46 - My Familiar Stranger by Victoria Danann

This book has it all! A fierce, dimension jumping heroine, vampire, elves, and an intense love triangle. Elora loses everything one night when invaders massacre her family. After being shoved into an interdimensional portal she wakes up, bloody and broken in a new yet almost familiar world. As she adapts to her new life with the Knights of the Black Swan she develops relationships with Storm and Ram. The slow building flirtation between her and Ram is contrasted with the fast friendship and loyalty she has with Storm. What if doing the right thing isn’t the right thing?

45 - The Concubine and her Vampires by Julie Morgan

Just like this book, we jump right in to the good stuff for our first ever reverse harem novel. When the time comes for blood demon Olivia to be paired for life with a vampire she feels like her life is ending. Then, instead of one vampire, she finds herself concubine to 5 gorgeous brothers-in-arms, and realizes the fun is just getting started. This book is not shy and gives you all the steamy sex you could want and we loved it. Naturally, we still have some questions. Like, does Olivia ever get some one-on-one time with her men? ***We would love and appreciate if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

44 - The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

To honor the release of Erin Morgenstern’s new book, The Starless Sea, we read her debut novel, The Night Circus. This book has been a favorite of ours since it was released in 2011. The amazing, detailed world Erin created captured our imaginations while the beautiful love story between Celia and Marco captured our hearts. The intimacy between Celia and Marco may not be explicit, but you cannot deny the simmering emotion and intensity that develops as their challenge binds them ever tighter together. Our discussion explores how relationships end and begin and the occasional overlap that can exist when the heart runs away without logic. ***We would love and appreciate if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

43 - The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory

We stepped out of our comfort zone for this book. In celebration of Halloween, our paranormal podcast has dressed up as a contemporary podcast. We read Jasmine Guillory’s new book The Wedding Party where an unexpected relationship develops between Maddie and Theo. As we follow these two known enemies through their secret affair we discuss our own secret relationships, or not so secret as the case may be. Join us to see how Saylet likes her first contemporary romance novel and if Jasmine’s amazing writing can change Calina’s mind about the subgenre. And don’t forget the steamy sex, because this book brings it! ***We would love and appreciate if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

42 - Forever Blood & Forever Still by Lisa Manifold and Corinne O'Flynn

Forever Blood - As Isabaeu struggles to get over the death of her fiance and two friends, her grandma pushes her out of the house and into an adventure to Scotland. Instead of discovering the history of her lost family member, she meets Cullum who wakes her up and makes her feel again. The relationship builds and the sex is hot! But, can you trust a man who shows up to a dinner date having already eaten? Forever Still - This is a master course in a short story! The story is simple but the emotions are not. Delilah is running from a bad relationship and runs right into the arms of Miles. Hurt by his past, Miles is not looking for another chance but Fate has other ideas. We thoroughly loved this novella and the strong emotions it evoked from start to finish. Our only note would be: give us the sex scene! ***We would love and appreciate if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!
