Hiii!! So i read Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N Holmberg on Kindle unlimited and it was amazing! Great chemistry but there is no smut! It's supernatural fantasy with some romance thrown in and alot of humour! I highly recommend it!,
I'm starting Wed to the Barbarian tonight!! 🎉🎉🎈🎊 Yeah, I understand your thoughts and feelings on Long Shot-- I re-read my review of the book and even though I gave it 4 stars, I'm pretty critical? And it didn't stick with me much... so probably a 3-3.5 would be more accurate. Looks like you had a lovely time with your mom's birthday, so fun you were able to go visit her and throw a party!
Omg my two favs. I will recommend That Time I Got Drunk to everyone! and then Long Shot is such a different vibe. Once you get past the 50% it does give you such a sense of relief. It's intense and a LOT which is why I always give content warnings to people when I recommend it. If you can make it past that 50% it is definitely worth it (and definitely does not romanticize the abuse in the same way It Ends with Us does) but I do totally understand if you aren't able to finish it.
And yes, you are right, Long Shot is not a romance. It's a women's contemporary fiction. The rest of the Hoops series is romance, and not heavy like Long Shot.
I had such a hard time with Long Shot. 50% is probably getting to the point where things are about to start turning toward the positive, but I honestly remember very little about the story after the domestic violence parts. I actually think it was exacerbated too because I didn’t realize how graphic it was going to get so I was so shocked and put off by the first half (and it FELT. SO. LONG.) that I couldn’t conjure any happy feelings when I was supposed to. I’m glad I’m not alone. I feel like everyone raves about Kennedy Ryan’s books so I thought I was crazy and/or missing something. I’m glad to see (in comments) that not all of her books are this graphic.
i’ve read both and i think it’s more of how the authors handle the content. plus in a lot of other coho books there’s a lot of emotional abuse that’s not addressed and very much romanticized. i like toxicity don’t get me wrong but i need a book to be self aware about it and her other books are not in my opinion. again not talk about iewu for that specific point
Long Shot is really incredible (imo) and also a book that I will only read the one time I did. Her other books also have heavy content usually, but aren't domestic violence, thankfully! I love Kennedy's writing so, so much. She's absolutely incredible. But yeah... I feel you on how hard it was to read Long Shot in particular!
I feel ya on that claustrophobic thing, ughhhh. I recently read Baby by Annaleese Jochems and felt so smothered the entire book, I almost started empathizing with the crazy, awful character. So much relief when I finished that book.😂
you should of read Prince of the Sorrows! it is a duology, i haven't read the sequel but the first one was like crack to me. also can't spell treason without tea is on kindle unlimited and its basically a better legends and lattes bc it actually has plot
Love this video and your amazing channel please stay safe and enjoy your reading prayers and thoughts for you both ❤❤❤please can I ask a favour please pray for me as I am really really struggling with my anxiety and mental health issues and my thoughts
First of all, how is your mom 60?! She looks amazing! I also read That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon this month and loved it! I read the sequel and it was just as good, though I would say it leans into the cozy a bit more and the stakes aren't quite as high.
Was considering Long Shot but once I heard more about it I couldn’t do it for my mental. Really good Kindle Unlimited romance to check out is Mile High by Liz Tomforde. I also enjoyed Funny Feelings by Tarah Dewitt.
I felt the same way when I tried to listen to Long Shot. It was too much bad reality in that book for me. I wanted to love it but couldn't finish it🤦🏽♀️
sad you didn’t like long shot 🥲 i just love books and romances that have something to say and i love a romance that breaks my heart and puts it back together
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉🎉🎉

You are killing me by comparing Long Shot to It Ends with Us.
I'm glad you liked That Time I got Drunk but you also hurt me with your rating of Long Shot.I do agree that it's not a romance though

Lol was that a kid yelling “chicken wing” at 22:10? Love it.
Yessss my nephew cracking a joke 😂😂 -Christine

I was so surprised when I read Wed to the Barbarian! It’s got great writing, romance and plot. It deserves better cover art 🥲!!
I’m a big Keira Andrews fan! I haven’t read her fantasy books, but her contemporaries are not-misses! I’ll give Wed to a Barbarian a shot!
parttyyyy suppplies
🎉🎉🎉💖
I love your mom haha
How are people upset with coho about IEWU and not Kennedy Ryan with long shot
i’ve read both and i think it’s more of how the authors handle the content. plus in a lot of other coho books there’s a lot of emotional abuse that’s not addressed and very much romanticized. i like toxicity don’t get me wrong but i need a book to be self aware about it and her other books are not in my opinion. again not talk about iewu for that specific point
@@daijahsbookworld I feel like a lot of indie romance has a lot of toxic men and women.
