Oh Dear Readers, what can I possibly tell you about Hot Frosty that you don’t already know? That it has some fish out of water jokes? That it it takes place in a quirky small town? That romance wins in the end? You know all this. Either you like the Netflix versions of Hallmark Christmas movies or you do not. If you do not, then no amount of shirtless Dustin Mulligan will save you. If … Continue reading Movie Review: Hot Frosty
The Holiday Pleasures Bundle by Theresa Romain is 99c! This bundle features all four books in the Holiday Pleasures historical romance series, plus some bonus stories.

My guests this week are, in the words of my home vernacular, yinz n’at.

There is still time to sign up if you’re a member of the Patreon community! Head over to Patreon and you’ll find the link.
RECOMMENDED: Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Del. Elyse gave it a B- in a Lightning Review, saying it was good but not Kleypas-good:
Marrying Winterborne was a little bit of a disappointment because I expect SO MUCH from a Kleypas novel, but somehow also compulsively readable. It’s the direct sequel to Cold-Hearted Rake and best read after that book in order to provide context.

There are so many sales on so many things going on this week. There’s the long tail of Black Friday, then Cyber Monday and Small Tuesday and Giving Wednesday and keeping up with it makes me want to lie down in the dark. But I thought about it for a bit (in the dark of course) and in response I have one request for this week’s gift guide: Please name a book that makes a … Continue reading Holiday Gift Guide: Gifting Books and Linking Indies
Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha is $1.99! This is book one in Bound to Fire and Steel fantasy romance series. Book two is also on sale! Are you a fan of the series?
The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan is $2.24 at Amazon and $2.99 elsewhere! If you’ve been looking to try out Ryan’s steamy, angsty contemporaries, this isn’t a bad deal This is the first book in the series and I believe the first book has a bit of a cliffhanger.
One Burning Heart is the fourth, and I hope not the last, book in Elizabeth Kingston’s Welsh Blades series. I’ve loved this series since reading the first book nearly 10 years ago, so I was beyond excited when it was out. It is also the first book by Kingston since 2019 – and that’s “the before times” so it feels extra long! I reviewed Desire Lines that year. I one-clicked it and started reading this … Continue reading One Burning Heart by Elizabeth Kingston
