Bed Me, Baron by Felicity Niven
Parts of this book are very fun and then a major spoiler/twist happens and we stopped having any fun at all, but the main characters weren't having any fun either. Meg is still personally victimized by chess.
Dec 29, 2023•39 min
A Holly Jolly Ever After by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone
Meg and Laine agree that this book does its thing very well and that there is significantly more attention paid to one character's development. We disagree about whether or not that makes for an enjoyable read.

By Winter's Light by Stephanie Laurens
Stephanie Laurens doesn't know how to write less than 300 pages and even when there's nary a whiff of plot to be found, we can't spend less than 40 minutes talking about it.

The Captain's Midwinter Bride by Liana De La Rosa
The good: well executed, sexy, and a total breath of fresh air. The Laine has notes: It is December and there was nary a Christmas carol to be found.

Snowed in with the Scoundrel
This is a novella about a Christmas sex cabin. It was so good, but we struggled to stay on topic when discussing
Dec 19, 2023•35 min
A Christmas Spark by Diana Biller
If you can deeply internalize the expectation that this will be very short and closed door, everything in this novella is perfect. If you hear the words "virgin hero" and start salivating, that's kinda hard to do.

Duke the Halls by Felicty Niven
Add this to the list of books we didn't think would work for us, but totally did! Everything that's usually annoying to us was charming. Maybe that's the meaning of Christmas?

A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone
A boy band member trying to rehabilitate his image with a Christmas movie is shocked but not appalled when his new costar is his favorite porn star. Meg loved it, Laine liked it, and it was VERY Christmas.
Dec 07, 2023•32 min
The Earl I Want for Christmas by Colleen Kelly
This cute newsletter novella scratched Laine's Christmas itch, but Meg struggled with some hamfisted Christmas hijinks. We both enjoyed the sex vacation.
Dec 05, 2023•24 min
Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura
We wanted to like this "rival archeologist" book very much, but the male main character is nothing like Lord Ingram or Rupert, so we struggled.
Dec 01, 2023•32 min
A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley
This episode went a little off the rails. We remain charmed by glimmer falls and enjoyed this new twist on an amnesia romance.

Errata Not Erotica
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy our unhinged outtakes and random discussions.

Never Met a Duke Like You by Amelie Howard
We really struggled to review this book! It was really fun and really sexy, but the characters were inconsistent and the plot was hard to follow. We both really enjoyed reading it, but sound like we didn't when talking about it.

Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan
Laine found this to be the perfect balance of zany and sincere. Meg had trouble suspending disbelief. Laine 's started a countdown to Christmas.
Nov 16, 2023•28 min
Sin & Serendipity by Sylvie Sinclair
The perfect newsletter novella makes you want to read more by the author, and this achieves this in spades. It doesn't reinvent "falling for the wrong brother" in exactly the right way, and the heroine manages to be believably young but also not the worst.
Nov 14, 2023•23 min
The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan
Meg felt many things while reading this book, including devastation that the important scientific work of so many women was lost to history. Laine thought it was super sexy and fun. YMMV.

One Night in Hartswood by Emma Denny
Moral of the story: all half-Scottish people are queer
Nov 07, 2023•30 min
Some Winter's Evening by Erin Langston
This is a platonic ideal of a romance novella! Virgin hero, Christmas, and a whole lot of acted-on lust.
Nov 02, 2023•28 min
It's in Her Kiss by Katherine Grant
Harriet has needed a best friend for a long time: me. Chow might not be as useful as an honest friend over brunch, but he does keep her from making a colossal mistake twice.
Oct 31, 2023•22 min
The Marquis Who Mustn't by Courtney Milan
We were so excited for this new release by Courtney Milan and it didn't disappoint! The couple was totally adorable even if their personal ethics didn't always point north.
Oct 27, 2023•35 min
10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall
This is a Christmas novel and it is perfect.
Oct 24, 2023•32 min
Despising the Duke by Stevie Sparks
This book charmed both of us in different ways. Meg with touching emotional scenes and Laine with WTFery
Oct 20, 2023•36 min
The Gargoyle from General Management by Kate Prior
We remain suckers for this series that is equal parts monster romance and office satire. Is capitalism getting you down? At least you're not at a mandatory off site corporate retreat while in heat.
Oct 17, 2023•22 min
The Earl Was Wrong by Britt Belle
We were very charmed by this debut novella that taught us we don't hate miscommunication when there isn't supposed to be a prior relationship built on trust and affection. Who knew?
Oct 13, 2023•32 min
Dreaming of a Duke Like You by Sara Bennett
Gambling hell owner and suddenly-legitimized dukes will inevitably have a lot of issues that gently bred but down on their luck women can solve.
Oct 10, 2023•30 min
The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan
We really like books in which the couple is on the same side but there are realistic circumstances keeping them apart. We loved this book.
Oct 06, 2023•28 min
Surrender to a Wicked Spy by Celeste Bradley
In which we say the word "dildo" enough times that it loses all meaning.
Oct 03, 2023•35 min
Re-release A Duke in Shining Armor by Loretta Chase
Meg and Laine talk about anxiety, secret love nest cabins, and duels. Like a lot about duels.
Sep 29, 2023•28 min
The Duke Gets Desperate by Diana Quincy
Apologies because neither Laine nor Meg can keep family relationships straight when discussing this one. Dude who expects to get his family castle back finds out it's been gifted to a random American. Would have been normal inheritance shenanigans if it didn't take miscommunication to a whole new level.
