Grab your earbuds for this one. Nancy C suggested this interview in the comments to a recent episodes, and I’d been eager to set one up as well because, well, several reasons. Today I’m talking with Thien-Kim Lam, founder and owner of the Bawdy Bookworms subscription box service, which pairs erotic romance with sex toys and accessories. Thien-Kim recently attended a trade show all about sex toys in Vermont, and brought samples and new products … Continue reading 273.

The Lady Travelers Guide to Scoundrels and Other Gentlemen by Victoria Alexander is 99c! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price matched. Readers were really into the plot, but mention that it takes a while to really get going. Have you read this one?
This Rec Leagues comes from our wonderful comments section on the site. Big thank you to Cerulean for the suggestion: The Amy Andrews “Playing by Her Rules” is very good, as is the next book in the series (focusing on a different couple): Playing it Cool. I actually like the second book better, but both are great. I really like reading books set outside the US and Georgian/Victorian England. I’ve enjoyed books from authors from/books … Continue reading The Rec League: Australian & New Zealand Romances
It’s mid-November and the Christmas cheer has begun its war against my curmudgeonly senses. It’s also the time where I have no concept of what day it is since it starts getting dark at 4pm now. Anyone else busting out their SAD lamps? … One of the neatest articles I’ve read in a while is the discussion of fictional religions over at the A.V. Club: The nameless, vague religion in Adventure Time is one … Continue reading Foodie Gifts, Romance Discussion, & More

Prudence by Gail Carriger is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched at most vendors. This book is the first book in her Custard Protocol series and Carrie gave it a B-:
The best and worst thing I could say about this series is that it’s very much like Carriger’s other series. It’s the worst thing in that there’s not a lot new in here except that it seems to be a series that gets us out of alternate universe England and into the rest of Empire. It’s the best thing because honestly Carriger’s world and style are just pure yummy candy. If you give me a five pound bag of M&M’s, it’s not like I’m going to get to the bottom and say, “Gosh darn it, this is still M&M’s!”
This HaBO is from Virginia, who’s stumped on this historical romance: I need help! I can’t remember this book I’ve read within the last two years. At first I thought it was Duke of Pleasure or Earls Just Want to Have Fun, but I re-read both and the scene I’m remembering is not in either of them. The scene goes like this: a lowborn woman, possibly a thief or a pickpocket, and an aristocratic man … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Lives in Attic Hidey-Hole

Lethal Lies by Rebecca Zanetti is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. This is book two in the Blood Brothers romantic suspense series. Some readers wished they felt more of a connection between the hero and heroine, while others loved the sense of action that complemented the romance.
This HaBO request comes from Suleikha, who’s searching for a romantic suspense: I cannot for the life of me remember the title and author of this book. I know it’s romantic suspense featuring lawyers. It may have been a Harlequin Intrigue. The heroine’s basically been butthurt for years that the hero rejected her article for a law review. When they actually start interacting long after law school, she’s hostile because of that incident. She even … Continue reading HaBO: Hero Rejected Heroine’s Law Article
Romeow and Juliet was brought to my attention during a recent edition of Cover Snark. While the front cover suggests that this is a romance between two cats, the back cover copy quickly sets us straight: Romeow and Juliet is the first in a cozy mystery series set on Madrona Island, a fictional island within the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State. As a fourth generation islander Caitlin Hart is struggling to make her … Continue reading Romeow and Juliet by Kathi Daley
