This HaBO comes from Mehreen, who is searching for this romance: Okay, so I read this book quite some time ago. I think it was published pre-2022 or 2020. It’s adult erotica and its dark. And the fact that I cant remember its name is driving me wild. The heroine meets a guy in a gallery or a museum of some sort and she thinks he’s quite handsome and they have a nice chat. They … Continue reading HaBO: Captor/Captive Romance Where They Meet at a Museum →

Welcome back, everyone! Wow, we are quickly closing in on 100 of these! I can hardly believe it. This time, I have an even split of fiction and non-fiction. All are quite different from one another. Have you received any good book recs lately? Share them in the comments!
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re wrapping up May: Elyse: I just started This Monster of Mine. The author said the hero was inspired by Ben Barnes as the Darkling so … Claudia: I’m struggling with the new Susanna Kearsley book, The King’s Messenger. It’s told from the perspectives of multiple characters and to me it just feels jarring, like I don’t get to know any of them. Amanda: What a coincidence, I … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?

A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley is $1.99! This is book two in the Glimmer Falls series, which didn’t work for me as I prefer my paranormal romances to be a little darker. The heroine is a gym rat witch and the hero is a snarky demon with amnesia.

I could write about stereotypes about Italians – we aren’t all in the mob! Some of us are freelance writers! But … Continue reading Movie Review: Another Simple Favor →
