Happy Spooky Szn!! To celebrate, we read Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Well, Rae read it and Veronica re-read it and have differing opinions.

See what happens when a trauma nurse with mafia ties (Aly) and an expert hacker (Josh) go on a s*xy journey together and end up killing someone. (Oops.)

At Rae’s suggestion, we read Gloves Off (Vancouver Storm Book 4) by Stephanie Archer and it did NOT disappoint. If you’re looking for enemies-to-lovers, this is the cream of the crop. Georgia and Alexei cannot stand each other, but agree to a marriage of convenience so he can get his green card and she can get her inheritance. They say horrible things to each other, but eventually, the tide turns, in no small part to Alexei’s flower deliveries.

Oy Vey, how different a week makes. We read Talk Flirty to Me by Livy Hart. This book is a bit of a mess. It had so much potential but couldnt stick the landing. When faced with the last opportunity to break it big into voice acting, Piper Bellini has to ask her high school ex-boyfriend for the biggest favor, audition with her as a partner team for the biggest audiobook recording company going. Sam O’Shea needs a favor in return, get her family to endorse his bid for town mayor, and maybe mend fences after 7 years apart. What happens when the voice acting gig gets a little too real? Nothing. Kidding!

We stayed in Texas for another episode! This week, we read CASH by Jessica Peterson. When Mollie inherits her estranged father’s cattle ranch, she plans to immediately sell it and invest the money into her own business. The only problem is that she has to live on the ranch for a year before she actually owns it, which doesn’t really fit into her life in Dallas. Oh, and that hot ranch foreman who her father verbally promised the ranch to…he’s a problem, too.

Over 100 people are now counted among the dead following a horrific flash flood in central Texas. If you’d like to help those affected, you can find resources here.

To celebrate Pride Month, we read You & Me by Tal Bauer and ended up sobbing. But in a good way. In this bi-awakening novel, Luke is desperately trying to hold onto his relationship with his son, Emmet, after the sudden death of his wife. To get closer to Emmet, Landon suggests Luke volunteer with their sons’ football team (because this is Texas, after all). Emmet is best friends with Landon’s son Bowen, which means Luke and Landon end up spending a lot of time together…and eventually falling in love. The big question is: will Emmet be okay with it, or will this be the nail in the coffin of their relationship?

Hope everyone is ready for fake dating/engagement/marriage on an accelerated timeline. This week, we read That Kind of Guy by Stephanie Archer, and spoiler alert: we loved it. Avery wants to buy the restaurant she manages, but she can’t get approved for a loan. Emmett is running for Mayor, but is lagging in the polls thanks to his 30s-and-single status. So Emmett proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement: he’ll co-sign on her business loan in exchange for her pretending to be his girlfriend. And then his fiancée. Oh, and also his wife. Emmett isn’t a relationship kind of guy, and Avery thinks Emmett is arrogant, so there’s no risk of them falling for each other…right?

Successful (but questionably funny) comedian Owen Brodie is going on a six-week standup tour and wants to bring his seven-year-old son with him. The only issue is that he’ll need a nanny to travel with them. Owen’s manager suggests his niece, a fledgling comedian named Frankie…who he doesn’t know heckled Owen a few years back at a show in Tampa. Owen reluctantly hires Frankie–entirely because his son loves her. Owen and Frankie do nothing but snipe at each other, but you know what they say about the line between love and hate…

When a Scottish Lykae (who just happens to be a king) finally scents his fated mate while being held prisoner by a bunch of vampires, he quite literally gnaws his way to freedom. Except that when he finds her on the streets of Paris, he realizes that she, too, is a vampire. Turn out, she’s only half-vampire. Her other half is valkyrie. And she’s a bada$$. (Eventually, anyway.) Also discussed: our professionalism, our dogs, and how technology is working against us. On that note, please excuse the random changes in audio quality.

We got an ARC for this follow up to the Kilt Trip (episode 85), so if you’re reading this, the book is out. Middle Sutherland son Jack fell in love with American student Brooke when they were at the University of Edinburgh, but a lot of things got in the way. Seven years later, the two of them are working on the same project. And that project involves hiking an 80-mile long trail over a period of two weeks. Can anyone say “only one tent?” Also Discussed: pickles, Kdot, and why we’re not cut out for hiking Scottish trails.
