110 - The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

To continue celebrating AAPI awareness month, we are diving into The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. Holy moly, friends! This is the type of story we want when taking a break from our paranormal romances. Here we meet Stella, a super-intelligent and analytical woman searching for lessons in relationships, and Michael, an escort and closet-clothing designer who was hired by Stella to give such lessons. Join us as we venture into a story that flips the trope of the wealthy, powerful male lead and the lost, vulnerable female love interest, as well as a twist on the ‘fake boyfriend/girlfriend’ storyline. This book was phenomenally written, inclusive, steamy, sweet, SQUISHY, and everything we need in a great romance. Thanks for celebrating AAPI month with us and enjoy this incredible novel!

106 - Magnolia Mystic by Lisa Kessler

We would like to be the first to apologize for never, ever doing a pirate book in the four years we have been doing this podcast because pirates fuck. In book one of the Sentinels of Savannah series, Magnolia Mystic, sassy psychic Skye meets Colton, a grown man dressed as a pirate (spoiler, he’s a real pirate who’s a couple hundred years old), when he catches her throwing her engagement ring into that water at the pier. The two bicker and banter with one another but also team up against a strong-headed real estate investor who wants her shop to build a hotel. She refuses and Colton backs her. Naturally, they are instantly attracted to each other and after a few days of denial, they finally bone. Join us to see why Colton can’t resist the color violet and why Skye can’t resist a man in pirate-form.
