Savages by Shirley Conran

A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch.

Just finished it and it was a lot of fun!

Think Buffy (the witch) and sexy human looking demon with cute little horns. Played out in an earth like parallel universe where everything is like our earth, but there are pixies and centaurs and warewolves, witches and demons, all living together.

Fun and sexy.

Interesting. I never read anything like this but am thinking of ordering a few now!!

Last post is someone who keeps ballyhooing their own books - they were deleted from some previous threads.

Found a copy of 'Scruples 2' by Judith Krantz on a supermarket charity stall. It's not a good book, but it has a scene which seems to have inspired the Jacuzzi scene in 'Bad Brides'.

Love Emma Holly and Lily Harlem, but IMO they’re erotica rather than bonkbuster

WhyWayle · 06/01/2024 21:23

Emma Holly - 'Velvet Glove', 'Menage', 'All You Can Eat', and a historical one I can't recall the name of.

Hard agree on 'The Tutor' by Portia Da Costa

Have just ordered Bad Brides- sounds like just the sort of trash I adore!

I'm also a historical romance devotee, so thanks for those recommendations , just finished The Rakess and loved it.

Thank you! No, not too many... love hearing about authors I've not read if they've been recommended here.

I have better luck with MN book reviews that goodreads or anywhere else 😍

@HermioneWeasley I would've been thrilled to find that in a hotel room!

I gave my copy to my SIL. We have some cross-over in fiction tastes, thought she might like it.

I've not heard from her since. It's likely a coincidence, we're not that close but still.... hope she can still look me in the eye next I see her 😨

Maybe she's afraid you'll ask for it back!

Yes, that scene was a particular stand out. I left my copy at my hotel this summer and wonder what whoever picked it up made of it. I feel like I should have left a little note about it being really filthy.

Dustyblue · 31/12/2023 02:31

They were bisexual male prostitutes. I remember it well (goes boggled-eyed at thought).

Still going through Rebecca's many fine pieces of literature. Bless her.

watbrook · 30/12/2023 20:27

Oh they weren't brothers, that was just my imagination.

watbrook · 30/12/2023 19:03

I could feel myself blushing when I read the scene with Tamra and the brothers in Bad Brides...

My own faves would be:
The Tutor - Portia da Costa
The Butcher - Alina Reyes
The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Cheryl Mildenhall
The Seven Year List - Zoe Le Verdier

Sorry if that's too many...

Was quite startled by the jacuzzi scene in 'Bad Brides'...A silly but enjoyable book.

Bad Brides is my book/author of the year & I have MN to thank.🤗

Grabbed "Bad Angels" as it's set a Christmas-time but not loving the 1st couple of chapters. Will persevere though. Still a few Rebecca Chance left to go, so glad I found her.

Mumsanetta · 12/12/2023 13:21

I would recommend King of Wrath by Ana Huang and Severed by Vengeance by Elle Maldonado, both very good and the first books in a series if you want more! I’ve just recommended these on another thread, they are rather spicy though …
Placing an order for Bad Brides as I type!

RachelGreensHair · 20/11/2023 02:07

Red, White and Royal Blue

Dustyblue · 12/11/2023 01:40

The titles are hard to keep track of! I plan to keep on reading RC until I find a BAD one (see what I did there?) 😜

HermioneWeasley · 11/11/2023 11:47

@Dustyblue likewise I’m working my way through Bad Twins and read another - bad girls possibly?

Dustyblue · 10/11/2023 23:58

MaudGone · 23/10/2023 22:41

I got a couple of other Rebecca Chance books from the library and I'm afraid I found them a huge disappointment...

After the delight of Bad Brides, I ordered Divas and Bad Sisters.

Loved Divas, and halfway through loving Bad Sisters. They're such a laugh, utterly over the top and great escapism. Reminds me a bit of Louise & Tilly Bagshawe books. But better!

Dustyblue · 10/11/2023 23:53

Yes I saw that! Great piece.

I've never done Jilly (the shame). I've asked my local 2nd-hand book dealer to keep an eye out for Riders & Rivals. Gotta start at the beginning :)
