I just want to say it seems that the majority of the fandom, from what I’ve personally seen, is not digging the idea of this next book, “The Nanny Affair” and I just want to say I can completely see and understand as to why. PB were putting out romance book after romance book after romance book for the longest time and when BOLAS & Distant Shore were annoumce we were so excited because it was going to be something different. Something exciting with mystery and just more than romance. Like romance is cool to have in a book but when it’s the soul of the book and storyline, it’s doesn’t to me at least, make the book worthy of reading. Real life, for most, isn’t us waking up and kissing/being intimate with people all day, everyday. It’s just not. Personally, I’ve taken to taking my favourite characters and writing short stories with them in it and curating playlists to help me create what I wish I could see. Personally I LOVE the true crime, sci-fi, mystery type books.
Because they’re engaging. You have to find treasures/clues/recruit new members to your crew. Your decisions carry more weight in the story and DRASTICALLY change the outcome in most cases. Where as the romance books are just MEH, I don’t enjoy them anymore. They’re stale now. There’s nothin to them because it’s the same storyline over and over again just different characters. It’s boring. After Bolas, Distant Shores and Open Heart have finished. If there’s nothing worth reading there I may have to take a break from the app/platform because I just can’t physically put myself through the “oh look! They cheated.” or the “I love you. Do you love me? Let’s get married” stuff anymore.
