Starting tomorrow (Friday, June 5th)? What do you think, Laura?


Trip  (shardsofromance) Sounds good to me! 😊

Just letting know will probably speed through this one as it's for a challenge too, hopefully it's as good as looks and seems xx


Trip  (shardsofromance) I mean it's the 5th now for me so... Ive just finished Ch 5 😂

Yeah I can already tell I'm going to love this, give me all the love hate vibes and I might not be a fan of misunderstandings but I like it here. Hopefully once they actually start talking it won't last too long as that would be annoying, so far I love their banter though and the dancing is hot as hell.

I do adore the intimacy with dance and these two are hilarious in their dislike yet attraction for each other. The ust is high between these two and i can feel their chemistry already, I'm looking forward to seeing their relationship develop 😊

:D Someone got an early start.

I just finished chapter 5, too.

I do hope they will talk soon. The whole "I don't know anything about where he comes from, but Imma judge him for being happy" is. Ugh. Not my favorite.

That should certainly prove explosive when they get their heads out of their asses :D

Trip  (shardsofromance) I couldn't help myself 😂

Agreed its not something I ussually like but I can live with it because they really don't seem to know anything about each other and so don't know each others history.

Will be fun once they start talking though I'm sure and definitely hot as hell with this chemistry it should be electric, I do enjoy love hate/enemies to Lovers vibes just as much if not more then friends to Lovers. The tension is just perfect x

Soooo… I finished chapter 13.

These two are hella frustrating right now. I wish they'd just talk already!


Trip  (shardsofromance) Oh great, hopefully it picks up the pace.

I'm going to catch up later, got a couple meetings to do till 3 xx

Ok. I have to convince the dog that the rain won't kill her now, so... Who knows how long that'll take. Judging from the annoyed sigh I just heard coming from her after she looked outside to see it was still raining, I'm guessing LONG :D


Trip  (shardsofromance) Lol good luck! I hope manage to get her out for a bit. Luckily the rain hasn't hit here yet but looks like it will soon 😂

Trip  (shardsofromance) Just finished Ch 10!

The park scene was super cute and a lot of fun, was ncie to get a glimpse of them both outside of the work place. I do think both as bad as each other though as Dane is too focused on his past relationship and putting that on Jesse, while Jesse is just pretty rude because his grumpy presuming he can't have fun and pushing him.

The miscommunication is ridiculous definitely, but then I realised only a quarter of way into the story so I expect it to last a while yet. Although I'm looking forward to the underground and singing, also really like friend Seth he seems sweet and Hailey the kid is adorable!

Going to try to get to Ch 20 then will be back 😊


Trip  (shardsofromance) Finished Ch 20 and it gets so much better!

While the chemistry between these two is hot and steamy as heck especially with those dancing scenes and the storage room... But there's also so much soft and sweet feels here.

Im really enjoying it now that theyre actually starting to talk to each other and see what they have in common, how well the fit together and their chemistry is wonderful.

(view spoiler)

I did manage to get her outside, but not for long :D But now it's stopped raining we went for a longer evening walk.

So I have some catching up to do :D


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
I agree, Dane seems a little too hung up on his last relationship. It might be nice to know more about this, but so far?
I wonder what is going on with little Seth. I kinda want to know more about him…

Trip  (shardsofromance) Aww that's good got a walk, I went to the post office and I thought be fine get out before rain. Not thinking be queue and of course moment I got there it started spitting 😂 luckily didn't last long.

I agree about past relationship. It has small reveals coming up and makes sense in a way I think just personality wise had a lot in common with Jesse so Dane struggling to split it in his head.

Me too! Seth is lovely and I would love to know more about him, apparently the 2nd book in the series is supposed to be about him but i haven't seen announcement yet.

Im probably try to finish this tonight for my challenge 😊


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Ok, I'll probably finish it tomorrow. We'll see how it goes :D


Trip  (shardsofromance) Fair enough 😊 I've just finished Ch 30 and can say this definitely improves from the start, it's really grabbed me and I love these two so much. I think I connect with Dane more just because his more withdrawn and quiet vibe, I think that's why I adore Seth too.

Jesse is incredible and I love his strength, especially considering his family history and I really enjoy these two together. I think they work perfectly because of their differences and yet so sweet as they also have a lot in common with their current situations.

Oh and I really enjoy the bar/club setting, with all the dancing and their interactions at work are a lot of fun along with the rest of the cast.

I hope you like it! X


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Yep, they complement each other really well!

I'm at chapter 37 at the moment, and I love that they're finally talking :D


Trip  (shardsofromance) Agreed! Its so much better when they finally start talking 😊


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
I finished it!

I really liked it. The misunderstanding in the beginning lasted too long for my tastes, but they were such awesome people, and just so perfect for each other!!!

You picked a great book!!!!

But what do I read now… Thoughts? :D


Trip  (shardsofromance) Agreed! I'm glad you enjoyed it in the end and they're lovely together.

Thanks I do try 😂

My next few books are sequels, but checking my recent reads you might enjoy
Marcus in Retrograde (Aligning Stars Book 1) by S.A. Sommers or The Other Guy by Cary Attwell

Im biased though as I loved those.


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
The other guy looks interesting..

Btw, you do not have my all time favorite m/m romance on your shelves (I think). Tsktsktsk... *whispers*it's also one of the best audio books ever...

Glitterland (Spires, #1) by Alexis Hall Glitterland

Trip  (shardsofromance) Yeah it's a fun book, I was shocked by how much I liked it especially since no steam it's clean sex wise 😂

Aww I love the covers of this series and have had a look at them a few times over the years, yet never interested me. Sorry but not connected with me enough to try yet, maybe some day...

Oh and I don't do audio books they're amazing but I can't focus enough or get into a story with someone else reading to me. I tried not long ago and just not for me, I'm too much of a visual. I mightt try to read along side audio sometime though, although will have to find right speed as that's another problem with audio for me as I'm a fast reader they feel so long in comparison 😂


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
😆 no worries. The other books in the series also don't appeal to me. But Glitterland is... special to me.
Oh well. We'll find something to read together. Plus, we have Pop Star soon. 😆


Trip  (shardsofromance) Of course! Pop Star be soon, I'm looking forward to it xx

I'd be up for more and I'd have a look through my list, but got bunch challenges to catch up on first so need to pick from those first.

Other then the ones I mentioned in buddy read thread, I've got
Two Steps Back by Lyn Gala or Counterpoint (Song of the Fallen, #1) by Rachel Haimowitz
Planned to read this month


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Meh. I'll wait for Pop Star :D


Trip  (shardsofromance) Awesome! I look forward to it 😊
