Like in Love with You by Emma R. Alban is a regency era romance between two rivals going after the same suitor. It has a strong opening, and for the first third of the book I was hooked. Two strong cunning women vying for a boring man's obstenively vying for a man's attention while eye fucking eachother the entire time. The added drama of their mothers having once been close friends now turned enemies heightens the narrative and the drama. Neither of the women really want the man obviously but they feel they must to please their families. It was interesting to read especially as this was my first regency era novel. Then they confess and have raunchy sex and maybe that's historically valid, maybe it's not, but it rather took me out of the experience. Especially it felt like the author gave up keeping the prose and characterizations in line with the era they were from. And while reading I kept wondering where it was all heading too, how two women without much agency would fair against such a patriarchal society and heteronormative expectations. All too easily it seems, no one is outwardly homophobic and both families after their dispute is resolved are persuaded to let them have their happy ever after. While I am no fan of Tragik endings, this felt like a fairly unrealistic fantasy of what was otherwise a grounded depiction of regency life. I appreciated that the suitor both women are competing for is given no good qualities, little dialogue and basically barely exists other than as a plot device. 6:10
Any recent sports romance? Olympics always gets me in the mood for one. The last I read was It's a Love/Skate Relationship by Carli J. Corson.
>>4526396The author's first book in that series, Don't Want You Like A Best Friend, does a pretty good job imo of depicting the difficulty two women in that situation would go through. They go through a fair amount of suffering on the way, and at the end their happy ending feels like the stars aligned for them specifically, and not like they were simply allowed to get away with it. I'll definitely read this one, interested to see how they compare.
>>4523669>>The Book of Blood and Roses by Annie SummerleeGot through it, not the worst, light on prose, somewhat simple characters, but all in all enough not to be a waste of time.Sex is indeed hot.
So I read three things that were entitled Playing for Keeps because why not. The first, Playing for Keeps by Alexandria Bellefleur is basically what if Taylor Swift and her football boyfriend had lesbian publicists? Also one has a praise kink and the other one is very into soft dom dynamics. There isn't much to say about this one beyond that the author clumsily exposition dumps the mcs traumatic past at you in the least clever way imaginable. The sex is mid. 5/10The second, Playing for Keeps by Pixie Chica is a short story that exists only for size difference smut. 5/10The third, and best, was Playing for Keeps by Jennifer Dugan. It is a referee x baseball player teenage romance set against the grief both of them are experiencing due to a family member dying from cancer. It is an interesting forray into toxic relationship dynamics and managed to make both the toxic girl and the non toxic girl sympathetic and interesting. I felt myself relating quite a bit to the characters experiences as I myself lost my dad at an early age. The prose keeps well with the drama, easily getting you into the headspace of both characters even as they experience very different things. The ending resolution is predictable but the way the story is written, it doesn't feel like an obvious plot beat but rather a inevitable tragedy when the tension finally snaps. I quite liked this one 8/10
Anyone else reading middle grade stuff?
