627. RT Rewind: October 1999 Reviews!
We have a special guest! Alison, aka Fashionably Evil, won our Romancing the Vote auction to co-host this round of RT Rewind with us! Congratulations!! Alison picked our issue, October 1999, and wow, it’s just as weird as we’d hoped. And, as part of the auction, we offered a midroll ad, which we typically don’t run. Alison chose to use her midroll to promote a website we love and admire, Scarleteen.com. We start with a … Continue reading 627. RT Rewind: October 1999 Reviews!

A Couple of Foodie Romances
RECOMMENDED: The Duke Who Didn’t by Courtney Milan is 99c! Apologies if this one is a leftover sale from the weekend. Catherine gave this a squee grade:
The Duke Who Didn’t was always going to be a book that made me happy. Humour, food, and a gentle hero who just wants the heroine to be less stressed are a pretty good formula for getting onto my keeper shelf.
The Rec League: Olympics
We did a Rec League on Winter Olympics back in 2018, but some of y’all might be in the mood for an updated list with an inclusion of summer sports. Sarah: Cleat Cute! A lot of coach books are popping into my head, like Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein – former athletes not current. Elyse: Yeah, it’s about an Olympic gymnast hopeful who is trying to move on after not making the cut. Sarah: … Continue reading The Rec League: Olympics
Links: Embroidery, Dragons, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I am dragging today, so as you’re reading this, I’m probably brewing an afternoon cup of coffee on this somewhat dreary New England day. My house is also staggeringly devoid of a little biscuit or treat to munch on while drinking. A shame! Do you have a favorite coffee or tea paring? I love hearing about people’s food rituals, especially for more soothing meals or snacks. … Bree Bridges of … Continue reading Links: Embroidery, Dragons, & More

Dark Restraint by Katee Robert
CW: I’m going to include the entire note from the start of the book: “Dark Restraint is an occasionally dark and very spicy book that contains abortion (off-page, historical), elements of dubious consent, non-consenual drugging, biting without prior negotiation/conversation, guns, violence, blood, child abuse and assault (historical, off-page, referenced briefly).” Gentle reader, this is a dark romance; the darkest of the series. I am, in fact, a very gentle reader and so for me this … Continue reading Dark Restraint by Katee Robert

Accidentally in Love by Danielle Jackson is $1.99! What a fun cover! I believe this can work find as a standalone, but is technically book two in the Buxom Budoir series.

HaBO: Fake Dating for a Foster
This HaBO comes from Austin, who wants to find this romance: I’m looking for a contemporary romance book about two strangers who pretend to date to help a young girl in a bad foster care situation. The hero has a lot of trauma around physical touch and the heroine helps him heal. I believe he owned a tattoo shop or something and the little girl runs into it as she is running away from her … Continue reading HaBO: Fake Dating for a Foster
