Top Ten Tuesday: ~ Mainstream Popular Authors that I Still Have Not Read Theme ~ November 14th, 2023 @ArtsyReaderGirl #TTT

Join in the Top Ten Tuesday fun! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s theme is Mainstream Popular Authors that I Still Have Not Read (Submitted by Rissa) Some of these are older authors, but I have not read anything by them, nor do I see myself doing so in the future.

J.K. Rowling
Harper Lee
J.D. Salinger
Jodi Picoult
John Steinbeck
Jane Austen
Nicholas Sparks
Charles Dickens
Jojo Moyes
F. Scott Fitzgerald

What books did you find to match this theme? Have you read any of these books?

ONE MOMENT. TWO MASKS.
THREE CHASES INTO THE NIGHT.

They’re supposed to be enemies.

It takes one night with a masked man to change that all. They crave the next touch of the person they hate the most. Desperate for that next taste of the person they can’t stand. Waiting for that anonymous text message to accelerate their heartbeats. The thrill of the chase with the forbidden fruit is enough to blur the lines and the world around them.

The first problem? They both have girlfriends.
The worst problem? They’re stepbrothers.

Tropes:
-Step brothers
-Cheating (not between MMC’s)
-Enemies to lovers
-Forced proximity
-Primal
-Masks
-Dub/non-con
-Secret identity

❝ ❞ "But even God has weaknesses. She was mine."

🗨️ 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙍𝘽

When a new string of murders perfectly mirrors the signature of a serial killer who died in the `80s, investigators are stunned to find a thirty-five-year-old man who looks exactly like the long-dead butcher. He refuses to speak, offers no explanation, and the detectives call in Dr. Emily Beckett to break through his silence.

Emily craves answers. But as she digs into his fractured psyche, the line between doctor and patient blurs. What she believes is progress is just his influence sinking deeper into her own wounds. Her trauma tells her a monster like him might still be capable of loving someone like her.

She thinks she`s close to the truth behind the killings, but she couldn`t be further from it.

Zayne Mercer was never acting alone.

He is one of two twins made in the lab of the Halden Institute. And when he finally escapes and reunites with his brother, Emily learns the hardest truth:

Some monsters are born.

Some are made.

And some… are loved.

Hockey Romance Devlin Mafia Duet

🔗 Pre-Order on Amazon ➤ https://shorturl.at/7SFbm

💀Mafia
💀Alphahole MMC
💀Brother`s rival
💀Happy for now

One night.
Three lives lost.
Memories, poof, gone.

Everyone blames me—his friends, my best friend—all gone. I can’t remember what happened, but Xaden Devlin does.
He’s the devil wrapped in a beautiful package.
I`m a moth to his flame.
And he’s made it his mission to destroy me.
He’s the heir to the most feared family in town—cold, cruel, and carved from vengeance.
He calls me Tink, a cruel reminder that
“Fairies die when no one believes in them anymore.”
The more he taunts me, the more I see the truth in his eyes…
The truth about that night.
The truth about my family.
And most of all the truth about us.
Maybe the devil isn’t the monster after all.
Maybe I am.
