Plot Trysts

Meg and Laine talk about books

Road Trip with a Vampire by Jenna Levine

We start October right with some vampires!

The Scot's Seduction by Megan Frampton

This book is cute and fun and quick but I make a lot of gambling metaphors regarding a lack of payoff.

Ladies in Hating by Alexandra Vasti

In which we determine the X Files is a send up of gothic literature.

Is This Real or Just Pretend? by Emily Sullivan

This book is perfect, wouldn't change a thing. Go read it.

For My Lady's Heart by Laura Kinsale

Meg feels like this is a Masterpiece. Laine doesn't know how to feel.

A Waltz on the Wild Side by Erica Ridley

The Wynchester series ends as it began, in a crazy-whimsical version of England and featuring the detective skills of a band of wealthy and socially marginalized do-gooders.

The Sea Witch by Eva Leigh

Ben is my new book boyfriend and I will not be taking questions at this time.

Gabriela and His Grace by Liana De la Rosa

We adored the relationship in the end to this trilogy, and it struck the perfect balance between setting and characters. The ending wasn't our cup of tea, but it was very easy to look past.

On a Wicked Dawn by Stephanie Laurens

Batshit in Bed works best in small sections, but Stephanie continues to Stephanie.

Bad Luck Bride by Laura Lee Guhrke

This series has been a treat, and this book is no exception when it comes to providing the well-written complex characters we've come to expect. Laine felt a little too much about the heroine to really love this one, but it's definitely worth a read.

Road Trip with a Rogue by Kate Bateman

This book is so much fun even if these girls are the worst spies ever.

Soulgazer by Maggie Rapier

You should know before you read this that it is the first book in a duology.

Rerelease: Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas

The Hathaways wraps up without any coitus interruptus, which doesn't seem very on-brand. We really liked certain parts of this book, but had a hard time talking about it because PTSD is scary and your wife can't be your therapist.

Rerelease: Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas

We don't love this plot, we don't love this conflict, but we love this book so so so much and we basically can't stop gushing about how perfect Leo and Marks are.

Rerelease: Tempt Me at Twilight by Lisa Kleypas

The third Hathaway book may have a lackluster romance, but the sibling interactions are so good we can't recommend skipping it.

Rerelease: Seduce Me At Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas

This book has a LOT going on. Even though it's the second in the series it goes back in time for several chapters of set up, there's a weird murder doctor love triangle that serves no purpose, and the pairings from book 1 and book 4 in the series get a lot of time on page. There is also a sex cabin that is a significant portion of the book and absolves all sins and you should totally read this.

Rerelease: Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

This book is a total fantasy. Rich dude who desperately wants to spend his money? Check. Incredible chemistry? Check. Dude who solves all problems so his lover can sleep in? Check. Yeah, we liked this.

On a Wild Night by Stephanie Laurens

Batshit in the demimonde isn't very batshit, but is very filled with sexy encounters.

An Experienced Mistress by Bryn Donovan

Longtime listeners might think Laine was the first person to roar like a lion in this episode, but it was Meg!

07-18

The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam by Megan Bannen

The adventures in Tanria have come to an end, and we end up talking much more about the arc of Tanria than Rosie and Adam's immortal place in it.
