Plot Trysts
By Laine and MegArts
Plot Trysts episodes
- The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. GeorgeImpoverished aristocrat is a fortune hunter in need of a marriage of convenience has been done before, but it's definitely done well here. We might rant about capitalism and a contrived ending, but overall we thought this was the most consent-driven fortune hunter book we've read, and that is definitely a good thing.36 min
- Errata Not Erotica: Mispronunciations, Courtesy titles, and Lit Wallflowers
It seems we always have more to say about courtesy titles, Amelia Peabody, and Bridgerton.
41 min - A Court of Thornes and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Laine read this series a while ago and apparently can't keep the books straight or remember the gross plot elements. Meg was not here for Feyre's wet noodle personality. The first book in this trilogy is a pretty literal beauty and the beast retelling and the two main characters really have the hots for each other, but the real interest comes in the next book.
31 min - The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India HoltonThis gaslamp-ish romance is a ton of fun and made us laugh a lot. It's also filled with a LOT of literary references, and we're pretty sure we missed quite a few. We liked it best for the badass pirate society and the dick jokes, if we're honest.34 min
- Three Nights with a Scoundrel by Tessa DareThe final book in the Stud Club series has a great portrayal of deafness and Deaf culture but a confusing plot tied up with a plot twist that made Laine very angry. Not our usual response to a Dare, for sure. We wouldn't call this "fun."43 min
- Film Review - WitnessLaine and Meg are joined by "Just Plain Wrong" podcast hosts Erin and Tillie to discuss the romance in Witness. Harrison Ford is hot, the cops are really violent, and Laine comes up with the perfect sequel.1 hr 4 min
- Like No Other Lover by Julie Anne LongLaine and Meg talk about marrying for money, bad girls, and the funniest drinking game in the genre.26 min
- The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne LongMeg and Laine talk about how smelly people on the run are, if we want to solve the mystery, and believably duplicitous brothers.25 min
- Devil's Daughter by Lisa KleypasLaine and Meg both really like Phoebe and West. They're cute together, well suited, and largely pretty sexy. However, there are some ill-conceived notions of masculinity and even MEG agrees there's too much Sebastian FKA St. Vincent.44 min
- The Bride of Larkspear by Sherry ThomasLaine and Meg review a novella/writing exercise from Sherry Thomas in this one. It's... hard to talk about as a book because it mirrors Tempting the Bride so closely, but it does provide a lot of conversation fodder. Did he make his daughter a dog? Was anal sex a metaphor?35 min
