Best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann lived up to all the expectations that Bridget had for her. One of Bridget's OG romance novel obsessions, Bridget was thrilled to talk with Suzanne about Navy Seals, Jules Cassidy (Suzanne's first gay character to get his own book), the evolution of her characters, her advice for white writers on how and why they should be writing a world in color, and more. 

Shani was there too ;) (HAHA For real though she was and Bridget let her ask questions, and they were great ones! hehe)

This interview was AMAZING. We couldn't be prouder of it. We couldn't be more thankful Suzanne was so honest with us!

Thank you to our dear friends on Insta for recommending G.A. Aiken to us! Dragon actually was a really fun and smutty read and we were not disappointed by the steam level of this book. 

Though, truth be told, we were KINDA (read 100%) hoping for some kinky dragon/human moments! Instead, we got a lot of the feels from those moments. 

****Make sure you follow us on Instagram @romanceataglance we'll be raffling off G.A. Aiken's newest release!

Full disclosure - we didn't read the books in the prior trilogy, not realizing how heavily they featured Ian!  But, while we missed their initial meeting, it didn't end up mattering in our enjoyment of the book!

Some plot points that got us intrigued: 

• Cock ring of silver
• Kinky - like pain with his sex
• Orgy at the beginning
• Their fight giving him a boner - makes her stop fighting him cause he’s enjoying
• She’s a badass - confused why he is so powerful
• "Who was the real Ian? The carefree rogue who amused me despite myself? Or the dangerous man who set off all my inner alarm bells?"

This is one of Shani's all time favorite paranormal series and so we HAD to start with it in our holiday mashup! We only had a few PNR slots due to calendar problems (silly calendars), so we had to make them count. 

And we couldn't be more happy we did. This novella start to the Immortals After Dark series was a goddamn delight!

Books for season 5’s holiday mashup are on LOCK 🔥😍🔥  and rolling out next Friday!

Hey y'all, Bridget here.   My goal this season was to give Shani the 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗬 season of her dreams. She did me right by introducing me to historicals this past season, Did you catch our Julia Quinn Interview last week!? Bridgertons just announced it’s dropping on Christmas. Head to patreon.com/romanceataglance to watch the show with us!

Anyways, I wanted to give her this gift of a season!. Especially since she had such a shitty time getting back to LA and knew she needed some smutty anxiety relief 😉 

Enjoy my justifications on why these books fit into the holiday season 😂🤗😘 

And our awesome line up of author interviews coming up this season!

Beverly Jenkins (yes I know she’s historical, but scheduling meant she hit this season!)

Suzanne Brockmann, Talia Hibbert, Lucy Lennox and May Archer, NALINI SINGH (season 1!), Katee Robert, R.E. Hargrave, and her audiobook narrators.

Shani was losing her ever-loving mind before this interview because Julia Quinn is one of her favorite authors of all time, we reviewed The Duke and I on the podcast, and she gave great interview!

This interview was so wonderful, and Julia was so generous with her time we had too much for the episode! Plus we got to talk all about Bridgertons on Netflix and Shondaland! You can find a lot of additional listening on Patreon!

What a perfect way to end season 4! This book was so funny and romantic and sexy and we were here for it! 

This was tied as Bridget's favorite book for her historical baptism by book (tied with The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare) and we were both so happy to love this book so much. 

Jamie is a great MC (by the way this stands for main character for those of you who didn't know either :) ) and is brave and foolish in equal measure. The amount of feuds she accidentally starts in this book is HILARIOUS. 

Alec is a strong, silent type who literally thinks having a wife will be no inconvenience at all. He'll just pick her up quick and head home. Well Jamie isn't that wife, she tests him and challenges him and soothes him and generally loves him and gets right under that skin!

The side characters were an additive and the murder plot (eek) was just enough to add stakes but not enough to detract from the love story. 

*** Get your copy of The Bride on Amazon or Bookshop ***

Synopsis:

These Kings be matchmaking! Mighty scottish Laird Alec Kincaid is ordered to take one of the daughters of Baron Jamison as his bride. The Baron thinks to hide away his youngest daughter Jamie, who he uses to run his household and take care of everything, but the stablemaster Beak who love her like a daughter realizes the laird will take care of her and makes sure he sees her. 

She and her sister Mary, who marries Alec’s friend and ally Daniel, are taken to Scotland not hours after meeting and marrying. Can this English woman fit in with the rugged Scots? Will Alec be able to bend to make his wife happy?

• And Bridget reveals how Irish and Scottish boys have the twinkle in the eyes.
• AND MORE!!!

YO! We were sooo happy to record together, in the same room, for the first time and you can tell because our intro was literally a half an hour! And this was after 3 hours of catching up right before that, and then 3 hours the night before. THE HAPPINESS IS REAL Y'ALL! 

If you wanna skip straight to the book review, go straight to 34:00! 

So we were expecting a hot as HELL highlander romance from Maya Banks and instead, we got a kind, dare we say sweet, romance. Which isn't to say there weren't a lot of parts of the book that we liked, it's just, not what we thought we were getting with the rivals clans angle.
