It's Cover Snark, but Just one Book
Sweet on You by Carla de Guzman is $1.99! This is the first book in The Laneways series and de Guzman’s books I feel skew more new adult. A few of her titles have also been reviewed favorably on the site and this one in particular was mentioned in a Hide Your Wallet.
There was no recap last week because it was The Men Tell All special, which is two hours of men yelling over each other and I no longer have energy for that in my life. I did have it playing in the background and these were the only notable things that happened: Peter had Will served with papers on stage because he’s claiming will defamed his pizza business. 2. Martin maybe had a girlfriend while … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S18 E9: Horse Budget
This Rec League comes from Jessi. Thanks, Jessi! I know this might not be what other people are looking for right now, but I have been devouring post apocalyptic romances and I need more to feed the beast. So far, I’ve read everything by Kit Rocha, Claire Kent’s Last Light, Alysa Cole’s Radio Silence trilogy and most recently Kat Bostick’s Moonshine. I don’t care what type of apocalypse it is, and I really don’t need … Continue reading The Rec League: Post Apocalyptic Romance
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! First off, thank you for all your kind messages from last week! Sarah and I recently had our end of the year check-in. (She’s a wonderful boss, by the way, and I mean it.). She always asks me to come prepared with what things on the site I’ve enjoyed this year. I named this post because we’ve created such a nice little community in the comments and it’s been a … Continue reading Links: Dryers, Jorts, & More
RECOMMENDED: For the Love of April French by Penny Aimes is 99c! I didn’t review this one here, but I did for another site. I loved this one so much. It was so sweet and tender. I’d say this is more of a character-focused BDSM romance, than one that has a ton of BDSM scenes. I gave it a star over at Bookpage.

The A Court of Thorns and Roses Bundle by Sarah J. Maas is $5.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and so far, isn’t being price-matched. This collections books 1-3 in the series, plus a novella. I believe that’s the first full story arc. Normally, this bundle would retail for over $45, so this is a steal!
This HaBO is from Katherine, who is looking for this romantic fantasy: This one has been driving me crazy and I’ve been trying to find it for a year at least! I hope someone can help me out. Here is what I remember. Definitely a romantic, fantasy (or at least alternate world), probably YA book. Heroine is an orphan taken into an orphanage run by a seemingly kind noblewoman who treats the girls there as … Continue reading HaBO: Orphan Heroine Spies on Emperor
Carrie and Shana decided to start December off right with a midweek movie night. Also in attendance were Carrie’s daughter, a dog, and a cat. As consummate professionals, we prepared by reading this article about the realism, and lack thereof, of the movie. It’s been a long time since we’ve done a recap, and we are prepared. Shana was in charge of snacks. Bitches, let me tell you. If you ever have the chance to … Continue reading A Castle for Christmas
RECOMMENDED: Off the Clock by Roni Loren is $1.99! I read this one and gave it a B+. Content warnings here for childhood trauma and suicide, which are the major ones I remember. Here’s what I thought:
When I first heard about Off the Clock, I was pretty excited. I’m all for erotic romances with smart people and it’s nice to see non-billionaires. So I went into the book amped for some nerdy people getting down and dirty, but was pleasantly surprised that it was so much more than that – it was emotional and showed an interesting portrayal of individuals dealing with all manner of trauma and mental illness.
