Time to announce the April Book Club Pick! Ready? The April pick is Family Man by Marie Sexton and Heidi Cullinan. Summary? Of course! Sometimes family chooses you. How does a man get to be forty without knowing whether he’s gay? That’s a question Vince Fierro is almost afraid to answer. If he is gay, it’ll be a problem for his big, fat Italian family. Still, after three failed marriages, he can’t help but wonder … Continue reading Sizzling Book Club Pick for April: Family Man by Marie Sexton and Heidi Cullinan →
I found this book a few weeks ago when I noticed that it was one of the top reviewed titles at All Romance, and I wondered what the reviewers liked about it. Most of the comments focused on the unique emotional journey of the protagonists, and boy howdy, were they right. Jonathan Kechter is a workaholic living a rather lonely life after a bad breakup. When he is set up on a blind date with … Continue reading Strawberries for Dessert, by Marie Sexton →
We here at the Hot Pink Palace of Bitchery are thrilled about yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling regarding marriage equality. The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage. In the words of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy: No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As … Continue reading The Bitches Celebrate Marriage Equality! →

This year's Romantic Times convention was, I thought, pretty spiffy. The crowd was larger and the hotel wasn't as ideal as some previous years, but the location in New Orleans made it extra special and the people who attend are always some of the very best. The lobby was LOUD, and if there was a line for something, people got in it and met new people (I did, anyway). One thing I find interesting is … Continue reading RT 2014: An Enormous Photo Recap, With Apologies To Your Server, Plus a Giveaway →

Jane and I discuss an email from a reader looking for historical recommendations. Plus, we find out what happens when an author emails us a pitch: Sarah does something terrible (unintentionally!) to Jane. This bit, which starts about about 9 minutes, is a bit of a spoiler, but the description is very intriguing. And we end with a pronunciation correction for Sarah (oops) and a glowing recommendation for a book – with a request for … Continue reading 74.
