Oooooh, folks, if you have ever thought, “I’d like a book about Pre-Code Hollywood, please, but make it queer, add magic and a dollop of horror, and have the main character be a Chinese-American lesbian who stars in monster movies as a killer mermaid,” then first of all I would say, “Wow, that’s very specific!” and then I would say, “Luckily here is the book RIGHT HERE!” because Siren Queen is pretty amazing. Our heroine, … Continue reading Siren Queen by Nghi Vo →
Wolf Rain by Nalini Singh is $2.99! This is part of Psy-Changeling Trinity series and is book three. Aarya wrote a guest post way back when about how much she was anticipating this one. I’m pretty sure it’s best to read these in order, but definitely sound off in the comments.

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Mathilde and is hoping to track down this older title: I hope you can help me with finding a story I read 15 years ago, in a Danish print. It came in a magazine layout, so it was probably printed in the late 80s/90s. It is about a young female artist that works as a cleaner in a New York office. She finds a scrap of paper while she cleans up … Continue reading HaBO: Artist Uses Coveted Paper Scrap in Her Latest Project →
RECOMMENDED: The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan is $1.99! Ellen gave this one a B+:
I found The Intimacy Experiment to be a very strong entry in the annals of “sexy ice queen melts for beta hero and beta hero only” romance. The dialogue is excellent when it’s funny, when it’s serious, and when it’s tender.

Good Monday morning (or wherever it is in your part of the world)! It’s time for some Cover Snark. From Pam G: So. My question is: Why does this man have a porthole in his chest, or has Mr Vampy been sunbathing with a magnifying glass between the moobs? Also, what are those things parked behind the title on the right? Poker chips? Glasses of eggnog? I really do not get Tara: So I expanded … Continue reading Cover Snark: Bitchery Submissions →
Bombshell by Sarah MacLean is $2.99! This is the first book in a new series. Elyse gave it a B-:
Objectively I can look at this book and say that some readers may have an issue with how much time spent on the girl-gang scenes versus the romance, but also ONE OF THEM SPECIALIZES IN EXPLOSIONS. I think part of this imbalance is to set up the rest of the series, but the gang’s quest for justice was very heisty and fun.

To Catch an Earl is a fun, fast-paced read with lots of sexual tension and capers a-plenty. It’s been one of my favorite books so far this year and I highly recommend it.

It has been a week, also a month, a few years, and everything is a lot. I asked the reviewer team to share some of their favorite serotonin-boosting happy places online, from Instagram feeds to YouTube Channels to physical locations we love. My latest online happy place is Cloud Gardener UK on YouTube. Jason Williams lives on an 18th floor apartment in Manchester and has the most incredible balcony garden. He was recently accepted into the … Continue reading Happy Places to Boost Your Serotonin →
RECOMMENDED: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang is $1.99! I’m jealous of those who get to read this for the first time. We had a wonderful guest squee of this and it was my favorite read of 2018:
I truly loved this book. Loved. It made me feel like a champagne bubble – all fizzy and light. When I think of all the magical feelings romance gives its readers, I will forever think of this book.
