Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver is $1.99! This is book one in a new series. It came out last year and I mentioned it on Hide Your Wallet. I do love Weaver’s blend of dark humor and romance, but often find the pacing to be a bit lopsided in her romances. What do you think?
Dr. Bruce Gleason forwarded me a truly enraging email. It’s allegedly from me. Spoiler: it’s not. You might have seen or perhaps received a marketing pitch filled with AI-written and deeply florid compliments to your writing and your book. I’ve received a few and have been trying to track down who actually sent it (mine was sent on behalf of a library in Charlotte which disavowed all knowledge of this person – more on that … Continue reading SCAM ALERT: There is no Smart Bitches Strategic Partnerships →

This HaBO request is from Shauna. Trigger warning for description below: Historical Romance; the heroine is being physically abused by her (step?) mother. I think these happened in the same book but I’m not totally sure. 1. She is with her girlfriends trying on a wedding dress at a shop and they see her back is covered in scars. I feel like she didn’t know they were there and everyone just looks at each other? … Continue reading HaBO: Abusive Stepmother →

The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers is $2.99! This released in November and was mentioned on Hide Your Wallet.
I picked this book up for a ridiculous reason: a misreading of the title. I read Dom-Con – a convention of doms and I found that idea hilarious.
