If you liked "Last Light" by Claire Kent, then try...

This is the first in a new series of posts, which I plan to post on Wednesdays. For previous posts, and a list of upcoming posts, see this post.

Today’s book is {Last Light by Claire Kent}, an MF post-apocalyptic romance set in the USA, set four years after an apocalyptic event.

Layne and Travis are near strangers who need to travel out of their town and into the unknown to reach safety, navigating various situations and growing closer in the process. There is a series of spin off novellas, set in the same universe.

Readers who enjoyed this book might be looking for:

You've been cursed and can only read books you already own! How long can you last and what's your plan?

You've been cursed and can only read books you already own. Ebooks, physical books, audiobooks all count but you can't buy or otherwise acquire a single new book 😱

How many books are you left with? What's your plan? Reread all your old books again? Start reading those free "Stuff Your Kindle" books you've been hoarding for 3 years? Or do you have 1000 books and are sitting pretty for the next few years?

Kinks and Sex Acts Megathread - Bondage, Shibari, Handcuffs etc.

Hi everyone, welcome to our new Megathread series focusing on Kinks and Sex Acts. These will be posted fortnightly on Tuesdays, alternating with the Themed Megathreads. 

This week's Megathread is focused on “Bondage, Shibari, Handcuffs etc.”. This involves a character who is tied up, handcuffed or similar. Shibari refers to a type of erotic bondage involving specific knots and patterns. These activities may take place during a sex scene or outside of a sexual context.

Comment below to tell us the books you enjoyed which featured this kink.

Here is a link to the list of Kink and Sex Acts Megathreads

Some guidance on posting on a Megathread: 

  • Top comments must be detailed recommendations. Camping comments or individual requests will be removed
  • Include details of the book you are recommending, such as other tropes, pairing/grouping (MM/FF/MF etc), whether it is part of a series.
  • Include details of how the kink is portrayed, which characters are involved and in what way (e.g. “MMC is tied up by FMC1 and FMC2 using ropes”)
  • Indicate if the book does not fit our definition of romance novels - for example if it doesn't have a happy ending, or is erotica not focused on a romantic relationship.

We've all seen hundreds of wolf shifters, probably a handful of big cats and bears. But I want to hear all about Wacky Animal Shifters! Bizarre birds, mesmerising marsupials or even randy reptiles, any animal shifters are game.

Some which come to mind for me:

{Armadillo's Instinct by Elva Birch} put this idea in my mind when I saw it on Libby today

{Capybara Island by Quell T. Fox}

{Sink or Swim by Maz Maddox} - one of them is a spinosaurus. The other is a Quetzalcoatlus, an enormous bird-like flying dinosaur

Note: usually these discussions about weirdest shifters are about blocks of cheese or washing up sponges or whatever else. None of those today, I'm just looking at animals!

{Space for Growth by Emily Antoinette} This book had loads of fun things going on!

We have Paul, our sad, anxious, lonely MMC who gets accidentally kidnapped. And we have Hadrell, our flirtatious, sexy pirate NBMC (they/he) trying to work out who got them banned from the station. Hadrell is so charismatic and sweet, I love how they manage to get under Paul’s skin and make him try things he would never have considered before.

The world building in this series is just right for me - interesting alien races, visiting space ports and cool technology - but nothing too in depth or complicated which overshadowed the main plot or the romance. I enjoy the casually queer society that is found in this alien society - they/them pronouns are assumed until corrected, and there are characters in various types of relationships and using various pronouns.

It's always nice when sci fi romances give us some cool sex tech or creative anatomy. In this case, Hadrell has a piercing which can >!vibrate internally, and an internal implant which can grow into a strap-on type cock!<. They also have >!aphrodisiac “slick”!<.

This is the third book of a series, and I would recommend the others, but I think it can be read as a standalone. The main plot takes place off world with all new characters, just a few references to people and events from books 1 and they appear in the epilogue.

Hi everyone, welcome to our new Megathread series focusing on Kinks and Sex Acts. These will be posted fortnightly on Tuesdays, alternating with the Themed Megathreads. 

This week's Megathread is focused on “Praise Kink”. This involves a character who enjoys or is turned on by being praised, rewarded or complemented during sex, or as part of a BDSM relationship.

Comment below to tell us the books you enjoyed which featured this kink.

Note: one off praise like “good girl” or “good boy” which only occurs once or twice would not be considered significant praise kink.

Here is a link to the list of Kink and Sex Acts Megathreads and links to previous praise kink posts 

Some guidance on posting on a Megathread: 

  • **Top comments must be detailed recommendations. Camping comments or individual requests will be removed.**
  • Include details of the book you are recommending, such as other tropes, pairing/grouping (MM/FF/MF etc), whether it is part of a series.
  • Include details of how the kink is portrayed, which characters are involved and in what way (e.g. “MMC has a praise kink”)
  • Indicate if the book does not fit our definition of romance novels - for example if it doesn't have a happy ending, or is erotica not focused on a romantic relationship.
