Between Never and Forever (The Hometown Heartless)

Brit Benson

She was the first rule I ever broke. She’ll be the last. In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw. Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day. Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night. I was ordered to avoid her. Lectured on her misdeeds. Forbidden from seeing her. But my need to protect her was innate. So natural I never questioned it. So visceral I couldn’t fight it. She was the first rule I ever broke, and it’s why I lost her the first time. Now, out of nowhere, there is Sav Loveless. World famous frontwoman for The Hometown Heartless, Hollywood’s newest up-and-coming film star, and my daughter’s idol. Her reputation for trouble precedes her, but the celebrity who sets foot in my small town is no longer a girl in need of protection. She’s a woman who has saved herself, and this time, it’s my life that’s falling apart. Maintaining the distance between us is imperative, but everything about her pulls at every part of me. My need to touch her clouds my logic. My need to have her, to own her, to love her. She’ll be the last rule I ever break, but this time, it will be to keep her. **** Between Never and Forever is an angsty and spicy standalone contemporary romance. It follows rockstar, single father, small town, and second chance tropes, and has a guaranteed HEA.

Smile...

Hello!

Tell me something that's made you smile recently.

I'm hoping that by reading lots of people's examples I will absorb the positivity into my own life at the moment!

It might be: A piece of good news A silly joke A fun card in a shop window A little win A day of sunshine...

Please share away :) Thanks, I can't wait to read them and get some secondary cheer!

We have stats! App update (4/30/26)

We have a very very exciting announcement: stats are live on the Pagebound app on iOS and Android! (web coming soon). Please make sure you're on the latest version of the app :)

This has been a long time coming as we've released smaller features to gather reading data: format tracking, page/minute totals, daily reading updates, and streaks. Now, you can see that data visualized on the Stats tab of your profile!

The top section shows your Monthly Stats, and the bottom section shows your Annual Stats. Next month, you will also see your Monthly & Yearly wrap-ups on this tab.

Royalty members have enhanced stats and extra graphs. If you're not Royalty and are curious to see the extra stats, head to a Royalty member's profile to check it out :)

This is just the beginning; we will be adding onto and improving stats, especially as we gather series and genre data. I am so thrilled to share this V1 with everyone now!

If you find your stats do not look correct, make sure all your data is filled in correctly:

You can edit your daily pages read & minutes listened by clicking the streak widget on your home page to access Reading History.
Edit format, total pages, and total minutes by clicking your Read Dates. On the last screen of the "edit read dates" flow, you can add/edit that info.

As a little bonus on the Reading History screen, you also see the pages read or minutes listened each day per book.

We hope you all enjoy this new facet of Pagebound! A big thank you to everyone for making this such a special community, and a special thank you to our Royalty members for making Pagebound possible with your support.

We'll be back tomorrow with some Readalong and Quest announcements!

Happy Reading, Jennifer + Lucy

Like This, But Funnier

Hallie Cantor

For fans of Dolly Alderton and HBO’s Hacks, a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud funny debut novel about faking it (and “making it”) as a writer in Hollywood. TV writer Caroline Neumann is thirty-four and mired in professional envy and self-hatred. Even Harry, her usually supportive therapist husband, thinks it’s time for her to press pause on her career ambitions and focus on getting pregnant, despite Caroline’s serious ambivalence about having children. When Caroline accidentally stumbles on Harry’s patient session notes and offhandedly mentions what she finds in a meeting with a producer, the momentum of Hollywood takes over. Before she knows it—and unbeknownst to Harry—Caroline finds herself pitching a TV show about the deepest, darkest secrets of her husband’s favorite patient, a woman known to Caroline only as the Teacher. Amid the indignities of the Hollywood development process, Caroline must balance her burning desire for professional validation against her own morality and the health of her marriage. And when Caroline forms a real-life relationship with Teacher herself, the lines between art and life begin to blur further, shaking up Caroline’s understanding of what it means to be the “likeable female protagonist” of her own life.

Cursed to be Queen

Sylvia Boss

He was supposed to be a myth... Ana never believed in monsters—until she met one. Dark. Large. Menacing. Hades is everything she feared… and nothing she expected. Trapped in his kingdom for a year, she can’t tell him why she’s there. She can’t leave either, or her sister dies. But the King of the Damned has no patience for unwelcome guests, and he’s determined to make her life a living hell to drive her out. She is meant to be his ruin... Hades has spent centuries in solitude, and he wants it to stay that way. The prophecy is clear—a mortal woman will be his undoing. When Ana steps through his gates, he knows she is the one. He should fear her. Destroy her. Instead, he wants her. The more he pushes her away, the deeper she pulls him in. And when their time draws to a close, can he let her go? Some prophecies are meant to be broken. Some monsters aren’t meant to be tamed.

I'm actually so stunned by this reading experience. This was the literal perfect blend of a Beauty and the Beast retelling and a Hades and Persephone reimagining, both of which happen to be my favorite things so to experience all those elements in a single book felt so surreal the entire time! Like I genuinely couldn't believe how tailor made this book felt for me😂 The author was great at layering so many different elements into their delivery: the mystery, the journey of discovery, the chemistry, the urgency as time was running out! I was obsessed with the reimagining of the classic wilting rose as a tattoo and how that played a role in the story! The imagery was absolutely flipping fantastic and felt so cinematic as the magic progressed in the unfolding scenes. Truly such a pleasant surprise! I hope more people end up discovering this gem😍
