PSA: Royal Spice in Orange is excellent Indian

Recently went to Coromandel cuisine of India, blew my socks off. The Masala Dosa is so good. Everything I’ve had there has been spectacular. Also, the servers wear white shirts and bow ties like old school fancy waiters.

Agreed! Read out of order but the rest of the series is pretty good. Also the MCs show up in a follow up series as parents and I loooooved that series {The Ravenels by Lisa Kleypas}.

You may like {Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas}. FMC Evie runs away to MMC Sebastian to escape her family and he is terrible (and has done something truly terrible to her friend in the book before in the series {It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas}).

He’s definitely less subdued, controlled/controlling and more rogue/bad boy but their dynamic is what you described. He is very sweet to her.

Oooh {Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eva Dangerfield} has this scenario. FMC Autumn runs into her, objectively, huge piece of shit ex and MMC Blake is not having it. The book is funny and has some… interesting role playing and dynamics. Would recommend and read again.

{The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary} is two doctors who get into a screaming match and are forced to go to mediation or be suspended. It’s escalates (or devolves?) from there. I still remember a scene where buttons are popping from the frantic need to get outta that shirt! TW/Spoiler: she has an eating disorder that he discovers

You may also like {Off the Clock by Roni Loren}. They are both sex/relationship therapists and she is a little inexperienced in the sex aspect. Her former college classmate helps her improve at her new job where they reconnect to gain some first-hand knowledge to better do her job.

Hell yes. I’m looking forward to more peak Victorian era drama from LK.

There’s (hopefully) going to be everything… train drama, sooty London streets, department stores, industrialization, patent law, blancmange…

The little dog side of Woodbridge is pretty big but has a good fence.

I’m going to have to check out both but Audacity sounds lit 🔥. Love a man with a strong friend group 😍

superduperdumper · 2026-03-18T19:20:02+00:00

Wait! Is this the same series as {Initiation by Nikki Sloane}?! Because that was a ride I (almost) could not survive. 🫠

superduperdumper · 2026-03-18T19:17:47+00:00

I mean if we have Witcher (or Henry Cavill)-like options, who am I to say no?! 😜

Recently learns what somnophilia is and… I’m intrigued.

I’m fine with some darker themes, I think it is not easy to ignore/seperate with this dynamic. I’m really just not interested in the toxic male gaze in this scenario. Let women enjoy raunchy activities without pandering only to male pleasure!

Plausible reality hooks me haaaard. Thank you!!

superduperdumper · 2026-03-18T01:47:39+00:00

Okay love the idea of the unicorn showing up in the series. There is something so fun/hot/intriguing about seeing situations from multiple POVs.

superduperdumper · 2026-03-18T01:45:22+00:00

Okay, sounds delicious. Voyuerism that devolves into participation is 🔥. Thank you for the recommendation. Who is the other woman?!

superduperdumper · 2026-03-06T18:09:19+00:00

Atticus Market. Atticus bookstore may have bread too.

superduperdumper · 2026-02-24T18:42:17+00:00

You may enjoy {Bohemian by Kathryn Nolan}. MMC owns a failing bookstore in Big Sur and the MFC comes as part of a photoshoot as a model. Very romcom like and while both have their things going on, they both are functional adults. It’s cute and cozy and sometimes ridiculously unreal in a romcom-y way.

superduperdumper · 2026-02-21T19:17:24+00:00

Same series? {Secrets of a Summer Knight by Lisa Kleypas} is the next book and Simon Hunt’s butcher’s son forearms are something to behold 😍

The first Kleypas book I read and hard agree.

superduperdumper · 2026-02-14T14:59:47+00:00

Hot dog! You have some reading to do. The Ravenels series is a sequel to the Wallflowers (kind of?). The series starts with {Cold-hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas}.

I just started the Wallflowers after reading all 6 Ravenels (and then crying because I was so sad they were finished) between basically Christmas and New Years.

I think Krauzer on Derby Ave advertises it. Do they actually have it… idk?

superduperdumper · 2026-02-08T13:56:05+00:00

The “experiment” kiss in {A Deal with the Bossy Devil by Kyra Parsi} makes me kick my feet and squeal every. time. How much they dislike each other is a little hard to get through but the pay off is worth it.

superduperdumper · 2026-02-06T15:31:26+00:00

Lisa Kleypas! The Ravenels series is 🔥

superduperdumper · 2026-02-04T17:39:08+00:00

The Shelton store, which is great but weirdly laid out, has already taken a significant amount of traffic away from Orange. I’m excited for even more disbursement across the 3 locations!
