Hey HBs! We're back with another book we didn't know was part 1 of a 4 part series with the same couple. WHOOPS, but no regrets. BENEATH BLACK SAILS by Clare Sager is a historical fantasy pirate adventure with a famous pirate queen and the pirate hunter sent to take her down. This heroine is brash and fun and we can't get enough of her.

Bonus Content: we're hot messes who got suckered!, this dedication slayed us, this took Mel back to Dangerous Tides, he's the epitome and she's the definition, Sabrina drops the beans, Valor is the main character in all our stories, we're gonna riot, and so much more!

Lady Loves:

Sabrina: super duper freezing cold water. 'Tis the season!!!

Mel: THE BLACK ROSE AUCTION Kickstarter by Bonkers Romance! I decided to step away from the project this year, but Jenny and Katee have done AMAZING things with this collection of books! Each one is a fairytale retelling set at an illicit, underground auction and, y'all, they've leveled up. The art, swag, and book design are so sleek and classy, and the tagline "morally gray and getting darker" makes me drool. You have to check it out! It launches tomorrow, June 4th, so don't miss it!

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!
