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.
