We’re joined by Kenya Goree-Bell to recap Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux!

It’s the first horror romance we’ve covered and we bow down before the magnificence of Harley Laroux’s kinky, sexy, slightly scary, deeply satisfying story of a human who falls for a demon! Also be sure not to miss Kenya’s brand new release, The Kronic, out now on KU!

Our After Care suggestions were:

-The Road to Rose Bend by Naima Simone and His Leading Lady by Jenny Nordbak

-Edin by Lily Mayne

-The Last Kingdom (on Netflix)

Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma features a love-phobic doctor who has to convince a love obsessed homebody that they’re meant for each other (for romance reasons) to save his clinic. It’s the sexy, witty, rom com we deserve.

The Astronaut and the Star is a sparkling debut from Jen Comfort featuring a focused and driven female astronaut who’s forced to agree to “astronaut training” a movie star in order to rehab her image.
