My first book in five years is out now, in case anyone doesn’t know! Surly Roy Kent-ish ex-footballer hero. Curvy sunshiney ghostwriter heroine. Fake dating! Only one bed, only one car, only one kitchen counter! Get it now, from the links below!

Every time I watch The Mummy I think the same thing: Brendan Fraser was really just the whole package. Not only shockingly handsome, tall, well built and somehow not bland at the same time, but also full of charisma, natural and able to both seem vulnerable and throw a punch.

Look man. That Ted Bundy trailer? With him seeming like a sexy anti-hero? Almost a loveable rogue? They’ve done that on purpose. It’s on purpose, just like with You. They want to normalise/romanticise men doing terrible things, and they know that many women will buy into it too.

I keep saying this but the fact that Colin isn’t more overtly rugged and take charge, that he’s softer and kinder and essentially has the same friends to desperately wanting more journey that Pen has, is the actual reason he gives people the “ick”.

the bad boy archetype is so common that people can't imagine some find a down bad and desperate man sexier. colin bridgerton was on his knees, tears in his eyes, begging for a chance. that to me is the sexiest thing a man can do.

Think about it. He essentially has a journey more typically reserved for women onscreen. He writes to her and she doesn’t write back, and he openly admits that hurt him and he missed her. He slowly starts to realise he’s in love with his best friend. He offers to help her.

He likely murdered more than a hundred women. Then denied it. Blamed everyone and everything he could for it. Used promises of revealing more victims to stay his execution. He was the worst man to ever exist. And they’re trying to make him sexy.

He’s very kind and gentle and encouraging towards her. He “fixes” her. *She* asks for a kiss from *him*. HE is the one flummoxed by it. He is the one who then dreams about it, in a sexy, lushly romantic, idealised way. And then he begs her to consider him.

He does not for one second believe she feels the same way. He only hopes. When she touches him, he comes completely undone. And then when he does something sexual to her, it’s entirely to please her.

It’s really well done by the show. They went to great pains to subtly and not so subtly suggest that he doesn’t arrive at these feelings out of pity or anything like that, he arrives at them out of his own desperate need and his own deep valuing of Pen specifically.

That’s the reason why you have Pen read his journal and see he’s written that. To show that he’s already started to think he wants something more at the same time as he’s thinking wow I really miss Pen. He just hadn’t quite accepted it.

Gonna need everybody to really process the fact that they could literally show a picture or a video of her anywhere doing anything, super clearly. If she was actually available to do that.

That happy endings are trite, cheap, easy, rubbish. That too many good things happening in a piece of work means it’s not quality. Characters who are basically decent, or even very flawed but in a “minor” way, are boring.

He does genuinely look like he was meant to be a teenager in 1972 and somehow accidentally ended up in this era instead.

He looks like your mom’s one high school boyfriend who loved drunk driving that she still mentions every now and then

You might have seen it about, because today is the cover reveal tour for my next romcom, My Big Fat Fake Marriage! You like Clark Kent/Ted Lasso? Moustaches? Every night is only one bed? Sassy fun loving heroine with a secret nerdy kindness loving core? This one is for you!

Oh my god. Oh my days. Just had one of the most wonderful, incredible experiences of my life. I went to my Waterstones in Leeds, and my book was on. A table. Right in the door.

If you don’t understand the difference between what a genre Romance is and what newspapers and literary types deem romantic, prob shouldn’t jump into a conversation Romance authors are having.

This may not be the case for everyone, but it very much is for me: I do not care if authors want to write romance novels that pretend all this never happened.
