self note:
 
 
did i read that right? he slept with THOUSANDS of women?! omfg! this guy is the worst and so freaking gross 🤢 and this has the reformed manwhore trope.

yeah, i don't think any sane woman with self-respect and self-preservation should even look in the way of this walking std 🤮 they should run for the hills, like way way too far away from this hoe.

based on the two reviews i read 🤮


simplybookmad I remember reading the blurb for this and thought it sounded good then I read the tropes of reformed playboy, brother’s best friend and virgin heroine and I was like I’m out, not supporting another book with sexist double standards between the mcs and now reading that he slept with thousands of women I’m glad I avoided this book 🤢

i haven't stopped (so far) but i became too picky with books, i avoid stories with this trope like the plague 🤢


simplybookmad @Jen I know 😫 I really think this is killing my love of romance novels and also why I’m in the biggest reading slump of my life, even if I avoid the novels (which I do) it’s so depressing when I have to put a book I’ve been looking forward to on my avoid shelf because of the double standards such as manho x pining virgin 😫

i feel you on this, it's so hard to find books where the double standards aren't rampant. it's annoying to look forward to reading a new story only for it to be ruined by the tropes in it. especially tropes that weren't revealed in the marketing stuff but you only found out because someone spoiled it 🤧🥴

Kelly (the book hussy) Do you know that out of the hundreds books I’ve read I only came across one book with a promiscuous heroine. The author gave her an STD. How f’d up is that? None of the manwhore I’ve read….nope.

well that was utter crap, these kinds of fictional men should've gotten those stds with the way they fxck around, like it was their sole purpose in life 😤 sometimes i think female authors hate their own sex. why would they represent their fmcs like this and have to pair them with the most disgusting hoe? 🤦‍♀️


Casey Reads 🌸 Thousands? Why is every book like “he slept with the whole world and she was a virgin just waiting for him” 😂


message 15: by Céloise (new)

Céloise Omg you guys I looove the one I’m reading now, totally sexually active and free woman, and her new man is nothing but happy for her as long as it was all consensual. And it’s a historical pirate romance lol. It’s called In Like Flynn, do yourself a favor!

Amanda 💗 I literally just finished writing a review for a book like this. He bangs every tourist and she’s 26 and never been kissed because she salivates over him- for 9 years. I can’t with that.

based on the blurb he doesn't do repeats, since this is fiction it could be possible if he started when he was still a teenager, and he's older than the fmc 🥴🤷‍♀️
