There are many things to enjoy about this book and a ton of well developed B plots. Maybe too many, but we could have looked beyond that if all the talk of erotica had lived up to the hype. As such, we liked this, but didn't love it.

Meg loved this, Laine didn't, so maybe don't start here if you're new to SciFi?

Meg and Alex are joined by Jim Butcher to discuss Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, which TBH sounds like a romp.

Laine isn't a bird person and apparently Meg isn't a this book person, so we struggled a bit here.

This series keeps getting more and more bonkers. There are moments of fun, but we untimately had trouble connecting with the characters.

This book might be quintessential Milan. She deals with real issues with a lot of resonance today in a way that is still so true to the Romance novel genre. This one is definitely on the angsty side, but it really plays with the expected.

Torie is basically the best and Dominic is... trying, but in a way we both REALLY enjoyed.

We asked Eloisa James to join us for a discussion of one of the tropes in her new book, and she said yes! We touch on so many topics, but it was fascinating to get an author's take on how romance evolves with the times. Thank you, Elosia!
