Book #29:
Tumblr media
Whit by Cora Rose (Book #1 of the Unexpected series)
Straight boy Caleb is totally intrigued by his mysterious roommate Whit. Whit quiet, uptight, is alway reading, and wears black from head to toe. Does he know how to loosen up and have fun? Caleb plans to figure it out and fall in love while doing so. There’s not much I can say without spoiling it, but this book is definitely worth the read. Be warned though there are trigger warnings for cutting, suicide attempting, and mentions of homophobia.
Overall: ⭐️ 4/5 🌶 4/5

Bilogía Inesperado - Cora Rose (2022) [En Español]
Los hombres heterosexuales no se enamoran de otros hombres, ¿verdad? Excepto que mi compañero de cuarto, Whit, es intrigante, y me encuentro observándolo constantemente. Es un misterio al que no puedo descifrar, y estos sentimientos que estoy teniendo por él son realmente confusos. Luego, una noche, me encuentro envuelto alrededor de él, y después de eso no puedo tener suficiente. Pero Whit…

Always Him (started 4/2/24)
Cora Rose
(Currently reading)
The first book in this series was amazing however.... I was not digging Fin/Landon's relationship.
What I like...
I think Cora Rose (author) is extremely talented at dipicting the differing perceptions of different characters in her stories. In "Until Him" (Book 1 that focuses on Logan/Theo), Logan views the sexual nature of the relationship between his brother (Landon) and their mutual best friend, Finn, as being initiated by Finn.
In book 2 (Always Him, Landon/Finn focus), we learn that its LANDON who is the main driving force of their sexual contact. FURTHERMORE, we learn that Landon SPECIFICALLY does things to Finn in secret in order to make it so he is not seen as the initiate of these interactions.
Its nothing terribly unseemly imo, however, its def dubcon. Lmao Landon even mentions that he likes dubcon and has to explain what it is to Finn (fyi dubcon= dubious consent).
Tbc...

Heart2Heart: A Contemporary Charity Anthology, Vol. 7
Synopsis
Once upon a time SIX YEARS AGO, the Heart2Heart app made its first batch of incredibly unlikely (but oh-so-perfect) love matches. So a fresh, new group of your favorite authors wondered… what happens when the world’s most perceptive dating software gets an upgrade, just in time for Valentine’s Day?
Will the porcelain teacup collector, the shy rugby player, and the bank robber with a heart of gold find their perfect matches? Only fate (and C.U.P.I.D) know.
As always, all proceeds from this anthology will benefit LGBTQ+ charities to ensure that love in all its incarnations will be celebrated and protected every single day of the year!
Stories included in this collection are: Among Friends, by Annabeth Albert A New Thrill, by Avril Ashton Brie Mine, by Charlie Novak When CUPID Strikes, by Cora Rose Mixed Signals, by E.M. Lindsey August’s Thief, by Fearne Hill Skating After You, by Hayden Hall Wings of Love, Jackie North Love in Bloom, by Jocelynn Drake The Shape of the Heart’s Desire, K.C. Wells Meat Cute, by Kelly Fox Mixed Motives, by Leslie McAdam
My Thoughts
As with every Heart2Heart Anthology I read, there were some hits, and there were some misses. But overall, we’re gonna keep this review short and sweet.
I loved the concept of this anthology, and each story was interesting, and unique. I loved some more than others, and I’ve definitely added a couple of new authors to my future reading list.
Every time I read one of these anthologies, I wait in impatient anticipation for the next one. And luckily for me, there’s the Paranormal half I get to explore next!

Loving this one! Probably gonna finish it tonight and start the next one in the series right away.
I love when I find a book that I can so easily get into and be excited to read/hate having to put down.

"I don't know what I am, but probably not straight at this point. Not after all that." "Okay, okay, thats not a big deal really, in the scheme of you know, life. I mean, there are wars and starvation, so sexual preference isn't a big thing. You don't have to label it."

Book #33:

Luke by Cora Rose (Book #4 in the Unexpected series)
This is about Luke (Caleb’s cousin) and Elliott (who we met briefly in book three) and this has to be my favourite out of the series and I adore this series. There is something about the Von Beek boys that just makes you fall in love with them. If you know where I can get one let me know 😂
Overall: ⭐️ 5/5 🌶 4/5

The Unexpected Series by Cora Rose (Lets talk about it)
Omg this series is AMAZING! OK OK Roses writing style is pretty formulated by now. I (more or less) know what to expect with each book. I am totally ok with this, though, bc Rose is so fucking good at bringing these characters to life on each page.
I really like how the three brothers (Caleb, Sem, and Luke) all have this big friend group thanks (in part) to their partners' acquaintances. Caleb and Whit = Magnus, Magnus is friends with August, Augusts step-brother is Emery, Emerys bestie is Lex, August has a crush on Colin (who he met in yoga class), and Lex is friends with Diablo.
It is a pretty damn cool way to tell a story. I am actually really impressed at how the author has accomplished this whole series. I will totally read more from them, tho idk if I will do so right away bc their writing is really formulated, and it mayyyy be too much if it persists in a different series.
Love this series.
