Good to see a new video from you. Love hearing your thoughts ❤ I read Icebreaker earlier this year and landed on the same rating you did. It was a cute and fun read for the most part but way too long. I am not a fan of these overly long romance books coming out. I think the Dark Romance subgenre is really having their moment and that helped Butcher and Blackbird be successful. I also think it was a book of the month add-on, which helps.

happy to have you here ♥️ i think a long book is warranted if it’s something like a paranormal/fantasy romance that’s cramming a ton of world building in. but if it’s just a contemporary where Becky is a librarian and Greg is a finance bro, I don’t need all that exposition, ya know? 😂 i honestly love the boom of dark romance, as an avid reader & lover, but it’s still shocking to me when they start making their rounds because people have such rigid ideals of romance.
