LOL Becky was totally annoying and you're right - she never learned. Just kept doing the same dumb things over and over. <br /><br />Yeah, Saint did annoy me the way she held the past against Nash. I mean, it was a one-sided crush and yet she acted like he did her wrong and broke her heart? Uh, reality check, please! Nash was awesome, though. Seriously loved him. <br /><br />Get married... miss Love Actually. I think we need to reevaluate this marriage thing.

Love and Other Words is such a good one. I think it was the second one I read by Christina Lauren and is still one of my favorites. The Bronze Horseman is definitely emotionally heavy.

Lo...It's never too late for a romance book tag. Love the look of this tag... might just have to tag myself in it. And I'm the same, I don't know what the first romance I read was but it's fine. Who needs to remember their first anyway? I'm adding both your recs for romances you wish more folks had read, always good to show love for these underappreciated reads. I am with you raging about miscommunication, the number of times I shout at a book because folks do not use their words is ridiculous. Why? I want a romance with good communication, is that so much to ask?Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-46585073230503686412019-09-01T17:36:17.467-04:002019-09-01T17:36:17.467-04:00I remember love hated Confessions of A Shopaholic....I remember love hated Confessions of A Shopaholic. Then love hated the second... Then the third. They were so samey and Becky was so freaking annoying and never learned! But the romance had me. I shipped Becky and Luke so hard. I gave up around book four because I just couldn't take it any more.<br /><br />Nash was my least favourite book of the Marked Men because I found Saint so bloody irritating but I adored Nash and that saved it for me. <br /><br />I adore Love Actually... I can't believe I failed to watch it last Christmas! I always watch it on the run up and last year I didn't fit it in! I blame it on getting married...<br /><br />Goodnight Nic is on my amazon wishlist because you mentioned it on another list long ago. I'll definitely read it at some point.

I just loaned my copy of that to my sister because, like me, she tends to shy away from romance. Christina Lauren's books totally changed my mind on that so I'm hoping they'll work their magic on her too.Suzanne @ The Bookish Librahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116292880784513187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-65239527285456601622019-09-01T06:56:18.201-04:002019-09-01T06:56:18.201-04:00YOU DID THE TAG!! 💗
Now that you've mentioned...YOU DID THE TAG!! 💗<br />Now that you've mentioned it, Christina Lauren's always around the romance universe in literature but I agree that Love and Other Words is underrated because this is the first time I've heard about the existence of this book. ALSO YAY WE HAVE THE SAME FAVORITE HEROES! I mean I got a long list of favorites but those two are on the top of the list! 😄 I've come across The Bronze Horseman for years now but I don't know if I'm ever going to be ready for an emotional book. It's emotionally-heavy isn't it? <br /><br />Congrats on completing all 25 questions, Tanya! I also remember how much my back hurt from doing this tag lol but I enjoyed answering the questions so worth it I guess 😂Chai @ Like Chai Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057047566641486474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-71073538102222585152019-08-31T13:28:06.026-04:002019-08-31T13:28:06.026-04:00Truth!

She is one fo the few women's fiction authors, that I always enjoy. When I saw "overrated", one author immediately popped into my mind, but I am not a fan of doing negative prompts, so, good for you for abstaining. Technically, wouldn't some of those fairytales we read as kids qualify as romances? (I'm just saying). Love Actually was a good movie, though my favorite rom-com/romance is a toss up between: Pretty in Pink and Say Anything (the 80s forever!)Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-34165825854198816592019-08-31T08:29:50.879-04:002019-08-31T08:29:50.879-04:00Love.
