Steamy Recs October 2023

Hi Wild Ones! So much here for you to pick from. This month had some very unexpected down time. I spent half the time reading, and the other half catching up on movies.

Kushiel’s Justice by Jacqueline Carey

Amazon (print, audiobook, and ebook)* ~ Apple (ebook, audiobook) ~ Barnes & Noble (ebook, audiobook, and print) ~ Google (ebook and audiobook) ~ Kobo (ebook)

This is the second book in the Imriel trilogy, Kushiel’s Legacy. It’s a long, detailed look at love, duty, and what we owe ourselves when it comes to making choices for our lives. There’s a lot of adventure here, but it also gets really heavy in the way that Carey does so well. The story got so deep, and I loved all the introspection. I always enjoy visiting this world, and I enjoyed this book, too.

The King’s Delight by Sarah Honey

Amazon (print and ebook)*

A fun, light, kinky royal romance that was so cute I just breezed through it. I really enjoyed Leo and Felix, and they kept me company on my lunchtime reads for a few days.

Red, White & Royal Blue

Amazon Original Video

I laughed, I swooned, I cried. I really enjoyed this one a lot. It was everything I wanted in a gay rom-com, or just a rom-com period. I wound up loving Alex and Henry and when I started I wasn’t really expecting that. Definitely recommended if you’re looking for the warm fuzzies.

Bros

Amazon Original Video

And then I watched Bros, which couldn’t have been more different, but was also perfect. It’s full of queer history and lived experience and the awkwardness of finding someone who’s nothing like what you thought you were going to find. I deeply loved them in the end for all their realness. Definitely recommend watching.

Love Again

Amazon Original Video

After that came Love Again, which went how I thought it would in some ways but was still a heartfelt revelation on love and loss. Prianka Chopra was so beautiful to watch. I could look at her face all day. And it reminded me how much I do love Celine Dion. Compelling and unexpectedly witty.
