Shipwrecked is low-key one of the best smutty books that they have published, but NOT because of the smut

That’s stupid. Why would everyone need to stay to set off flares? And you’re gonna run out of food and water more quickly with more people on the island

I've noticed when choices focus on romance books the creators do their worst💀(surrender,nanny affair) and if they do sequels after sequels they make lose the main book's essence(the royal romance)
When they did fantasy or supernatural books they do a better job at flashing out their characters and stories-the romance felt real!(the first few fantasy books before they start to drop them😑)
It's just a little observation!you can disagree! Also if you say that getaway girls and guinevre are worth it,I'm gonna give them a try🤗
Yeah no I totally agree! I’ve said it numerous times and I’ll say it again: PB’s romances are at their absolute best in non-romance books. In non-romance books, romance is present but takes a backseat as the writers focus more on the plot, but also don’t force the romance. And the lack of a forced romance is doubly good when the love interests are fleshed out, which in a lot of non-romance books, they are.
Surrender, TNA, Shipwrecked, Witness, etc. don’t even feel romantic. They feel horny. Hell, not even a good, rich horny: they just feel cold, robotic, and driven by fleshly desires. PB forces the shoddy romances in these books so hard because they NEED you to care about the LI and root for them and their relationship because otherwise, the story doesn’t work. And because it’s so forced, the story not working is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And obviously it’s like you said with the much longer series, i.e. The Freshman and The Royal Romance. They become a victim of seasonal rot, which is basically a gradual drop in quality the longer a series goes on.
The Freshman’s seasonal rot is at its absolute worst in The Junior, but it kind of recovers during The Senior, though not fully. The characters feel a lot more shoehorned in and hollow and they never totally make a comeback from that, but the plot does at least.
But The Royal Romance’s seasonal rot got worse…and worse…and worse…and that’s how we ended up with The Royal Finale. The characters we once loved were Flanderized (see my post about Flanderization in TRR) and oversimplified at best, or their characters were completely butchered and made totally unlikable at worst. Bertrand is the only character who I think improved over time while everyone else suffered. And I’m not even going to mention how terrible the main plots ended up because I’ve rambled on about them enough. Suffice it to say TRR was not done any favors by going on as long as it did.

How are you liking the gay smut in recent gender of choice books like Shipwrecked and Untameable? Laws of Attraction was still the best for me because of the many hookups you can't blame a hoe for doing what hoes do
In my opinion, the writing quality for mlm sex scenes has increased dramatically. There’s more attention to detail when it comes to how both characters are written in bed together, and I’m not talking about having the ability to choose top or bottom. Even though that’s great too and I like mixing up depending on the events of the story.
I need to reread Shipwrecked, but I distinctly remember there being a sex scene every chapter near the end. Should have happened from the start IMO if this is a smut book but I think they learned that with Untamable. There’s sex nearly every chapter after the introduction chapters, and to me (from what I remember) those scenes have been stellar so far. It’s not just the physicality but the emotional aspects of MC x Kit that are given more depth, at least as an MLM player. LoA only had 2 sex scenes and both were quality if you pick Gabe (which I did). Along with the many hookups and threesome!
Tldr the writers at PB headquarters have done their homework (or watched lots of gay porn for analysis). There’s room for improvement but I def feel deeper for LI like Trystan, Gabe, Kit and Manu because the non-sexual and sexual scenes are all equally gratifying. It feels more worth it to invest time into reading their respective books. They should’ve had more mlm and wlw covers if I’m honest it would make more sense but 😶 different topic.

Shipwrecked sounds like a pretty cool book, but I'll definitely keep my hopes in check given how all the latest books have been treated

I hate how Pixelberry was like
“We heard you and we’re giving you a zombie story!!”
And then only gives it to VIPs. Like cmon, who wants to pay $15 a MONTH for a few damn stories that aren’t even that good 🤨

Top Ten Books/Series I forgot existed
So this has been sitting in my drafts for like a month or two and I just got an ask that made me want to actually post it. I think I made this simply because I was bored, couldn’t sleep, and enjoy making lists, so I decided to make a top ten list featuring books/series that I totally forgot about because…they’re just forgettable, no two ways about it. Because let’s be real here: there are great Choices books, there are terrible Choices books, and there are Choices books that are like…hey…hi…I’m just kinda here.
10. Shipwrecked. PLEASE do not quote me on this, but I *think* it released sometime this past year. Honestly most of the reason this book suffered was due to the lack of interesting characters, or characters in general because off the top of my head all I can remember are the MC, the LI, Dr. Hale, and the LI’s old business partner but I can’t even remember their name at this point. Hell, I can’t even remember much of the plot, and even after playing a chapter I remember forgetting almost everything about it pretty much immediately.
9. Wishful Thinking. I actually quite liked this book. It was lighthearted and pretty fun during a time where we needed some lightheartedness to balance out the more intense/angsty book releases. But unfortunately, the plot itself was kinda meh, and since it was a standalone, there was no real reason to remember it. Even worse, this book began the unfortunate trend of reusing background characters as MC’s “close friends”.
8. Foreign Affairs. Remember when FA was announced and, the dumbasses that we were, we were all convinced it would save the fandom from the book drought? Yeah…it feels like such a distant memory now. The book seemed really, really promising. And it could have been. But holy hell, it was executed so poorly and the premise of the plot was so flimsy. What I once thought would be a great book is now one of the ones I just squint at when I remember it even exists.
7. A Very Scandalous Proposal. I’ve talked about this one a little bit before. The main appeal of AVSP was Simon/Ava. If you didn’t like them? Tough shit, buddy. The main goal of the book was to uncover the secrets of the Montjoy family. Unfortunately, PB didn’t give us a reason to care about or find interest in said Montjoy family, which is probably why the book faded from my memory so quick.
6. Passport to Romance. This is kind of a weird one for me. I forget it exists most of the time, but then when I do remember it, I remember how truly terrible it was, while most of the other books on this list aren’t very fresh in my memory. It was so unimpressive, bland, and the characters were tolerable at best and obnoxious at worst (ELLIOT LANGDON).
5. Rising Tides. The book was okay…but it pushed a generic “save the earth” message while forcing us to pay to clean the town. The MC was a sidekick in her own story which would’ve been fine, but Charlie was such an annoying character that it wasn’t even enjoyable. Also, the Big Bads conceded waaaaay too easily at the end. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I forgot about this book in less than a week after the final chapter aired.
4. Witness: A Bodyguard Romance. Believe it or not, despite how awful this book was, I forgot about it pretty quickly. It could’ve been a really cool story, but it focused too heavily on romance when the MC and Cassian’s lives were on the line quite literally at every second. Other than that…I truthfully do not remember much about this book other than the Irish mob.
3. Ms. Match. This book was decent enough and it didn’t stop releasing until that long ago. However, the plot was one of those “fight to reach the top and win the competition” plots which quite frankly have been overdone in Choices for a few years now. Not to mention, there weren’t a lot of interesting characters except for Maggie and maaaaaybe the MC’s dad but that’s pushing it a little. The reason it’s so high on this list is because it didn’t end that long ago, yet I can’t seem to remember a damn thing about the book, other than that I HATED the love interest.
2. Home for the Holidays. Many moons ago, this was considered one of the worst, if not, THE worst, book in Choices. And many moons ago, I agreed. But the horrific mediocrity of this holiday flurry of fuck was outshined by some truly awful stories and simply faded into obscurity.
1. Sunkissed. As I made this list, I scrolled through the series on the app, and while most books on this list elicited an “oh yeah, I kinda remember this” from me, when I saw this one, I was like “holy shit, I completely forgot this book was even a thing”. While Home For the Holidays and Sunkissed are both sort of (for lack of a better word) Hallmark-y, Sunkissed was longer and, in my opinion, a little sloppier. The book just wasn’t sure what it wanted to be. A lighthearted summer beach romance? A tale of a family’s struggles with grief and interpersonal conflict in the wake of a father and husband’s untimely death? Fuck it, we’ll uncomfortably cram BOTH into the main plot, execution be damned!
