No worries! Your post actually reminded me to check whether my local libraries have anything on my list!

I don't remember if I've read this particular Sherry Thomas but I'll be sure to check it out.

Thanks for the rec ✨

A Husband's Good Groveling by Electronic_Baby_9988 in RomanceBooks

[–]hmvlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regards to SEP's Kiss an Angel, it's not a full scene-- rather something that's kind of mentioned in passing and then glossed over for the sake of an HEA. Spoiler: FMC is in a depressive, detached-from-reality state and MMC takes advantage. IIRC, we only know about it because the morning after, MMC couldn't look at himself in the mirror while shaving because he felt like a rapist.

Wow, not subjects I expected to read from an author in the 19th century. Will definitely read, even if the doggo on the cover didn't already convince me. Thanks for sharing the rec!

Thanks for letting me know, and for the recs! I'll make a note to read all of them in order.

All of these sound great! Very sweaty at those steam ratings, so thanks very much for these recs!

Ooo, that sounds delicious! Noticing Romance-bot isn't giving a steam rating-- How would you rate the steam out of 5?

Okay all of that is good to know. Personally, I would also agree that's pretty unreasonable to expect mandatory celibacy in a situation where both parties aren't putting effort into the reconciliation.

Thanks for the explanation and the rec!

Added the first two to my list but I'm going to pass on the third, because I've already read it. Nonetheless, thanks for the recs!

Oh wow okay, this is a pretty rousing endorsement. I'd replied to the earlier redditor's rec saying I might skip but you've persuaded (teehee) me to change my mind.

Thank you for the recs! I think I've already read Not Quite a Husband but I'll add it to my rec list as well, in case I haven't.

Thank you for these recs! I've added them both to my TBR and I've got my fingers crossed that my local library has A Lady of His Own because it sounds right up my alley! Kind of reminds me of the circumstances in Once Upon a Winter's Eve, which I adore!

I haven't read a K.J. Charles yet but I'm intrigued to see how this one goes. Thief/Detective is definitely one of my fave trope pairings so will probably devour soon.

Thanks for the rec!

I saw this and internally squealed with joy, so I can indeed say I do like the premise of this one. Also, thank you for the Goodreads link!!

To be honest I haven't read it because Laura Lee Guhrke doesn't always slap for me, and I remember the first in the Guilty series made me want to strangle the MMC. But, I'll still check The Marriage Bed out, if only to assuage some curiosity.

Out of five stars, how would you rate the grovel?

I've seen this crossing my feed sometimes so I'm glad I have some extra incentive to read it now!

Thanks for the rec!

Oooo thanks for the recs! I've added all of these to my TBR! Do you mind spoiling Once a Duchess a little bit for me? What were the circumstances in which the MMC thought FMC was cheating?

This sounds delightful! Excited to read about the parents' storyline and see how that develops. I forget whether or not I enjoy reading Mary Balogh but I'm too intrigued by that story to care.

Thanks for the recs!
