    Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas
    None of us can remember the name of Sarah's hometown so we just call it Grover's Corners, which is fitting given how forgettable she is as a character. We also didn't recall how much of this book was threats of sexual violence. We had a great time recording, but make no promises as to your listening experience.

    Earls Trip by Jenny Holiday
    This books plays with using characters with anachronistically modern world views in a recognizable historical romance set up. Like it or don't, it's all very deliberate.

    The Lady Plays with Fire by Susanna Craig
    We're far enough into Susanna Craig that the appearance of characters from past series is a delight! We both really enjoyed this spin on the actor and his critic, and the low stakes found us both in the right moment.

    Barbarian's Taming by Ruby Dixon
    We're back with more sentient space dildos! Meg loves virgins and Laine needs some innovation.

    My Season of Scandal by Julie Anne Long
    This series continues to impress, even when exploring our less-enjoyed tropes.

    The Stranger I Wed by Harper St. George
    This book just did a lot of things right. It struck a balance: well researched without being explosive, a slow burn that knew how to incorporate early heat, and a dramatic set up but two characters who communicate.

    My Word as Vorkosigan: Brothers in Arms
    Meg and Alex are joined by Olivia Waite to discuss this entry in the Vorkosigan saga. Is there a more fun way to represent issues of a fractious identity than clones?

    The Sailor Without a Sweetheart by Katherine Grant
    Katherine Grant always impresses us with the diversity of experiences she puts in her romances. Both of us enjoyed reading this! Meg had a lot of thoughts on Persuasion and was into it, Laine thought the reality was a little TOO real to be sexy.

    Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart by Sarah MacLean
    We are officially Sarah MacLean completionists with this book. We are NOT fans of this couple, but it was very fun to see how far MacLean has come.

    The Lady He Lost by Faye Delacour
    This is a very promising debut, especially on the hot tamale scale. We just couldn't get over the hero's lack of conviction and making out with her cousin.
