Welcome back to Links! We’re about a month out from Thanksgiving and I’m slowly working on my share of the menu. For the past couple years, we’ve done an “all sides” Thanksgiving, because I don’t want to bother with a turkey. It’s just two of us and even a breast would probably be too much. I also think sides are the best part of the holiday anyway. My partner is usually in charge of the … Continue reading Links: Birding, a New Romance Bookstore, & More →

I rather enjoyed the last third of A Lady Would Know Better. Granted, I read that last third of it at about 2AM while trapped in the bathroom (health problems) and while substantially hopped up on prescription painkillers (use only under care of a physician please; the opioid crisis is real). Is it a coincidence that this was the part I most enjoyed? I think not. The rest of the story suffered due to heroic … Continue reading A Lady Would Know Better by Emma Theriault →

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 →
