PT (on the crux)

As per usual, biked usual 6 minutes 🤗 Then walked with the walker before going to the parallel bars. Did some step ups then walked over cones. Ended the session doing stretches 🤗

Parallel bars 18.5 inches apart! 🤔 Good to know 😉

Exciting news 🗞!

My new Airex Foam Pad came in 👏🏽

I use it in PT to work on my standing balance. I figured I can do it more regularly and put it between my walker 😉

The pad creates a soft, squishy surface. I practice weight shifting on it.

This Scot Of Mine Readalong Reading Blog

Check-ins/Updates:

Before I begin:

Premise is around a curse. Clara and Hunt MacLarin enter a marriage of convenience, Clara started a runor/lie that ahe was pregnant 🤰 and Hunt’s family is cursed.

Monday: The Curse – Chapter 5

Chapters went by quickly 👏🏽 Premise was fun yet fairly predictable. Enemies to lovers twist, unexpected yet fun 😂 Felt like the 1st 5 chapter were a good orientation 👌🏼 

Tuesday: Chapters 6 – 10

Some thoughts 💭😂 1 day ahead now 👏🏽 Clara is taking some time to grow on me. She’s surrounded by people unopposed to deceit, so since she may be at fault, she isn’t alone. Hunt isn’t entirely innocent, he’s deceitful too.

All the Catriona scenes were interesting 🤔 Her ire was understandable but their arrangement made sense.

Using the staff for intel is a slippery slope. She potentially might learn too much.

Wednesday: Chapters 11 – 14

I’m glad the truth is out now 🤗 Understandably so, Hunt is mad 😡 I would be too!

But before that, the wedding happened fairly quickly 🤔 The way Hunt finds out was epic, it happened at the worst time, in the worst way. Again, I’ll bring it back 😂 Talk with Graham foreshadows Clara’s reception. Feel like that would be an additional conflict. Catriona’s role felt smaller than I anticipated, I have a feeling she’ll be back. Also feel she’s behind the fire 🔥 in some way|| Post is taking time (and re-edits to post correctly 😂)

Thursday: Chapters 15 – 18

Can’t say I didn’t see this coming. That wedding morning romp was hot 🥵 🔥 The accidents were signs before any pregnancy test could be taken. Situations were high stakes and adrenaline-filled. Nana’s reception of Clara was understandable, if someone I loved life was in danger, I’d be hostile too. She lost a husband and son to this curse after all. Wasn’t a fan of Hunt’s reaction to the pregnancy 🤰 though. “You killed me” puts ALL the blame on Clara. Not saying she’s faultless but she didn’t climb on herself. If she could, that’d be a nice trick 😉

Clara running away understandable, just bad luck to run into Bannessy. The reveal they are cousins 😂

Friday: Chapters 19 – Epilogue

End of book 📖

Chapters were an okay length! 👏🏽 Plot was very eventful and engaging 👏🏽

Curse broken but what of Marian? Cliffhanger! Still consider this an HEA?! Everything is god with Hunt-Clara, so satisfied in that aspect. Didn’t forsee Clara having difficulty giving birth, we’ve been so focused on Hunt. Glad Nana didn’t go to the dark side 🤗

#4 in The Rogue Files

Read: August 1, 2021

Star Rating (of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Enjoyment 🤗: 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Heat: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Content warnings: Death of a loved one, Curses

Prevalent Tropes: Pregnancy 🤰

Tropes I like! 😍

  1. Caregiving/sick bed
  2. Fake Dating 
  3. Friends to lovers
  4. Found family
  5. Single parent
  6. Bodyguard 
  7. Marriage of convenience 
  8. Disability rep
  9. Forced proximity 
  10. Wallflower 
  11. Bookish heroine
  12. Only 1 bed 🛏
  13. Teaching 🏫 
  14. Roadtrip Romance 

How it’s used…

To get out of an abusive engagement, Clara ruins herself and claims she is pregnant 🤰 out of wedlock. Hunt is part of the cursed MacLarin family, where he dies if he conceives a child.

Smutty times 😋:

  • 13: Wedding morning – they do everything 🔥
  • 18: Asked Clara to stay, in the drawing room sofa 😂
  • 22: Chaise to bed. Pregnant needy sex 

3-word Summary: Curse is real?!

Representation: Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

POV: 3rd person, Dual – Clara and Hunt

Thoughts 💭:

  • Thing we do to get out of a proposal
  • Curses – real or fake
  • Banding together in stressful situations
