Love in the Time of Scandal by Caroline Linden is $1.99! This is a historical romance and was mentioned on a previous podcast with Redheadedgirl, who used this book as a palate cleanser after reading Grey. This has a marriage of convenience element to it, and readers loved watching the hero and heroine come to terms with their arrangement.

This Rec League request was sent into us by Elena. Thanks, Elena! I want romances where the heroine is the one who is dark, brooding, and emo instead of the hero. And ideas? Sarah: Ooooooh.

We also have a Books for Your Inner Goth Rec League but those … Continue reading The Rec League: Broody Heroines →

An ambitious beauty seeking a spot among the elite is thwarted by a most disruptive gentleman in Cecilia Grant’s witty, elegant, and exquisitely sensual novel.

I decided to review Douglas: Lord of Heartache because my hubby’s name is Doug and I thought calling him Douglas: Lord of Heartache would be hilarious. He was not as entertained as I was. However! This book is more than just a goofy term of endearment. It is FANTASTIC. I had to stop taking notes because I was highlighting every other page and squeeing over it and the book was taking forever to read. In … Continue reading Douglas: Lord of Heartache by Grace Burrowes →
