Happy Saturday and welcome to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’ve been kicking of August: Lara: I’m finally reading new-to-me books again! I read the truly bonkers Dark Restraint by Katee Robert and now I’m wading through A Werewolf’s Guide to Seducing a Vampire. I thought this one would have more bite to it than the others in the series, but we’ve lapsed into tweeness, alas. It had such promise as the vampire succubus is an … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2024, Part One →
Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez is $3.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and I believe Jimenez’s latest release. Tropes for this one include forced proximity and some no strings attached elements.

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! →

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.

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 →
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 →

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.
