This week we read “Carnal Cryptids:  East Coast” by Vera Valentine

After a long day of dodging darts and heckling tourists from her balloon game booth on the Wildwood boardwalk, Desiderata just wanted to forget her looming housing angst for an hour at her favorite dive bar. When heavy flirtation and a cocktail from a suave substitute bartender shakes up her evening, things are looking up. Until, of course, she catches him making out with a hot college guy not five minutes later.

For JD, a shift behind a Jersey shore dive bar was always the same: predictable, boring, a little bit sticky. So what was it about this gorgeous brunette that instantly had him on the rocks? One look at her brought out the beast in him - and a desperate hope that she might be what he and his two boyfriends need. After over a century of struggle, they were due for a win - and someone who really believed in them.

When Desi agrees to a dinner date, the three have hope, but do they have what it takes to win her heart?

This week we read “The Sweetest Oblivion” by Danielle Lori

Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa. In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A made man, a boss, a cheat—even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. Elena doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.

And he’s always near.

Telling her what to do.

Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should.

This week we read “Knot My Type (All Access #1)” by Evie Mitchell

When Frankie tells people she’s a sexologist, they imagine Marilyn Monroe, not a woman who uses a wheelchair. As the host of the All Access Podcast, Frankie is breaking barriers, crushing stigmas, and creating sexual connections that are fulfilling for my fans, but she’s hit a snag. A lovely listener wants some advice about accessible rope play, which leaves her with no option but to get out there and give it a go.

Which is how she meets Jay Wood—rigger, carpenter, and all-round hottie.

Only Jay isn't her type. He's not a one-girl kind of guy. Monogamy isn't even in his vocab, but the closer they get, the more Jay has her tied up in knots.

This week we read “The Mabon Feast (Wheel of the Year: a Cambric Creek Romance Book 1)” by C.M. Nascosta

Ousted from her coven, hurting for clients, and struggling to keep her aging family home from falling into disrepair, painfully awkward witch Ladybug is at the end of her rope. When she rents the attic bedroom to an unsmiling, spider-like araneaen, she hopes her fortunes are making a change for the better. But Ladybug knows nothing about the secretive spider-folk; not what they eat, what goddess they worship — or anything about their mating needs. The blustery winds of Autumn usher in the rain and the second harvest . . . and a strangely enticing smell that seems to permeate the seams of Ladybug's very existence. The darkness beyond her bedroom door hungers, and she is helpless to offer herself up as its feast.
