Hey HBs! We're here with the contemporary Scottish romance ON DUBLIN STREET by Samantha Young! It's Edinburgh, it's family tragedy, it's basing life decisions on great bathtubs. There's an emotionally skittish heroine, an alpha hero who's eight years older, a friends-with-benefits arrangement, and a little too much boundary pushing for Mel's complete comfort. And we knew this before, but we pinpoint one of the ways subgenre impacts reader expectations!
Bonus Content: eyeball cupcakes, trip planning, Veronica's Dragon, Mel's a hypocrite, subgenre matters, Sabrina's gets caught being a creepy old lady at the car wash, never meet a mortal man, tackling with blow job jokes, alphas with emotional intelligence, and Anirbas makes her glorious return!
Lady Loves:
Sabrina: Gatorade in tiny bottles! It stays super cold the whole time she's drinking it, which is delicious!
Melody: the nostalgia-fest of Two Friends Big Bootie Mixes! Listening to volume 11 facilitated the best workout class she's had in a long time!

Wooo! HBs we're here with book 1 of the Victorian Rebels series, THE HIGHWAYMAN by Kerrigan Byrne. We loooooved this book! As Sabrina is a longtime Kerrigan Byrne fangirl, it's not a shock. We've got a childhood-spouses-to-lovers book that knocked our socks off! But yikes, it gets dark.
Lady Loves:
Sabrina: if you're lonely, but don't have anyone around physically, get on a video call and play video games parallel to each other!
Mel: find the light in the dark when you can! Turns out, the best way to help midnight sobbing is Lemur Time.

Hey HBs! In this episode, Sabrina and Mel recap DEATH'S OBSESSION by Avena St. Graves. It's a dark, paranormal, stalker romance that gave us KING OF FLESH AND BONE, SING ME TO SLEEP, and SOUL EATER vibes. Overall, they enjoyed the experience, but were generally underwhelmed. But! They talk a lot about reader "meters" and it's appropriately scientific and straightforward. During the episode, Sabrina's three pooches are competing in some serious doggy Olympics in the background, so there will be a bit of ambient noise, but we have to respect these athletes and their tenacity.
Bonus Content: Mel's still in a Theodora Taylor hole, our Smut Meters are broken, Smut Meter vs. Butterflies Meter vs. Shock Meter, this is a Shadow Daddy book, breakup semantics, sneeze feats, "dress me, daddy," dark tunnels, analog text responses, and so much more!
Lady Loves:
Sabrina: treat yourself to a shrimp boil for one! It doesn't have to be a social thing!
Mel: have yourself a good ol' fashioned Law & Order SVU marathon, or whatever is your equivalent to a show that feels like coming back to an old friend. It's great background noise while you do other things!

Hey HBs! We're here to recap JUST FOR THE CAMERAS by Viano Oniomoh! It's a fluffy contemporary with delicious and supported sex work, amazing communication, a sad sad Sebastian boy, best friendship goals, and an MMF menage that made us feel all gooey and sparkly inside.
