In this episode, I sit down for cake and podcasting with Alisha Rai. In a prior interview in episode 229, we talked a lot about dating and romance – both the concept and the genre. In this episode, we take a deeper look at dating as a romance author. We discuss seducing men with dad jokes, and why so many guys are into telling you they’re kinky in their third or fourth text. We also … Continue reading 271. Dating as a Romance Author: A Conversation with Alisha Rai →

Between the Devil and the Duke by Kelly Bowen is $2.99! This is book three in the Season for Scandal series, but it can be read as a standalone. Readers really liked both main characters, though others felt the hero had a serious case of insta-love, or at the very least…insta-lust. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads.

This book was recently on sale, and I was instantly curious about the cast of characters who all work and live on or around a British Heritage Trust estate in Yorkshire. The people who live in or work in historic buildings are fascinating, I think; one of my favorite segments of a documentary titled Windsor Castle: A Royal Year was when the filmmakers followed the castle timekeeper as he walked all over the estate changing the … Continue reading Little Teashop of Horrors by Jane Lovering →
We have a rather interesting Rec League this week and I’m honestly surprised we haven’t received something similar earlier. Here’s the request from Ren: I would like to put out a request for romances with atheist heroes or heroines. I’m an atheist myself and I can never find that part of myself represented in genre fiction. If there’s an atheist character, by the end of the book they will invariably end up converting, and I’ll … Continue reading The Rec League: Atheist Characters in Romance →
November is here, and I’m already seeing holiday/Christmas commercials. It’s giving me some major anxiety. On the bright side, I’m basking in all the cute kiddie costume photos that are appearing on Twitter and Facebook. … NaNoWriMo has begun! To everyone participating, GO GO GO! I’m doing my first NaNo this year and I’m trying not to put so much pressure on myself.

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Crystal and she wants to find this contemporary romance. Trigger warning for abuse: I am trying to find the name of a book I read a few years ago. It was a modern day romance. It’s about a woman who is now working construction. She was severely beaten when she was a girl and ran away. She was saved/hired by her now boss. He taught her everything he knew about construction. … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Works in Construction →
Updated: Deal no longer valid.
RECOMMENDED: The Red by Tiffany Reisz is $1.19 at Amazon! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, though it doesn’t seem to be price matched at the moment. This earned a B+ grade from Elyse:
