I have 2 year old and my LO is almost 6 weeks old. My husband went back to work at two wks pp and will be taking his paternity leave after my mat leave. He works three 12 hour shifts per week. My mom lives out of state but came last week to help us for two months. Before she came, I told her via text that I really need help with my toddler because my goal is to bond with my newborn.

Well so far, she has been taking care of the newborn mostly. She is great with her but she pretty much holds her all day so LO sleeps it seems like all day except when feeding (I mostly pump and bottle feed bc she is not great at breastfeeding). I have to tell my mom to put her down to stimulate her and allow he

I hate it with a passion.

I will not presume that my view is universal but please don’t require me to perform mental gymnastics to figure out what the characters are saying. That makes it difficult to become immersed in the story!

I am capable of imagining English words being said with a Scottish burr (‘brogue’ is actually a term that refers to shoes) without having it phonetically typed out on page. Do you think I’ll forget that the character is Scottish if you do not add ‘dinnae’ ‘cannae’ ‘yer’ ‘ye’ in every other sentence?

I bought an English book, expecting to read English, not a parody of other accents. It is not just distracting, it’s farcical!

How about French accent: *"'Ar

Hello! Sorry i don’t have much to go with. I read a book that ended with the heroine choosing to go with the hero to America (maybe Boston?). I think he was English but a 2nd or 3rd son. They had a modest house and were pretty much poor but had a promising future. And i think her family came to visit in the end. I don’t remember anything else :( It’s not I’m Only Wicked With You.

I hope someone out there has also read it! Thanks in advance :)

Here is the link to the DVD on sale for $11 :) People still watch DVDs, right?!

I remember seeing this a couple of years ago and thought this sub might appreciate! :) Here is said kiss for academic purposes.

SpoilerGush/Rave Review

Let me spill the tea on Alistair and Mirabel, because I am absolutely obsessed with them as a couple. Alistair, bearing the physical and emotional scars of war, conceals his limp beneath dapper attire, using it as a shield of sorts. Mirabel's botany-obsessed father, quick to notice Alistair's stylish armor, amusingly likens him to a cactus. Get it? Meanwhile, Mirabel, a self-proclaimed spinster, has forsaken her looks and clothing after being overlooked and disregarded for so long. She's not some young thing, she is pretty much a grandma at 31 years of age. She is not your typical leading lady, and that's why I love her so much. LC made it work, making her relatable and fitting the time per

Hello! FTM here. My 9 week old has overall been a great baby—doesn’t really fuss or cry except when he is hungry or gassy. He will even happily sit in his poo so I have to constantly smell his butt to check lol. He only sleeps in the snoo at night and he naps on me/next to me on a lounger during the day.

Anyway in the last week, he has increased fussiness. He will drink 4-5 ounces, nap for less than an hour, wake up fussing, i pick him up and if he continues to cry I give him the bottle (I combo feed and exclusively pump due to latch issues), he drinks it verrrrry slowly (maybe another 2 oz in 30 mins) and fall asleep while feeding but when i take the bottle away he wakes up and cries.

I pretty much grew up on Jude Deveraux and have probably read her whole catalogue. I’ve also read a ton of Judith Mcnaught and Julie Garwood and some Johanna Lindsey.

I am ok with noncon/dubcon/cheating but I cannot abide casual racism, anti-Native American and anti-ugly/fat sentiments.

The following are on my TBR but I need help choosing a starting point. Feel free to recommend other books too but please—no Lisa kleypas or mary Balogh!

{the wolf and the dove by Kathleen woodiwiss}

{through the storm by Beverly Jenkins}

Just trying to help someone find a book

“In the early 90s I read an HR book and have been looking for it again ever since. I cannot remember the h name but I believe the H name was Marcus. I don't recall why they married but she didnt know him when they did. The opener is her walking down a long road with all her belongings to his home. When they finally have sex he brings her a bag of sponges with strings attached and a bottle of vinegar to dip them in. I believe the first time they were together he put one in for her. The whole story revolves around him refusing to have children because his father went insane and he was afraid he would too. In the end he finds out his dad wasn't "crazy" h

⛔️ SPOILER WARNING! ⛔️

Does anyone know what happened to them and why they did not end up together? >!Did he cheat on her? Was it ever explained why she did not meet him by the trees? I know some of us have been begging Julie Ann Long for forever to write their story but she has been hesitant since it doesn’t end HEA.!<

I haven’t read the whole Pennyroyal Green series so i’m not sure if there are more clues in the other books.
