The Sherbrooke Bride by Catherine Coulter

Bodice Tipplers ·

2022/04/30

Douglas is a mean-ass, uh, spy? and lord of something or other. Alex is the plainer sister of The Most Beautiful Woman in England but she's got some knockout knockers. They throw chairs at each other and get kidnapped. It's our sixty-ninth episode, The Sherbrooke Bride by Catherine Coulter! By the way, there's some discussion in this about whether a fancy Regency lady would pee in the woods on a long carriage ride - despite Google trying to autocomplete "how did travelling Regency women" with

Special Edition - To Marry and to Meddle by Martha...

2022/04/05

A threepeat! The best part of our year is always catching up with Our Friend Martha, who is now celebrating the release of her third book! Lady Emily Turner has been a debutante for six seasons now and should have long settled into a suitable marriage. However, due to her father’s large debts, her only suitor is the persistent and odious owner of her father’s favorite gambling house.

Blue Days at Sea by Anne Weale

Bodice Tipplers ·

2022/03/20

Sarah is a plucky girl reporter! Lyle is a hot war correspondent who's also a news anchor I guess? (Maybe he's a far more uncool Morley Safer?) Anyway he isn't a print journalist but he's decided he's going to restart the weekly newspaper on Compostela, a Caribbean island that we might as well call Smasrshbuda. She wants the job! He's incredibly inappropriate and she takes it anyway! It's 1981! He has a terrible mustache and looks exactly like that guy from The Young and the Restless that Sara

Tonight and Forever by Brenda Jackson

Bodice Tipplers ·

2022/02/26

He's Justin, a doctor who just moved to Cookoutville, moved on from his dead wife, and about to move into a swank ranch property. She's Lorren, a children's book author not interested in love since she divorced an Awful Husband. It's Tonight and Forever, Brenda Jackson's first book! Generally all of the potentially troubling stuff in this book happened in the past - there's an emotionally and physically abusive ex husband, an uncool mustache, a Dead Brain Cancer Wife, that sort of thing.

Film F*ck It - Morning Glory (1993)

Bodice Tipplers ·

2022/02/01

Y'all. It's been a month. It's just been so much January. So very January. We didn't actually... uh, read two books this month, so in the finest American scholarly tradition we watched a movie instead! Thrill to the very Canadian film adaptation of LaVyrle Spencer's Morning Glory (you may want to listen to our episode on the book first, but you totally don't have to because obviously we didn't prepare so why should you?) It's got Christopher Reeve and this Deborah Raffin lady we really liked and

All for Quinn by Kay Hooper

Bodice Tipplers ·

2022/01/26

He's an international jewel thief trying to catch another international jewel thief! She's a museum... employee? Evidently? It's All for Quinn by Kay Hooper, a Loveswept that's also somehow fourth in a series with real continuity and the expectation that you have read the others! And yes, the cover on both Amazon and Goodreads is just a photo of the book somebody took with flash. It's caper time! No serious triggers in this at all, just good ol' caper stuff like chloroforming and Interpol.

His for Hanukkah by Reese Morrison

Bodice Tipplers ·

2021/12/31

Adam is a Jewish sub who's tired of seeing Christmas all over the place. Tate is a trans Daddy who's looking for somebody to take care of. In our annual December tradition of reading gay Hanukkah novellas, we present His for Hanukkah by Reese Morrison! No real triggers in this book - it's very sweet. The only thing that might be upsetting is that Adam's anxiety, which is very realistic and may be too close to home for some people, and Tate's crappy family, which may also be too close to home for

White Lies by Linda Howard

Bodice Tipplers ·

2021/12/17

We recorded this one in... September, maybe? Who knows! Life is weird these days! Anyway it's December and that's appropriate because this book has cabins! Spies! Amnesia! It's White Lies by Linda Howard! He's... possibly her ex husband but probably not her ex husband and he's got amnesia and is in full body traction! She quit her high powered finance job because the FBI is paying her rent so she can let him grab her boobs! If that sounds bananapants you're right, it's bananapants! And

Their First Thanksgiving by Stella Bagwell

Bodice Tipplers ·

2021/12/01

GOBBLE GOBBLE YO! He's America's Farmer. She's America's Guilt. Together they are our tryptophan turd - Stella Bagwell's Their First Thanksgiving. Seriously, y'all, this book is awful. He gaslights her, she's got a white savior complex, every woman in his family puts a solid 80 hours of work into Thanksgiving for five people... it is a damned mess. We burned the book in protest. Do you know what it takes to get two librarians to participate in a book burning? NOW YOU DO. The only real

Special Edition - The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise...

2021/11/26

We had a lot of fun talking with Denise Williams, author of The Fastest Way to Fall. If you'd like to purchase a copy, please consider doing it from Dog Eared Books, Denise's local independent bookstore in Ames, Iowa. Britta didn't plan on falling for her personal trainer, and Wes didn't plan on Britta. Plans change and it's unclear if love, career, or both will meet them at the finish line. Britta Colby works for a lifestyle website, and when tasked to write about her experience with a hot new

Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice

Bodice Tipplers ·

2021/10/31

HAPPY HALLOWEEN to those who celebrate! We're continuing our Halloween tradition by bringing you another Anne Rice jam with Special Guest Dr. Claire! Last year we covered The Vampire Lestat and you should totally go back and listen to that one too. This time we didn't go for three hours - two and a half hours is not three hours. We got off the rails because quite frankly this book never even got on the rails. This book is a speedboat trying to use the train tracks. That's our excuse here. The

Devil May Care by Elizabeth Peters

2021/10/17

Welcome to spooky season, where we get ghosts in our brains that make us incapable of remembering the name of the book or half of the characters! So so sorry, "Ted"! OooooooOOOOOoooo spooooky! We love Halloween here at Bodice Tipplers so we decided to give you not one but two Halloween books - the first is Devil May Care by Elizabeth Peters. The second you'll have to wait to find out about - expect it at the end of the month. Ellie is a young... what does she do again? Anyway a young lady

Ride the Thunder by Janet Dailey

Bodice Tipplers ·

2021/09/29

He's Brig McCord (no really), a Hatchet-scenario survivor, ex-soldier of fortune, and rancher. She's Johanna something or other, hot redhead-in-certain-lights and general doer of nothing in particular (except for, of course, big game hunting with her dad.) It's a tale of murder, mystery, and doing it - it's Ride the Thunder by Janet Dailey! Content warnings for this include big game trophy hunting which is super gross, including some skinning and stuff, mild ravishing, a guy who's just an asshole

Special Edition - The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

2021/09/06

We had the great pleasure of sitting down with Alison Cochrun to talk about her very buzzy book, The Charm Offensive. If you'd like to purchase a copy, please consider buying from Alison's local independent bookstore, Vintage Books! At this time there are signed copies available! Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s

Navy Wife by Debbie Macomber

2021/08/25

If you're seeing two Navy Wife episodes in your aggregator, this is the one that doesn't have a bunch of weird audio problems! We couldn't figure out how else to make sure that people set to automatically download episodes would get the corrected version once we replaced the file - our apologies. Life comes at you fast! When we recorded this episode focusing on the military and talking a great deal about our choices abroad we had no idea it was going to come out at the exact same time as our

Banner O'Brien by Linda Lael Miller

2021/07/25

Banner O'Brien is the worst possible lady doctor in 19th century Washington State, which I guess also makes her the best lady doctor around (but no, she is not good at this doctoring thing.) Adam Corbin is the biggest assholes in 19th century Washington State and he does have plenty of competition. They yell. They slap. They do it, a lot. He's always "plundering" her various underclothes businesses. They keep truly amazing secrets from each other. It's a ride! This book has some pretty

She's a pilot and owns her own charter service! He's an actor preparing for a role! Together they are oh my god they are so boring you guys. Welcome to a super short episode of Bodice Tipplers where our luck in series romance runs out! It's got... well, it's got planes. It's got a cute flight suit. It's got a shuttle launch, which you would think would be exciting but don't worry, it isn't. It's got rib-eatin'! It's got getting caught in the rain! And yet. There are no content warnings for

The Lady's Tutor by Robin Schone

2021/06/20

Welcome to Robin Schone's The Lady's Tutor. She's a wealthy Victorian politician's wife, proper in every way. He's a halfbreed bastard... oh god I can't with this racist book, I just can't. It's about a woman who asks for sex lessons with no lab component, and then she realizes her husband sucks and opts for the lab after all. This is one Sara had very fond memories of that... did not necessarily hold up. It has some major content warnings - it's got Evil Gays complete with political pederasty
