I can see this. I only read 1 star & 3 star reviews to give me an accurate picture of whether I’ll like the book.

Same. Since I had my baby I could barely get any reading time in. Having kindle on my iPhone has made it so that I can read again in the little lapses in between responsibilities

It really does mean a man with fair skin and dark hair. It was a term coined during the romantic period to describe men with fair skin and dark hair. During this era men with this combination started to be considered swoon worthy. All male leads in Jan Austin fit this description. The specific term was first used in writing at some point in the 1830s.

I wrote this in an answer to one of your comments but if you have TikTok follow an account books.with.lee

She’s a black woman who only recommends books with black authors and black characters. She has a ton of recommendations in all genres.

POC know what words are used to describe us and what words are used for white people. Talk, dark, and handsome is always a white man with brown eyes and dark hair.

In the fantasy genre you have Nalini Singh. All her books have POC as main characters and/or strong supporting characters. I can recall a couple of others but want to recommend only the ones written by POC. If you have TikTok follow books.with.lee . She is a black woman who recommends only books with black authors and black main characters. I’ve liked a lot of her recommendations.
