Trys Gretos Brigitos rekomendacijos. Pirmoji knyga - amerikiečių rašytojos Victoria Helen Stone trileris ‚‚Aš, Džeinė”. Ši knyga Gretai Brigitai įdomi pasirodė dėl pasakojimo apie psichopatę - Džeinę. Kūrinyje su kaupu sarkazmo ir tamsaus humoro, skaitytojams, kuriems toks stilius patinka.
It's 80's Murder Night with the author of LAST ONE HOME. Victoria talks about the intersection of unlikeable heroines, unreliable narrators and deep POV. But mostly I just tell her things I loved about my book and she asks "is that a question." It's good stuff.
We’re back to a more recent book that taught Sarah about contemporary romance, Victoria Dahl’s Taking the Heat. Use headphones for this one, because we’re talking about the best BJs in romance, the power of a great sex scene, and how we want you all to be in a sex pantheon. We’re also talking about flawed characters, true cinnamon rolls, and why Victoria Dahl is a fricken great author.We love having you with us! — subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform and like/review the podcast, please!In two weeks, we’re reading Sandra Brown! Jen and Sarah will be reading Texas! Chase, but it’s dealers’ choice! Pick your favorite old Sandra Brown or ask us for a rec on Twitter or Instagram! Maybe you want That Rana Look?

Jen rediscovered contemporary romance with the Tumble Creek series, and also the Fast Track series by Erin McCarthy.Gabe's job was to introduce eBooks to the library. We've come a long way, baby.Jackson, Wyoming is the setting of this book, and apparently there's a lot to do there -- like skiing and rock climbing. It's all outdoorsy, so we can't really speak to it.The big city to small town trope is a cornerstone of romance. It's just not a corner we visit that often.The advice columnist is experiencing a huge resurgence these days, and in the age of the internet, everyone can give advice.Some useful resources if someone you know is sharing their thoughts of suicidal ideation.That Elizabeth Hoyt book with Winter Makepeace is called Thief of Shadows, and it also has a great blow job scene. In case you're into that sort of thing.Watch the Ending of Crocodile Dundee if you've never had the pleasure.If you are looking to try a new podcast app, we both love Overcast. Along with being a great listening device, you can use it to find and share any podcast clips online!Preorder Daring and the Duke!

Chase, which believe it or not isn't on Kindle, but it is on audio! We'll also post a thread of some other Sandra Brown favorites.
