Road trip! For us, not for the characters in this very steamy, very squishy book. For some reason, paranormal detective Ace Bissett doesn’t believe in magic. That is until she meets four incredibly hot, winged, strong, and rock hard dudes who were once turned into stone and attached to a house she inherited from her late aunt. Her nights are filled with battling bad guy vampires and having these winged men at her side, and behind her side and all over her sides! Whoa. Ace quickly gets over the fact that these guys have been stoned since the time of the Knights of the Templars and gets to know them each individually - deeply intimate - hard and fast. Come on! Join us for this squishiness... ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

95 - Cursed by Night by Jada Storm and Emma Stark

We love the fake girlfriend/boyfriend trope! What could make it even better?  If one of the characters involved is a 900 year old demon of course!  Zoephus (Zoe) is an unusual demon since all she wants is another chance at life as a regular human.  Ryan is down in the dumps after losing his fiance to his business partner when he confides in his friend who just happens to be a warlock.  Thanks to a demon deal Zoe and Ryan are stuck together for 50 days, and naturally love ensues.  This book is so sweet and the relationship developing between Zoe and Ryan feels so real.  We loved watching these two characters help each other with their self doubts and weaknesses and gradually fall in love. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

94 - Faking it with the Demon by Rhiannon Hartley

This third book in the Misfit Series is everything we hoped it would be.  While the Siren Misfit left us a bit disappointed, Bunny Misfit is just as funny and sexy as Eve’s books usually are.  This is the story of Claire (a very unusual bunny shifter) and Derek (a handsome werewolf from her past).  They meet up unexpectedly as both are investigating an organization experimenting on shifters.  Claire and Derek are a cute and funny couple.  She is constantly surprising him with her determination to overcome her fears and help save shifters in danger.  The sex is steamy, the characters are entertaining, and the there is just enough plot to keep the story moving. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

93 - Bunny Misfit by Eve Langlais

Oh boy, guys! We haven’t read a Nalini Singh book in years and we are so excited to get back to another amazing story! Sascha Duncan is an emotionless Psy, supposedly, who works hard to keep her position in the Psy dominating society, while also trying to keep her ‘defect’ a secret. That is until she meets Lucas Hunter, alpha of the Changeling clan who is out on the hunt for a killer of several Changeling women. It has always been assumed that Psy do not possess the ability to have emotions, yet, he sees something in Sascha as they are brought together during a business deal. What starts off as dislike, turns to curiosity, lust, and then, yup, you guessed it… squishy, steamy, hot sex and a beautiful relationship between Sascha and Lucas. It is hard to forget a Nalini novel after a sexy one like this! ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

92 - Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

Samuel is an immortal hunter, offspring of a human mother and soulless father.  He has devoted his life to hunting down the soulless who harm and feed on humans.  That is, until he meets Thalya, a soulless woman with the power to capture his heart.  This is a true enemies to lovers story.  Once Thalya meets Samuel she realizes that what she thinks she knows about her and the other soulless is limited and inaccurate.  As the two work together to find out what is going on they are also drawn to each other in inexplicable ways.  Both try to fight their attraction and deny the feelings but there is more to their love than they can fight.  Can their love be an offer of redemption for the soulless?  The teasing scenes of intimacy that keep getting cut short really heighten the sexual tension for the readers as well as the characters. In the end, super unusual and interesting story, great character development, squishy sex scenes! This was a fun book!  ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

91 - Angel Rising by LaVerne Thompson

We return to the world of Bash and Freya after Freya has successfully brought down the sovereign and publicized the information about the aliens to everyone.  Unfortunately, this results in backlash when the aliens show up, kidnap all the humans, and return to their world with plans of forced procreation or slave labor.  As per usual with Freya and Bash, chaos ensues as different forces try to keep them apart.  Their relationship is tested over and over again but they hold true to each other.  This book is so action packed there isn’t much time for romance and sexy scenes.  Don’t worry, the few we get are quite intense and steamy!  While the book denies us the clean and easy ending we might want, there is more to come in this world and maybe a life without vengeance for Bash and Freya. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

90 - Vengeance Denied by Zoey Indiana

This was an emotional read.  Mara is struggling with a lifelong mystery illness that she is losing the battle with.  Cade has lost his whole wolfpack, been kidnapped, tortured, and is on the verge of death.  When Mara finds Cade as a dying wolf it feels like her final act on earth will be to either ease his passing or nurse him back to health.  Luckily, this is a romance novel so we get the love story and both characters helping to heal the other’s trauma.  The feelings between Cade and Mara felt real and grew over time in a very natural way.  Since Cade is a wolf and mates for life we get extra hot sexy times when they finally succumb to their feelings and get dirty!  We loved this book and will definitely read the rest of the series. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

89 - A Shift in the Water by Patricia Eddy

This book is all about the journey.  We meet the strong, independent, business woman Briellyn who is trying to secure financing to take her design business to the next level.  In comes Eric, a gorgeous billionaire with a too good to be true offer.  The twist, no one is who they seem to be.  The story grows to one of good versus evil and the fate of the world stands in the balance.  Eric needs Briellyn and her special skills to help him stop evil but he might also need her on a more personal level.  The sexual tension keeps growing as they begin their search for the missing crystals.  This book is a unique take on the paranormal genre and draws us into this world making us eager to read the next book. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

88 - The Great Balance by T. A. Davenport

This book is a really sweet paranormal romance.  When Abigail Weston and Carson Stone meet, neither of them are interested in a serious relationship but fate seems to have other plans.  Everything is strained by Abigail’s unusual ability to see the future when she touches another person.  The main characters are so well-written they seem like real people we already know.  Their struggles and fights really strike home as they try to navigate their deepening relationship.  This book is very different from ones we normally read but it felt like coming home to something soft and cozy.  And while we didn’t get the explicit sex scenes we typically like, the relationship was so strong it felt like we did.   ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

87 - The Tea Shop by Bernadette Marie

Aisling Grey is back and she is trying to find a Guardian mentor in Budapest without the help or interference of Drake, her Wyvern Mate.  Things rapidly start getting complicated as she finds Drake and all the Dragon Wyverns in town for a peace conference and staying at her same hotel.  Despite all her protests to the contrary, Aisling ends up striking a deal with Drake to commit to him if he lets her pursue her calling as a Guardian.  A whole cast of characters show up, including dozens of incubi, ghosts, and a professional virgin.  And many of our favorites from the first book return.  Just like the first one, the sex is mind-blowing.  The main trouble being, we don’t really know Drake or his personality, and neither does Aisling.  Aside from how sexy he is I can’t think of a good reason Aisling would be in love with Drake.  The book is an action-packed, wild ride but we are left in the same conundrum at the end: Aisling has walked away from Drake a second time, how can their relationship survive? ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

86 - Fire Me Up by Katie MacAlister

We return to the dystopian romance of Zoey Indiana’s Vengeance trilogy.  This book continues the love story of Bash and Freya while they try to bring down the government.  Their relationship goes through some serious trials in this book, both characters trying to protect and save the other but not always getting it right.  Bash’s super tech skills lead to a super fun twist when he develops an AI in his own head.  Can an AI experience love?  Who is to say, but it definitely seems like ERIC has developed a special attachment to Freya and adds some tension to their relationship.  The sex is hot, the relationship is anything but fated, and the twist at the end has us flummoxed as to what we will find in the third book! ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

85 - Vengeance Executed by Zoey Indiana

It has been 60 episodes but we have finally returned to the Night Huntress World by Jeannine Frost.  This book gives us the love story for Kira, a human private eye, and Mencheres, a 4,500 year old master vampire.  It is hard to match our love for Spade and Denise from First Drop of Crimson, but this book did not disappoint.  There was exciting action as Kira and Mencheres try to outsmart his life-long enemy.  But the best parts are the love scenes!  Jeannine pulls her typical trick of heightening the sexual tension between Kira and Mencheres by having their initial love scenes interrupted.  By the time they get to do the deed we are as needy as Kira and also don’t mind that it takes place in an equipment room under Magic Mountain.  You don’t want to miss the shower scene, as usual that one was Calina’s favorite.  Along with the sex, this is a story of forgiving your past so you can have a future. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

84 - Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost

We haven’t had great luck with Wolf Shifter books but this book redeemed the subgenre for us.  In the beginning, Chloe’s relationship with Rafe was hard to read about.  Rafe seemed like a class A jerk and I was scared she was going to marry him.  Then Fenris showed up, a time traveling viking with some truly ancient relationship beliefs.  At first it seemed like Fenris was going to be the same type of typical Alpha asshole we have met previously.  He didn’t listen to Chloe, the fated mate he traveled millennia into the future to find, and made some pretty big decisions on her behalf, like bringing her from present day to his Viking past.  But Fenris came around and made an effort to make Chloe feel at home in her new world.  As typical with wolf books, the sex was hot, dirty, and animalistic.  It was heightened by Chole finally finding her sex drive upon meeting Fenris.  Before Fenris, her makeout sessions with Rafe made her feel queasy and she just tried to endure them.  The idea of a modern day black woman being transported thru time to the land of vikings was fascinating to read and think about.  One thing was pretty odd for a wolf book, neither of the main characters ever shifted.  But in the end, Chole found the people and family she was meant to belong to and the love between them blossomed.  ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

83 - Her Viking Wolf by Theodora Taylor

FINALLY!  We made it back to the Deborah Cooke Dragonfire series.  Calina has been waiting years for us to get back into this series.  This book holds a special place in Calina’s life and you don’t want to miss our discussion in the podcast about the parallels she sees between Eileen and herself.  With the third eclipse comes the third firestorm and Erik, the leader of the pyre, is in for a surprise.  As quick as he is to push all of his other dragons into consummating their firestorms, he is surprisingly reluctant to do his “duty.”  But his mate, Eileen, is a practical, non nonsense, person and willing to accept the limited sexual encounter he is offering.  The bathtub scene at the quaint English B&B, fresh out of the rain is perfectly written and gives us all the feels.  The whole relationship, just like the firestorm, builds so exquisitely throughout the book until you can’t help but fall victim to the raging inferno!  Did I mention that I fucking love this book?  I have honestly lost track of the number of times I have reread this book alone out of the series.  This episode is absolutely a must listen if you like us at all!  Hopefully it won’t take us years to revisit this favorite series. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

82 - Kiss of Fate by Deborah Cooke

In season one we read a short story compilation that included a story by Marjorie Liu, it was from this series and we loved the idea so much we talked about wanting to read a whole book.  Why it took us 3 years to make good on our discussion is anyone’s guess.  But here we are.  We are happy to relate that we weren’t disappointed.  This is a fantastic and interesting concept.  We love the tattoos as armor that become actual demons when night falls.  The mystery that Maxine has to solve is wild and requires close reading to follow.  The characters are strong and interesting with their own flaws.  To be fair, this is more of an urban fantasy than a romance novel.  Maxine is already in a relationship with Grant when the books starts and while they have moments of tenderness and intimacy, it is not the focus of the book. We liked this book for the plot and unique story, but it doesn’t give us the dirty, sexy times we love to read. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!
