Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
This HaBO is from Nicola, who wants to find this series: I’ve been trying to find this book for about ten years since our library updated their internal system and cleared my access to loan history before 2016. There are for sure two books in this series, and I think only two. The first one has the heroine move next door to an Earl (possibly other nobleman). As part of the opening he wakes up … Continue reading HaBO: Pink and Gold Carriage

Welcome back to Cover Snark! Sarah: What the hell. Kiki: No, thank you. I don’t want it. Sarah: Who is designing these covers. Like what the ever loving crap Are they trying to be like Indies?

It’s the first Whatcha Reading in July. Here’s how we’re kicking off the month: Lara: I’ve just started Bald-Faced Liar by Victoria Helen Stone. I’m only a chapter or so in, but I’m enjoying it so far. Will report back! Amanda: I’m happy to report I read four books in a week. WHO AM I?! Most of them have been rather middling dark romances. For a change of pace, I realized I never finished the … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? July 2025, Part One
RECOMMENDED: Rebel by Beverly Jenkins is $1.99! Claudia wrote a guest review for this one before coming onboard. She gave it a B+:
One of the greatest joys of reading this book was seeing Val reconnecting with her inner hellion, and starting to believe she too could experience a great love.
Danielle Allen is the author of 55 books, including the new release Plus Size Player, part of the Curve series alongside Curvy Girl Summer, and Big Girl Blitz. And the player, as you’ll find out, is the heroine. The trilogy focuses on three best friends, and so we talk about friendship, loyalty, and about centering fat Black women as romance heroines. Danielle has also written contemporaries inspired by Poe stories, so of course we talk … Continue reading 675. Celebrating Confident Fat Black Women with Danielle Allen
Temple of Swoon by Jo Segura is $1.99! I think this is a standalone, but might be related to Segura’s debut Raiders of the Lost Heart.
I’ll Have What He’s Having is a sweet m/m romance that is cosy and chill but marred by an excess of mopiness towards the end. The worst thing I can say about this book is that it made me super hungry and that the minute I finished it I forgot all about it. It was pleasant and solidly written (barring too much repetition) but not especially memorable. Farzan is a great cook, a skill he … Continue reading I’ll Have What He’s Having by Adib Khorram
