Plot Trysts

Meg and Alex are joined by Rachel Griffiths to discuss this book, which does not feature Harriet Vane.

How awful would a man have to be to make infinite gemstones unappealing?

A sex novella in a house party book.

Meg and Alex are joined by Sherry Thomas to discuss the introduction of Harriett Vane into Lord Peter's life.

We felt like this was a departure for Heath. There were moments of the romp we have come to expect, but the more serious issues it tackled and our personal sentiments in the moment made this a miss for us.

We're delving into a new McMaster world with a post-series novella.

Meg and Alexandra Vasti are joined by Joanna Lowell to discuss Alex's favorite book in the series so far (I think that will change once she encounters Harriet).

Part two of this duology is really just the second half of one book, so DO NOT START HERE. Otherwise, it was cute.

New historical author alert! We were charmed and entertained and pleased with the sexiness. What more could you ask for?

Meg and Alex are joined by Emily Sullivan to discuss crafting a complicated mystery and lesbians.

Everything we have come to love and expect from Jenna Bigelow, with a hard left turn that we decided we were fine with.

This book is perfect.

Meg and Alex continue dissecting the Wimsey series by Dorothy L. Sayers with guest Tati Richardson.

Promising author, depressing life circumstances for our characters.

This series continues to charm us, even if this couple and the indecent proposal weren't a match with our romantic sensibilities. Find more on Dan on his website: https://www.dpclarence.com/

Meg and Alexandra Vasti are joined by Colleen Kelly to discuss the opening novel in the Lord Peter Wimsey Series by Dorothy L. Sayers.

Are we doing Romantasy right?

This book is a fucking delight.

Eloisa James tries many new things in this book - the first person POV, the significant page time devoted to new friendships, and a lot of trauma in a fairly light book. We both struggled.

I wouldn't waste food in violence under any circumstances.

Minnie Harper is back and Meg and Laine talk a lot about family dynamics.

Goodness was this exactly what we needed.

A Romantasy we liked!

We have finished the Blackshear series and I need to lie down.

Another excellent Roman romance from Jenna Bigelow!

Meg takes a trip down Memory Lane and Laine gets an education.

We talk to Olivia Waite about... stuff. And blurbs. And the book!

Or, Guy is bad at listening until Arabella fixes him.

Well, it's a Stephanie Laurens.

This was delightful! If you're not doing well in the modern world, may we suggest the past for romance?

Caroline Linden is delightful and bringing so much needed joy right now.

We are joined by Emily Sullivan to discuss why the Hollow of Fear is so good.

How sexy was The Parent Trap?

Les Dieux du Stade. Thank us later.

This book caused an existential crisis.

We needed some bonkers, so it's back into His Dark Materials or whatever this series is called.

It is a testament to how much I liked this book that I got this episode up.

This book has many merits and if you like it will likely depend on your feelings on secret secrets(TM)

This book is a farce, in a good and intentional way.

Don't worry you guys, we get to rave about ancient Roman escapism again.

Stephanie Laurens is judged on her own rubric.

Laine learns a valuable lesson about giving things a second chance.

Laine died several times while recording this episode.

Meg said it best, this is the closest a contemporary can come to a historical (which is why we like it).

Oh hey, have you heard of Heated Rivalry?

We once again have social commentary disguised as monster romance, this time with superheroes and mutants!

We were both very charmed by this age gap situationship.

This book is a great pick me up if the fire department breaks down your door with an axe.

We're joined by Ali Lockheart to go off-topic a lot.

This unconventional series continues to give us plenty to talk about! In a good way!
