Plus, this issue of the magazine and also Amanda both have terrific memories of RT 2015 in Dallas. Don’t miss the visual aids! WE GOT … Continue reading 633.

This Rec League came from Kim. Thanks, Kim! I just read Rachel Reid’s excellent m/m hockey romance Time to Shine, and am looking for more “golden retriever”-style MMCs. Can be any gender pairing, but my preference is m/f or m/m. If m/f, it should be a golden retriever MMC, not FMC. I think of the golden retriever hero as joyful/playful, extroverted, loyal, supportive of the other MC, physical/physically affectionate, and not especially book smart. I … Continue reading The Rec League: Golden Retriever Energy →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How is everyone?! Big news for me, as of Monday, I’m engaged! It’s very exciting. I’m recording the next RT Rewind with Sarah tomorrow and I’m sure I’ll talk all about that. There has been lots of champagne consumption since then and there’s something so particular about a champagne hangover headache, as my now fiancé has learned. I want to thank you all for your exercise suggestions. I know a … Continue reading Links: More Romance Bookstores, Knitting, & More →
RECOMMENDED: The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman by KJ Charles is $1.99! Carrie gave this one a B+:
The strengths of this book are in the balancing of conflict with humor and optimism, the rich characterizations, and the portrayal of life on the marsh, as well as a romance between two opposites. It’s entertaining, exciting, and immersive. While I wanted a little more from the ending, I enjoyed this book overall!

This guest review is from Crystal Anne! Crystal Anne with An E comes to us from a sunny clime, but prefers to remain a pale indoor cat. She enjoys reading, cross-stitching something nerdy, going to see live music, and playing video games. She works as an autism consultant by day, got a degree in information science for fun, and currently serves on her local library advisory board. … Okay, now that I have made sure … Continue reading The X-Files: Perihelion →
RECOMMENDED: My Season of Scandal by Julie Anne Long is $1.99! Lara reviewed this and gave it an A:
I sit here stunned. Yes, I have written this review twice. The first version was too overwrought because I was entirely overcome by this book. This is such a bracing, visceral story of deep thoughts and even deeper emotions that it left me wrung out.

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO comes from Rebecca, who wants to find this romance: I’m hoping the all-knowing Bitchery can help me track down a book I read a few years ago. The style is definitely Cassie Cole or Krista Wolf, but I’ve looked through their stuff and didn’t see it. Here’s what I remember: The heroes (can’t recall if there’s two or three) are park rangers who lead hikes into the Grand Canyon. The heroine runs some … Continue reading HaBO: Park Ranger Ménage →
