Hey Bookish Boo!
There is always a lot of conversation among readers about cringey words we romance authors use in our books. The conversation mostly revolves around π vs π, but some influencers have whole lists of words they don't want to see π€£.
I know it frustrates some authors, but mostly I just laugh because honestly, if we stopped using the all suggested words our books would be blank LOL!
I don't have words that make me cringe but I get eye twitchy at words used incorrectly in books. Usually homophones are to blame and it can happen to anyone. For example, I was rereading Chaser and noticed someone said 'square route' as in square root of a number.
Bruh.
You have no idea how many eyes have been on this book in the last two years since its release AND before. And I never noticed it. Neither did any of my editors.
I could use a good laugh, shoot me your least favorite words - from romance book or anywhere else and tell me why.
As always, don't forget the freebie and featured books at the bottom of the newsletter!
Hugs & Books,
T

Beauty from the ashes...
Juliette Scott had a beautiful life once with a loving family and growing career as an author. Then tragedy struck, leaving her widowed and the rest of her life in tatters. As she grapples with her loss, Juliette leans on Logan, an old college friend, whose gentle charm and fierce loyalty stir feelings she believes should stay buried forever.
β
On paper, Logan Kahale is an affable search and rescue expert who sings in dive bars on the weekend. Off the books, he makes millions as the dangerous manhunter codenamed Wolf. When fate brings Juliette back into his life, he watches from the sidelines as his college crush's perfect life is torn apart, going from distant observer to dedicated friend determined to help her make it through the tough times, even if it means locking away his feelings for her forever.
β
When a stalker threatens Juliette's career and everything she holds dear, Logan vows to keep her safe at any cost. Will they be brave enough to embrace what's growing between them, or will love be the death of them?

Tired of terrible date after terrible date, one night, with a bit of liquid courage, Olani makes a website that gives her a pool of infinite candidates catered towards what she wants in life: marriage.
Elion, a dedicated sculptor, is content with his busy work life and isnβt looking to date. However, his niece thinks he should put himself out there and helps change that with one survey.
When the two meet, the attraction is palpable. Their relationship is exactly what Olani is looking for, and Elion finds that sometimes other people minding his business works in his favor.
