Chapter Twenty-Five: Don't Pull a Parent Trap Before Your Wedding

In this episode, I cover (very roughly) Tracey Ann Warren's The Trap Trilogy.  The Husband Trap, The Wife Trap, and The Wedding Tap. We start off with Violet (our Twin B) who replaces her identical twin sister Jeannette (our Twin A), who refuses to marry a Duke (it's okay to gasp).  But Violet is kinda-sorta madly in love with Adrian (the Duke and now her husband). In the Wife Trap, Jeannette gets her serving of humble pie. And in the Wedding Tap, it's (probably my favorite out of all of them), it's full of a little bit of everything that makes up Romance books!

Chapter Twenty-Four: Don't Tattoo Your S.O's Name On You

I guess getting your significant other's name tattooed on you is a kiss of death for the relationship. In this episode, I cover Elizabeth Hunter's Ink (book one of Main Street and 7th). This was a great book, with a few minor hiccups (in my opinion) and I'll tell what worked and what didn't work and why it's more a slow burner than an opposite attract type trope. All I have to say is Bookshop and tattoo shop combination is brilliant and I need it in my life!
