I’m not even going to pretend that I picked this book up by chance. I had meant to read it last year when it came out, but didn’t. I don’t know why. I don’t have a good reason. Post-Heated Rivalry TV show obsession, I remembered I had this novel waiting for me on my Kindle. I started it last night when I got in bed. I read it while I was pumping milk in the … Continue reading The Shots You Take by Rachel Reid
Well. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m not just talking Shane on Ilya’s dick. Just over a month ago, Heated Rivalry slammed into our collective ids like a Texas-sized asteroid. To call it a hit might be an understatement. It’s a phenomenon. Before episode 3 aired, The Onion wrote a satirical explainer for it, which is possibly the clearest sign that you’ve arrived. I have never seen a show of any kind, much less … Continue reading Heated Rivalry Season 1, Episode 6 Recap: Come On, We’ve Got Bad Things to Do

Here’s my recap of episode 4 of Heated Rivalry: God these stupid horny boys, they’re so … Continue reading Heated Rivalry, Season 1, Episode 4 Recap: It’s the Tuna Meltdown
So right now I have a number of non-romance community friends coming up to me and saying stuff like: “Oh hey sounds like some hockey fic finally made it onto TV, huh?” “Yo Candy have you heard of the gay hockey romance TV show?” “How excited are you about the gay hockey smut on TV?” “Candy why is your entire Tumblr dashboard filled with naked asses?” To which I say: excuse me, these are not … Continue reading Heated Rivalry: The Unbearable Lightness of Having a Dump-Truck Ass

Welcome to Wednesday! Tonight, I’ll be at Lovestruck Books to celebrate Katie Sturino’s debut, Sunny Side Up. Honestly, so nervous to be in conversation with her, as I see Katie as a real BFD. (Big fuckin’ deal.) If you happened to grab tickets, please come up and say hi after the event. Also…how about these heatwaves? … The McNally Jackson Seaport location is hosting a fantastic panel on cowboy romances on July 16th. The panel includes … Continue reading Links: Adaptation News, Cover Songs, & More
