Title: Don't Date Rosa Santos

Author: Nina Moreno

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2019

Genres: fiction, contemporary, romance, magical realism, LGBT+

Blurb: Rosa Santos is cursed by the sea...at least, that's what they say. Dating her is bad news, especially if you're a boy with a boat. But Rosa feels more caught than cursed - caught between cultures and choices. Between her abuela, a beloved healer and pillar of their community, and her mother, an artist who crashes in and out of her life like a hurricane; between Port Coral, the quirky South Florida town they call home, and Cuba, the island her abuela refuses to talk about. As her college decision looms, Rosa collides - literally - with Alex Aquino, the mysterious boy with tattoos of the ocean whose family owns the marina. With her heart, her family, and her future on the line, can Rosa break a curse and find her place beyond the horizon?

“How did I ever find you?” he asked as he moved to her side. “You didn’t. I found you. At the library of the De Villiers, at the party of the Haduiers, and that night I went to Boniface,” she said lightly. He thought that truly it had been so, but that he had also been drifting toward her since the beginning, magnetized, a compass that had spun wildly and then gently settled upon a true north. Not love at first sight, because those fancies were best left for books and songs, but she had extended her hand and invited him to follow her into a dance, and he had found after a few steps that though he had never danced it before, he did not want to stop.

[cherryblogss]

falando em Simon amante e ciumento, sonho muito com algo assim só que com o fer rs

pensando aqui sabe?

vc matou meia duzia de xerecas fãs do fer com essa ask viu😫 irei falar um pouquinho sobre esse tópico que minha amiga alexia tem uma canetada✍️

Fernando!Amante que trabalha no mesmo lugar que você, mas em um setor diferente, então se conhecem na cafeteria do local quando ambos estão lá muito depois do expediente jantando sozinhos. Ele se apresenta e você logo se encanta, porque além de ser extremamente bonito e másculo, era famoso na empresa pelo sucesso nas finanças. Fernando acha adorável o seu jeitinho animado ao falar com ele apesar de aparentar estar cansada e triste antes dele puxar conversa, já se encontrava viciado em conhecer suas expressões e apreciar a forma que seu cabelo meio bagunçado só adicionava um ar de conforto a sua pessoa. Ele termina a conversa te pedindo para se cuidar e não trabalhar tanto, pois isso leva a uma rotina solitária e nada saudável, mal ele sabia que o trabalho tem sido seu único suporte no momento, seu noivado indo para um caminho péssimo por conta das incertezas se você realmente queria se casar e seu namorado não era bem um príncipe encantado, não que ele fosse uma pessoa ruim, mas você não sentia mais a faísca da paixão e percebeu que depois de todo esse tempo não tinha quase nada que te atraía, pura conveniência.

Fernando!Amante que nos próximos dias te procura para continuarem a conversar, ele fingia que todo encontro era casual, mas por trás de tudo isso ele calculava como iria conseguir te encontrar no dia a dia. Fazia muito tempo que ele não se sentia tão entusiasmado em viver o amanhã, sempre pensando em quando iria te ver de novo mesmo lutando contra os próprios sentimentos para não se apegar tanto. O mundo dele cai quando em um dos jantares de vocês ele nota a joia no seu anelar esquerdo, te perguntando se você era comprometida com o sangue fervendo, mas mantendo um rosto sem reações quando você diz que sim, noiva de um cara que ele nem se importou de aprender o nome. Um pensamento intrusivo invadiu a cabeça do moreno ao sentir um alívio, pois você ainda era noiva, não casada.

Fernando!Amante que quando você tem uma briga com o noivo e corre para o apartamento dele te acolhe nos braços dele do jeito que ele nunca havia acolhido alguém. Te nina até escutar seus roncos suaves, logo em seguida dormindo com os braços ao seu redor. No dia seguinte, Fernando acorda com você deitada bem em cima da ereção matinal jurando ter imaginado seus quadris se esfregando nele, mas quando escuta sua vozinha dizendo manhosa "fer, eu te quero tanto." te deixa cavalgar nele enquanto segura seu torso em um abraço apertado, sussurrava o quanto você era boazinha e linda com a voz rouca de sono. Essa foi a única vez que o sexo não foi totalmente bruto, por mais que quisesse te por embaixo dele e te enforcar, entendia que você estava fragilizada. Ao longo da semana você evitou ver ele, consumida mais pela vergonha do que pelo arrependimento, sabia que Fernando era um homem ocupado e sério provavelmente sem tempo para seus problemas fúteis e desespero, fisicamente estava longe dele, mas ainda sentia o toque firme e os braços musculosos te segurando a todo momento. O argentino te caçou tentando te encurralar de todas as formas para te fazer encarar ele e falar sobre o que havia ocorrido, além de querer mais de você e seu corpo, ele nunca havia sentido uma conexão tão forte e uma bucetinha tão gostosa quanto a sua. Um dia te prende no elevador sozinha com ele, te forçando a ficar de joelhos e pedir desculpas por ter o evitado, em seguida te fez manter a boquinha aberta e as mãos amarradas pela gravata dele enquanto fodia sua boca. Ele te deixava alucinada e despertava coisas que nunca pensou ter vontade de fazer, ao longo de 3 meses se encontravam para rapidinhas na empresa, no carro de um dos dois ou no apartamento dele, mas nunca passava a noite, era uma linha que você não queria passar, apesar de estar fazendo mais coisas de casal com ele do que com seu noivo abestado. Gostava de correr risco de outros descobrirem vocês, uma vez te seguiu no seu intervalo e te fodeu no banheiro feminino, tapando sua boca e comendo sua bucetinha com as suas pernas entrelaçadas na cintura esguia, a porta fazia barulho enquanto ele te descia na pica grossa.

Fernando!Amante que é muito possessivo. No sexo toda vez te pergunta a quem você e sua buceta pertencem, faz gemer o nome dele, te enchia de chupões na virilha e até te deu uma anklet (n sei o nome em português) com um f.c. de pingente. Odiava seu noivo de verdade só por ter te conhecido primeiro, tudo que ele tentava fazer Fernando ia lá e superava de alguma forma, seu parceiro até perguntou uma vez se você notava o jeito estranho que Fernando te olhava ou antecipava tudo que você queria em festas da empresa, você só dava de ombros e tremia com a piscadela que o moreno mandava na sua direção. Fernando te enchia de presentes para quando você olhasse na sua casa, só pensaria nele. O seu relacionamento estava em ruínas, mas eram tantos anos juntos e tantos sentimentos melancólicos que você optou por adiar o casamento ainda mais, desejando que com o tempo encontrasse a resposta para os seus dilemas emocionais. Todos percebiam que mesmo mais alegre, você não lidava bem quando o assunto era seu relacionamento.

Fernando!Amante que faz questão de te encher de porra antes de você ir para casa, adora te marcar de outras formas, mas gozar dentro é a favorita dele. Ele daria tudo para ver a expressão na cara do idiota se te encontrasse com a porra de outro homem dentro da buceta (ele sonhava muito em te engravidar mas isso eh outra coisas queens). A cada mês do caso fica mais territorial e se torna mais seu parceiro para coisas fora da vida sexual que o noivo. No dia que você percebe que estava apaixonada por Fernando e deveria parar de ficar em um relacionamento ruim, decide se afastar definitivamente do moreno. Com o seu distanciamento, Fernando fica perdido, soube por uma amiga sua que tinha terminado seu relacionamento e estava tirando umas férias acumuladas para relaxar. Ele deu os pulos dele e achou seu novo endereço, aparecendo na sua porta encharcado pela chuva com os olhos castanhos entristecidos perguntando por que você tinha abandonado ele e como faria qualquer coisa para não te perder. Os anos não sendo valorizada corroeram sua mente, nunca achou que todas as vezes que fernando demonstrava afeto era real, por isso fica paralisada com a presença dele que entra no seu apartamento mais do que disposto a lutar por ti e consegue te convencer em menos de 1 hora. Vocês tentam começar devagar, mas com 8 meses de namoro já moram juntos e planejam um futuro, além disso, como tinha agora o rótulo de seu parceiro, ele não hesitava em demonstrar todo o afeto e amor por ti - do jeitinho dele - na medida que você volta a aprender a se sentir confortável em um relacionamento.

Fernando!Amante que te deixa sem dúvidas sobre a devoção dele, conseguindo se casar contigo em menos de 3 anos de relacionamento e vocês são mais felizes que nunca juntos pelo resto da vida♡

[bqstqnbruin]

Absolutely no one asked for it but here are the best and worst books I read each month:

January:

Best: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E.Schwab. I STILL think about Addie and Henry

Worst: Don't Date Rosa Santos by Nina Moreno. I couldn't tell you what this book was about other than she was supposed to be like a senior in high school and she read like a five year old

February:

Best: Bloodmarked by Tracey Deonn. I NEED OATHBOUND NOW

Worst: Forged by Blood by Ehigbor Okosun. I felt like I missed three chapters in this book and had no clue what was going on the entire time

March:

Best: All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir. I SOBBED during this book multiple times. One of my students let me borrow her copy of this and tbh I need to go get my own because of how much this broke me.

Worst: The Royals Next Door by Karina Hale. I just didn't care about the couple in this book and genuinely if there was a sequel I don't think I would care enough to read it. It wasn't actually that bad, I just wouldn't pick up more for them.

April:

Best: Funny Story by Emily Henry. I'm not gonna lie, I don't remember a ton about this book other than the yellow crocs on the front cover.

Worst: The Perfect Guy Doesn't Exist by Sophie Gonzalez. tbh I couldn't tell you what this was about other than the FMC is bi and she stopped talking to her childhood best friend because she was in love with her or something

May:

Best: So Fetch: The Making of Mean Girls by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong. This wasn't actually that good, May was just a shit reading month for me tbh

Worst: Good Material by Dolly Alderton. I HATED THIS BOOK. Literally it was just a guy complaining about his life. He was so 'nice guys never get anything' type of shit

June:

Best: Liliana's Invincible Summer by Cristina Rivera Garza. Liliana HAUNTS me to this day tbh

Worst: 60 Songs that Explain the 90s by Rob Harvilla. I cared about exactly none of these songs because as soon as he started to get into getting me to care about them, he was done talking about the song and moved on to something else

July:

Best: Blood at the Root by LaDarrion Williams. It's basically Harry Potter but not written by one of the worst people in the world and takes place at an HBCU and I forget if the second book came out or not but I need it yesterday regardless

Worst: Hearts on Thin Ice by Katie Kennedy. I vividly remember them fucking in front of her gerbil and that he said he has a heart made of salmon. Also that her boobs and his dick all had names. I wish I remembered none of that

August:

Best: A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams. I want to read this book again because I actually don't remember a ton of it other than being up at like 2 am crying over it

Worst: The Breakup Tour by Emily Wibberely and Austin Siegemund-Broka. This sent me into a two month long reading slump and I will never forgive them for this. Genuinely, I read something else by them and I hated it but I thought "oh, let me give them a second chance" because some of the books I read this year were by authors that I didn't like for their debut but I really liked their next books. I should not have.

September:

Best: The Graveyard Shift by M.L.Rio. Give me more of this thank you

Worst: The (Fake) Dating Game by Timothy Janovsky. I didn't care about them being together if we're being honest. I do remember hating the ex though

October (I only read three books this month, don't):

Best: Alone with you in the Ether by Olivie Blake. I miss Reagan and Aldo so much

Worst: The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop ONLY BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO BOOKS I READ WERE BOTH FIVE STARS FOR ME AND THIS WAS FOUR STARS PLEASE

November:

Best: The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I have no clue what happened in this book but I remember it being good.

Worst: Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood. I think I need to stop reading her books tbh because I can't deal with all the sex scenes. They are just the same thing over and over again to me

December (so far):

Best: Daydream by Hannah Grace. I LOVE HENRY SO MUCH PLEASE. AND HALLE. GIVE ME MORE WITH THEM. ALL THE BOOKS

Worst: The Summer of Christmas by Juliet Giglio and Keith Giglio. I'm gonna be so honest if this book is how they work together these two need to get divorced. I genuinely yelled "Oh for fucks sake" multiple times while reading this.

[le-trash-prince]

Okay here is the final list of all the books I’ve finished this year! (since it doesn’t look like I’m going to get anything finished or even started this week.)

I tend to not finish things if I’m not enjoying them (two exceptions on this list because sometimes I am spiteful), so I liked all of these—but the ones in bold are those I particularly loved (I only bolded one per series or it would just be a wall of The Murderbot Diaries lol).

LGBT+ books read: 48

wlw books read: 22

trans/nb books: 17

I’m very happy with my year in reading. I hit my new year’s goal of 52 books finished. And I read a lot of things that I really fucking loved. Lots of robots. LOTS of scifi/fantasy sapphics which I am SO happy about. Some good horror, some good fucky “romances”. A lot of things written in response to the Trump era or written during 2020 lockdown.

I also enjoyed partaking in online book fandom for the first time in possibly ever! Especially Murderbot fandom, which is very active and creative and lovely.

(If you followed me for my bookblogging, thank you for enduring my Thai BL vroom vroom omegaverse brainrot. It will not be stopping anytime soon.)

For 2024, I am going to keep my goal at 52 books and save any extra time I have for rereading old things.

Did I just read the entirety of "The Beautiful Ones" by Silvia Moreno Garcia as Sirius x Hermione? You bet I did. It was very hard not to, but friends was it GOOD. Damn.

I have a problem, ok? My ship consumes me.

Hear me out-- Nina is (imo super autistic coded, but other than that) she's obsessed with learning. She calls herself a naturalist. Perfecting her talents is so important to her that she risks propriety (which she doesn't care for anyway) to see a man who can help her learn. She hides in the Library at balls/parties. Not a great flirt.

Hector is 30+ y/o professional sad boy with a chip on his shoulder. He's determined that he cannot and should not be happy. Happiness to him, is betrayal of theb"greatest" love of his life. He's so enamored with the woman who broke his heart a decade ago, so LOYAL, that it literally takes him until halfway through the book to realize she is a manipulative and hateful snake. And then he does a total 180! He starts living his life and allowing himself happiness. He and his best friend are cute. He's so NOBLE and DETERMINED to hold respect and loyalty over his own heart.

She fell first, he fell HARDER. Ughhhh. Such a good book and so incredibly sirimione. Also, the villain is such a good villain!
