Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Elizabeth, who is looking for this contemporary romance: The first romance I ever read featured a reporter hero (I’m 99% sure his name was Theo) and a reporter heroine who met while covering the royal wedding of Charles and Diana. I remember the heroine had fiery red hair and violet eyes. I think the hero was Greek and Theo was the shortened version of his name. This book was set in … Continue reading HaBO: Reporters Meet While Covering Royal Wedding →
The Princess Knight by G.A. Aiken is $2.99 and it’s part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals! This is book two in the Scarred Earth Saga. I loved and reviewed the first book and Lara reviewed this one, giving it a B:
The cast of characters EXPLODES in this book. Pay attention to each and every new character; they are all important. We pop into a lot of different POVs which can be a little dizzying, but adds beautifully to the immersive world building of it all.

OMG you guys, The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes is just one big basket of adorable and I never wanted it to end. This cozy historical romance follows the exploits of Marian, wife, or possibly (well, probably) widow to the Duke of Clare, and Rob, the highwayman who tries to blackmail her. This book is a sequel to The Queer Principles of Kit Webb and although I had no trouble following the story, I very … Continue reading The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian →
It’s a Monday! Can we interest you in some Cover Snark? From Amy: Is this cover snark worthy? or is it just another alien dude checking himself out? Sarah: Both? Both. Yes, both. Amanda: There are so many. Sarah: What are they looking for? Are they surprised? Is this a conversation? Amanda: Wait a sec, this wasn’t here a minute ago. Elyse: So. Shiny.

Welcome back, y’all! We’re up to twenty of these already! Thanks for sticking around! We have some non-fiction this time around. I feel like non-fiction is one of my weakest genres to recommend in, or maybe I just don’t get an opportunity to recommend them a lot of the time. There’s also some fantasy fiction recs mixed in. Have you recommended any books lately? Or perhaps you picked up a book based on a recent … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 20 →
The Essex Serpent is slow, pretty, slightly creepy, and sexy in that “I can’t have you so I’ll stare at you with my brooding, metaphorically piercing eyes instead of having sex” sort of way that some people despise and other people adore. My idea of pure happiness on this earthly plane is Claire Danes digging fossils out of cliffs while wearing trousers and a floppy hat, accompanied by Tom Hiddleston in a sweater, so I … Continue reading Series Review: The Essex Serpent →
Hey, everyone! It’s that time again! Please tell us what you’ve been reading and if you haven’t been reading anything, that’s okay too! Shana: I have a kindle unlimited trial and I’ve been burning through KU romances. My favorite so far is the short story Fall Into You by Georgina Kiersten. It’s a small town f/f about a chubby graphic designer whose childhood friend is now hot, butch and recently moved to town to open … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? June 2022, Part Two →
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. Trust me, it’s worth the $3! Shana just reviewed this one and gave it a Squee grade:
Many of the book’s themes are around friendship–loving a friend but hiding parts of yourself, learning to connect with other women, and the perils of competitive friendships. I loved A Lady for a Duke, it’s a must-read for historical romance fans looking for a new take on Regency friends-to-lovers.

Pudding, Duchess of Smackington, and I are here to recap the final two episodes of The Courtship. Pudding is being a typical teenager. She emerged from her “room” (under the loveseat) to scarf down her food and then immediately went back under. She’ll come out again later and stay up all night. The suitors play cards and discuss where they’re at with Nicole. We learn that after last week’s episode, Mr. Chapman stayed overnight with Nicole. … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E11&E12: The Finale →
