This HaBO is from Maggie, who wants to track down this erotic historical paranormal romance: I’m desperately trying to find a book I bought at Barnes & Noble in Southern California between 2010 and 2015. Things I know: – The cover had a warning on it about the book being sexy. – The protagonist was just learning about her paranormal powers, and the love interest was trying to teach her. – The love interest lived … Continue reading HaBO: Possible Incubus and/or Succubus? →
I was mildly annoyed the whole time I was reading Nora Goes Off Script but I also enjoyed the heck out of it. I’m not sure how to grade a book that’s simultaneously pleasurable and grating. Nora is a single mom and a Hallmark-esque screenwriter who just had her big break—her depressing script detailing her recent divorce from her self-absorbed husband sold for a bunch of money. The book opens just as the movie crew … Continue reading Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan →
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?

From Syntha: I don’t know, but his head is proportionally wrong compared to his torso. Sarah: This is a real conundrum from Syntha – is that the model’s original head (minus the tusks, though I could be wrong about that). Elyse: I’m going to say no. The jaw and neck are both too long. Tara: TIL that orcs can be crossfitters, too. Sneezy: I hate puke green. He is beetle green, and somehow I still … Continue reading Cover Snark: We Have Llamas →

It’s April and time for our first Whatcha Reading of the month! Lara: I’ve fallen back into the comfort provided by a familiar series: Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter novels. I’ve got to be in the right frame of mind for them, but when I am, they hit the sweet spot. Sneezy: I’m re-reading the webtoon North x Northwest about a cross dressing pirate. It’s been on hiatus for a long ass time, and now the … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? April 2023, Part One →
RECOMMENDED: The Boxing Baroness by Minerva Spencer is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. Carrie reviewed this and gave it B+:
The more grounded in history the novel was, the more I liked it. For instance, I enjoyed seeing how Marianne trained every day. However, people with more patience for plot than I will love the same increasing complications that just made me want to take a nap. There’s something here for everyone and I look forward to the next book, The Dueling Duchess.

Amanda and I make a startling discovery at the start of this episode! Author Karelia Stetz-Waters collects clitoris images and research and we have so many questions. After we take a side trip into the French Olympic mascot design, and cliteracy, a term coined by Sophia Wallace. Then we talk about Karelia’s latest book, Behind the Scenes, which was one of Amanda’s favorite books. … Music: purple-planet.com
Storm Echo by Nalini Singh is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and book six in the Psy Changeling Trinity series. I think you could fill in the blanks and read it as a standalone, but it’s probably a richer experience to read the entire series in order.

This Rec League comes from Allison. Thanks, Allison! I am wondering if you can recommend any romance books featuring unions, labour organizing, or similar? Thanks! Tara: Hoosier Daddy by Ann McMan and Salem West has that! Amanda: Isn’t there a Milan with one? Sarah: Rose Lerner has one. I’m pretty sure Sweet Disorder is the one I’m thinking of, though that’s election organizing The Duchess War for sure. And of course North and South Doesn’t … Continue reading The Rec League: Unions & Labor Organizing →
