• 178 - The Worst Duke in London by Amalie Howard
    Dec 11 2024

    The Worst Duke in London is named Gage Croft and he is the Duke of Vale. He is tall, red-hair, Scottish, and deep in debt since the death of his older brother and father before him. Lady Evangeline Raine likes animals more than people and prefers to take over her own dowry than to be married off to a man who only desires her wealth. And poor Viola, her little sister can only date when Evvie starts dating and finds it completely unfair as she can tell that her sister is well on her to become a spinster. That is until Vale is offered an opportunity that can wipe away his large debt and bring wealth back into his home. All he has to do is pretend to be interested in Evvie and distract her London so that Huntington can make a salacious move on Viola - she is rich, too, after all. We love when authors retell famous works and Amalie did not disappoint!

    Ember is just a typical woman trying to find her own. Join us this week as we fall into this rom-com and meet Ember and Danuwoa (AKA Native Daddy) and their journey to identity, belonging, and self-acceptance.

This is a lovely story about a woman who navigates not just the corporate world but also the conflicts between her cultural identity, personal ambition, and desire for a real love connection with Dan.

    Oct 16 2024

    We know we said we’d only read There Are No Saints, but we just HAD to see how this ended, so... we read the second book as well. In this Sinners Duet series, we meet starving artist Mara, who is struggling to get by in the competitive art scene of San Francisco. She is a victim of childhood abuse and becomes a victim of an attempted murder as an adult. But Mara is a survivor. Things start looking up when she’s noticed by a rich, local, renowned artist, Cole (insert fancy, rich last name and sexy smolder), and her dreams of succeeding as an artist are becoming reality. Cole has issues of his own - past and present - and having Mara in his life has exacerbated the darkness inside of him that makes him lose control. But does he want to protect her, or does he want to destroy her? We hope you have listened to these books and will join us for this sexy, dark romance.

  • 171 - Kiss Me Mi Amor by Alana Quintana Albertson
    Sep 18 2024

    Book two of the Love & Tacos takes us on a love journey with Montez brother number two, Enrique. After the heirs of the Taco King empire have a falling out with their father (check out episode 145!), the brothers are finding positive and progressive ways to grow their business and reconnect with their Mexican roots. Enrique does so by reaching out to one of very few Latina farm owners, Carolina Flores, to learn more about her farm and possibly becoming business partners. Not to mention she is amazingly stunning and he is not so bad himself. But Carolina is busy running her farm and battling her own problems with a sick, old-fashioned father who has strict dating rules when it comes to his 10 daughters. She doesn't have time for, nor does she want anything to do with, a spoiled, rich Montez brother, who doesn’t understand the importance of not only running a farm, but also taking good care of its workers. Carolina soon finds out that maybe Enrique isn’t as bad as she thought and that these feelings she’s never experienced before might be okay to feel, even if her father doesn’t approve of her and Enrique dating. She soon finds herself fighting against her father’s authority and what she truly feels in her heart.
