پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدAlex and Meg are joined by Kate Batemen to discuss the final book in Laura Kinsale's backlist.
D.P. Clarence is fun and funny but the BTS on reality TV is depressing.
This book really leans in to the "manic pixie" in such a fun way.
Who knew we'd be so into a book about a man with insecurities about his penis?
Meg and Alex are joined by Harper St. George to discuss The Dream Hunter by Laura Kinsale.
Look, this series is totally adorable and this book in particular is really fun. It's one of those that comes close enough to great that the parts that fall short are more frustrating than they shold probably be because you're so mad it isn't perfect. I was too harsh in this episode, but only because it was sooo close to ideal.…
I'd be lying if I said this episode was anything other than Laine fangirling over Amelia Peabody and squealing about how much fun this novella is. Sethos-coded lost all meaning because it was said too many times.
Meg and Laine disagree about the amount of world building we want in a Romantasy, but agree that this book is super cute. Please uncancel My Lady Jane, someone.

We were both very charmed by this mystery novel and can't help speculating on the future romantic turns. What does "cozy" mean to you?
Laine and Meg ostensibly talk with Emily Sullivan about spies. Come for the spies, stay for the tax questions.

This book is for anyone who was ever an embarrassing teenager.
Meg and Alex are joined by Eloisa James to discuss My Sweet Folly by Laura Kinsale. Having not read any of these books, this hero really needs therapy.
This book provided a moment of light in a dark world. We will be immediately consuming everything that Jenna Bigelow puts out for the foreseeable future.
Meg and Alex are joined by Tasha Suri to discuss Shadowheart. I concur that nothing in this book inspired the character in BG3.
Meg and Laine are joined by Olivia Waite to discuss the use of amnesia in romance.

Don't you miss the days before museums had things like security or glass cases?
This is now a Roman Empire/Republic romance fan account.

We ADORED this book and it managed to be fun while dealing with some serious topics.
This book is adorable and so much fun to read and I really enjoyed the balance of romance and world building and I wanted it to be smut and it wasn't. If you go in knowing what to expect it's a romp.
We were both so charmed by the road trip romance between a brutal Visigoth and a Roman princess. We were not charmed by the asshole king letting his people starve, oh wait, it was the same dude.

The concept of this series is very cool, and this book is very effective, but it was also hard to read at this moment in time.
Do I get what is objectively good about Mary Balogh's writing? Yes. Is a low-stakes, low-conflict, low-steam story what I need right now? Not really.
Loretta is BACK. Is this the marriage in crisis as we expected? No. But once you set aside the expectation that something horrible is about to happen this book is a FANTASTIC brother's best friend romance.

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدMeg and Alex resume their read of all Laura Kinsale's books. Today they are joined by Angelina M. Lopez to discuss the Shadow and the Star.
This book is exactly what we expect from this series, rompy and very very sexy. Please give me a book about Jasper, I am such a sucker for a real spy.
We read this because we will read pretty much anything set in Egypt. There were parts that were really fun, but you can really tell it was written in 1997.
We were both a bit scared of this book and were pleasantly surprised, but were left wondering who the target audience was. Also, we now return to our regular posting schedule.
Stephanie Laurens NYE novella? Sign us up for the batshittery.

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدMeg and Alex are joined by Charis Michaels to discuss Laura Kinsale's first book. If I learned anything from editing this episode, you should definitely listen to the audio book.
This is the perfect Christmas novella to end our season with. Yes, I know it's January 9th.
Everything about this book charmed us, even the things that shouldn't have. It's a Christmas miracle!
A sex cabin 12 days of Christmas book? Well ok, if we must, we must.
The Halifaxes are all home for the holidays, and it's exactly what you expect (that is a good thing).
Elizabeth Hoyt is back, baby!
This is super Christmasy and super sexy but we do have to hate on the heroine at the beginning of the book. She improves very much over the course of the story! And Christmas!
It's really fun to see the convention of introductions in the regency taken to a rom-com extreme. We liked it, even if the ties to Christmas feel tenuous.
