Sorry Mom Book Reviews

Two sisters review spicy romance books. One reads them. The other...is excited to be included. We beg for forgiveness as we review "Crossed" a Never After novel by Emily McIntire. Loosely based on Hunchback of Notre Dame, our villainous lead, Father Cade has set his righteous, murderous eyes on Amarya who makes his heart burn with hell fire. This one is incredibly dark--please check the trigger warnings--but it had us singing dramatically at our fireplaces from page one.
TW: Discussions of sex, stalking, SA, rape, bullying of a child on the spectrum, murder, gore, violence and so much religious trauma

Greer Rivers' Tattered Curtain book, "Phantom," takes center stage for this episode. It is a Phantom of the Opera retelling, set in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This dark romance really wooed us, who grew up as theater kids, and maybe it will do the same for you. Just keep your hand at the level of your eye and you'll get through this dark romance!
TW: Discussions of sex, murder, kidnapping, stalking, complications with mental illness

In this episode, we search the pages of the WITSEC book series by Ashley N. Rostek. (Find Me, Save Me, Love Me, Free Me) Remember when we said we'd do a lighthearted book this week? Forget all about that! Our poor heroine can't catch a break, except in the arms of four hunky brothers.

TW: Discussions of, bullying, stalking, SA, violence, graphic killings, sex
