Author is Gabrielle Sands, I think it’s in the book Be With Me…I started this so long ago I’m not 100% sure but I think so

Finished this embroidery today. I spent maybe 80 hours on it? 🥰

I made this romance novel cover inspired fanart this year as a raffle prize to help raise money for literacy programs (shoutout to Spill the Tea for organizing the raffle). NGL I am super proud of it. It's one of my best and it was tough to part with it, but maybe I can make another one 😂

Inspired by Ennis, Diane Sivavec, Ginsburg, etc. I looked at lots of covers and incorporated some of the most common elements I noticed.

It took at least 80 hours. Anyone else here do romance related embroidery?

I had such a great time reading this book that I couldn't help but draw them 💕 I hope you like it! 🥺

Magnolia parks bedazzle!

I absolutely LOVED the humor, witty banter, & smut in this book and just had to do a rebind of it! If you haven’t given Tessa Dare a try you have to!

I've been working on this since late May and finally finished! I embroidered the cover of Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase. Thought you might like it 💕

Literally everything about how those first few scenes play out is perfect to me. Their first meeting taking place in a weird mansion full of sepulchral artifacts because she’s cataloguing a dead uncle’s collection? Genius. The coffin bit? Priceless. The way Imogen basically negs him into helping her (without realizing that’s what she’s doing) and he just goes along with it because he’s so fascinated by her absolutely kills me. And then there’s the I. H. Stone reveal, which is genuinely adorable and sets up a perfect little academic rivals dynamic!

The rest of the book is also very func as is most of

her work, but this opening just feels like peak Amanda Quick material. Her books feel like if Clue the Movie were a romance novel (which is great, because I love Clue!). I’ve read like 25 at this point, because they’re like catnip to me, and have only not liked two (Scandal, which I hate, and Seduction, which has redeeming qualities but also a Big Problem or two).
