Plot Trysts

Laine and Meg (and Conner) talk about their favorite romantic plots in video games. Meg likes fidelity and Laine likes bros.

Laine and Meg rave about this novel and Bujold's mastery of her craft. Bujold herself called this book what happens after the happily ever after. What this lacks in explicit sexiness it makes up for in everything else.

Meg and Laine are totally fine with historical anachronisms as long as the book is sexy and fun, which this is. Our only complaint is that we wish it were longer because we could always use more Tessa Dare backstory.

Laine and Meg gush about the Carsington Brothers' perfection and lament how hard it is to be clever about something that's just very very good.

Laine and Meg complain about parental sex tips, offensive selections of mental illness, and why we are so entertained by the Cynsters.

Laine loves fairytale time travel, Meg hates self-absorbed heroines and heros that don't show up until the last chapter. Laine loves the insanity and the nostalgia, Meg hates the suicide pact and the sex death. Join us as we discuss the relative merits and demerits of this book, which was written in 1994.

Meg learns about climbing, Laine rants about dating, and both really like this book!

Laine and Meg go on tangents about boats, the Kleypas universe, and Mr. Rochester's wife.

Trigger warning for child abuse, pandmeics, and dermatological issues. This book can't decide what it wants to be. Parts are Batshit but taken too seriously and parts tackle serious issues but are taken too lightly. Laine's disgusted, Meg's offended, but we ended up indifferent to it in the end.

Laine and Meg rave about swashbuckling romantic heroes, mistaken identities, and doomed love with yearly gestures. If you've never read Prisoner of Zenda, what are you waiting for?
