THEMES: CONTEMPORARY. MYSTERY. AGE-GAP. ICE-QUEEN. REPORTERS. 🌟ABSTRACT: "What do a stolen food-delivery robot, a woman from the past, and a bizarre scheme to microchip military veterans have in common? The infamous Caustic Queen, Washington DC bureau chief Catherine Ayers and her fiancée, reporter and Iowa girl Lauren King, are busy wedding planning in Lauren’s home town. That means facing a lot of beefy mechanic brothers, a haughty cat, and a sharp-tongued Meemaw." 🌟TOTALLY FABULOUS AND ENTERTAINING. After I read this book, I made a post about second chances. Yes, Catherine and Lauren slayed. Lauren's family was amazing, except that brother that kept getting in Catherine's beautiful face. I was so happy when Lauren finally said enough is enough. Because Catherine was definitely not "ice queening" in those moments. Catherine's father and mother, god forbid… just bad people. 🌟What I really want to talk about and appreciated the most was Michelle's character. I don't know what I really want but I know I crave something about this character. In book 1, I was just mad at her but in book 2, esp after that scene with Lauren in chapter 32. And also in the ending when Lauren told Catherine about her talk with Michelle. It has to be incredibly dehumanising to destroy someone you love. Like just thinking about being in either's shoes, makes me really sick. I have this ridiculous notion of not wanting to hurt people, so if I was Michelle, I would be literally destroyed. 🌟In the latest newsletter from Lee, it says there will be a short story on Michelle's character, I hope. I want it to be tremendous, marvellous, magnificent, entertaining, groundbreaking, enthralling, emotional devastation, I want to be sick to my stomach, I want to be satisfied mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The expectations that I developed after reading that chapter, just crazy. I still want that though. I want to know what happened before, during, after and the future. I WANT IT ALL, PLEASE LORD. JUST PLEASE. 🌟BUT HEY, NO PRESSURE. 🤣😜😜🤪🤷🏾♀️ #wlwbooks #sapphic #leewinter #lgbt #lesbianfiction #lesbianbooks #ylvapublishing #romance #family #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CYDeKNKOpwM/?utm_medium=tumblr
