From Replay, out Monday. books2read.com/u/mZgVXp#fridaykiss#romancelandia#hockeyromance

Couple holding hands, as if in bed. Friday Kiss - try It’s just…we’re going fast.” I felt him nod. “I know we are, and honestly, I’m good with that. It feels to me more like we’re just starting from where we left off, you know? But if you need some time to figure out if this is what you want, I’ll try to pull back. Just don’t ghost me, okay?” He swallowed, and I knew I could hurt him. Badly.

This moment might be Sky (narrator) and Abraham in a nutshell. Basically Abraham thinks Sky is the coolest, most handsome man and Sky is confused but open to the idea. #FridayKiss

The #FridayKiss prompt is "try."

Mado took her time answering. “I don’t know if I remember how to tell the truth, if I ever knew. But I’ll try.”

Lady Isolda explains how she came to be the late-sovereign's wife. Can she heal from her trauma? And will she be able to welcome Lady Eustace fully into her life? Because You Asked is a spicy, sapphic romance that can be read as a stand-alone. www.booksbybennett.com

Because You Asked promo image - text: "They'll discover their desires were worth waiting for..." - booksbybennett.com
Text in image: “[I ] thought I’d try my hand at getting his attention. I never did learn how my mother managed to finagle invitations for us to such a fancy event, but, for some reason, the sovereign was taken with me, and I was betrothed a month later.” - #FridayKiss

This #FridayKiss@sheilkuroi.bsky.social

“I’d like to move it to the Ambassador’s Suite after it’s uncovered. Will it be heavy?” She shook her head. “Shouldn’t be. But you’ll probably want to deactivate it first. Portals, being sacred, are often obscured. In fact…” She knelt down next to him and pointed to the top row of symbols. “Swipe your fingers left to deactivate, and right to activate. As his Priest, it’s keyed to you, because the Portal is keyed to him.” She looked over at him. “Have you consummated your bond yet?” Micah reddened and looked down at the row. “I… I’m not sure.” “You’re not sure?!”. “Fine! I’ll try it!” Micah’s brow was furrowed as he reached out and swiped two fingers across the symbols. The view across the Portal remained unchanged. Micah sighed. “We’ll take care of it as soon as we can. I’ll go fetch a cloth to hang over it.” “Very well,” she replied, and stood. “If you have any problems, feel free to let me know.”
An elf with long blonde and brown-streaked hair and vitiligo on his face and arm smiles softly as he's embraced from behind by another elf, with long platinum hair and phantom antlers. There is not a shirt in sight.

I've never done the #fridaykiss thing before, but it's v cute and I've got my sapphic roller derby story coming out soon! the word was "try" (I am new, I don't know if I can have "trying")

cute sparkly roller skate graphic with text: “Come on,” Eleanor says, trying to pull Robin to her feet and not really succeeding. “Look, I can try to carry you upstairs, but I don’t want us going to A&E twice in one day. Stand up and let me put you to bed.” “Thought you didn’t like me that way,” Robin mutters. “I like you all the ways,” Eleanor says, wondering if that’s true and deciding to panic about it later. from blood sweat glitter, a roller derby romance!

#FridayKiss TRY 😣 "Not the first time we've dated the same man." Even if it rarely ended well. Wasn't that why he was 𝘁𝗿𝘆ing to keep his distance? Complete quote in image and alt text. #HidingBehindtheBottle#SFF#TransMC#WIP#queerauthor#romancelandia

Border: purple and orange blobs, dots, and lines. Background: a warm orange/brown textured layer across a silhouette of two men embracing. Text: #FridayKiss. Quote: Bas scooted closer. "Fi says it's all right for me to date you." Fi's forwardness, despite the tension between them, threw Zhyem. "Not the first time we've dated the same man." Even if it rarely ended well. Wasn't that why he was 𝘁𝗿𝘆ing to keep his distance?

Border: purple and orange blobs, dots, and lines. Background: A blurred, abstract image featuring a mix of earthy colours, including shades of green, brown, and hints of red and yellow, creating a soft, gradient effect. Text: #FridayKiss. Quote: “Wacht. Wait. Hold on.” Six sat. “You don’t have to cluck. But can I hold you?” The words bounced around Nif’s brain. It took a long time to make sense of them, but when he did, he didn’t hesitate to flash agreement. He’d never wanted to be held more.
