October 27, 2020 Dangerous by Amanda Quick
The first third of this book has a rich cast, hilarious duel plot lines, and a flirtatious couple being compromised which was all pretty great. The back end of the book is less interesting and a lot more formulaic. Worth a read if you know you love Quick.

October 19, 2020 Be Mine Tonight by Kathryn Smith
This book mixes the lore of Arthur with the origin of vampires in a very cool way, and has a fun and sexy main couple. The only BIG downer is that she's dying of cancer and you really can't forget it.

October 15, 2020 Pandora's Bottle by Eileen Wilks
Pandora's Bottle is a magical take on the straight-laced guy with a wild side trope with a plot that's mostly spoiled by the book jacket. Cute concepts that could've used some extra pages to develop and an editor catching problematic language.

October 12, 2020 Tangled Dreams by Lori Foster
We continue our Halloween reads with Tangled Dreams, where ghosts enable kinky mind reading sex to facilitate their ability to move on. Too bad consent and consistent characterization were in such short supply.

October 08, 2020 Murder on Cold Street by Sherry Thomas
The fifth meeting of the Lord Ingram appreciation society has officially convened. We do leave room to talk about well crafted mysteries, amazing character development, and the fact that were both (sigh) a little tired of Moriarty.

October 05, 2020 Bridal Jitters by Jayne Castle
This novella introduces a lot of sci-fi world building into a a fairly short novella, but still manages to squeeze in a fun relationship dynamic with a Halloween hookup.

October 01, 2020 An Irresistible Force by Rosanna Leo
The main characters in this book are very cute and their flirtatious banter is excellent. Important discussions were had about bullying and working through issues, but we mostly wanted to keep reading about the flirting in the Canadian wilderness.

September 28, 2020 Man in the Mirror by Julie Beard
Katie can't commit to men or a profession until she's sent back in time to meet a dude in King Arthur's court who is the ancestor of the dude she's supposed to marry. The dude she is supposed to marry is only on like 10 pages.

September 24, 2020 The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan
The best ever execution of "only one room at the inn" plus a set-up we've never seen before in a romance novel? Yes, please. We spend this episode gushing about how perfectly this book handles some serious topics, which can be misleading as this book oozes charm and fun on every page. Read it!

September 21, 2020 Not Quite a Lady by Loretta Chase
The final book about the Carsington Brothers has the villanous interludes of Miss Wonderful, a potential bride from Lord Perfect, and the money of Daphne in Mr. Impossible. While we find this plot the weakest, it's also the most explicit so do with that what you will.
