Shhh We’re Reading Dirty Books

149 - Wicked Bite by Jeaniene Frost

Yet again we are venturing back into a series that we love and adore. And we are glad we did! This week we read Wicked Bite, book two of the Night Rebel series by Jeaniene Frost where we are delighted to see Ian and Veritas again. Now we haven’t forgotten how much we loved Ian but we sure did miss him. And so did Veritas even though she denies it and tries to chase him away once he finds her again. But all too persistent, with his heart and his pants, Ian can’t resist pestering her and telling her over and over and over how much he loves her and how much he wants to break beds with her. There are bad guys in this book, we find out she has a brother, actiony action and sexy sex, oh and it ends with all of us finding out (including Veritas) that she was secretly betrothed before she was born. What the shit?!

148 - The Alpha by Dannika Dark

Welcome back to the Black Arrowhead novels. To recognize Native American Heritage Month, we are jumping back into book two of this series where we get to know Hope and Tak. Hope is a local jeweler who works hard to produce and sell her craft, though not without doubt and backlash from certain people in her community. Tak, whom we met in the first book, happens to show up in town hoping to reconcile unsolved differences between his once-good friend, Lakota, who also happens to be Hope’s brother. Immediate sparks and an intense attraction form between Hope and Tak, and he can’t help the feeling that he should stay and watch over her when she’s left to run the shop alone while Melody and Lakota are out of town. There’s passion, fun quips, running naked through the woods, and an incredible romance between two people who were meant for not only each other, but also as leaders of their pack.

147 - A Shift in the Air by Patricia D. Eddy

In book two of the Elemental Shifter series by Patricia D. Eddy, we finally get to meet Bella, or should we say, Caitlin. At the end of book one, A Shift in the Water, Liam recognizes Caitlin immediately though she has no memory of who she once was. While she struggles with her darkness and her true powers, she can’t help the instant pull she feels toward Liam. And though his pack sees her as an enemy, Liam knows she’s more than what she seems and longs to bring back the Caitlin he once knew. Join us as we journey with Caitlin’s self-discovery, and as she and Liam rekindle a special kind of love they have been missing for years.

146 - The Tinderbox: Soldier of Indira by Lou Diamond Phillips

We are excited about our book this week, written by the one and only Lou Diamond Phillips. We took another turn down fantasy, sci-fi, YA with this incredible love story, “The Tinderbox: Soldier of Indira.” Inspired by The Tinderbox Soldier by Hans Christian Anderson and the beautiful illustrations of his wife, Yvonne, Lou elegantly presents us with a young couple growing up in a dystopian world where their opposite sides are torn apart by war. Everson is unwillingly thrown into enemy territory, and Allegra is trying to survive her father’s attempt to kill her. Then a fortuitous meeting between the two occurs, through the powers of a Tinderbox, forming an intense forbidden attraction. But can this relationship save both their suffering worlds? Join us and find out. P.S. Apologies for the recording quality of this episode. We have fixed the issue and will resume with normal sound quality for our next recording. Thanks!

145 - Ramón and Julieta by Alana Quintana Albertson

In observance of Hispanic Heritage month, we are highlighting Latina author Alana Quintana Albertson and her readaptation of the classic Romeo and Juliet. In her retelling, Ramón and Julieta come from different sides of the block and their scene is laid out in modern day southern California where a grudge between his father and her mother stems from nothing other than, you guessed it, fish tacos. After running away from what could have been a super sexy, steamy one-night stand with a handsome stranger known only as Romeo, Julieta can’t seem to stop thinking about him. But her worries stem from the love of her work as a chef in the barrio and the fear that the Taco King tycoon will soon be buying out her entire block for the inevitable process of gentrificación. Join us as we discuss the beautiful love growing between these two, despite strife between their families, and experience with us the ending that finally gives these star-crossed lovers a chance at life, not death.

143 - Alpha Attacked by Eve Langlais

Sexiness. It’s been a while since we’ve had ourselves some Eve and we are glad we did! We get sex and lots of it. Yum! This week’s book introduces us to Maeve, an ER doctor who’s probably seen it all - except for anyone who gets up and walks away after getting bullets taken out of his body, without anesthetics. Griffin, on the other hand, cares not about the bullets because he has weed to sell and a rival wolf gang to put in its rightful place. The two build an instant attraction - she smells good, he is super hot. Join us as we discover more about Maeve’s true connection to the lycan world and help the other characters keep it a secret from her throughout the entire book.

140 - Crimson Mourning by Lawrence Hall and Michelle Miller

This week we take a turn down a dark alley and into a dark romance novel, something that we have yet to venture into. Crimson Mourning is the prequel to The Games of the Underworld series that brings us into a dystopia full of powerful vampires, lustful humans, sex, and violence. In this world, the vampire councils make the rules, including the shunning of vampire-human marriages, but there are always those who will defy their orders to make this life their own. Cassie, a human turned vampire, wants more than what this new life has given to her. This story sets the pace for the many stories taking place in this shared universe. Join us in something new and exciting, and enter this world where even we don’t know who we are supposed to love and who we’re supposed to run from.
