Plot Trysts

We fell hard by this cute couple but weren't nearly as enamored with the wider book. We totally admit that might have been our fault for starting with book 7, but we have a LOT of questions.

A funny outtake, some insight into Laine's brain, a review of "The Lost City", and our immediate response minutes after finishing Bridgerton Season 2.

Apparently the consequence of Meg making Laine start in the middle of a series is an hour long episode. This series is BONKERs and each species has its own soulmate/boner rules so there was a lot we had to parse through. There's a scene like "Ghost" except instead of a pottery wheel it's a wall, so we talk about that a lot.

Maya Rodale is a romance author but this book is a big departure from her usual fare and could generously be called flirtation adjacent. Don't let that put you off, however, because it's a very good book if you like pulpy books about the Gilded Age (and we do).

We enjoyed this conclusion to the Dear Lady Truelove series, which managed to stay true to the spirit of the original. In this episode, we shockingly agree that there are times when we respect that sex wouldn't have added to the plot. (???? Yes we are still us and have not been body snatched.)

Look, Meg and Laine recognize we're probably not the right people to review this book. Cat Sebastian is a good writer, but the plot here missed the mark for us. The greatest joy to be found here is Meg coming to terms with missing all the Robin Hood parallels.

Meg and Laine spend way too much time talking about capitalism, racial coding, and Star Trek when discussing this sex book.
