Laine and Meg love Lady Danbury and debate the relative merits of her grandson.
-
Once Upon a Winter's Eve by Tessa Dare
21 december 2020 · 21 min
Is this novella ridiculous? Yes. Is is Christmasy? Not really. Did we like it? You bet we did.
-
Tarnished Knight by Bec McMaster
18 december 2020 · 33 min
Tis the season for Christmas novellas. Meg and Laine disagree about how Christmasy this one is, but both thought it was a fun expansion of the London Steampunk universe if you're into sexy baths.
-
When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn
15 december 2020 · 26 min
Julia Quinn out does herself with this one. This is both her angstiest and sexiest book in the Bridgertons series. Meg feels this one deeply and Laine has no soul.
-
To Sir Phillip with Love by Julia Quinn
15 december 2020 · 36 min
Laine and Meg talk about when kids become a trope, the inherent sexiness of celibacy, and Laine fangirls over Julie Andrews.
-
A Wallflower Christmas by Lisa Kleypas
15 december 2020 · 29 min
Laine and Meg are joined by the Lit Wallflowers to dive into The Wallflower Christmas novella! The main couple here is an afterthought, so much so that the heroine isn't even mentioned on the jacket. That said, if you love the wallflowers (especially Marcus and Sebastian) this is a very rewarding trip down memory lane. They even have a proper Christmas tree! Lees meer
-
When a Rogue Meets His Match by Elizabeth Hoyt
10 december 2020 · 42 min
Hoyt's new release is a relatively low-angst, high-lust tale that checks a whole lot of our boxes: married early in the text, competency porn, and baths. We really enjoyed this one!
-
Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
9 december 2020 · 34 min
Colin Bridgerton is the literal best.
-
An Offer from a Gentleman by Julia Quinn
9 december 2020 · 29 min
Benedict Bridgerton is the literal worst.
-
How to Catch a Queen by Alyssa Cole
8 december 2020 · 40 min
Alyssa Cole kicks off a new series in a familiar universe with this fun novel about an ambitious woman and an overburdened and unprepared king. Some things were a bit of a stretch for our imaginations, but when creative hallway sex is included in that you know we're on board. Lees meer
-
Ten Things I Hate About the Duke by Loretta Chase
3 december 2020 · 33 min
Only Loretta Chase could convince us waiting until the wedding night can be sexy. His Grace with the Angel Face has to work for it, but the result was the perfect book.
-
The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
1 december 2020 · 35 min
Meg and Laine talk about bee stings and Colin Bridgerton. Meg says "coitus" a lot.
-
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn
1 december 2020 · 39 min
Laine and Meg talk about what a difference 20 years makes, characters who maybe shouldn't have ended up together, and wondering how an adaptation of this will even work.
-
Shadow and Bone Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
1 december 2020 · 27 min
Meg and Laine debate what makes a Young Adult book and celebrate the moody mentor being treated like the scum he is rather than a romantic hero.
-
Lord Dashwood Missed Out by Tessa Dare
26 november 2020 · 21 min
This novella is an exceedingly cute story about childhood companions who have a falling out and resolve it by getting snowed in together. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it's extremely adorable. The only negative is a B-plot that takes up half of the pages. Lees meer
-
Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams
19 november 2020 · 24 min
Both of the main characters in this book have a dead parent. Unfortunately, their past trauma takes precedence over the romance. This isn't the fun successor to the first two books in the series we were expecting, but if you're into angst you'll probably like this. Lees meer
-
Last Night's Scandal by Loretta Chase
17 november 2020 · 36 min
The fifth and final Carsington book. We're both a little sad to be done with the series because it's Just. So. Good. He's an explorer, she's a woman who can't abide by society's rules, and they're stuck in a castle together. It's basically perfect, and very, very sexy. Lees meer
-
A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem by Manda Collins
13 november 2020 · 40 min
Laine and Meg like good guys working for corrupt institutions and the women who seek to broaden their world views. We also would have liked some train sex.
-
Claiming the Duchess by Sherry Thomas
9 november 2020 · 16 min
Laine and Meg enjoyed this short flashback to how two characters from "Beguiling the Beauty" first met. We were left wanting more, but this is a fun and free add on to a good book.
-
The Sum of All Kisses by Julia Quinn
5 november 2020 · 33 min
Meg and Laine both really liked reading about these enemies coming around to one another while forced to attend double weddings and resisting their attraction. Sexy limps are all the rage.
-
The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller
30 oktober 2020 · 35 min
The Widow of Rose House is a gilded age ghost story/romance with a perfect hero. We both had some (different) issues with the ghost plot, but none with the romance unless you count wanting more of it as a problem. We recommend this book, especially if you're looking for a seasonally appropriate romance. Lees meer
-
Dangerous by Amanda Quick
27 oktober 2020 · 36 min
The first third of this book has a rich cast, hilarious duel plot lines, and a flirtatious couple being compromised which was all pretty great. The back end of the book is less interesting and a lot more formulaic. Worth a read if you know you love Quick. Lees meer
-
Be Mine Tonight by Kathryn Smith
20 oktober 2020 · 35 min
This book mixes the lore of Arthur with the origin of vampires in a very cool way, and has a fun and sexy main couple. The only BIG downer is that she's dying of cancer and you really can't forget it.
-
Pandora's Bottle by Eileen Wilks
15 oktober 2020 · 19 min
Pandora's Bottle is a magical take on the straight-laced guy with a wild side trope with a plot that's mostly spoiled by the book jacket. Cute concepts that could've used some extra pages to develop and an editor catching problematic language.
-
Tangled Dreams by Lori Foster
12 oktober 2020 · 23 min
We continue our Halloween reads with Tangled Dreams, where ghosts enable kinky mind reading sex to facilitate their ability to move on. Too bad consent and consistent characterization were in such short supply.
-
Murder on Cold Street by Sherry Thomas
8 oktober 2020 · 33 min
The fifth meeting of the Lord Ingram appreciation society has officially convened. We do leave room to talk about well crafted mysteries, amazing character development, and the fact that were both (sigh) a little tired of Moriarty.
-
Bridal Jitters by Jayne Castle
5 oktober 2020 · 25 min
This novella introduces a lot of sci-fi world building into a a fairly short novella, but still manages to squeeze in a fun relationship dynamic with a Halloween hookup.
-
An Irresistible Force by Rosanna Leo
2 oktober 2020 · 39 min
The main characters in this book are very cute and their flirtatious banter is excellent. Important discussions were had about bullying and working through issues, but we mostly wanted to keep reading about the flirting in the Canadian wilderness.
-
Man in the Mirror by Julie Beard
29 september 2020 · 21 min
Katie can't commit to men or a profession until she's sent back in time to meet a dude in King Arthur's court who is the ancestor of the dude she's supposed to marry. The dude she is supposed to marry is only on like 10 pages.
-
The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan
25 september 2020 · 42 min
The best ever execution of "only one room at the inn" plus a set-up we've never seen before in a romance novel? Yes, please. We spend this episode gushing about how perfectly this book handles some serious topics, which can be misleading as this book oozes charm and fun on every page. Read it! Lees meer
-
Not Quite a Lady by Loretta Chase
22 september 2020 · 36 min
The final book about the Carsington Brothers has the villanous interludes of Miss Wonderful, a potential bride from Lord Perfect, and the money of Daphne in Mr. Impossible. While we find this plot the weakest, it's also the most explicit so do with that what you will. Lees meer
-
Do You Want to Start a Scandal? by Tessa Dare
17 september 2020 · 22 min
Tessa Dare writes very sexy books, but for a thirty-something gentleman/spy, Piers fell rather short in the emotional maturity department. His emotional issues are mostly forgiveable because the house party investigation shenanigans make for a fun read! Lees meer
-
Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare
14 september 2020 · 25 min
Laine and Meg thought this book was sexy. Like... Really sexy. Clio is a badass who is finally asking for what she wants and deserves and Rafe is pining for her more than ever. We were already hooked and then he did this thing to her hand...
-
When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare
10 september 2020 · 22 min
Meg and Laine talk about sexy respect, sexing lobsters, and sexy Scots.
-
Romancing the Duke by Tessa Dare
7 september 2020 · 25 min
Izzy has a way with words but instead of spinning tales she spins a reclusive Duke into her bed. This wasn't our favorite Tessa Dare book, but we had a good time reading and talking about it.
-
A Night Like This by Julia Quinn
4 september 2020 · 24 min
Laine and Meg don't find stalking romantic and require more sexual tension than this book provides to look past a woman driven by trauma and a man who falls immediately in love with the first person he sees at home who doesn't share his DNA.
-
The Matchmaker's Bargain by Elizabeth Boyle
28 augustus 2020 · 29 min
If you can accept magic and fate without having to question the how or why, this novella is incredibly fun, cute, and sexy. How clean does jail have to be for a romp? What sort of injuries can love heal? This novel surprised us at times, but definitely left us wanting to read more by Elizabeth Boyle. Lees meer
-
Lord Perfect by Loretta Chase
24 augustus 2020 · 34 min
Laine and Meg like flirtatious couples with similar senses of humor. Throw in a sexy road trip and a treasure hunt and you know we were all about this book.
-
The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne
21 augustus 2020 · 41 min
The Highwayman was a sexy, dark romance filled with tropes and "mysteries" that we downed like potato chips. Dorian is a more violent and sinister Nick Gentry from Worth Any Price, and you know we have a lot to say about that.
-
The Duchess Wager by Katherine Grant
18 augustus 2020 · 32 min
Laine and Meg like desk sex and crushing the patriarchy, and so does Katherine Grant. Overall a fun read, if a bit on the tame side compared to our usual fare.
-
The Taming of Jessi Rose by Beverly Jenkins
14 augustus 2020 · 42 min
This book was a serious history lesson with a dang cute and sexy couple. It was a bit heavy on trauma and torture for us, but that's probably not what we'll remember about this book anyway.
-
Beauty and the Blacksmith by Tessa Dare
11 augustus 2020 · 30 min
Diana and Aaron spend a lot of time at the blacksmith's sparking at one another until they ignite. This novella takes desk sex to a whole new level and we are here for it.
-
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
6 augustus 2020 · 36 min
We were expecting an adorable romcom genderswap of Pretty Woman. This is a lot sexier than that.
-
Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
3 augustus 2020 · 27 min
Laine and Meg finish their recap of The Wallflowers with this tale of a manic pixie dream girl and the guy who is obsessed with her. What it lacks in substance it makes up for in angst-free cuteness.
-
Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn
31 juli 2020 · 29 min
Laine and Meg grin through this review of an adorable and trope-y love story. Sometimes you just need to read about two compatible people bantering, and this book has that in spades.
-
Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas
28 juli 2020 · 28 min
This book is really really sexy... and not much else. We had fun, but did feel like this fell short of perfection.
-
The Naked Baron by Sally MacKenzie
23 juli 2020 · 31 min
Meg describes this book as all frosting, no cake in the best way and honestly I can't top that. Everyone is adorable, the story is fluffy, and they do get naked eventually.
-
Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase
20 juli 2020 · 24 min
Meg and Laine talk about the first romance novel they had in common. This one has it all, and very little angst.
-
A Bride by Moonlight by Liz Carlyle
17 juli 2020 · 28 min
This book has everything we say annoys us and yet we both really liked it. Is anyone in the book part of the titular secret society? No, but give us a pining hero who can't keep his hands off of a mystery-solving heroine and we'll forgive almost anything. Lees meer
-
Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean
14 juli 2020 · 35 min
Laine and Meg really enjoyed the finale to the Bareknuckle Bastards series. This book is fun, sexy, and capable of laughing at its own absurdity, which always wins points in our books.
