Tasha Wilde has spotted the perfect site for the Treats to Tempt You confectionery shop she’s planning to run with her best friend, Maisey. It’s the ideal size and location, right on the waterfront in Doubtless Bay, New Zealand. The only fly in the melted chocolate is Maisey’s brother, Kole. He wants the shop for his photography business, and he’s about to sign the lease.
Tasha and Kole Graham have trod the wafer-thin line between friends and enemies since they were teenagers. Privately, she acknowledges Kole has grown up into a fine figure of a man. Okay, to be honest, he’s so sexy he often dismantles the speech center of her brain. But he’s still the most irritating guy on Earth.
Kole tries to think of Tasha as just his sister’s best friend, but it’s getting harder and harder. Literally. And he’s having trouble hiding it. So when their friends suggest a bet with the shop as the prize, and it means he can get his hands on Tasha, he’s quick to agree. The Shakespearean-style scheme? To get the other person to fall in love with them. In eight days.
Both are confident their attraction is only physical. Both are going to get into trouble. But who will win the bet on Midsummer night?
Warning: Sultry and steamy, with rising temperatures. And the sub-tropical weather’s pretty hot too. Adults only.
What is more disturbing, the autistic spectrum individual who is unable to thrive and lashes out violently at the world, or the society of 99% neurotypical individuals who refuse to pass sensible and meaningful gun laws to prevent him from gaining possession of a semiautomatic weapon?
alternatively you could imagine a room full of tories who think of margaret thatcher as a feminist icon ‘cause it’s pm the same thing
right because an individual who’s cunning and ambitious, who strives to be their best and who’s loyal to their own, would make such a shit feminist. yep.
i am embarrassed by this post. also it made my head hurt.
…Except Slytherins are canonically prone to racism and classism and even if you disregard the fact that there is little to no canon evidence of true unwavering loyalty between them, particularly true unwavering loyalty that means sometimes thinking of others before themselves, “their own” seem to be a pretty narrow group of people i.e. Slytherins are a fairly good mirror of the kind of feminism that prioritises the needs of cishet white middle-class women while throwing women of colour and poor women and queer women under the bus, which, yeah, is an incredibly shit brand of feminism.
I am SO PLEASED that some people are correct about Slytherin. Slytherins are TORIES omg i know a lot of the fandom is from overseas but if you’re from the UK and you can’t see that you’re really missing the obvious.
clearly you dont give a flying shit about intersectionality if thats what you think of girls with anxiety also andromeda tonks????? existed???? so? glad 2 know u think tonks and slughorn didnt care about intersectionality but, say, pettigrew did. nice. Nice and quirrel was a ravenclaw and pettigrew was a gryffindor and basically the only house that didnt have villains was hufflepuff, which was the only house that wasn’t historically elitist. all three others have a history of discrimination and a ravenclaw feminist who values intelligence is much less likely to give a shit about a person with disability than one of any other houses or than you bc yr a piece of shit who perpetuates a culture of exclusion and ableism so!! and u make ppl feel excluded bc many people identify as being in certain houses so yr literally turning to certain women and going ‘im gonna equate u to nazis and conservatices bc i dont know what feminism is’ so ah good for u glad to know u dont think ur posts r triggering or exclusive in any way at all. realllly good to know what u think of people w anxiety too
