I'm recommending a novella today. 56 pages of cute

I'm recommending a novella today. 56 pages of cuteness, superpowers, and kidnapping (again). We get such fun names as Terrorantula for the villain, and an extremely matter of fact attitude about a superpowered world. Jamie is The Hero's intern and spends all day answering the Heroic Help Hotline, when the flavor of the week villain isn't snatching him. But the latest villain's apprentice is kinda hot, and really cool, and when Jamie wants to hang out with him outside of work that should be fine...right?

Jessica Lack (of The Book Smugglers blog) published this in 2016 and I think I found it through fanfiction recs? However I found it, I loved it. And I can definitely say it influenced my inspiration to write my own superpower world. The blasé attitude towards kidnapping as a job hazard just threw my imagination into overdrive 😂 and I ran with it. I'm so grateful for this novella and definitely recommend it if you want something fast and adorable.

(ID: a cartoon style cover shows two stylized characters in the midst of a fight, while two teenage looking boys stand in the background, seeming uncomfortable. Red streaks and a blue cape fill the foreground. The title is Superior, by Jessica Lack.)

Happy Sunday bookworms! I've not got much today, j

Happy Sunday bookworms!
I've not got much today, just a bullet point list about why you should read Two Rogues Make a Right.
📚 Cat Sebastian. Read, love, re-read.
📚 Super soft kindly kidnapping
📚 Mutual pining
📚 Oblivion to totally requited feelings
📚 More fluff than plot (as a big fan of fluff, this is a + for me).
📚 Friends to lovers in the peaceful, quiet countryside
📚 Death by casual affection
📚 #Hurt/comfort
If any of these things butter your bread, this Cat Sebastian is for you. Why not just pick up the entire Seducing the Segewicks series while you're at it? #EnablingModeActivated

(ID: The cover of Two Rogues Make a Right by Cat Sebastian, featuring two gentlemen in period dress sitting close together on the grass. Their heads are close together and they are smiling into each other's eyes in what this reader considers to be peak adorableness.)

And for my first post I thought I'd go with something both nice and strange. For your consideration I present: soft submissive Liam who denies his nature Very Hard and Stern Brunch Daddy Ondry who will make him treat himself with kindness and listen to his own body's needs. Even if it means putting Liam on a literal leash. And yes, there's also tail play. This one was a 4 star read for me. Ondry's gentle treatment and sincere care for all aspects of his partner (emotional, mental, physical) are so sweet. And the Rownt language/world is incredibly detailed.

Brief synopsis: "Liam loves his life as a linguist and trader on the Rownt homeworld, but he has ignored his heart and sexual needs for years. He won’t risk letting anyone see his deeply submissive nature. For him, submission comes with pain. Life burned that lesson into his soul from a young age.

This fear keeps him from noticing that the Rownt trader Ondry cares for him. Ondry may not understand humans, but he recognizes a wounded soul, and his need to protect Liam is quickly outpacing his common sense. They may have laws, culture, and incompatible genitalia in their way, but Ondry knows that he can find a way to overcome all that if he can just gain Liam's trust."

My first proper poly romance! I'm already a fan of

My first proper poly romance! I'm already a fan of reverse harem but the ones I read are mostly alien or shifter romance and I think the dynamics will be different. I'm interested to see what stays the same and what makes a contemporary poly unique from shifter reverse harem. (It's sometimes very hard to turn off that inner author/editor while reading. I can't make it stop 😂). So yes I'll be bringing an academic mindset to a setting which contains intimate toys. I might even end up making a similarities and differences chart. And I know the rest of you get it. Isn't Romancelandia a wonderful place?

(ID: the blue cover of Be Mine by Savannah J Frierson, with the title spelled out in bright pink text. A blue bookmark and assorted greenery surround the bright pop of the cover.)

Before 2020 I didn't know Cat Sebastian books exis

Before 2020 I didn't know Cat Sebastian books existed, but I have #Bookstagram as always to thank for fixing this lack in my life. What would I do without you all? I'd never squeal out loud in the thrift store and scare passerby when I found that one stepback. I wouldn't be aware of the kinky demon sex which is Immortals After Dark (and this would be a shame). I wouldn't have the anticipation of eight hundred new releases coming soon from newly discovered favorite authors like Cat Sebastian. And I wouldn't be desperately searching for a philosopher's stone or reasonable equivalent to become immortal and *possibly* stand a chance of getting through my TBR. My life would be infinitely poorer if I'd never found the beautiful chaos known as Romancelandia.
📚
If you haven't tried a Cat Sebastian Sedgwick novel yet, jump in! The first one (It Takes Two to Tumble) is just packed with adorable fluff. This one covers some heavier, more serious themes but there are lovely themes of emotion, consent, and safety which balance them out.

(ID: the earth toned cover of A Gentleman Never Keeps Score by Cat Sebastian. Two men in historical dress are caught in an intimate moment, softly touching one another. A brown sparkly envelope, dark brown glass candle, and assorted greenery surround the book.)

I am a huge sucker for Hades & Persephone retellin

I am a huge sucker for Hades & Persephone retellings. When I found out about another author doing one you'd better believe I one-clicked so fast! Everything about this dark modern retelling sounded like something I wanted to read. A casino cirque? Yep. Zeus is the bad guy? DEFINITELY. Trans aerialist performer Persephone? Give it to me. Finding out RM Virtues is a fellow author from Nevada was a wonderful surprise, I'm always excited to find another romance author here. (Shhhh, yes, Carson City is a ten hour drive from Las Vegas. Hush. I can have RM's back in spirit and I can buy all of his books.) A fan of the underdog, the antihero, and the morally grey is always going to have my unequivocal support. And RM's website says Aphrodite and Haphaestus are next ARE YOU KIDDING ME with the greatness. Please now take my monies 🖤

(ID: the black cover of Drag Me Up by RM Virtues, featuring artistically falling black and gold playing cards. The cover text is elegant gold. Please ignore this reader's smudgy tablet surface and fall in love with this sharp modern cover anyway.)
