To change things up a bit, I decided to do a pedicure instead of a manicure this week. This is an unnamed burgundy color that I got from Temu. It actually worked pretty well. Pedicure nail wraps are a lot harder to do than manicure nail wraps, not least because my pinky toe nails are really tiny, thanks to genes passed down by my Nana, whose feet I inherited, along with the hazel brown of my eye color. They don’t stay on unless you let your toenails grow out a little bit longer. But I’m going to be wearing flip flops, so I wanted something to make my feet look prettier. I’m a Pisces, so it’s all about the feet.
Today I listened to Scratch by Harley Wylde. I have been on a roll listening to her audiobooks lately, and this one didn’t disappoint. The main characters are Scratch, VP. of Devil’s Boneyard MC, and Clarity, a homeless woman who lives on the streets with her two year old son. The book is Safe, meaning no cheating or SA; prior SA is mentioned with no details given. Tropes include Age Gap (Wylde is VERY fond of the Age Gap trope), Damsel in Distress, Instalove, and Found Family, with an Adorable Moppet on the side. I do love the Instalove. It’s fun even though it’s not a reliable indicator of a realistic relationship, but to be real, I’m in this partly for the escapist fantasy factor. The book is mostly romantocentric; not a lot of other plot. But that’s okay. The characters are so charmingly written that it’s a pleasure to see them get together. 🌋🌋🌋🌋, with liberal use of the P word.
Umi Markkanen is once again the narrator. I love her voice acting skills. Plus, she is very clear and easy to understand and her voice itself is very pleasant. I could listen to her reciting the U.S. Constitution and find it interesting.
I recommend this audiobook if you want something relatively short that doesn’t skimp on the steam. And if you like lighter MC Romance.
I received a free copy of this audiobook. This is my honest-to-goodness opinion and these are my honest-to-goodness nails.
