One weekend, Alisha Rai got married. Then, two weeks later, her new book came out. So let’s talk about all the things! We cover her wedding, the parties, and how part of her wedding was at a celebrity’s mansion (but we had no idea until the end). And of course, we talk about her newest book, Partners in Crime. We discuss portraying mental health struggles and coping mechanisms, as well as sequel bait, and writing … Continue reading 533. Partners in Crime: The Book and the Wedding with Alisha Rai →
RECOMMENDED: Opening Up by Lauren Dane is 99c! I love the covers of this entire series. This is the first book in the Ink & Chrome erotic contemporary series. Elyse gave the book an A-:
This book was incredibly sexy and often very funny. It made me duck out on the coworker I was traveling with: “I’d love to go to TGI Fridays with you, but PJ and Asa have a new leather cane they’ve been dying to try out and also I need to know how his weenus piercing feels without a condom, so I’m gonna just head up to my room, ‘kay, thanks.”

I made a bit a snafu at SBTB HQ and asked about a Rec League that we already ran (last September to be exact). But interestingly, we had some different suggestions than the previous time, so why not run it again and include some new, updated titles or ones we may have missed the first time. You can peep the original Rec League request from author Maria Vale here! Sarah: It has been far too … Continue reading The Rec League: More Environmentalists →

Anyone else feeling the SAD pangs yet? … Sarah shared this link with me and now … Continue reading Links: Recommendations, Nalini Singh, & More →

This guest review is from Aidee. Aidee recently graduated from law school, where romance novels provided a much needed break from reading court opinions. She started reading romance in high school, but isn’t quite sure which was her first romance read—Jean M. Auel, Fern Michaels, or something that she has completely forgotten by now. She loves reading, writing, chocolate, tea, and listening to music, although not necessarily in that order. The books she keeps thinking … Continue reading Guest Review: Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews →
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Sarah completely loved it:
First, yes, you should absolutely read this book immediately, if you haven’t already. There is so much happening in the conflict within each of the protagonists, between the protagonists, and around them and their allies and enemies, I can’t possibly discuss all of it, but please know: if you are a reader (and why else would you be here, right?) this book is a marvelous, intelligent, respectful, breathtaking treat for your brain.

This HaBO comes from Skye, who is looking for this historical romance: I read this book back in 2016 and I remember it had an audiobook. It’s about a guy who finds a missing heiress. In the beginning, he sees her coming down some stairs carrying a laundry basket or a basket with ribbons. She might have been in a marketplace. Much later on towards the end of the book, they have sex against a … Continue reading HaBO: Sexytimes Against a Jewelry Case →
