We're joined by Adriana Herrera to recap Beyond the Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning! We talk about why we’re Moning Maniacs, why this was the Golden Age of paranormal romance, and why falconer dirty talk is so sexy. This book has it all...time travel, a heroine fleeing a dark secret in her past, meddling fae, a murderous ex girlfriend, not one but two near death sick bed scenes, sensory deprivation, Highlander Times viagra, an accidental aphrodisiac scene, light kidnapping, and one swaggering Highlander who’s so generously hung that comparisons to actual horses are made.
Be sure to check out Adriana’s latest book, Just for the Holidays! You also won’t want to miss Rake I’d Like to F!
CW: there's mention of various threats of sexual assault and some actual sexual assault in a few different scenes. There is also nervous/uncomfortable laughter from the hosts while trying to navigate these descriptions.
For links to all the books we mentioned, see the show notes on our website!
If you’re reading ahead, here are the upcoming books we'll be recapping:
11/18 Alien Quarantine Rescue by Robin Lovett
11/25 Sing Me to Sleep by RM Virtues
12/2 A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Katherine Moon
We’ll be on hiatus the rest of December, but back with more shenanigans in January!
