Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend is a funny, sweet variation on The Parent Trap. The plot is simple but the characters and their activities are uniformly delightful. This was a fun historical f/f romance with serious stakes that kept me wildly entertained until the last page. It’s the first in the Mischief and Matchmaking series. The plot, as I said, is super simple: Beth, who doesn’t want to get married, has one season … Continue reading Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma Alban →

This HaBO comes from Lucy, who wants to find this historical romance: It almost sounds like I’m combining West Ravenel (The Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas) and Benedict Chapman (Rescued from Ruin series by Elisa Braden), but medieval: She is the heiress or conquered prize of a castle or keep that has fallen to ruin after losing most residents to a or “The” plague. She’s independent and really good at running the place even with … Continue reading HaBO: Medieval, Post-Plague Romance →

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Dena: My mom is on an alien book kick and showed us this cover. Between the title and the cover, we were all cracking up. He’s SO BLUE. The horns don’t poke out of the hat, they just kind of are shoved in there, apparently. Sarah: First, the listing title must accompany the book: Whisked Away by the Alien: A Curvy Girl Hannukah Sci Fi Alien Romance Second, setting … Continue reading Cover Snark: Aliens Don’t Know the Difference Between a Spoon & a Whisk →

Carrie: Ana María and the Fox came out back in April but it has taken lo these many months for Shana and I to manage a review. I’m glad this book made it to the top of my TBR, because I found it to be romantic, educational, and entertaining. But I had problems with some plot stuff. The plot: Ana María and her two sisters, who are the subjects of two upcoming books, are sent … Continue reading Ana María and the Fox by Liana De la Rosa →
Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman is $2.99! This one has been recommended on several podcasts we’ve done with other romance authors. I remember this being shelved as fiction in some bookstores, so I’ve also been hesitant to pick it up as a romance. Any thoughts?
