115 - Prince in Leather by Holley Trent

Wednesday Jul 27, 2022
Did you know that fairies like to ride motorcycles, wear leather, and assassinate bad people? Neither did we! Come along with us as we meet Simone and Heath, and fall into a world where anyone can be cursed when they are at the right moment at the wrong time. When Heath, Prince of the Sídhe, first meets Simone at the motel she has been bound to by a curse, he knew she was his mate. And while Simone is very attracted to Heath and thinks that he is super hot (because he is), she is rightfully hesitant about his claim on her as his mate and their impending future together. This was a fun story of adventure, self-discovery, and fun sexual adventures that include squishy time with Simone and Heath, and Tom. WHAT?! Give us more of Tom, please!

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!
