This year I’ll be doing a series I am calling Friend Favorites Fridays, where I take suggestions from my besties I’ve met on Bookstagram and give their favorites a read. This next book is @bellesbookishtower recommendation, When Hearts Collide by @authorvictorialum.

What a super enthralling and seductive taboo romance! I was so excited to read this after it has been on my radar for SO LONG (hehe Lisa I did it!!) The tropes were all right up my alley: student/teacher relationship, forced proximity, secret relationship and… PRIMAL PLAYYYYY!! I was so excited!

What a great story this was, full of an FMC I was enamored with, as well as her gal pals who were her rocks, and some delicious yearnin’ and burnin’ and TENSION. Our MMC Ryland was obsessive and broody, while our FMC Millie was similarly obsessive but was consistently acting on her impulses, putting herself on the line and speaking out with her whole chest. She was AWESOME! Her insistence on their love and her steadfast resolve in them made her so likable and a character I couldn’t help loving and rooting for. I also loved Ryland’s family system, how complex and layered they are, and how I could see the many stories left to be told! This book was fun and I can only imagine how wonderful the rest of the series is. I definitely recommend this read!

Thank you to Lisa for the recommendation!

❤️𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔹𝕋ℙ ℝ𝕖𝕡 𝕋𝕖𝕒𝕞😍

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone that applied to become a Rep. i absolutely loved going through the posts and I wish I could take all of you. You’ve all made me feel so loved.

I have held off having a rep team for so long as YOU are all amazing at sharing with beautiful images, stories and reels of all the BTP books but I realised I need help keeping my socials up to date, sharing past books, future books. Running a small business isnt easy, I wear multiple hats and it gets tough juggling everything, especially over the last few years balancing my home life as well.

I am so thrilled to announce the BTP rep team! These lovely ladies will be joining me in promoting everything BTP. Here they are:

@girlogicreads
@sammysreads
@nattieg_reads
@bex_bookstagram
@nikkis_bookish_cave
@bibliomanic_atthebooksto
@bellesbookishtower
@lover.ofbooks80
@bookmarked.by.romance
@cexleybooks

If you want to keep up with all things BTP, go give these lovely ladies a follow!

❤️And all this wouldnt be possible without two special ladies who keep me in line, suppress the panic, who always have my back, and are brilliant at what they do. A huge thank you, love and recognition goes to:

#anygood? hell yeah #BROTHERS @amanzonprime was way funnier than I expected. It's no 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN but #jamesbrolin is hilariously dorky and #dinklage holds the whole thing together.

just finished - can now watch #ohcanada the new #paulschrader #movie on which it was based. a bit too struggles-of-being-an-artist for my taste, tho in the end its kinda the opposite - and anyway if Schrader filmed birds sleeping I'd watch it so...... #booksbooksbooks📚 #movies #richardgere #jacobelordi #uma #cinema #film

Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating! I hope you have a wonderful day whatever you are doing. This time last year I was finishing the first draft of Find Me in the Shadows! It feels quite surreal to think I not only got it completed but it’s now out there in the world. I am so so grateful to everyone here on booksta that helped make this happen. @greymothediting for helping me perfect it and being such an encouragement, @c.a.farran for answering my endless questions! @kerrytoppingauthor for being my rock through the writing journey and for all the beautiful artwork, @smaldo.designs for the incredible cover, @agbrogan for all the support along the way and to a phenomenal ARC team who are championing this book. I cannot thank you all enough. Much love to you all ❤️
