I love this gorgeous pic of my boys. Thank you, @bookaddict_reviews! 💖💖💖💖💖 #Repost @bookaddict_reviews ・・・ Certain people enter your life like they were always meant to be in it. Doctor Love by @leisarayven Tropes: slow burn, friends to lovers, roommates to lovers, opposites attract Thoughts: Toby is a genius and he is working night and day and running on empty to do everything he can to help his family. He may be known as Doctor Love but he has no time for love himself. He is has so much love to give and with everything he is going through you can see how much he cares and how supportive and protective he is of those he cares about. Joanna was very closed off throughout a majority of the story. She continuously would push Toby away and just was very secretive. Even after finishing I’m still not sure how I feel about her. There is a lot of push and pull between Toby and Jo. They have a connection and there is no doubt there is chemistry between them. The story is told completely from Toby’s POV, which I loved, but I also found myself wishing that there was a little bit of Joanna’s POV mixed in to give some more insight into her side of things.

I love this gorgeous pic of the brand new Czech edition of #ProfessorFeelgood. Can’t wait for my Czech readers to meet this bad boy. 💕💕💕 Thank you @knizni_fanaticka! #Repost @knizni_fanaticka ・・・ 2. Díl z trilogie master of love. 📖První díl Pan Romantik mi dost sedl a proto byl druhý díl pro mě jasná volba. Za knihu moc děkuji @knihydobrovsky a @kate_valter v rámci #spolupráce. Asha je cílevědomá žena, a to co se jí stane je opravdu velká náhoda. Příběh je až lehce neuvěřitelný a dost předvídatelný ale přesto mě opravdu opět bavil. Kniha je romantická a vtipná. Nalezneme zde postavy z prvního dílu, Asha je sestra Eden, ale pokud jste Pana Romantika nečetli, nevadí to, jelikož díly přímo nenavazují. Jde o pohádkový hate to love příběh o spisovatelce a s poselstvím, že někdy to co hledáme, můžeme mít přímo před očima. Knihu doporučuji všem komu nevadí jednoduché příběhy, které jsou vtipné a mají hate to love linku. Za mě dávám 4,5⭐️z 5. Těším se na třetí díl o Tobym, který doufám u nás také výjde. 😍 Knihy mají jako bonus krásně barevné obálky a v knihovně vypadají super. ✨ 🖌Ambiciózní knižní redaktorka Asha Tateová je beznadějná romantička. Navzdory svým vlažným zkušenostem s muži pevně věří na mdloby, vzdychání a nekonečnou lásku spřízněných duší. Jistě, sex je fajn, ale ona se nikdy nenechala vést svými zvířecími pudy. Až do této chvíle. Když Asha narazí na spalující instagramový feed člověka, který si říká Profesor Sympaťák, poprvé v životě propadne touze. Nejenže musí rozdýchávat pohled na žhavé umělecké fotky Profesorova vyrýsovaného těla, i jeho rozervaná poezie o ztrátě pravé lásky promlouvá přímo k její duši. Asha zoufale potřebuje najít bestseller pro své skomírající nakladatelství a ví, že Profesorovy literární schopnosti a miliony věrných fanoušků by mohly být záchranným kruhem, který její nadřízení potřebují, aby se celá společnost neutopila v dluzích. Ale ještě než zaschne inkoust na nakladatelské smlouvě, uvědomí si, že udělala příšernou #profesorsympatak #leisareyven #bookseries #bookstagram #booktip #romanticbook #romanticseries #booktime #bookphotography #bookshoot #bookstory https://www.instagram.com/p/CbWopBWp1UH/?utm_medium=tumblr
I’m absolutely in love with this pic, mostly because it has Funko pop versions of Claire Danes and Leo DiCaprio as Romeo and Juliet. I love them and want them on my shelf! 💕💕💕 #Repost @eckithebooknerd ・・・ Two weeks left of January, have you been able to get a few books off your TBR? . . I swear my TBR list gets longer every week. I then forget the ones I have on it. These being some of them. I blame it on me. I’m not giving my shelves enough attention. . Starcrossed trilogy by Leisa Rayven . Bad Romeo Synopsis: When Cassie Taylor met Ethan Holt at acting school, sparks flew. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy about campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing, Cassie and Ethan's romance seemed destined. Until he broke her heart and betrayed her trust. Now the A-list heartthrob is back in her life and turning her world around. One touch at a time. Cast as romantic leads once again, they're forced to confront raw memories of the heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their secret college affair. But they'll also discover that people who rub each other the wrong way often make the best sparks. . . They’re gorgeous covers. Have you read them? .

You guys! I’m officially done writing #DoctorLove! FINALLY! And not to brag, but he’s a very big boy. 😬😬😬 Stay posted for cover reveal and pre-order links, coming soon.

As I finish up final edits on #DoctorLove, I’ve realized that this quote from #ProfessorFeelgood perfectly summarizes the journey of all of my couples in the #MastersOfLove series: Max and Eden, Jake and Asha, Toby and Joanna. Heck, even Nannabeth and Moby Duck. Love isn’t easy. It’s messy and scary and capable of reducing grown men and women to blithering messes, but when it’s right … when you treat it with respect and allow it to blossom and grow, nothing else matters. It can comfort and heal. Protect and complete. Love is magical. 💖💖💖 #AmEditing #Romance #Love #lovequotes #RelationshipQuotes #LeisaRayvenBooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcjLvUBNxf/?utm_medium=tumblr
It’s INSANE to me how controversial romance novels are. Romance novels. Like, being openly a fan of them immediately opens you up to people constantly coming at you like “but don’t you think it’s ~limiting- and ~juvenile~ to have a genre of books with happy endings for women?”
Like.
No?
Why is it such a big deal to want to read stories where women have sex and then don’t die at the end? Jesus Christ.
Why is the concept of female characters being happy seen as less creative than female characters suffering? (Trust me, creating a world where women win in the end takes a lot more creativity and artistic vision lmfao)
Anyway, literary bros will pry my romance novels with their happy endings from my cold dead fingers.
Or die in the very beginning of the book. But no one calls out James Patterson for writing another formulaic thriller in which a woman is horrifically killed after getting laid and then some man solves her murder. Every. Damn. Time.
But hey, those romance novels where women get happy endings are so limiting, eh?
Real talk: realizing how common it is for female characters to be punished for on-the-page sex with death was a big part of my embracing the romance genre. Once I noticed it I couldn’t unnotice it. It’s everywhere. A woman having sex in literature or non-romance genre fiction is the literary equivalent of a red shirt on Star Trek.
It’s not just the sex thing, though that’s a key element. It’s that, in romance novels, the heroine gets to be cared for the way she normally would care for everyone else. It’s wish fulfillment in that her romantic partner will do emotional labor, spend a great deal of time thinking about her, or sacrifice his desires or fortune or reputation to be with her, or spend days nursing her back to health, or risking his life to save hers. In romance novels, you’ll find men taking care of children, talking about their feelings, putting effort into their appearance—even if they are adorably bad at it. Watch how many romance novel protagonists fall in love with a man who happens to be rich or handsome, but she didn’t give in until his behavior changed and he starts mentoring her, or providing for her, or being gentle toward her, nourishing her, listening to her, appreciating her… I suspect romance novels are looked down upon not for being juvenile formulaic “beach reads” but because they paint a fantasy world that leaves men feeling uncomfortable or even emasculated. But whether you’re a Midwest housewife or a big city CEO, women who read romance novels just want to read about men loving women the way women are expected love everyone else—with a nurturing and protective form of unswerving loyalty. Great sex they don’t have to die for is also a huge bonus, but the *romance* part of the novel is genuinely more about the woman being appreciated (for her beauty or spunk or intelligence at first, and then for all of her by the end).
“women who read romance novels just want to read about men loving women the way women are expected to love everyone else—with a nurturing and protective form of unswerving loyalty.”
THANK YOU.
According to the website smartbitchestrashybooks, which analyzes romance novels to a great degree, one common element of the average romance novel is what they call the grovel. That is, there’s a turning point near the climax of the book where the leading man says, in effect, “I hurt you. I had my reasons, but they don’t make it right. I am devastated that I hurt you, and I will do whatever it takes to make it okay again. Leaving you is completely on the table even though I find the prospect horrific.”
And that’s a very important fantasy. To have your feelings, your pain, be made so absolutely central to the narrative, to someone else’s world. You could call it a power fantasy, but I don’t think that’s exactly right. It’s a significance fantasy. A romance story is a story in which the woman is the most significant damn thing in the book.
And when you think of it like that, you realize why some people are really, really threatened by it.
This is very interesting. Horror movies are very big on using the ‘sex bad’ trope of course, and its often that female victim’s torture is much longer and more sadistic compared to male victims. male gaze something something we all know how it goes. Its good to be aware tho :))
All of this. If men want to learn how to keep their women happy and satisfied, they need to pick up some romance novels.
honest to god can’t stop thinking about this song about jeff bezos by philip labes (link takes you to his spotify). it’s such a good example of politically driven folk music.
Lyrics:
Jeff found a genie in a bottle Who said, “I can give you anything you ask” “You can have your wishes three And a million more for free It’s unlimited, just set me to the task.”
Well, Jeff thought a while, Said, “I want houses, “I want boats, I want fancy modern art, I want tickets to the Met, I want my own private jet, And a rocket into space just for a start.”
Well, the genie waved her arms and made it happen His every wish bolted from the blue And folks all over town grew enamored, gathered ‘round To admire the man whose wishes had come true
They said, “Let’s hear it for the man who has everything! By good fortune he’s been set so far apart.” “Yeah, let’s hear it for Jeff who has everything! ‘Cause his wishes are only at the start.”
Well, Jeff heard their shouts and he grew worried He said, “Everybody’s getting in my way.” The genie smiled as before, “You’ve got a million wishes more. You can even give a bunch of them away.”
Well, Jeff got confused and sorta quiet ‘Til he finally said, “I have just one wish more.” “I am satisfied, so I wish that you would die So you cannot grant wishes anymore.”
Well, the genie’s eyes got big and sad and shiny ‘Til she finally said, “Your wish is my command.” And with an effervescent sigh, she disappeared before his eyes And no wishes were ever granted there again
So, let’s hear it for the man who has everything! By good fortune he has set so far apart Yeah, let’s hear it for Jeff, who’s got everything! Every single fucking thing except a heart
To all my amazing readers, fellow author friends, blogger friends, and followers from around the globe, I’m sending you all giant virtual hugs this holiday season, and hope that the coming year brings you peace, love, and enormous amounts of joy. I’m thankful for every single one of you and wish you all the happiness in the world. 🎄🎄🎄💕💕💕😘😘😘 #christmas #happyholidays #peacelovejoy https://www.instagram.com/p/CX68hrWhY-M/?utm_medium=tumblr
Love this gorgeous holiday pic of one of my beautiful foreign editions. Are you guys ready for #DoctorLove to visit you in the New Year? 😬😬😬🎄🎄🎄 #Repost @knihomolkasarka97 ・・・ 120. PAN ROMANTIK Leisa Rayven 368 stran 🎄 Ahojky! 😊 Četli jste Pana Romantika? Jak se vám líbil? Taak. Vůbec nevím, kde začít. 🤣 V prvé řadě určitě děkuji @caj.a.kniha za skvělý nápad uspořádat společné čtení, protože jak se znám, tak bych knihu beztak dlouho odkládala...🤦♀️ @caj.a.kniha @holka_z_knihkupec moc jsem si s vámi čtení užila! ♥️ Byť se mělo číst až do zítřka, tak už jsem to zkrátka nevydržela a musela dočíst. Ale nejsem v tom sama, ha. 🤣🙊 Pan Romantik je opravdu úžasná kniha a řadím ji mezi nejlepší tohoto roku. Ani jsem nečekala, že se mi bude tak líbit! Originální romantický příběh, který chytne za srdce. Eden mě chvilkama štvala, ale dokázala jsem si ji oblíbít. Do Paula neboli "pana romantika" jsem se úplně zabouchla. A zvlášť po tom, co vyšlo najevo, proč to všechno dělá. Ach, kéž by existovalo nějaké kouzlo, které by ho z knihy vytáhlo ven ke mně. 🤣 Mooc doporučuju všem romantickým duším! 5⭐/5⭐ Příští rok vyjde Profesor Sympaťák, což bude o Ashe (sestře Eden) a už teď se moc těším! ♥️ 🎄 Paul Riley je, stejně jako jeho alter ego Pan Romantik, trošku jiný společník. Žádný sex, jen dokonalé schůzky, kvůli kterým stojí za to i zemřít… Chcete miliardáře, zlobivého kluka se zlatým srdcem nebo sexy motorkáře? Paul to umí zařídit. Přitom si ale velmi pečlivě střeží své soukromí. Na scénu ale přichází investigativní novinářka Eden Tateová. Když se k ní donesou zvěsti o Panu Romantikovi, je rozhodnuta odhalit jeho skutečnou identitu, proslýchá se totiž, že dokáže i obírat osamělé paničky o jejich jmění. Paul se zoufale snaží zůstat v anonymitě, a tak Eden vyzve, aby s ním šla třikrát na rande. S podmínkou, že pokud se do něj nezamiluje, může s jeho svolením celý příběh zveřejnit. Pokud jeho kouzlu podlehne, ze sólokapra nebude nic... #panromantik #leisarayven #romance #romantika #role #novinarka #laska #pritazlivost #ukazcoctes #ctenimebavi #bezknihyneziju #bezknihyaniranu #knihomolka #zavislanaknihach #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CXzNVmFhaN6/?utm_medium=tumblr

All the amaze.
Happy weekend, lovelies! Hope you have some great plans. I’m heading to the hospital shortly to visit my mum and do her hair, because even though she’s elderly and has dementia, she still wants to look nice for her handsome physiotherapist. 😂😂😂 Gotta love her. Hope you’re all doing well. Big hugs! 💕💕💕 . . . #AmWriting #DoctorLove #Coming2022 #LeisaRayvenBooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CXFB2SEhy5o/?utm_medium=tumblr

New teaser! Sorry for the delay with this one. My darling tiny mother had to be rushed to hospital last week after sustaining a fractured hip so things have been crazy. She has to undergo surgery tomorrow morning so if anyone has some spare positive energy or prayers, I’d be grateful if you sent them her way. Hope you’re all having a good week and I’ll post more soon. Love you! 💕💕💕 #AmWriting #Nanowrimo2021 #DoctorLove #LeisaRayvenBooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CWmjLiRvCxr/?utm_medium=tumblr
