Here we are, at the end of another month in the year that is both speeding by and lasting forever. Pretty much the only thing helping us keep it together right now is smut, so without further ado, here were our favorites this month:

Holly’s Choice: Paradise Cove by Jenny Holiday
This book is so, so good. She is recommending it to everyone.
Erin’s Choice: Break the Rules by Roxie Noir
This book made Erin cheer. It might make you cheer too.
Ingrid’s Choice: Refuge by Willa J. Brand
This book was tightly written and had great suspense. Read when you’re in the mood for a page-turner.
Other things we got up to this month:
- We talked about the Best Friend’s Sibling Trope, and what we liked (and didn’t like) about it.
- We got the details on the first smut experiences of several romance authors, including Hallie Alexander, Carla R., Rosanna Leo, Ashton Abbott, and, earlier today, Elva Birch. (We are really enjoying hearing everyone’s smut stories, so if you’d like to share yours, let us know!)
- Erin talked about nuance
- And then Erin yelled about Dancing Lessons
Some books to look forward to next month:

Look. At. All. That. Delicious. SMUT!
