This Is Not a Love Scene by S. C. Megale
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
I only listened to this for about twenty minutes and several red flags stood out to me.
I'll start out saying that I have friedreich's ataxia,a form of muscular dystrophy.
The very first line was "I love being ridden." Leave the double entendre alone, don't ever "ride" someone's wheelchair!
The moment I knew I wouldn't read this book was maybe 5 minutes in when she said something along the lines of being cute despite her disability. That is a completely disgusting statement.
She then goes on to say that she has a form of muscular dystrophy, but didn't specify. And I get maybe that only bothed me because I couldn't help but wonder if she had FA.
She also talks about looking online at others that share her disease so she can judge them! How gross!
From other reviews I read that this is own voices and that shocks me! It's unbelievable to me that someone with a disability would be so negative and disparaging about it like that!

So this was awful. The male MC was the worst! The pacing was weird. I'm not sure where the real feelings came from. One minute they're basically just roommates and then they see each other in their undies and then they're in love. Um what? No getting to know you scenes, no longing, no pining, just bam! Love!
Memory Lane by Becky Wade

The synopsis of this book makes it sound like a breezy little romcom, but it is not! It's a romance, but not a comedy. It's a bit of a mystery with a slow burn romance. It's excellent overall. There were some additional storylines that really didn't need to be there.
Fiona's story and wendall's story...idk why they were included.
This is a clean romance, but there is a content warning for a past rape and ongoing trauma.

I have to say that this woman is shockingly immature! Considering she is
A) not in high school and
B) about to become a mother
I can't believe how little the baby was mentioned. The woman was like eight months pregnant and there was no talk of her becoming a mother, nothing about the man falling in love with the baby too, nothing about him ready and willing to take on fatherhood. Honestly the story would have made more sense if she gave the baby up for adoption at the end.
