THE COVERT CAPTAIN is a Regency-set romance between Captain Fleming, a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, and Lady Harriet Gresham, the sister of Fleming’s superior officer. They are thrown together after Fleming joins her superior officer at his house. And yes, the big secret about Captain Nathaniel Fleming is that she was born Eleanor Fleming, taking over her dead brother’s identity to escape her home. This is not a spoiler.

When Carina announced their new Dirty Bits line, I was skeptical, to say the least. How would this line be different than their usual novellas? Were they simply rebranding erotic romance? Would it be full of problematic tropes and questionable HEAs? 

Welcome to the April edition of Mini-Reviews! (There may be a second batch later this month.)

Margrethe tried to read a couple of f/f romances that fell flat and.... really flat. Suzanne read one as well, and an m/f historical with spies!

Happy April Fools Day! Or not happy, depending on how many people are mean and try to fool you. Anyway, these books are all real and all really exciting, not even fooling. 

MY LADY'S CHOOSING is a choose-your-own-adventure regency romance novel and, as someone who grew up reading the classic CYOA stories, I had a lot of fun with it. Before I get into the review - I rarely recommend a specific format, but I do think the experience would be better if I was reading it in paper rather than clumsily attempting to swipe to the correct page.

Today we have a guest post from romance author Sionna Fox! You can read more about her new book, Bound To, at the bottom of the post. It's a steamy contemporary romance with a kinky nerdy hero and a heroine with anxiety coming to her sexual awakening.

I was very excited to find that Anne Bishop has written a new book in the World of the Others, entitled Lake Silence. It was an auto-buy for me, life stopped while I binge-read it (much to the disgust of my rather spoiled cat) and now I can’t wait to share it with you too.

We're giving away a stack of physical books (US only) and some digital pre-orders (open internationally) in support of the work that Everytown for Gun Safety does and in support of the March for Our Lives today, March 24th.

I’m not sure how to write a review that accurately describes how fun, romantic, and sexy this book is but I’ll give it the old college try. With every book of hers I read I’m falling deeper in love with Talia Hibbert’s writing and A Girl Like Her is a textbook example of why.

Today we're sharing one of Ellie's posts from Ellie Reads All the Books! This post is all about romance novels with older main characters (MCs), a request we see often from Romance Twitter. In her recommendations section, you'll find links to her reviews. Thanks for sharing, Ellie!
