Review: Hardly Strangers: A Modern Romance by A.C. Robinson



Blurb from Goodreads:
For fans of How to Fake it in Hollywood and Before Sunrise, a romance about how a chance encounter can rewrite a story—and change everything.

This is the night Shera's been waiting She’s at a trendy Silver Lake bar to finally get a drink with the handsome, charming filmmaker she's been pining after for months.

But when Max King—the alluring and mischievous frontman of an Irish punk band—enters the picture, an electric attraction ignites between them.

Shera’s evening begins to unfold in ways she never imagined, and she surprises herself by getting swept up in his energy and daring to feel again after past heartbreak. But how does she know their passionate encounter won't expire in the morning? And is she ready to shed some of her hard-earned armor for this disarming stranger?

The second book from 831 Stories, a modern romantic fiction company that prioritizes pleasure reading and the genre’s enthusiastic fans.
 
While I liked 831 stories' first book better, this was still very good and very different.  I just wish it was longer!  I need more from these characters as much as I loved this in this one, brief moment.  I am so excited for more from this publisher because so far, they are FANTASTIC!  Give this a try!

Hardly Strangers comes out next week on November 12, 2024 and you can purchase HERE.  
Under different circumstances, maybe I'd be excited. Maybe I would be giving myself over to youthful optimism, listening to music, having a drink, and savoring the ritual of getting ready. Unfortunately, as it stands, I've surrendered to nerves and worry, staring at my own reflec tion in total silence like I'm preparing to deliver a dramatic Shake spearean monologue.

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): Should There Be ARCs?

First of all, thank you SO much for reading my very first "discussion" post .  The response was so amazing and I am so grateful to each and every one of you that took the time to read it.  I would like to preface my next discussion post in the same way -- nothing is new and I'm sure that this topic has been discussed by someone, somewhere but this is what is on my mind: SHOULD THERE BE ARCs? Truly, not everything I think about and write about is regarding Maggie Stiefvater's epic series, The Raven Cycle , but it just so happens that this discussion post will mention this series, too.   Those of us that are obsessed with this series (like me) know that there will not be any ARCs for the highly (HIGHLY) anticipated last book of this series, The Raven King . There will be no ARCs (advanced reader copies). Y'all are just going to have to trust me. https://t.co/xYDv0q1tXN — Maggie Stiefvater (@mstiefvater) December 5, 2015 Oddly, I think this ...
