Text Appal By Amber Roberts

Blrub:In this delightful debut novel perfect for fans of Olivia Dade and Kate Stayman-London, STEM gets steamy when a coder takes up sexting to pay the bills. As the only woman programmer at her firm, Lark is thrilled to land the lead role managing an account for a huge client. But her dream job quickly becomes a nightmare when she accidentally projects a scandalous (and completely unsolicited) picture from her phone onto the screen during a presentation. Before she can recover, her coworkers jump in to steal the account, leaving Lark jobless and broke. When a friend suggests text message-based sex work as a stopgap between jobs, Lark is dubious. She’s all about sex-positivity, but carrying out sexual fantasies—even digitally and anonymously—with complete strangers is more than a little daunting. How will she explain how she’s earning a living—especially to Toby, her good friend and longtime hopeless crush? Still, she needs the money, and after a few (embarrassing and hilarious) false starts, sexting turns out to be not so bad. She might even like it, especially with one particularly charming and nerdy client who keeps popping up in her DMs. But when Toby confesses feelings for Lark, she finds herself with a decision to make: tell Toby that she’s a sex worker—and try to forget the anonymous client whose conversation skills have her struggling to separate work from real feelings—or keep the secrets that are piling up in her inbox. Sure to appeal to readers of Helen Hoang and Jen DeLuca, Amber Roberts’s Text Appeal celebrates women in STEM, friends becoming lovers, and finding lasting love in the digital age.
@silkybookloverfun @NetGalley @Penguin Random House Is a romance following Lark in her journey after being dismissed from her tech job due to a dick pic intent? Enter Lark becoming a sexting worker. It's a fun read with some obvious character tropes going to happen never less; it's a fun band quirk read, the perfect feel-good book. Very cute ending.

A Witches Guide to Fake Dating by Sarah Hawley

Blurb My Thoughts:A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon By Sarah Hawley Pub Date 9th March Genre: Romance, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Publication:Orion Publishing Group, Gollancz When Mariel attempts to summon flour for a muffin recipe, she instead summons Ozroth , and he refuses to leave until she makes a deal with him. This book started strong but by 50% the way threw it was not gripping me. I didn't feel for either of the characters. It's felt more like a slapstick comedy than a parnamol romance. It's a cute story though. #dejavu #gifted#arc #NetGalley #bookstagram #bookreview #goodreads #booktok #bookclub #booklover #storygraph #arcreader #silkybookloverfun #letsread #tiktokviral #readersoftiktok

But as he finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Finn, Seb starts to question the true nature of the challenges they must undergo.

@silkybookloverfun HappyHead by Josh Silver HappyHead is a radical camp for intervention to try and solve the epidemic of unhappiness. HappyHead is a dystopian novel following Seb's journey to solve teenage unhappiness. This is a very different read and feels like you are in a trial for l life Sebastian is entered into this program by his parents whislt we progress through his journey at HappyHead, we get an eerie vibe of what these educators are doing to these teenagers throughout their assessment. With each evaluation, we fear what will happen next. During these assessments, Seb meets Finn, which causes a conflict of emotions within Seb. I adore that Seb is gay, and it's a great representation of how males react to this discovery of themselves. Getting near the end that twist I did not expect and this really shocked me. Be aware, as I was not, that this is the beginning of a series! There is no resolution here; instead, the ending cliffhangs horribly. #read #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bibliophile #bookaddict#books #bookstagram #book #reading #booklover #bookworm #bookish #booknerd #fyp#booktok#dejavu #gifted#arc #NetGalley #bookstagram #bookreview #goodreads #booktok #bookclub #booklover #storygraph #arcreader #silkybookloverfun #letsread #tiktokviral #readersoftiktok #HappyHead #Thriller @Oneworld Publications @NetGalley ♬ original sound - Silkybookloverfun📚

Speak of the Devil by Rose Wilding

Blurb: Seven women stand in shock in a seedy hotel room; a man's severed head sits in the centre of the floor. Each of the women - the wife, the teenager, the ex, the journalist, the colleague, the friend, and the woman who raised him - has a very good reason to have done it, yet each swears she did not. In order to protect each other, they must figure out who is responsible, all while staying one step ahead of the police. Against the ticking clock of a murder investigation, each woman's secret is brought to light as the connections between them converge to reveal a killer. A dark and nuanced portrait of love, loyalty, and manipulation, Speak of the Devil explores the roles in which women are cast in the lives of terrible men...and the fallout when they refuse to stay silent for one moment longer.

Maybe Next Time by Cesca Major

Blurb Emma is having the worst day of her life. Frustrating. Chaotic. And the only person who could make it better is gone by the end of the day. Yet even worse than all of that: Emma keeps waking up to the same day, over and over again. But what if this is a sign things could be different? Can Emma change the heartbreaking end to this love story? Maybe Next Time by Cesca Major Pub Date 30 Mar 2023 Publisher: HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction, HarperCollins Genre: General Fiction (Adult) | Romance | Women's Fiction Emma and Dan meet on a train. Years ago now, they were a couple with children. Emma's a high-fluting workaholic in publishing. One day, a tragic event happens, and Dan is now dead. Alas, Emma wakes up on the best day to an alive Dan and repeats the day repeatedly, trying to change his fate. I enjoyed reading Dan's letters to Emma through this book. Although tedious at times due to the similarities of the days as she goes through them herself, you can see how Emma adjusts every time, and you also get snippets into those around them. That was a slight twist that I didn't expect. Hattie, oh, why are you going through all this? This book made me cry and is a 4. 5/5 for me. It's brilliant and makes you reflect on yourself and your relationships and not take them for granted. #NetGalley #bookstagram #bookreview #goodreads #booktok#bookclub #MaybeNextime

The Shape of your heart

@silkybookloverfun

The Shape of your heart This book will take you on an emotional journey. My heart broke for Callie; she was such a sweet soul who didn't deserve what happened to her. The story is told from the perspectives of the two main characters, Callie and Nathan. It was interesting to hear the story from both of their perspectives. I also liked Callie's family and their close relationship with one another. When fate intervenes to prevent Callie from marrying, She's at a loss for what to do and is instead dealing with grief. A year later, she's trying to put her life on track together and stop crying. These two first encounter on the beach, but Callie isn't quite prepared to be happy when they first meet. When destiny intervenes and brings them together again Dare she accept his friendship, or will it cause her even more pain? Gardening and nature are important in assisting them to heal. But there are numerous twists and turns before the big reveal. An emotional roller-coaster ride of a life journey Including several family dramas thrown in for good measure!

Now he’s out, we’ll get married and I’ll finally get to meet his daughter. There’ll be no more hiding our love. The Other Woman. No one knows what happened all those years ago, and the life I built depends on no one finding out. Now he’s getting out, my secrets may soon see the light. I can’t let that happen. One Loves Him.

The Ideal Man by Sandy made me nervous from the start; he just didn't sit right with me. Having her father convicted of rape must have been extremely difficult for Colette. But she stood by him and believed in his innocence, even though others, including his son, did not. I thought Lynne was really nice, but I kept thinking, oh my god, what are you doing!!! Every word was perfect, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. It's difficult to put down.
