    30 juni 2020 · 47 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg rave about this novel and Bujold's mastery of her craft. Bujold herself called this book what happens after the happily ever after. What this lacks in explicit sexiness it makes up for in everything else.

    22 juni 2020 · 16 min

    Afspelen

    Meg and Laine are totally fine with historical anachronisms as long as the book is sexy and fun, which this is. Our only complaint is that we wish it were longer because we could always use more Tessa Dare backstory.

  10. When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James

    29 mei 2020 · 29 min

    Afspelen
    Trigger warning for child abuse, pandmeics, and dermatological issues. This book can't decide what it wants to be. Parts are Batshit but taken too seriously and parts tackle serious issues but are taken too lightly. Laine's disgusted, Meg's offended, but we ended up indifferent to it in the end. Lees meer

    25 mei 2020 · 26 min

    21 april 2020 · 47 min

    Afspelen

  20. It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas

    16 april 2020 · 31 min

    Afspelen

    What does it take to make Meg and Laine hate a book by Lisa Kleypas? A boring heroine, a mistmatched pair, oh and the hero having sex with the heroine when she's too drunk to consent.

  21. A Secret Love by Stephanie Laurens

    13 april 2020 · 48 min

    Afspelen
    The Batshit continues... with masks! Asking a friend for help is so embarrassing, especially when you're not sure if they're willing to help at all.

  26. Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare

    23 maart 2020 · 36 min

    This book takes the angst and sex of the rest of the series and turns it way way up. A library is put to excellent use, and we discuss what "full angst" means to us.

  27. The Bachelor by Sabrina Jeffries

    16 maart 2020 · 28 min

    Afspelen

    How was this book written by the same woman who wrote "In the Prince's Bed"? No real conflict, no real relationship building, no real plot. What's the conceptual opposite of having it all? This book.

    12 maart 2020 · 32 min

  31. The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

    2 maart 2020 · 32 min

    Afspelen
    No one's first novel should be this good. Lust, agnst, and Mr. Hopple's vests combine to make a story we are very much here for. A few trigger warnings, but no more than we've come to expect from Hoyt. On the flip side, this book is somehow even sexier that we've come to expect from Hoyt. Lees meer

    27 februari 2020 · 36 min

    Afspelen

    25 februari 2020 · 37 min

    Afspelen

    Meg and Laine hate brothers who lose their sisters in gambling matches but love it when problematic romance tropes get called out in text. This one is very cute, we mean that mostly as a compliment.

  34. A Lady by Midnight by Tessa Dare

    13 februari 2020 · 28 min

    Afspelen
    Meg and Laine sort of get distracted by the best bad boy they've read in a while. Thorne may have spent time in prison, but the man can iron his own clothes. Tessa Dare manages to turn a list of tropes we sometimes struggle with into a book we both love. Lees meer

  36. A Week to be Wicked by Tessa Dare

    6 februari 2020 · 21 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg rave about a set up that involves carriages and only one room at the inn, though also discuss how (not) sexy a hero can be when he's pushy and jealous. Francine the fossil is along for the ride.

  37. A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole

    4 februari 2020 · 43 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg *gasp* disagree. Meg loved this cute tale of a bad-boy prince and a sheltered uppercrust African woman. Laine could have done without references to eggplant emojis mid hookup.

  38. To Pleasure a Prince by Sabrina Jeffries

    30 januari 2020 · 39 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg talk about Ottoman inspired sex cabins, the realistic difficulties of harp playing in the nude, and well-written low-stakes angst. Oh, and carriage sex.

  43. A Well-Pleasured Lady by Christina Dodd

    14 januari 2020 · 30 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg take you on a journey through this acid-trip of a book where the aristocracy doesn't care about their heirs and women must be seduced against their better judgement (and will). Buckle up.

  44. A Rake's Vow by Stephanie Laurens

    9 januari 2020 · 40 min

    Afspelen
    Laine and Meg compare Stephanie Laurens to Agatha Christie and Beowulf. While Vane's story doesn't have the literary merit of either, it outshines both in sheer absurdity. A cat unlocks and opens a third story window exactly as a lover arrives in stealth and our only response was, 'sure' because then they immediately hook up and we are easy, apparently. Lees meer

    2 januari 2020 · 12 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg wrap up our 12 Novellas of Christmas with this tale involving Chinese spies, deadbeat dads, and awkwardly running into that guy you went out with a few times. We swear it's a cute, angst-free holiday story!

  46. The Duke of Christmas Present by Sarah MacLean

    1 januari 2020 · 12 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg like secret passageways, hot chocolate, and old lovers reuniting. We don't like long separations or agnst, but we like this novella anyway.

  47. Heiress Alone by Sophie Jordan

    31 december 2019 · 15 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg basically rewrite this one as a comedy in the line of home alone. Heiress Alone is fun, but we like our version better.

  48. Meet Me in Mayfair by Tessa Dare

    30 december 2019 · 13 min

    Afspelen

    Laine and Meg talk about the lack of sex in Christmas novellas, whether frolicking in the snow is festive or stupid, and it turns out neither of us have respect for a squatting family of 8 who never pay their bills.

  49. Twelve Kisses to Midnight by Karen Hawkins

    26 december 2019 · 16 min

    Afspelen
