This request comes from Anne. Thanks, Anne! I’m a successful self-made businesswoman. I love fiction with a romantic element about successful businesswomen, like classics by Judith Krantz and Barbara Taylor Bradford. But I have a hard time finding it. Too often businesswomen in romances are not that good at business (anxious, unsure about how to make the business work financially) relieved when a successful here comes to save them – or they are good at … Continue reading The Rec League: Competence Porn + Business Owners→
The Rose by Tiffany Reisz is $2.99! This is book two in The Godwicks series which is a mix of contemporary, fantasy, and erotic romance. The first book, The Red, was favorable reviewed here. I don’t think they need to be read in order, but correct me if I’m wrong.
It’s Wednesday! And you all get a special morning edition of Links! This past weekend, I spent time in a couple Alpine towns. I really love looking at the mountains. I think it’s because I grew up in Florida and it’s a very flat place. Here’s me being understandably overshadowed by some beautiful, snow-capped mountains. My brother couldn’t even get a good photo on his fancy camera because they were so bright. I’ll most likely … Continue reading Links: Bears, Up!, & More→
This HaBO request is from Susan, who is looking for this YA novel: Not sure I’ve all the details correct, but here goes: This was probably classified as YA and isn’t, strictly speaking, a romance. The teenage heroine’s mother is seriously (probably terminally) ill, so the heroine is on her own a lot. She meets a young man who turns out to be a vampire. His younger brother is also a vampire, but while the … Continue reading HaBO: Good & Evil Vampire Brothers→
RECOMMENDED: A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow is $2.99! This may be a leftover Kindle Daily Deal and could expire. I’m currently 6 hours ahead which throws KDD sales off for me – sorry! Tara gave this one an A-:
I’m a gigantic sucker for retellings, whether they’re of fairy tales, myths, or classic novels, and A Spindle Splintered might be my favourite so far. Its take on a multiverse feels fresh because there are no superheroes, only badass girls saving themselves.
When I was notified that NBC would be airing The Courtship, a reality dating show with Regency era costumes, manners and traditions, I was so excited I wanted to put it in my eyeballs immediately. Immediately. Now the first episode is finally out, and my cantankerous sixteen-year-old Siamese, Lady Pudding, and I are going to recap it. Lady Pudding is a woman of refinement and opinions, think Lady Danbury but spicier. The “heroine” of this season … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E1: Meet the Suitors→
This HaBO comes from A Traveller, who is looking for an older Mills & Boon romance. Content warning for the description below: Long time reader, first time HABO asker here! I ran through a gazillion Harlequins/Mills & Boons during the early 2000s (a lot of them were published in the 80s and 90s), and every so often I think of one and then go crazy trying to remember the name/author. This one starts with the … Continue reading HaBO: She Works as a Waitress at Her Ex’s Hotel→
The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid is $1.99! This fantasy debut was a previous Hide Your Wallet pick for me and I was definitely curious about the Hungarian history. The description also made me think there might be a romance. Have any of you read it?
Come look at some awe-inspiring covers with us! Cover art by Aykut Aydoğdu Carrie: Holy shit Amanda: There are so many tiny details like the freckles Tara: Yeah, that is gorgeous. I even like the shifting colours in the title. Sarah: That is a wow cover.

Do you ever read a Georgette Heyer novel and think, “Man, that was great but I wish it had magic and also, like, maybe some diversity in the main characters”? If so, do I have a book for you!
