We’re closing the books on Rebel Blue Ranch with Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage. We’re sad to see this lovely blue sky adventure come to an end, but it’s fitting to do so with Cam and Dusty. With Cam’s fiance ditching her on their wedding day, Dusty steps in to the rescue. But can he convince her that they deserve a second chance? Also discussed: hygiene of sentient objects, what drew us into and hooked us on Rebel Blue, and dogs–because duh.

We hopped in our time machine this week to read 2006’s A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole. When a Scottish Lykae (who just happens to be a king) finally scents his fated mate while being held prisoner by a bunch of vampires, he quite literally gnaws his way to freedom. Except that when he finds her on the streets of Paris, he realizes that she, too, is a vampire. Turn out, she’s only half-vampire. Her other half is valkyrie. And she’s a bada$$. (Eventually, anyway.) Also discussed: our professionalism, our dogs, and how technology is working against us. On that note, please excuse the random changes in audio quality.

We celebrate the second half of Black History Month (an episode late) with The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest, an absolute delightful love story based in the world of fantasy writing and the publishing business. A family of flower named females, a ‘fine as hell neighbor’, epistolary fiction device, and the magic of New York City combine in the first of the Greene Sisters series which we would 10/10 recommend. Also Discussed: our struggles with reading, Amazon boycotts, and ways to support indie authors.

Happy March, everyone! Spring is still somehow 84 years away and we’re reading Scot and Bothered by Alexandra Kiley. We got an ARC for this follow up to the Kilt Trip (episode 85), so if you’re reading this, the book is out. Middle Sutherland son Jack fell in love with American student Brooke when they were at the University of Edinburgh, but a lot of things got in the way. Seven years later, the two of them are working on the same project. And that project involves hiking an 80-mile long trail over a period of two weeks. Can anyone say “only one tent?” Also Discussed: pickles, Kdot, and why we’re not cut out for hiking Scottish trails.

We celebrate Black History Month with the amazingly gorgeous This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan. It’s a first Kennedy Ryan for both of us, and it will not be the last. Soledad discovers the man that she’s given two decades of her life to is a felonious scumbag, and she is inexplicably attracted to the man who uncovers his crimes. Forensic accountant Judah has been building a case against his coworker for over a year, and when he finally brings down the hammer, he realizes that Sol (whom he can’t stop thinking about) is caught in the crossfire. Also Discussed: the amazinginess that is Gary Oldman, what exactly is the best lubricant for a lint penis, and why women are so awesome.

We’ve returned to the land of human men to read Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase. But don’t worry, the heroine sh00ts the hero in this book. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this romance classic, we decided to see if this book holds up all these years later. Spoiler alert: some of the language is predictably frustrating (the 90s was a different time), but overall, this book stands the test of time. We’re talking top tier enemies to lovers. Also Discussed: the new addition to Veronica’s household, doing a deep dive into the Ruby Dixon lexicon, and “who else died this week.”
