Hi Wild Ones! I’m sad to say I haven’t finished one damn romance book this whole month! I have two that I’m in the middle of, one audiobook and one paper book. I haven’t finished either. But I do have a romance TV rec! (along with half the population, probably, lol)

Steamy Recs March & April 2024

Hi Wild Ones! Time got away from me and I didn’t make a recs post in March! I finished out the main Scientific Universe series, and enjoyed it. I even started a side series with many of the same characters, which I’m also enjoying.

I’ve decided to stop including multiple store links for these posts. I think it’s a service to my readers, but it takes a lot of work to track them all down, and I just don’t have the time to do it. So going forward I’ll just post the title and author, and I’ll let you find the store that best suits you to buy it from. 🙂

Steamy Recs February 2024

Hi Wild Ones! This was a month for epic fantasy (Kushiel’s Mercy), and books with a polyamorous leaning (the Scientific Method series). Actually, they both have a polyam element, even though it’s extremely mild and very background in Kushiel’s Mercy. But Love as Thou Wilt is a core tenant of the world of Terre d’Ange, and they mean it. It’s one of the things I love about that series.

Hi Wild Ones! Didn’t get a whole lot read in January, but this was really good.

Take Three Breaths by Kris Ripper

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

Continuing The Scientific Method series with this MMM novella, which doesn’t really have anything to do with science (the name is explained in book 1). Even more than the first two books, this one delves deep and heavy. But it brings the boys closer together, even though it’s a bit rough along the way. I liked that they were closer at the end.

Trigger Warning: Suicide (side character) and depression (main character).

Steamy Recs December 2023

Hi Wild Ones! This is way late, but I read some great stuff that I wanted to pass on to you, so I’m doing it now.

Catalysts by Kris Ripper

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

I enjoyed Book Boyfriend so much that I went looking for more Kris Ripper to read. I found this delightful gem of a series, and I’m so glad I did. It has so many of the things I love in romance. It’s highly kinky, and very polyamorous. There are some queer relationships, some straight ones, all kinds of different characters, and they all support each other. I’ve always loved books and series that do that. I know the thought with publishing is to group all your similar characters into a series by themselves (all the gay men in this series, all the fem doms in that series, or even totally separate them out by pen name) but that doesn’t feel real to me. The joined approach feels more natural, when there are all kinds of people living and getting along together. I dug into the first few books right away. And hey, the first one is free so I added it to my page of recommended free books! Catalysts is MMM, and follows Will as he comes to grips with his bisexual and kinky nature. His journey is written carefully and I loved it.

Unexpected Gifts by Kris Ripper

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

This is book two of The Scientific Method series, and it features Will and the woman who captures his heart. And the struggles he has with that. One thing to note about this series is that it doesn’t shy away from difficult topics. At all. They all wrestle with their inner demons, and talk about it, and get stronger along the way. That’s one of the things that makes the books so good.

Candy Cane Kisses: A Holiday Anthology edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

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

A collection of mostly sweet holiday romance short stories that I really enjoyed. At least, the ones that I got through. I didn’t get through the whole book, but I’m going to save it for next year when I’m in the mood for holiday romance again. But I’m sure the second half will be as good as the first half. They were all great, but here’s the ones that stood out to me:

Ice Dancing and Crab Apple Sorbet by Melissa Yi – a story of two figure skaters trying to make a relationship work in the spotlight. It reminded me of the movie The Cutting Edge, but it was its own story. It packed a lot of history into one short story, and was very well done.

A Little More Aloha by Julia Vee – a fun visit to Hawaii.

Trapped Between Book Lovers by Stefon Mears – as a book lover who loves used bookstores, I loved this story!

She Wanted It to Be Perfect by Ron Collins – a touching FF romance with a bit of science fiction.

Love Hard

Netflix Original Video

This was a really fun Christmas holiday rom-com. The characters were fun, the romance felt fresh to me, I laughed, and wound up really rooting for them at the end. It even poked at some really common rom-com tropes it a way that felt so interesting. I enjoyed it a lot.

Hi Wild Ones! Here’s one for those of you who like edgy kink!

On Kink’s Edge by M.C. Roth

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

I loved the edgy nature of this story. Sometimes “regular” kink just isn’t enough and you want to push the envelope – just like Keady does. The story took an unpredictable path – as indicated by the title – but had a lovely ending. If you like your kink “out there” you’ll enjoy this one.

I got the book through a Booksprout review offer, but I genuinely enjoyed the book.

Training His Human by Renee Rose

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

The third in the Zandian Masters series, which I’m still enjoying. It’s full of yummy sex, like the other books, with a good relationship that develops between Seke and Leora. It’s still primarily an erotic romance story, but the plot still continues to develop.

Carnal Nights by Pinky Cockburn

Amazon (ebook)*

For those looking for MMF menage with some D/S in a quick read, this is it! It was short, hot, and left me thinking about the three of them after. I liked the premise that brought them together, that Cecelia is a travel writer who happens upon a rock concert that changes her life. The rock star angle was handled nicely, and a bit different than I expected. Fun read. It is a Kindle Unlimited book if you have that.


His Human Slave by Renee Rose

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

This is the start to the Zandian Masters series, in which a group of alien men each acquires their own human female slave. In this one Lamira is purchased for the purpose of breeding. Of course she’s reluctant in the beginning, but Zander wins her over by the end! Rose is known for her spanking stories, and this one is no exception. It was hot and fun (basically erotica with romantic leanings and the start of a plot I think will go through the whole series), and I enjoyed what Rose did with Lamira’s character. It does have some non-consensual elements to it (due to that slavery aspect), so reader beware.


His Human Prisoner by Renee Rose

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

I enjoyed the first one so much I read the second one! This one is a little different in that Lily isn’t Rok’s slave, she’s his prisoner. But lots of yummy sex still happens. And the plot from the first book develops more in this one, as the characters from the first book appear in this one and continue to grow.
