Thanks to you, I know what I want; and I can’t go back. I want to feel the way I did last night every day. I want to be with someone that, ten years from now, makes my heart jump when I hear her key in the door. And that someone is you.

The Athena Protocol Book Review

A version of this book review for The Athena Protocol first appeared in The Lesbrary.

Hey Jalebi! How are u? How's life going?

I just started my articleship & let's just say office tracks are only fun on screen & paper. Okay, if they would just give me some work, just something to do, instead of making us sit do nothing it would be better but whatever it'll get better (fingers crossed). So, my ask is do u read? I've been on a readers' block & pretty much anything which isn't ipk or khushi-arnav-esque doesn't interest me. I'm looking for good books, if u have any recs for a good grumpy×sunshine/enemies-to-lovers/office romance (lol, definitely not the one I shud read rn) or anything that gives the same feelz

Hello Hi,

OMG CONGRATS.

Hope your articleship has gotten better now! Ah, my dear, I haven't read a book in AGES and tbh, I've rarely read romance outside fanfics. (I still am a bookworm, just gotta develop it again).

I feel I'll have an easier time telling you all the love stories I've read and maybe you can see if any pique your interest?

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Love Story by Eric Segal

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks

Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

I Can't Think Straight by Shamim Sarif

Most of the other romances I read were a string of free Mills & Boons books that I could catch during 2016-2020 (don't even remember their names!). Some Wattpad stuff (DO NOT RECOMMEND)

However, during my wattpad days I did find a series that you might just enjoy

Storm & Silence series by Rob Thier (there are a few problematic things but overall enjoyable with the feisty heroine stuck up hero trope and I have NOT read it again so, after years, I don't know whether it aged well or not!)\

I've read quite a few solid stuff that I just don't remember - AND I WISH I DID!

But this is pretty much it - if anyone can recommend books please drop links or recs below!

Best,

Jalebi (life is going good)

Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it's full again. Slow droplets of you seep in through the night's soft caress. An aching pleasure that gives me no respite. Splits asunder, spilling crimson through my days. - Shamim Sarif

Check out lesfic by authors like Nicola Griffith, Gerri Hill, Jae, Karin Kallmaker, A.K. Larkwood, Malinda Lo, Arkady Martine, Shamim Sarif, Emily Skrutskie, Tasha Suri, Heather Walter, Sarah Waters, and Lee Winter. I think they have audiobooks of most if not all of their works.
