It’s only Tuesday (QR 117)
Description
It’s been a month since Kris and Tara have seen each other’s faces and they have a lot to catch up on!
Kris is in hell, physically and otherwise, dreaming of her recent relaxing, internet-free trip to the lake. Tara’s kids are back in the September school rush, so everything’s a blur between that and work.
They talk Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart, as well as Harlequin’s recent sapphic releases, which are a nice change from yesteryear.
Official Recommendations
From Kris: Can We Skip to the Good Part by Melissa Brayden
Kris’s official recommendation this week is Can We Skip to the Good Part by Melissa Brayden, her first independently published book. It’s a story of new beginnings, as a woman is let go from her job and starts fresh in a new town with her best friend and a new book club. This story offers love, insane chemistry, and some tricky maneuvering. If you haven't read anything by Brayden before, Kris thinks it's a great place to start.
From Tara: One Weekend in Tahoe by Jaime Clevenger
Tara’s official recommendation this week is the one-night-to-forever One Weekend in Tahoe by Jaime Clevenger. It’s a trope-filled erotic romance set in the worlds of philanthropy and sex parties (not at the same time) that balances enough sweetness with a little bit of the real world.
