He has wanted her since the first moment he saw her, and when he learns she sings with the voice of an angel, it reaches a part of his heart he can no longer talk himself out of. There is just one problem: Cree is dating a burly biker and is firmly off-limits, or so Brock believes. Over one fun-filled weekend among family and friends, the pull between the guarded gym owner and the free-spirited singer becomes impossible to resist, and Brock decides he is done holding back. A shorter, standalone story within the larger Love in Bloom collection, it trades the slow build of a full novel for a concentrated rush of chemistry, laughter, and heart, as two people who assumed they could never be together begin to question that assumption.

In 1970s Cyprus, her parents-to-be, Kostas and Defne — he Greek Christian, she Turkish Muslim — fall in love in secret, meeting at a tavern called The Happy Fig as their island slides toward war and partition.\n\nWoven through both timelines is a third, unexpected narrator: a fig tree, carried as a cutting from Cyprus to a London garden, which watches over the family and remembers everything the humans cannot bear to say. Through its eyes, Shafak braids together buried history, ecological wonder, and the long aftershocks of a divided homeland.\n\nTender and elegiac, The Island of Missing Trees is a novel about inherited silence and inherited love — about how the traumas of one generation take root in the next, and about the fragile work of belonging to a place, a family, and a past.

Chief among the threats is Xaden Riorson, the brooding, dangerous wingleader whose father was executed for leading a rebellion against Violet's mother—giving him every reason to want her dead.\n\nBut as the war beyond Navarre's borders grows harder to ignore and the kingdom's defenses begin to fail, Violet starts to suspect that the leadership is hiding the truth about what's really happening on the front lines.

So when she needs to convince her best friend that her own love life is thriving, she panics and kisses the first man she sees — who happens to be Adam Carlsen, a young, brilliant, notoriously unapproachable professor.\n\nTo Olive's surprise, Adam agrees to keep up the fake-dating charade; he has reasons of his own for wanting the department to believe he's settling down. What begins as a tidy arrangement grows complicated as conference travel, lab politics, and Adam's unexpected steadiness start to blur the line between performance and feeling.\n\nAli Hazelwood's debut is a warm, funny STEM rom-com about a heroine who trusts her hypotheses more than her heart, and the grumpy academic who makes her want to revise them.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6rw4ba9ygc3pb0f3vam5a.jpg","LVFQF2}@JBIq0f9as,%2k?o~RPRP","4.03",395,[1139],{"id":677,"slug":678,"name":679},[1141,1142,1143],{"id":131,"name":132,"slug":133,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},[1145],{"id":1146,"slug":1147,"name":1132,"position":202,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkd35sc8f9evpt2f7t5cevqg","the-love-hypothesis-t2ry",{"pace":79,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":1149,"themes":1150,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[337,84,144],[1151,339],"fake-dating",[1153],{"id":1154,"slug":1155,"title":1156,"user":1157,"work_id":4,"is_draft":20,"verified_reader":21,"featured":20,"body":1164,"overall_rating":375,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":1165,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":1166,"like_count":18,"comment_count":18,"top_likers":1167,"viewer_can_reply":20,"created_at":110,"updated_at":110},"01kxpq2j9m8rtx31gm75ceg8hd","review-of-seaside-serenade-by-nadene","Review of \"Seaside Serenade\" by nadene",{"id":1158,"name":1159,"username":1160,"avatar_url":1161,"is_system":20,"published_reviews_count":1162,"books_read_count":1163},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Season Serenade is book 9 and a novella in the Seaside Summer series. Despite being the brevity of the tale, Seaside Serenade delivered a fun and steamy feel-good romance.\n\nThe events of Seaside Serenade took place over a two-day period. Although this is book 9, Seaside Serenade makes a wonderful introduction to readers not familiar with the series. For those familiar with the series, it offers one the chance to catch up with the couples from the previous books, while delivering a short, spicy and sweet romance for a new couple, Brock and Cree.\n\nBrock and Cree shared and intense attraction, however a misunderstanding prevented them from exploring their feelings. The moment they learnt the truth there was no holding back for these two. I enjoyed spending with this couple but I wished I had more time with them.\n\nI had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook which was narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Sean Masters. Their voices complemented each other and they brought the characters and the story to life. They did a great job with the variety of characters' voices. They showcased different tones for each character. Their collaboration led to a satisfying listening experience  This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpq2j9m8rtx31gm75ceg8hd",[]]
