Spellbound at Pemberley by Abigail Reynolds is $2.49 at Amazon! I thought this might appeal to the Bitchery as there is a magical Darcy. And also the description mentions dragons!
Book Review
Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert
I’m having a bit of a tryst with Katee Robert books lately and this one did not disappoint. After the events of Hunt on Dark Waters which I reviewed, I was desperate for what promised to be an epic sequel. In book one, we are introduced to Lizzie, a truly fearsome vampire. At the start of book one, Evelyn (the heroine of book one) steals Lizzie’s family jewels and disappears into Threshold, a fantastical place between … Continue reading Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert
Cover Snark: Pecs on Pecs on Pecs
It’s Cover Snark time and upon reflection, there is clearly a theme. From Pam G: I’m killin’ in the flame, just killin’ in the flame, What a glo-o-o-orious feeling, I’m gassy again My farts are azure, so blue down below My sword isn’t stuck, and I’m ready to glow And can I just mention the inspired fashion statement of attending a paintball tournament in your grandma’s boiled wool jacket and Uncle Willie’s clip-on tie. Must … Continue reading Cover Snark: Pecs on Pecs on Pecs
Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 65
Welcome back, everyone! This edition of Get Rec’d has mostly recommendations that I’ve received elsewhere and not ones that I’ve given.

Never Rescue a Rogue by Virginia Heath is $2.99! This is book two in The Merriwell Sisters series. I believe I’ve seen some good comments about this series, but for the most part, it seems to have flown under the radar.
Whatcha Reading? May 2024, Part One
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! It’s our first WR post of May 2024. Here’s what we’re reading at SBTB HQ: Lara: Shana inspired me with an idea to get out of a reading slump. I’ve returned to a series that is totally different to what I had been trying to read: GA Aiken’s dragon series. I’m currently devouring How to Drive a Dragon Crazy and it’s a bloodthirsty, lusty adventure. Finally I can settle into … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? May 2024, Part One

Highlights from Today’s Kindle Daily Deals
RECOMMENDED: Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco is $3.99! I enjoyed this one and it reminded me a lot of sexy, early 2000s paranormal romances (which may or may not be your thing). I gave it a B+:
Throne of the Fallen is a “yes, and…” sort of book that you just have to lean into, which I happily did. It’s extremely cliched and tropey, and I’d eat this nonsense for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Lightning Review
Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary
I am no stranger to m/m hockey romances and I’ve reviewed a few here. This one has been on my TBR for a while and my library hold finally came in yesterday. Yes, I read it that quickly, folks. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I devoured it. Ezekiel Boehm, or Zeke as he is more commonly known, is a gym teacher at a relatively posh private school. (The school is a Quaker … Continue reading Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary
