A heart-warming serial killer romance!

Yep, that's exactly what this book is and it made us incredibly giddy.  Adam is one of seven adopted sons of Dr. Mulvaney and they all share a common characteristic. They are psychopaths trained to kill slimeballs who escape the justice system. Adam is held at gunpoint by the son of his past victim and is immediately captivated by him!

There is something about the Mulvaney brothers and how they fall in love - hard and fast - that just absolutely works. You would think that a serial killer romance would be very dark, but Onley James injects the right amount of humor and ooey gooey sweetness that balances it all out.

Barbarian Horde, you say?

Obviously Juliette and I have a type! But this time we have ALIEN barbarian men similar to our beloved Dothraki. The book kicks off with a captor/captive situation (another favorite of ours). Luna offers herself in place of her brother when he breaks the rules of Drakkar. The mysterious horde king makes his interest clear and whisks her off into the sunset. What I love about these barbarians is that they are alpha, but incredibly caring and sweet with their sweetheart. 

There's something about this world that just sucks you in. Zoey Draven's Horde Kings of Drakkar is a highly bingeable series that everyone should read!

Get thee a Scotsman like Graeme Montgomery!

Forced into a marriage by his king, Graeme thinks that he is marrying a woman who will never be his true wife. He can't, in good conscious, consummate the marriage with Eveline Armstrong who is rumored to be touched in the head and childlike. 

What Graeme - and her entire family don't know - is that Eveline isn't daft at all, she just deaf, but played the fool in order to escape a previous arranged marriage to an evil man. When Eveline lays eyes on Graeme and feels the resonance of his voice, she is immediately hopeful that this man could make a good husband. He treats her with respect despite her rumored disability. Will Eveline open up to Graeme and tell him all of her secrets?

Feeling nostalgic for Game of Thrones (the good seasons)?
The Golden Dynasty is the perfect Khal Drogo + Dany fanfic to fill the void. Juliette and I have had enough time after the disastrous final season that we were craving a little barbarian horde romance. 

I apologize for the quality of the audio for this episode. We will be fixing the microphones for future recordings

Lisa Kleypas is our Historical Romance Queen!
In case you didn't know, Lisa Kleypas is our favorite HR romance writer of all time. She consistently writes strong female heroines and swoony heroes. It's no surprise that she is one of our most featured authors on this podcast. 

When it was announced that the Ravenel series was getting an extension, we were beyond excited. Devil in Disguise has so many connections to the previous books of the series as well as the Wallflowers. We hope that Kleypas continues to explore future romances for the Wallflower children!
