We talked about THEIF OF SHADOWS in Maquerades and Books We Love With Tropes We Don’t. We talk about Talia Hibbert a lot. Sierra Simone joined us to talk about Pegging in Romance in season two and IAD in season one. Alexis Hall comes up frequently, notably in our deep dive of For Real. We discuss Lorraine Heath all the time, including in our Waking Up with the Duke deep dive. We like Amalie Howard’s books and picked one as a best romance novel of 2019. We covered Scarlett Peckham’s books in Mistresses, Courtesans, and Cheating and Weddings in Romance.
