It's Cover Snark, but Just one Book
RECOMMENDED: Sweet Filthy Boy by Christina Lauren is $1.99! This is book one in the Wild Quartet series and I gave it an A. The entire series is on sale and I hope it lasts. I saw it listed as both KDDs from yesterday, but also as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale which lasts through the 31st. Fingers crossed!
NB: Images are back! Hooray! Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Karen H: I actually like this cover since I generally like men with muscles and the color scheme is different and pretty. But, the model’s left shoulder just looks like it has a weird growth. It’s probably the lighting but didn’t anybody look at it beforehand? Or does it look normal to everybody but me? Sarah: I didn’t think so at first glance, but … Continue reading Cover Snark: Babies in Space

Welcome back! March is coming to a close. Here’s what we’re reading right now: Lara: I’ve just started The Luckiest Lady in London by Sherry Thomas from 2013! It’s my first historical romance of hers so I’m excited for it. So far I’m enjoying it but I’m only one chapter in! Claudia: I just finished A Most Worthy Husband by Faye Delacour and really liked it, except the ending felt very rushed. Great working-class hero. … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? March 2026, Part Two
RECOMMENDED: A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant is $1.99! This book is often recommended in terms a sex-positive heroine. However, other readers found the heroine’s view of sex to be rather unromantic. I feel like this is one of the more divisive romances; people either seem to love it or hate it.
Do I know where my keys are? No. Do I remember what I was wearing yesterday, or what I did? Ha, not at all. Do I know without having to think about it what day or year it is? Absolutely not. Do I remember random lines from random ass trailers for movies I didn’t see? OF COURSE I DO. Today’s Friday Videos: random ass movie trailers that are still quotable. True story: I remembered this … Continue reading Friday Videos are Very Quotable Trailers
We are back in the time machine, heading to July 2000 to check out the Ads & Features from Romantic Times Magazine! We’re going to talk about Geocities websites, author research, and Hands. Lots of Hands. This one is a little spicy, y’all! At about 45 minutes in there’s an extended discussion of anal in romance fiction (as you do) and at about 50 minutes in, we discuss death, mortuary science, and make some allusions … Continue reading 711.

Winterblaze by Kristen Callihan is $1.99! This is book three in the Darkest London series. I love this series! However, it wasn’t my favorite for a couple reasons, namely the tropes here aren’t my bag. This is a second chance romance with an estranged married couple. This book is available elsewhere, though I’m only seeing the sale price at Amazon.

TW/CW: I have some startling news. I request that you hold on to your butt and possibly fetch your blood pressure medication if necessary. Harlequin is releasing a hardcover of Heated Rivalry in September – a special edition of a book that is doing moderately well right now in terms of sales and borrows. LOL. This is the cover. Y’all. Y’all, what is this. Are those…robots? Robots and some hockey sticks? I ranted about this … Continue reading The Heated Rivalry Hardcover is…Something
