“They were meaningless, and you know it. I told you from the beginning how this was going to be. I don’t respect you—I don’t even like you very much—and I sure as hell don’t have any intention of playing the bridegroom.”
Daisy Devreaux is one of my favorite heroines ever. People, including Alex, seems to think she's stupid, shallow, and can't think for herself. She had an unusual childhood, so she didn't grow up like most people.
Sure, she's never worked in her life before, never had a reason to change her life. But she's a good person. She's got good spirits. She's kind to the bone. She's honestly just a little goof.
But no one, and I mean no one, especially not Alex, seems to want to give her a chance.
The first half of the book was pretty much just her being all alone and being treated unfairly by people in the circus. Yes, including Alex.
It was so sad, but for me it also had some of the most powerful moments in contemporary romance. Daisy's determination to prove everyone wrong while staying true to herself was so damn admirable.
She might be crying while trying to finish whatever the hell crappy thing Alex made her do, but she was doing it and hell would freeze over before she would let Alex see her give up.
Man, just remembering that moment now got me all emo. Crying your eyes out while trying to finish your job because you're an adult with adult responsibilities so you have to fit in your little menty b during work? She's just like me
[image]
Alex may be a jerk, but it's also one of the reasons why this book is so great. You know the more he makes her life hell, the better the grovel will be. And there is grovel. This book is one of the most suggested titles in the grovel reddit megathread lol
And - to ease your fears. Alex is an ass, but deep down he's a good man. I know it sounds so cliche, but he really is. He's mean, but more so because he just doesn't believe in love. I don't think his treatment towards Daisy (in the beginning when he's mean) ever crosses any lines he shouldn't. He's just too in his head.
Also the biggest shoutout to the side characters. All the circus people!! They were all awful to Daisy in the beginning, but to be fair it would've been boring if they were all nice. And honestly they were just misguided lol and they're still fun to read about.
And the animals. I didn't know how much I'd like the circus aspect in this story because I wasn't familiar with it. But it was such a perfect setup for this. The caged animals made me so sad. But I was also glad for them because she became the friends Daisy needed when she was all alone. Her whole arc with the animals is SO freaking good.
A little complain I had... (but not really a complain?), when I read it I was like, I did not need to know this, was the little flashback with Sheba...
Who's Sheba, you ask? She's the owner of the circus. And she's the ex f buddy. The OW, if you will.
I KNOW, I KNOW. But trust me, you want an OW drama in this. It makes the angst even more delicious. TRUST. And I'd say the situation with her is a little unique, her lack of relationship with Alex doesn't really bother me, it's more so her treatment towards Daisy.
Sheba's not really that bad, but I'm a petty little bitch, so I will never forgive her no matter what ends up happening in the end <3
But yeah, I could do without the flashback, but the more I thought about it, the more I accepted it because... SEP might've done something with that one. Maybe we should trust her on this LMAOOO knowing that detail just added to the pain, you know? ✨And the more pain the better✨
I ate up every little scene where you could tell Alex was starting to realize he was wrong about Daisy and that she might be the best thing to ever happen to him. It was glorious. Seeing Alex slowly melt for Daisy was probably one of the best experiences I've had reading romance books. (and this is why we love that he was mean at the start, folks)
I mean... he goes from "I don't respect you" to making Daisy's trust in him his favorite thing in the whole world lol
“As he caught her against his chest, he decided this was what he liked the most about her. The way she didn’t hesitate. She’d known he’d catch her, no matter what.”
HE LIKES BEING NEEDED BY DAISY. He likes being the only one she trusts to catch her. Because he will. No matter what. Excuse me while I go scream.
[image]
And the grovel... the grovel!!!!!! It was perfect. I wish it was longer but that's because I've been spoiled by some books that were almost 90% pure grovel, but man, those few chapters where Alex was pretty much losing his shit because Daisy didn't love him anymore.....
“I don’t love you anymore,” she whispered. “I don’t love you at all.” His throat closed. “It’s all right, sweetheart. I love you enough for both of us.”
HAhaAH what did I tell ya buddy?!?!
The recipe to a good grovel is the fmc needs to not give in too quickly and too easily. Even better when she makes him beg and get on his knees *wink* *wink*
And man I was so proud of Daisy. She was like, oh, you gonna treat me like this you cold son of a bitch??!?! POOF!!! I'll give you cold.
[image]
Alex was so miserable. He wished he realized he loved her sooner. It was amazing. His pain was my joy. This is my avengers endgame battle scene moment.
“I love you, Daisy. I love you so much I hurt.”
I ain't gonna lie chief I would've folded the second he finished that sentence. He might be too little too late but I'm just a girl. But thank god Daisy is one strong badass bitch.
I can't believe I waited so long to finally read this. This book is older than I am and I guess it kinda scared me a little. Wasn't sure if it would be my thing. But I honestly couldn't tell this was from 1996. The writing is not really dated - except maybe the lack of technology, but I honestly forgot it was supposed to be set in the late 90s.
Anyways. I fear I've yapped too much. I simply just can't shut up about alexdaisy.

“You may think everything ends one day, but you haven’t had ‘everything’ with me.”
forget me not is a second-chance romance between an ambitious wedding planner, Ama, who doesn't believe in relationships, and a grumpy, tattooed, dark-haired florist Elliot who doesn't believe in falling out of love.
it was all very intriguing. this book had so much potential, and it was written very well. I just think the book is too short for what the author is trying to do. the flow of the story felt very choppy and the sad emo things in this didn't hit as hard as I wanted them to. I wanted a whole ass demolition truck to rip my heart into pieces but it was more like a kiddie bike accidentally ran over my foot. Still hurts but I got over it 5 seconds later.
“That he found a quiet hallway and wept.”
it was angsty, yes, but it was a half-ass angst? I wasn't connected enough to the story and the characters to feel their despair. the time jumps and the back and forth certainly did not help, because it felt like I was reading a compilation of short stories.
I enjoyed the banter between Elliot and Ama in the beginning when they first got to know each other, I liked the tension, but it was also over rather quickly. I mean it was fine, but the more I read the more I realized I didn't get how they even fell in love. And like, why? I thought the point of the flashback chapters was for us to understand how they began but everything felt rushed and very surface level.
But I did like Ama and Elliot as characters. Ama was smart and a little funny, her donut obsession could be annoying but I found it charming. Elliot was a hot grump, I really liked his description. Just something about a long-haired tattooed shadow daddy working with flowers....lol and the spice was pretty good. I wish it happened more in the present, though.
“I want you to look debauched when I’m debauching you.”
that was very hot of Elliot, not gonna lie
but anyways,
our girl Ama NEEDS professional help. the way she kept clinging to Whitney was pathetic and a very obvious telling of an underlying issue that needed to be addressed. Ama and Elliot reuniting at the end felt extremely underwhelming. one moment they were all cold towards each other and the next they were ready to forgive and forget because what.......they were forced to actually work together for one day? (I know technically they had been working together for 6 months but they weren't talking to each other regularly so it wasn't like they were reconnecting).
I usually hate reverse proposals in books but I get why it was needed in this story. The execution of it could be better though.
I still enjoyed my time reading it though and excited to see how the tv adaption is gonna turn out! Better not butcher Ama and especially Elliot lol

Oh would you look at that! A book where both of the main characters are equally interesting! So hard to find these days. But Sophie got me hooked from the start. I love her sense of humor and I love that she is confident. It took me a minute to warm up to Gabriel but honestly it wasn't hard to fall in love with him. Must be the sunshine.
This contains spoilers.
I actually read this when it was first released, I think. But I somehow forgot about it and only realized it halfway through the book and even then reading the whole thing still felt like a new experience which was great because I loved everything in this book which made me wonder how I forgot about it in the first place. This book made me laugh, swoon, worry, and swoon again.
Sophie and Gabriel's banter is top-tier. And every time Gabriel let Sophie call him Gabriel, I melted. I don't know why I found it so sweet and incredibly romantic. I know the guy basically gave her all of his possession, but him letting her call him Gabriel since THEIR FIRST MEETING just got me. Ugh I just want to curl up and cry happy tears just remembering it. It was just so intimate and swoony and they weren't even together yet.
Killian's dark eyes fill with amusement. "You're the only one he lets call him Gabriel." "Shit," Jax says with a wince. "You're right. I missed that."
And the cherry on top of this already perfect story? All the sweet moments with the band and Brenna. And Libby and Jules. They just made me so happy. Their interactions with each other are gold and I was grinning so much while reading this my cheeks hurt.
Also, I hate miscommunications as much as the next person but the miscommunication in this one is delicious. It just added so much to the angst and build-up and slow burn. It made the end result very worth it lol. Sometimes you just need the stupid drama, okay. And don't even get me started on that scene in the hotel room.
Anyways, I can't wait to read Jax's story because I think he was my favorite side character in this. Oh, and, same, Sophie. I have a thing for Dean too. Lol...more

This is my first Laura Pavlov book. She needs to stop repeating words. I noticed so many in this and it frustrated the fuck out of me.
This is like a low budget hallmark romance movie in book form. It served its purpose as a romance book with all the popular tropes, swoony moments and everything but at the end of the day you know it was cringe. It wasn't terrible because I did laugh at some parts but just simply being able to make me laugh is not enough unfortunately.
I thought I couldn't hate any sunshine characters ever because it's my favorite type of character. But I did wish Georgia was a lot, lot less sunshiney. What the fuck was that dancing scene in the closet. I never cringed so much and it pissed me off because I think the author wrote it with the intention of it being cute but it was so, so far from cute. I mean good for her that Maddox found her adorable doing that but me personally I would've run the other way as fast as I could. I like weird but not that much.
I think for me personally the last 30% of the book saved it, and it wasn't even anything I hadn't read before so now what lol.
I liked the epilogue simply because of the set up for the next book, that one seems to be a lot more interesting than this so I think I'll give that one a chance. Hopefully no more repeated words....more

“She’d given me her best days. I’d give her mine. Both of them.”
It's been a while since I last read a book with a hot chef in it. Thank you, Juniper Hill.
This was a solid 5 star read for me. It was pretty well paced. I did wish Knox was grumpier and a little bit meaner at the start. I know we had that *one* scene where he was being a big jerk but it didn't last long and he felt really bad pretty much soon after. I wanted more pain and more time where the h was struggling and the H was being an oblivious grump. But it wasn't a deal breaker and the rest of the book turned out pretty fucking fantastic. I got butterflies every time Knox cooked something for Memphis because again my weakness is a hot chef romance. I was on my KNEEES every time Knox called Drake boss because why is that the cutest fucking thing I've read in my life ever? Explain that Devney Perry????
“Because he wakes up before dawn,” Griffin muttered, pulling out a stool. “My boy’s a morning kid.” “Not mine.” Knox pulled out the stool beside his brother. “Mine’s a night owl.” The entire room went still as my breath caught in my throat. Mine. One short word, four simple letters, and if there’d been any doubt that I was in love with Knox Eden, it vanished. I loved him because he loved Drake.
Now, I didn't think I would ever say this but one of my favorite parts in this book is actually the one where Knox's ex showed up. It was a delicious low-risk angst that I very much enjoyed. Devney Perry did a great job of using that situation to show just how sure Knox was about Memphis and him wanting to have a future with both Memphis and Drake. The closure was done beautifully and I loved the gentle fuck you to the ex. It was all very chef's kiss, pun intended.
This book has a special corner in my heart because of this thing they do where they go, "Promise?" followed by "I swear it.". I do the same thing with my boyfriend so I like reading about that in a book.
“Memphis.” I hooked my finger beneath her chin, making sure she was locked on me as I repeated my sentence. “She isn’t you.”

Theo Silva is the standard, Theo Silva is the blueprint.
That man is a walking talking green flag.
The thing is, I'm not sure if that's always good. I guess I like my characters to be a little bit of a jerk lol. This was such a safe read. I just knew there wouldn't be any angsty, anxiety-inducing drama. Honestly just pure fluff and spice. I mean I liked it, I enjoyed it (I definitely enjoyed Theo goddamn Silva), but I also don't think I'll re-read this anytime soon, if ever. It did get boring, but Winter was actually pretty funny, I loved her pov (and her pov did save me from dnfing not gonna lie)
There wasn't really any pining. It was clear Theo loved her from the start and he knew it, there wasn't any soul-searching (besides him focusing on himself or whatever) or any shit like that so it was a little bit underwhelming. Winter took longer to get there obviously but it wasn't like she fought her feelings hard or anything. The spicy scenes were spicy, but they were just okay because I knew they were gonna get there eventually... like there was no doubt whatsoever so when they did get there it didn't feel like a reward.
And I just couldn't let myself believe Theo didn't know Winter was pregnant. They were all in the same circle... no way that one of them didn't say something to Theo even in passing right?
Everything just goes right in this book so if you're looking for a safe, comfortable read this is definitely the one for you. There is drama but it's pretty mild and low-risk....more

Aw crap. This had the backbone to be THE best grumpy x sunshine romance. I mean it had everything:
- grumpy, muscular, handsome, fisherman hero - the perfect sunshine heroine - great character growth (Piper) - small town - kind of a found family - hate to love kinda vibe
This book checked all of my mandatory grumpy x sunshine boxes. Suuure, the start of the book was rough (but that's usually the case with most books anyway), but it did get better once Brendan was introduced. I was even willing to ignore the cheesy writing for the plot alone. Like, yes, Brendan, go be all grumpy and judgy and maybe a little bit mean to Piper because I would definitely enjoy seeing you regret all of that later.
But that only lasted a chapter and a half.
Once Brendan was like, oh, Piper might not be so bad after all, it started going downhill, because now he was just plain nice. He was no longer grumpy and judgy. It all happened so fast, and it might just be the Mariana Zapata in me, but I was hoping for more pining. More grumpy and mean and judgy Brendan and sweet and kind Piper. I wanted tensionnnnn.
This started as a story about people falling in love but ended up being a story about a couple trying to stay in love. Which might be fine to some people but it wasn't really what I was expecting going into this. I wouldn't mind that plot later down the line but I was interested more in how they developed feelings in the first place and I didn't get enough of that in this book. Hell, Brendan accepted that he was in love with Piper way too easily in my opinion. I was hoping for some angsty denial from the guy.
This was a solid 4-star read for me initially, but I had to take away some stars because, see, at first I was willing to ignore the awful writing for the plot, but once the plot started changing I could no longer ignore the cheesy writing. I never had to physically cringe so much in my life before. Funny because reading this was kinda like fishing. There were so many cute tropey scenes and some of them got me blushing and giggling (which is why I didn't fully hate this book), but a lot of them gave you secondhand embarrassment. You just never know which one you're gonna get....more

“Love doesn’t push things away. Love doesn’t suffocate. It makes the world bloom. ”
You can always count on Brittainy C. Cherry to write the most beautiful words.
I didn't put this book down once, literally finished it in one sitting. Her words captivated me so much that I just couldn't stop reading. I actually had anxiety about starting the book because the last time I read her book it was The Air He Breathes and that one hurt me so good. I had a feeling this book would do the same thing to me. And it did, but not in the way I thought it would hurt initially. I thought the hurt would mostly revolve around jealousy/ow drama based on the blurb. While there were of course elements of that, it was other things that got me. I'm not gonna elaborate on it because you really have to read it for yourself to understand. But I'll just say I welcomed the pain the story gave me with arms wide, wide open.
“It’s you,” I whispered, our lips still slightly touching. “My greatest hope is, and always will be, you.”
This was a grumpy/sunshine done beautifully. Their chemistry was off the charts since the first time they met because of the grumpy x sunshine aspect. It felt like she was the brightness he needed in his life all along and you could feel it from their first interaction and I fucking loved it. Graham was definitely an asshole at the start and it was perfect. I even kind of wished he was more of a jerk for longer. I mean I think it was a long time before he really warmed up but we didn't get to really see the in-betweens much. I loved Lucy, she was a sunshine weirdo but had a backbone.
Her emotions weren’t what made her weak. They were her strength.
The highlight of this book was Ollie. He was a total comfort character in this. His character was the perfect addition to the story and he made me feel safe in the sense that I was so glad despite everything Graham at least had Ollie. I loved the classic you're so definitely in love moments Ollie had with Graham. Again, total comfort.
Don't get me wrong, this book was anything but comfortable. It had a lot of painful moments and I loved them all. But those painful moments created some of the most beautiful sentences so I was here for it. I shed many many tears and I couldn't be happier lol. One thing about Brittainy C. Cherry, every beautiful sentence carries weight. They aren't there just for the sake of being beautiful, they have a purpose. And when that purpose finally hit you, so do all the emotions.
“Thank you, Graham.” “For what?” “Catching me before I hit the ground.”
“If you need to fall, fall into me.”
With all that said, there were a few things preventing me from giving this 5 stars. It was a pretty fantastic read, there was just some stuff I couldn't look past.
This contains spoilers!
Some things that were bothering me:
- How Graham was ever married to Jane in the first place. He was a coldhearted ass back then, sure, so I would understand it more if they were just dating. But married? It seemed like such a reach for both Graham and Jane. Ok, Jane wanted to get married for her job, but I had a hard time understanding why Graham would agree to it at all. What did he get out of it?
- I don't think it was ever explained if Ollie ever said anything about Graham marrying Jane. Like surely Ollie could see how big of a bitch Jane was? I would understand if he didn't want to overstep in fear of Graham pulling away but Jane was a total bitch and it wasn't like she was trying to hide it. Everyone could see from a mile away she was going to destroy Graham, even Graham knew it. So why didn't Ollie at least try to stop it even once?
- I had mixed feelings about Jane. It was mostly hatred. But as someone in a similar place as Jane (kind of having to parent the parent), I could see where the anger was coming from. I didn't have any siblings but I could see how you could resent your siblings for being okay with everything while you were falling apart trying to keep everyone alive. But also.. at some point you just had to let go a little bit you know?? Like she was SO full of hatred for Lucy as a full grown adult. And abandoning her baby like that? I honestly didn't think it was purely because of her childhood trauma. I think she was just born a psychopath.
- Why for the love of god, did Graham never, for once, try to reach Jane to ask for divorce while he was together with Lucy? I think I would have less angry feelings about it if it was explained more - maybe Jane was really unreachable. Or at least make Graham leave a voicemail for Jane and be like fuck this we're over. It was said that he tried to call her and leave a voicemail every night, did he still call her while he was with Lucy? Why did he not make more of an effort to erase Jane from his life? I just had this feeling that if Jane never came back he would have never even thought to divorce her. I wish he'd fought more for Lucy in that way - he's rich so couldn't he hire a PI or some shit like that to track Jane down and serve her divorce papers? I never doubted her love for Lucy, it was as clear as day he was madly in love with her so that's why this little thing bothered me a lot, just seemed out of character.
Phew. Despite all of that though, I still had a beautiful journey with this book. It tugged at my heart and broke my soul a little bit (in the best way of course), and now I'm gonna go read through my many many highlights.

“I believe in you. In us. Regardless of what happens, you will always be the best partner I’ve ever had. You’ll always be the hardest working person I’ve ever known. There will only ever be you.”
I tried reading this book several times since release and gave up each time because I felt like there was too much monologue and not enough dialogue (at least at the start), but recently TikTok got me obsessed with these figure skaters (looking at you, Valeriy and Vasilisa) and then I went into youtube and got even more obsessed (also looking at you, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir) and I just knew I NEEDED to read an ice-skating romance. And this book was the only one I knew of so I decided to give it another (more like, 4th) chance. It was a rocky start but at that point the only books I'd read for weeks were very fast-paced, dirty, and kind of empty so From Lukov with Love was the breath of fresh air I desperately needed.
Mariana Zapata does the contemporary enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, it's-always-been-you tropes very fucking well. I know some people hate non-fantasy enemies to lovers because unless you're in a world-war, life-or-death situation you could always talk it out. And I agree for the most part. But for this book I am so so so so glad they didn't talk it out for a long time because it created the most delicious slow burn to ever grace my eyeballs.
“Because I’m okay with you having ten other people be your favorite. But you’re always going to be my favorite person,”
I know some people have said that this book is not really a romance. But I think watching Jasmine battle her doubts and fears and seeing Ivan easing himself into Jasmine's life carefully, being her biggest supporter without her even realizing it, and him just being there for her literally every step of the way even when they were barely friends at first... I don't know man but I think that shit is pretty romantic. Their little interactions in the beginning, their funny, hostile, lil banter.. those are romantic as fuck. That's the thing about slow burn. You hold on to the tiniest little thing like them BLINKING at each other (I know the blinkings drive people crazy but I think it's really cute).
And I know some people are annoyed with Jasmine. I personally think she's pretty realistic. It's easy to lose yourself in the one thing you're good at, basically killing yourself over and over to make sure you never lose it that you don't even realize that you've started to treat yourself like shit and act like an asshole most of the time to the people close to you. It's not a good trait, but it stems from determination and I think if anything it's admirable. And I can see that this is one of the things that made Ivan fall in love with her in the first place.
“The girl I know, the Jasmine I know, isn’t scared of shit. She doesn’t give up, and that’s the girl people will always remember. The one who is there time after time. You’d win and keep trying to win afterward. That’s the girl I know. The one I partnered up with. The one I think is the best.”
Now, the end part. I don't even want to talk about it because I really have no words. It was beautiful, exciting, romantic, just everything all at once. I wish I could read it for the first time again. I've never believed an I love you so much until that part with Ivan, and he wasn't even saying it out loud.
I just want everyone to know that Jasmine and Ivan is my comfort couple THANKS
