hey 🌶️📚 feed! a few weeks ago I added a bunch of hashtags to this feed in addition to the 🌶️📚 code so it's now pulling from #romantasy #romancebook etc. i was hoping it would increase engagement on the feed but it has not particularly. do you guys like the change or want it to go back to just 🌶️📚?

I enjoy Susan Meissner's historical fiction, and this one was a good read - especially since I was just in New York City. And while not genre romance, this one had just enough of a hint of HEA to feel satisfying. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Lynn Spencer's review of A Fall of Marigolds

4/5: I've been slowly working my way through Susan Meissner's backlist, and she's definitely becoming something of a go-to author for me. This story has dual timelines that are held together not only ...

I’d been in denial. My best friend had shed his humanity a long time ago. I’d just been too caught up in my own pain to see it. I knew what my vote would be. For his crimes, I'd take him to the river. 📖: Her Mercy, Chapter 16 is up now 🔗 #DarkRomance #MafiaRomance #TouchHerAndDie #FamilySaga

Question for #booksky & #smutsky: At what point do you still count a DNF as read? Because tech you did read it but just didn't finish it. 2/3 is my personal "it still counts toward my goal" level.

The Little Death is now officially Barium Certified! (It sold 56 copies) An award I definitely made up. And because I can't let a joke go until I've hammered it into the ground, I made a graphic. Cover art by @meowlayn.bsky.social #Romancelandia #PNR

I made a little virtual sticker award for my book, The Little Death. Its a round medallion made of a silvery gray color with darker gray accents. It reads "Barium Certified" with the atomic symbol, Ba, for Barium in the center. Mina straddles Lucifer as he holds her. His black wings are spread, keeping them aloft above lava. The night sky is behind them. Luci is wearing all black. Mina is wearing a blue dress that flows behind her. It’s truly gorgeous artwork by the very talented Meowlayn.

My steamy Regency romp Springtime Pleasures is currently free on all retailers! If you like unconventional heroines and heroes troubled by the past, then this book is for you! You'll also get wild boars and highwaymen. buy.bookfunnel.com/avwi2wh6th

A trope teaser image for Sandra Schwab's historical romance Springtime Pleasures. In the middle is the cover of the novel, showing a smiling young woman with wavy brown hair. She is being half embraced by a nice looking guy whose shirt is sadly slipping off his very nice, muscular shoulder. The cover is surrounded by the tropes from the novel, with arrows pointing toward them: wild boars, highwaymen (not the dashing kind, hero troubled by the past, a crocodile (kind of), very tall heroine, kidnapping a viscount, she saves him!

43rd read: The Prospects by K.T. Hoffman The greatness snuck up on me. When Gene and Luis confronted their feelings, this book soared. Gene is his team's heart, and it felt so affirming for a trans man to fill this role in a men-only profession. 5/5 stars #Booksky #Romancelandia

Book cover for The Prospects by K.T. Hoffman

The illustrated cover shows two men in Beaverton uniforms on a baseball field celebrating their win. Luis lifts Gene up in the air.

Still no title for this book I’m working on, but here are some tropes while I work my way through yet another revision 🥴 (PS: I’ll be looking for beta readers when this round of revising is done!) #romancelandia #mmromance #booksky

a background that looks like wrinkled paper. on top are two photos. one is a photo of a red headed man facing away from the camera with a forest in the background and is labeled Cam. and the other is of a different man’s face in shadow and is labeled Ryan. he has a dark brown beard. there are two text boxes. one has an arrow pointing to Cam and says “he’s searching for the truth.” another arrow points to Ryan saying “he’s running from it.” in the other text box is a list of tropes: forced proximity, age gap, hockey adjacent, hurt/comfort, grumpy/sunshine, and too hot to cuddle?

a post from Tumblr that reads:
REVERSE TROPE WRITING PROMPTS
• Too many beds
• Accidentally kidnapping a mafia boss
• Really nice guy who hates only you
• Academic rivals except it's two teachers who compete to have the best class
• Divorce of convenience
• Too much communication
• True hate's kiss (only kissing your enemy can break a curse)
• Dating your enemy's sibling
• Lovers to enemies
• Hate at first sight
• Love triangle where the two love interests get together instead
• Fake amnesia
• Soulmates who are fated to kill each other
• Strangers to enemies
• Instead of fake dating, everyone is convinced that you aren't actually dating
• Too hot to cuddle
• Love interest CEO is a himbo/bimbo who runs their company into the ground
• Nursing home au

this is almost the same as the first image, but the text boxes have been swapped out and replaced with photos. one is a small cabin in the forest and the other is a wood carved bear statue holding a welcome sign

A sneak peek at The Quickening, which is coming soon. My author’s proofs arrived today, a little rough from their misadventure. But the cover looks great! I'll let you know when I have a release date scheduled. Artwork by @meowlayn.bsky.social #ParadiseOurs #Romancelandia #PNR

Over a background layer from the cover of The Quickening provided by Meowlayn, text reads: The Quickening She stole his cowboy hat and put it on her own head. He smiled like he already knew what she was about to say. “One night, Oscar. That’s all I am promising.” “Yippee!” He stood up, and she had to hold the hat on as she tilted her head to look up at him. “You look mighty cute in that.” He stepped closer to her, then caged her in with his arms. His face hovered in front of hers before he headbutted his cowboy hat off her head and kissed her.

The front cover of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. There is a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blazer. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare. Text above them reads, "Susan Beth Cole." Across the bottom is reads, "The Quickening: A Paradises Ours Novel Book 2"

The full cover spread of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. A purple moon hangs behind a throne carved of stone. That sits above a field of jagged rocks and lava. There are mountains against the horizon. Stars and souls scatter the purple sky that transitions to a reddish hue closest to the mountains. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blazer. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare.

Review ❤️ Duke and Lady Scandal by Christy Carlyle - Smitten by Books

Alexandra Prince is clever, outspoken, and, yes, perhaps a bit impulsive. Yet she’s always been overshadowed by her siblings. While they are off on adventurous expeditions
