POPULARITY
Notorious Pleasures is the second book in Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series. Elizabeth Hoyt came onto the historical romance scene with her 2006 debut The Raven Prince. She writes strong characters who have opposing ideological centers to generate conflict. Lady Hero, the daughter of a duke, is set to marry Lord Mandeville, Thomas, in an advantageous society marriage. They will consolidate lands and interests and Hero can strengthen his parliamentary position . Her desire to marry Thomas comes about mostly so she can appease her brother, the one who arranged the match. Yet, it's Thomas' brother, Griffin, that catches Hero's eye. The feeling is reciprocated and made all the more complicated by the gossip that Griffin seduced Thomas' first wife.Support us on our Patreon!Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comFollow us on social media:Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBeth's TikTokChels' TikTokEmma's TikTokChels' SubstackEmma's SubstackThank you for listening!

Geheimnisse, Verführung und eine Liebe, für die es sich zu kämpfen lohnt Die Regency Romance-Reihe um vier leidenschaftliche Helden von New York Times Bestseller-Autorin geht weiter
Today, we're reading an absolute romance classic — one of those books everyone tells you is a must read, and one that neither of us had read before the podcast! We're taking a few minutes at the top to admit our mutual folly, though, because Flowers from the Storm is stunning, and we now feel grown up enough to appreciate it. We talk about Quakers, about dogs and kittens and apes, about men with pirate smiles and vengeance in their heart, about thees and thous, about capitalism and happily ever after and about how internal conflict can sometimes be the most difficult hurdle to overcome. Also, we find an undeniable reason to learn trigonometry. Our next read along, and last of the year, will be Roan Parrish's Rend. Get it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books and Kobo. If you want more Fated Mates in your life, please join our Patreon, which comes with an extremely busy and fun Discord community! Join other magnificent firebirds to hang out, talk romance, and be cool together in a private group full of excellent people.

Just ask Britney Spears.People we think have read this: Ruby Dixon, Lisa Kleypas, Kresley Cole, Elizabeth Hoyt, Kerrigan Byrne.People we know have read this: Kate Clayborn (this is her favorite book) and Kennedy Ryan (this is one of her favorite books)The narrator of this audiobook is Nicholas Boulton, and Jen highly recommends it. Let Boulton do all the decoding for you. Here is a short YouTube clip of him talking with Kinsale about reading steam scenes.

Well, listeners, it finally happened to us! Kelsey accidentally recorded with the wrong mic, so while our audio isn't quite the quality you're used to, the content still is! James Trevellion has been Lady Phoebe Batten's bodyguard for almost a year. While his presence seemed just another way for her brother to limit her freedom, she reconsiders his usefulness after he thwarts a kidnapping attempt. While she admits she needs him to keep her safe, she cannot help but feel more interested in him as a man than a guard. James has admired Phoebe from the start but never dreamed she would return his feelings. Yet when Phoebe suddenly kisses him one night, he's faced with a choice: make it clear he is only her brother's employee or give in to his deeper feelings.

Maiden Lane continues to be fluffy, low angst, easy reading *sarcasm ends here*. Kyle and Alf are both very cool characters who maybe don't have the most chemistry? Idk, I'm dreading the next one.
Griffith Stanwick, the second son of a duke, has never much been noticed by his family as anything more than a spare. They turn a blind eye at his rakish ways and have no expectations for him whatsoever. Lady Kathryn Lambert must marry a titled peer to gain her inheritance, but her heart has always tugged her toward her friend's older brother. Nothing is easy though as these two have to fight off thugs, charges of treason, and a Duke's proposal to find their happily ever after!

This Novella is quick and fun, but after so many books of build up we were mostly surprised that Hippolyta Royle is resolved with so little fanfare. It's quick and fun, and over before you know it.
This book is WILD. Val is less morally ambiguous than totally unhinged, which was a unique reading experience to say the least.
Elizabeth Hoyt's take on Christmas is exactly what you'd expect. Equal measures of sex and angst with a smattering of Christmas cheer.
Can the dungeons and dragons morality scale explain our taste in romance heroes? We do our best to explore that in this episode, while talking about the contrast between sexy love stories in angsty world building in this book.

This book is... A LOT. Meg and Laine disagree about some of the finer points, but on the whole it vacillates between a fun ride and a lot of trauma.

Truths Universally Acknowledged: A ‘Courtship’ Recap Podcast
Molly and Emma discuss episode 11 of The Courtship and make their final predictions for the suitor who will ultimately win Nicole's heart. In this episode, one suitor proves himself a true Wickham while another pulls a Mr. Darcy move for the ages. Also of interest: 19th century estate management and the romanticization thereof, the dying gasps of the feudal system, more references to Downton Abbey, rising tensions between handsome men, Molly's healthy fear of and respect for bees, thoughts on goat milking techniques, more praise for the incredible Mrs. Danie Baker, and what happens in the gentleman's parlor does not in fact stay in the gentleman's parlor. Find us on Twitter @truthsunipod @chingonacademic @mjkeran. ****** Romance novels that deal with estate management, agricultural work, and/or tenant relations (a list made with generous help from Molly's friend and fellow book club member Adelaide--thanks!): The Rake by Mary Jo Putney; A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant; The Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas (in fact, many of the books in Kleypas's Ravenels series deal with estate management, the decline of the landowner class, and rise of the industrialist class); Band Sinister by KJ Charles; The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan. A few more not mentioned on the show: In for a Penny by Rose Lerner; The Duke Undone by Joanna Lowell; The Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt; Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas. (Fun fact: Estate management is also a central subject/conflict of the romance novel that Molly is currently writing!)
We kick off our deep dive into Maiden Lane with... the beginning. Lazarus and Temperance felt secondary to world building, but Hoyt delivers on hotness and tragedy, if that's your thing.
Truths Universally Acknowledged: A ‘Courtship’ Recap Podcast
This week, Emma and Molly don't really give the newest suitor on The Courtship a chance. In this episode, we discuss masquerades (both historical and fictional), wonder how many men are too many men, and talk about how much we love lemon cake. Also of interest: 18th century racism, questionable Shakespeare, romance novel recommendations, the Great British Bake Off, Disney princes, eating the rich, and the fact that, contrary to what Joe Jonas might tell you, gin used to be known as the scourge of the British working class. Follow us on Twitter @truthsunipod @mjkeran @chingonacademic. ************************************************* Romance novels mentioned in this episode: An Offer from a Gentleman by Julia Quinn; A Good Debutante's Guide to Ruin by Sophie Jordan; Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean; Maiden Lane (series) by Elizabeth Hoyt; Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade Some other romances featuring masquerade/masking (as suggested on Twitter and by Molly's book club): Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas; Falling into the Bed with a Duke by Lorraine Heath; The Runaway Duchess by Joanna Lowell; Unmasked by the Marquess by Cat Sebastian; My Lady Notorious by Jo Beverly; The Black Hawk by Joanna Bourne; Monsieur X by Adriana Herrera

Hey HBs! This week we've got a fabulously bonkers historical romance, Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt. There's a fancy blackmail-loving duke who's been living in the walls of his house, a housekeeper who's moonlighting in personal espionage, dick-out murders, wrist licking, kidnapping, exhibitionist baths, and SO MUCH MORE. Big Content Warnings: child abuse (sexual, physical, and emotional), rape, pedophilia, animal abuse, and murder. Bonus Content: dusty velvet bows, our adoration for a fancy man, HB's first Admiration Boner, and England Times Lanyards, to name a few. Lady Loves: Erin: Cats. They're for petting and loving and companionship and laughing at them when they try and catch a laser pointer. They're not for murder. Melody: bonkers books in general.

While most people only know about him being the god of wine, which is pretty great on it's own with all the revelry and whatnot, we've recently learned there's so much more. For one thing, Dionysis was associated with rebirth, with grape vines needing to be pruned back dramatically and going dormant in the winter in order to bear fruit again. That's one reason you're so good at pivoting when something doesn't work out. Plus, I don't know if you knew this, but Dionysis invented dolphins. I know, it shocked me, too. So, you've got some unexpected tricks up your sleeve even now.
On This episode of a Corset and Crown - Duchess Katie and Lady Sadie discuss: Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoy
This episode of A Real Bodice Ripper explores The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt. The first in the Princes Trilogy and Hoyt's debut novel, we adored this foray into Georgian England. A heroine who is down on her luck but whose intelligence and resourcefulness lands her a position as the secretary to an ornery yet captivating earl. The earl who needs to continue his bloodline but can't stop thinking about his secretary's erotic mouth. Did we mention there is a sex club where masquerade masks are encouraged? *Swoon* Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter or email us at arealbodiceripper@gmail.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/arealbodiceripper/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/arealbodiceripper/support

Tay and Lydia take on episode 6, “Swish,” of Netflix and Shondaland’s "Bridgerton." Lydia mulls over which piece of music fits the honeymoon episode better, “It Wasn’t Me” by Shaggy or Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” arranged and performed by Duomo. We compare Lady Whistledown in the books vs. the series, question the necessity of the village pig plot line, and delve into a serious discussion of consent and the show’s decision to include a sexual assault scene in the adaptation of the original book.

The episode of Bridgerton where Simon and Daphne have to marry, can’t marry, and then do marry, wouldn’t be complete without an orgy, a big sex ed fail, and more of the Netflix show’s lavish costumes and drama.

It’s the Holidays and the end of 2020 and we don’t really know what’s happening, but Eric is keeping us honest with another AMA! This one was recorded during our Fated States postcard writing party for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock — the Democratic candidates for the Senate Runoff in Georgia — answering reader questions that came in during the live recording! We talk about pen names, working class heroes, whether or not you should DNF books, and Rasputin’s penis. Come back tomorrow for a special treat, and get ready for our first read along of 2021, Alexis Hall’s For Real. Get it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, or Kobo. Show NotesOne more phone banking opportunity for the Georgia Senate runoff is coming up on January 4, 2021 from 5-7 central. Join us!You should watch Drunk Romance History on Andie's Instagram.If you want more romance novels made into TV shows, you should watch Virgin River and Bridgerton. But everyone is watching Bridgerton, so that's great. Jen thinks you should DNF. We rattled off a bunch of historical romances with working heroes. Dreaming of You, of course, and American-set historicals, like Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. In England, A Matter of Disagreement by EE Ottoman, The Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem by Manda Collins, Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt, The Lawrence Browne Affair by Cat Sebastian, Honeytrap by Glen Aster Gray. Almost every KJ Charlesbook would qualify, as well as many by Sophie Jordan and Anne Mallory. Also, don't forget Sarah's Bareknuckle Bastards series. Annika Martin writes all the best bananas books. Rachel Hawkins is writing contemporary adult witches under the name Erin Sterling. Some historicals with characters from Imperial Russia? That's tough, but Sarah suggests the Stokehurst Duology from Lisa Kleypas, the first is Midnight Angel. And if you have kids interested in this time period, check out The Family Romonov by Candace Fleming. There is nothing about Rasputin's penis in that book, be assured.
Today’s guest is Minerva Spencer, author of the new historical romance series Rebels of the Ton. This series is a spin off of her previous series, The Outcasts.

Hoyt's new release is a relatively low-angst, high-lust tale that checks a whole lot of our boxes: married early in the text, competency porn, and baths. We really enjoyed this one!
~ This episode originally aired December 2019 ~ Join us this week for a relisten of last year's Christmas episode, because it's that special time of year where you spend time with loved ones...or with a family you happen to come across when your carriage breaks down in a snowstorm with Grandma inside! Even if you’re like our hero Adam and not that into Christmas, it’s hard not to find joy from an almost-kiss while hunting down holly for the Christmas Ball. Or better yet - from a bit of action under the stairs while everyone else is occupied with parlor games! Miss Sarah St. John is about to learn that the best-made plans don’t always come to be - sometimes you can try to push away any and all rakes and a snowstorm will just blow a silver-tongued charmer into your home! Elizabeth Hoyt’s Once Upon a Christmas Eve is a festive novella that seems just right for a bit of holiday reading by the fire. **Spoilers all the way!**

We read one of the best books of modern fairy tale retellings: The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter.Mentioned in this ep:Snow White, Blood Red edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri WindlingMovie: ApostleThe Girl from Raw Blood and Little Eve by Catriona WardThe Blue Salt Road and A Pocketful of Crows by M Joanne Harris " Snow Glass Apples " by Neil GaimanThe Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie PopeThe romance novels of Elizabeth Hoyt
Meg and Laine talk about virgin heroes, the naivety of Lois Lane, and the appropriate use of gritty origin stories (Laine attests they should not be brought up during a sex interlude).
No one's first novel should be this good. Lust, agnst, and Mr. Hopple's vests combine to make a story we are very much here for. A few trigger warnings, but no more than we've come to expect from Hoyt. On the flip side, this book is somehow even sexier that we've come to expect from Hoyt.
It’s officially December, so we’re going full-holiday on you all! That special time of year where you spend time with loved ones...or with a family you happen to come across when your carriage breaks down in a snowstorm with Grandma inside! Even if you’re like our hero Adam and not that into Christmas, it’s hard not to find joy from an almost-kiss while hunting down holly for the Christmas Ball. Or better yet - from a bit of action under the stairs while everyone else is occupied with parlor games! Miss Sarah St. John is about to learn that the best-made plans don’t always come to be - sometimes you can try to push away any and all rakes and a snowstorm will just blow a silver-tongued charmer into your home! Elizabeth Hoyt’s Once Upon a Christmas Eve is a festive novella that seems just right for a bit of holiday reading by the fire. **Spoilers all the way!**

Laine and Meg talk about sexy consent, sexy violence, and our lines when it comes to sexual violence in romance.
Meg and Laine talk about hulking dudes, dirty talk, and big, thick Minotaurs.
Happy What the February?! listeners! In this, the most romantic of months, listen in as I, MArgie, tell Rachel about Elizabeth Hoyt's The Raven Prince. While this book breaks some barriers in terms of romance age range and having characters who have had their virgin barriers broken, it still has some very outdated superhero rules and miscommunication mayhem. Enjoy!

I wax philosophical today, talking about how to work with the creative self and how it's like training a puppy.

March 17th, 2018: Things are crazy in romancelandia this week (wait, when aren’t they?!). Racism, crossing boundaries, and publisher closing, oh my! I’m also talking about the books I read – Elizabeth Hoyt and Dria Andersen -- as well as what I'm reading this weekend (Susan Cliff, Talia Hibbert, and Jeaniene Frost). Come tell me about your week and what you’re reading at the moment!
We're joined this week by Kelly Bowen who is the RITA award winning author of historical romance including her Lords of Worth series, A Season for Scandal series, and her new Devils of Dover series. We discuss her new release (A Duke in the Night), her background in agriculture, and which body part was most crucial in selecting the cover of her latest book. To find out more about Kelly and her books, you can check out her website or follow her on Twitter or Facebook. Ways to listen: Highlights from our conversation include: How she ended up reading her very first romance novel. Why working on farms meant that she didn't feel any shame about the sex in romance novels. The fabulously varied educational and work backgrounds of romance authors. How her degrees in veterinary physiology and veterinary endocrinology have impacted her. Her (sometimes hilarious) experiences in the male dominated field of agriculture--and how she enjoyed and was challenged by it. How she parents her boys to have a healthy view towards women. How the guys from the barn have been supportive and are a positive group to work with. Why she loves the editing process and working with a team in publishing. All about her new release, A Duke in the Night. Margaret Anne Buckley who pretended to be a man and became a doctor. Forearm porn and gorgeous cover models. When King will be getting his own book. Her adorable foster dog. The variations of the cover of A Duke in the Night that we discussed: Books mentioned in this episode: A Duke in The Night by Kelly Bowen Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Devereaux The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt
Unsafe sex in romancelandia, don't kill of previous heroes, and problematic sh*t, plus recent posts on the blog. I also talk about books from Avon Gale/Piper Vaughn, Elizabeth Hoyt, and Talia Hibbert.
Confusing blurbs, diversity IS realistic, and recent reviews on the blog. I also talk about books from Jennifer Gracen, Katy Evans, Kresley Cole, and Elizabeth Hoyt.
Fun, laughs, stories and happily ever after! 15 minutes of feeling good and learing about great books! And when Elizabeth Hoyt drops in, all bets are off (and no topics are forbidden) but one thing is certain, only Ms. Hoyt can get me to forget we're live on the air...and get into a world of trouble! www.elizabethhoyt.com
