This HaBO comes from Rita, who wants to find this romance: I’m hoping someone can help me identify this book I read about 10–11 years ago. I think it was originally published in the 1990s (can’t remember the exact date) and might have been a Harlequin or possibly a Silhouette title. Here’s what I recall: – Male lead (ML) is a single dad with a young daughter. – The child’s mother died in an accident, … Continue reading HaBO: Single Dad Marries Librarian for Custody →
Sometimes the only way for me to figure out if something is working or not is to do a post and test drive the code. So, uh. Hi! I think the transcript and the spoiler code are malfunctioning and alas, I can’t blame it on AWS. Any boodle, here’s a spoiler. That was my first “grown up tv show” and wow, did I enjoy some big hair and shoulder pads. I really thought that when … Continue reading Hello, I am Testing Some Code →
Welcome back! A short and sweet release week for us at SBTB HQ! We have a holiday romance making an appearance, horror, and a fae romance. Which releases are you excited for this week? Let us know in the comments!
Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage is $1.99! This is book four, which is the latest installment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series. This released earlier this year and I’m hoping the deal sticks for a little longer. I’ve heard the hero wears a cropped shirt in this one, which is right up my alley.

Content warnings for the series: Some pretty graphic violence, some questionable consent around bodily autonomy (but not by the characters we’re supposed to like). We’re dealing with immortal beings here who break ennui by doing ever more extreme things, both sexual and physical, so do be prepared for that. Don’t worry, the characters we’re supposed to like break free from this ennui through love and become ever more humane. … I’m not a huge fan … Continue reading Squee from the Keeper Shelf: Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter Series →

We’re going back to May 2016 to look at the Ads & Features in Romantic Times magazine. The kilts are kilting and the abs are ab-ing, and we’ve got some questions. How do we feel about the terms “book boyfriend” and “pre-con”? How much of the 2016 conference depended on Twitter to announce pop up signings and special limited time events? And do you remember how important Twitter was to a conference? How many different … Continue reading 689. RT Rewind: May 2016 Ads & Features →
When We Chased The Light by Emily Bleeker is $2.49! We had a guest review of this one by Lisa that ran over the summer. She gave it a B grade, where she notes that while a solid piece of fiction, it’s actually a continuation of a character introduced in a separate book. To me, this is so bizarre of the publisher, because there’s no mention that it’s part of a connected series on Goodreads or on retail sites.
