The season 2 trailer of The Gilded Age, a show where no one goes to French Balls, reminds me that y'all should read Joanna Shupe books, where everyone goes to French Balls.
Specifically, Preston Clarke and Katherine Delafield hook up at a French Ball (and deeply regret it except it was the best encounter of his life and the only encounter of hers), and the Duke of Lockwood and Nellie Young glare at each other angrily at a French Ball because they hate each other!!! And nobody is allowed to make out with them but.... them!!!!!!!!!!
#romance novel blogging#the bride goes rogue is so good to me because the actual romance is WORLD CLASS but the nellie/lockwood hints#are the funniest sidebar in the world#nellie being like 'WHY IS HE HERE??? i'm not mad hE'S MAD. i'm not mad HE'S MAD.'#and lockwood going to the masked costume debauchery party in his normal clothes is either like#the most unaware thing ever#or the biggest flex ever???#just read her books my god

THE BRIDE GOES ROGUE
Katherine Delafield is done waiting—she’s been betrothed to Preston Clarke since she was a child and their fathers agreed to the match, but she’s still not married to him. However, when she reminds him of this fact and tries to set a date for the wedding, he strongly declines, and Katherine decides to move on and stop waiting for marriage. As a relatively free and privileged young woman of the Gilded Age, she’s ready to explore the wilder side of New York City and declares to her friends that she wants to have an affair. For his part, merciless tycoon Preston has, as always, been too absorbed in his tireless work to think much about the visit from Katherine. In need of relaxation, he decides to go to a famous downtown party that’s known to be “quite risqué”—the French Ball at Madison Square Garden. But wouldn’t you know it? It’s the same debauched evening Katherine is attending in search of her first affair. Masked and anonymous, they share a red-hot intimate moment and vow to meet again soon. When they discover the truth about their masked encounter the following night, both are furious but quickly find that the pull of their chemistry is so strong that they begin a series of steamy clandestine meetings and even develop a friendship of sorts despite Preston’s long-standing hatred for Katherine's father. They tell themselves they’re just having an adventure, but as their unusual connection deepens, the rivalry between their families becomes even more serious. Shupe’s well-loved Fifth Avenue Rebels series returns with a very saucy friends-with-benefits story. As ever, her command of historical details enlivens the story just as much as her command of intimate ones—and yes, that means she has proof that there really were indecent public events in New York in the 1890s. Preston is the kind of delightfully anachronistic historical romance hero Shupe’s fans love, and he works perfectly in combination with Katherine's bold bluestocking ways; those fans will be glad to hear the series is not yet done and get a glimpse of the next book at the end of this one.

Books with Established F/F Relationships
Books that start with the couple already together! The x is linked to where the recommendation was pulled from.

On the case with these lesbian detectives
These sultry sleuths are on the job and trying to solve some serious cases. Action, murder, sex, love…it’s all part of these thrilling mystery novels starring lesbian detectives. The Killing Room by Gerri Hill As Detective Jake McCoy takes a vacation to recover from her injuries from a shooting, she runs into Psychologist Nicole Westbrook, who makes quite an impression. When Jake returns to Denver and starts a new investigation, all roads seem to lead to Nicole. Amateur City by Katherine V. Forrest Amateur City is the first novel in the compelling Kate Delafield mystery series. Leading a murder investigation, Detective Kate Delafield interviews the only witness to the crime, Ellen O’Neil. The last thing Ellen expected when she took this new job was to end up witnessing a murder, or crossing paths with the enigmatic Det. Delafield. Lessons in Murder by Claire McNab Lessons in Murder is the first book in the Carol Ashton series. Detective Inspector Carol Ashton is on the case of a teacher murdered, and her suspects are his fellow teachers. Prime suspect Sybil Quade proves to be challenging and Ashton finds herself drawn to the woman. Will this attraction compromise the case, or can Det. Ashton get to the bottom of this murder? White Offerings by Ann Roberts Amateur sleuth Ari Adams is determined to find out who has been sending her best friend mysterious orchids, so she reaches out to local PI Elizabeth “Biz” Stone. She doesn’t expect to find the investigator so attractive, since she is head over heels already for Detective Molly Nelson. When a white orchid arrives for Ari, this case turns quite serious, quite quickly. Undercover Secrets, Untold Lies by Jasmine Austin Moore Detective Gwen Meyers is called in to investigate the murder of her former classmate (and one time lover) in the small town of Scarletsville. The victim’s father is a department captain and begins interfering with the case. When Forensic Investigator Chloe Carpenter joins the case, there are major sparks between her and Gwen, making this case all the more difficult to crack. http://dlvr.it/PQy7k1

High Desert by Katherine V. Forrest
Series: Kate Delafield: #9
Read: February 2015
Stars: 4 stars
This is just a note, not a review: One of the things I keep coming across in the Delafield series, at least in the later books, is the idea that Kate knows that she needs to work on her relationship with Aimee, keeps hinting at this knowledge in the book and then . . . . oh look, books over, let's now repeat this in the next book while at the same time undoing what little had been promised in previous books.
One of the books ends with Kate agreeing to go to couples counseling and thinking about how she will need to contact, wants to contact, that therapist who she meet when she got shot.
The book after this promise occurs indicates that Kate has not spoken with this therapist since her last session years ago related to the being shot incident.
And her relationship with Aimee is in even worse shape.
It's an interesting series in one specific way. The first book came out in 1984. And a few came out that decade, the '90s, one in the '00s, and then this one in the '10s. 29 years. Some series allow their characters to age and the like. Most, though, tend to stick to a certain range. Like, if a series started with a character at a specific age, somewhere along the line, they just become "an adult" without spending too much time indicating that the character started at roughly 29, and is now 58. Just keeping it at "youngish, middle-agish, still alive" type.
I mention all that because Kate does age. The book is filled with remembrances of her past. The various cases, various locations of her life. Buildings that meant a lot to her which are completely gone now. The book is deeply tied to past and its impact on the present.

Favorite bratty heroines?
I think there are very intentional brats (authors who wrote with the concept in mind) and heroines who just so happen to be brats.
What compelled me to make the shelf was my Kings of Italy binge--both Frankie (Mafia Mistress and Mafia Darling) and Gia (Mafia Madman) come off as total brats. Like, Frankie sending Fausto videos and pics to get him worked up while she's trying on lingerie, the "flaunt the bikinis in front of other people" scene. I think Fausto actually calls her monella.
And Gia.... Lol dude. Gia is iNSANE and I love her, easily one of my favorite heroines ever. Like, Enzo puts her in an actual cage to ~break her~ and she responds by doing naked yoga, fully knowing he and his men are watching on security. And his brain just BREAKS. She's so good at taunting and teasing him--it's one big reason why I love the book so much.
Olivia and the Masked Duke by Grace Callaway has a very explicitly bratty heroine (I think he calls her on it). She's always breaking his rules, deliberately teasing him into spanking her, getting him hot and bothered in public.
Katherine Delafield from Joanna Shupe's The Bride Goes Rogue is super bratty. Joanna obviously has a thing for writing this; the heroine of My Dirty Duke has a similar vibe, and while I don't know that Nellie from The Duke Gets Even is exactly there, she definitely teases Lockwood a lot.
It Happened One Autumn--this is one of the closer bratty heroines Kleypas has written, to me. Like. So much of Lillian's personality is just working Westcliff up, and this continues after their marriage.
Constance from The Earl I Ruined is verrry much this. And her hero is very much a dom.
Lizzie from The Billionaire's Wake-Up-Call-Girl is so bratty she literally gets him going over the phone.
Vanessa from Run, Run Rabbit by C.M. Nascosta! Basically dancing around Grayson and antagonizing him until he can't take it throughout the book.
I've always felt like several of my favorite heroines from IAD had brat vibes. Mariketa (Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night) is constantly teasing Bowen and driving him insane (she also hexes him). Ellie (Lothaire) lives to fuck with Lothaire's head and get one over on him. Sabine (Kiss of a Demon King) is theeeee brat, to the point that she throws tantrums and I... love her.

I just read How the Wallflower Was Won and since the hero in that was a really good dirty talker, who are some of the best dirty talkers in historical romance in your opinion? Most of them will probably be heroes, but I would love to hear about some heroines that are good dirty talkers
Hope you don't mind if I publish this! That was a great book--I don't think people understand how hot the sex scenes are in it because the plot sounds fairly straightforward. Just a really fun read.
So for me, I think of like...
The Duke of Clayborn, Heartbreaker--MacLean heroes are really good dirty talkers, and this is one of her best. He's the one that said "good girl", like? We love a praise kink.
Cross, One Good Earl Deserves a Lover--Obviously the king of this shit. Just dirty talks until she's climaxing lmaooo.
Julia, The Countess of Greyling, The Earl Takes All--I wouldn't say Julia is an especially creative dirty talker, but her dirty talk is literally a plot point and I find it charmingly earnest and the hero's reaction to it is sooooooo good.
Preston Clarke/Katherine Delafield, The Bride Goes Rogue--These two are both good at it and both into their little mini role play moments, and I do love it. "Mon roi" "reinette" lmao prep school Francophile freaks.
Andrew Talbot (The Duke of Lockwood), The Duke Gets Even--Lmao y'all haven't gotten this one yet but I looooove Lockwood's dirty talk in this. It's like. Very clear that he says shit specifically to get Nellie going in a super calculated manner, and I just. Love that. He knows that she's into him being starchy on the outside and dirty on the inside.
James Kilbrenner, When A Girl Loves An Earl--I just really like the use of the Scottish brogue to get the heroine all hot and bothered. I think at one point he's basically like "I'm gonna fuck you up so bad you'll be terrified" and she's like "promise".
Raven Moreaux, To Catch A Raven--Mostly for "I'd like some cock now, please". What a fucking line. I love her.
Maximus Batten, Duke of Midnight--Most dramatic dirty talk award, love this for him.
Julian Haywood, The Earl I Ruined--A dom dirty talker, which is, imo, the best kind of dirty talker.

Why I Heart Mysteries Now More than Ever
I’m a junkie for competence porn. I used to think my fetish started with the creation of MacGyver, whose name is now synonymous with the genre. But it goes back much earlier than that. Columbo, with his bumbling shtick that covers up a steel-trap truth processor. Sherlock Holmes, the ultimate know-it-all. CSI began as science-is-everything competence porn. If the premise of any story is that the detectives and investigators are smart, inventive and know what they’re doing, I’m there. Now more than ever, with facts of science under siege, and ignorance coupled with brute strength held up as virtue, I find myself turning to mysteries, again and again, for stories of competence. Facts. Deduction based on evidence. Even better, competence that leads to justice. Mysteries are where evil is punished, and smart, not always rich or beautiful, people rule. The LGBTQ community lives again in a world under siege, where county clerks and bakers can deliver deaths of a thousand paper cuts to our rights. Our entire community has a profound craving for answers in the unsolved disappearances and murders of gay, bi and transgender people. We yearn for justice, in the here and now. Any good mystery novel brings answers to hard questions, and usually at the hands of a competent investigator. Our story heroes may be broken and themselves a quagmire of conflicts. But their goal is securing truth and justice usually on behalf of another. It’s Karma in action, between the covers of a book. And when that competent investigator draws on facts as well as insight into human nature, it’s a winner for me. Give me stories from Jean Redmann, Erica Abbott, Ellen Hart, Sarah Drehera! My To Be Read stack includes so many more. Take your pick because the range and selection is fabulous these days. Perhaps its sacrilegious coming from me, but a love story inside a mystery is totally optional. I don’t have to fall in love with my justice heroes, and they can be antisocial loners. Doesn’t matter. It’s the mystery storyline that promises me I will get angry and sad, my heart will pound and there will be justice in the world by the end. Relax, The Women are in Charge In decades past, mysteries tended to be very male, and a lot of them were really awful to their women characters. Many female characters ended up dead or helpless fodder to prove the hero’s bravery. Then they were bedded and discarded by the next book. Spy novels a la James Bond, are a kind of competence porn, after all. A notable exception to the use of women as dead-body wallpaper are the horse-world based mysteries of the late Dick Francis. The novels abound with respectfully treated love interests who often bring the missing deductive puzzle piece to the party and rarely need to be rescued. With the rise of women in print, lady sleuths emerged, bringing with them stories of justice for women and victimized communities. Finally, mysteries that passed the Bechdel Test! Many of my favorite series have accompanied me on long drives as audio books, making me loathe to ever turn off the car, like The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith, The Bernadette Manuelito (Leaphorn and Chee) Series by Anne Hillerman, and The Mary Russell Series by Laurie R. King. Bad people get caught. Justice, not always jail time, is dispensed. The Truth is Everything Inside a great mystery story is world where unearthing the truth is everything. This was true in one of the first lesbian mysteries I ever read, Murder at the Nightwood Bar by Katherine V. Forrest. It’s the power of Kate Delafield’s reasoning, her careful attention to detail, and ability to see people through the lens of facts that leads her to a surprising conclusion. What Kate knows is truth and the justice she serves sustains her, and us, after confronting the inhumanity of hatred and abuse. Ultimately, stories like these give me comfort because I know when writers create characters they are drawing on models in real life. Our real world is filled with every day competent people. Our news of late is filled with unlikely first responders: data geeks and lawyers with laptops using their competence and commitment to serve the cause of justice. I read mysteries because I believe the words I repeated in school in my youth: And justice for all. Karin Kallmaker has been exclusively devoted to lesbian fiction since the publication of her first novel by Naiad Press in 1989. In addition to multiple Lambda Literary Awards, she has won the Ann Bannon Popular Choice, multiple Goldies and has been selected as a Trailblazer by the Golden Crown Literary Society. Her latest novel is Captain of Industry from Bella Books. The California native is the mother of two and blogs at Romance and Chocolate. Search on social media for “Kallmaker” – there’s only one.

Meet some of the leading ladies of Bella Books’ mystery series
One of the great things about Bella mysteries is that we often get to reunite with our leading ladies in another book! Here are some of the detective, amateur (and accidental) sleuths that appear in popular Bella mystery novels.
Ari Adams (created by Ann Roberts) Everything changes for real estate agent Ari Adams when she discovers a dead body at one of her open houses (Book 1 Paid in Full). Readers then follow Ari through mystery after mystery as this amateur sleuth finds herself in many sticky situations.
Shay O’Hanlon (created by Jessie Chandler) Shay runs a popular coffee shop in Uptown Minneapolis and gets her first taste of solving mysteries in Bingo Barge Murder, when she sets out to prove her best friend’s innocence when he’s accused of murder. From there on, she finds herself in more than a few pickles.
Detective Chiara Corelli (created by Catherine Maiorisi) Detective Corelli is one of the newer kids on the Bella block, but she’s a captivating heroine in search of justice. In the first Corelli mystery, A Matter of Blood, Chiara is just back from her second tour in Afghanistan and goes undercover to expose a ring of dirty cops. She continues to fight against the “blue wall” of silence in the second novel, The Blood Runs Cold.
Kate Delafield (created by Katherine V. Forrest) Veteran LAPD Detective Kate Delafield has more than a few cases under her belt. She’s busy solving crimes and risking her life in Los Angeles and trying to hold on to a relationship at the same time.
Carol Ashton (created by Claire McNab) Possibly the most well known and beloved leading mystery lady, Detective Inspector Carol Ashton has a whopping seventeen cases under her belt, starting with her first leading role in Lessons in Murder. Ashton calls Sydney, Australia her home but goes where the cases call her.
Tori Hunter (created by Gerri Hill) While Hill writes many stand-alone mysteries, Detective Tori Hunter plays a starring role in four of her novels. Things kick off in Hunter’s Way, where we find Tori going through detective partners like Kleenex. That all changes when she meets her match in Samantha Kennedy.

Murder by Tradition by Katherine V. Forrest
Series: Kate Delafield: #4
Read: February 2015
Stars: 5 Stars
Every book up until this one involved an investigation into murder. This time it's Law and Order. Opens with murder. Shortly thereafter the police arrest a man for the crime and he confesses. Rest of book is the murder trial.
One of the big points that pop up in both the defense of the defendant and among police officers who are supposed to be investigating the case is the "Homosexual Defense". Two-fold: 1) guy deserved to die because he was gay; 2) defendant deserves to get off due to how a "normal common sense person" would freak out if a homosexual person attempted . . . well, breathing near them.
Oh, and less seen, but this "homosexual element" also impacts the prosecution. None of the male attorneys want the case, so it gets "dumped" onto a female attorney who has never done a murder trial before.
Kate's police partner basically shuts down and wants nothing to do with the case when it turns out that the murder victim is a gay man, and the murderer, during the confession, notes that he freaked out and that's why he killed. Ed wants the guy to get involuntary manslaughter, if that, because gay people are icky. Also, the police officers interviewing neighbors, witnesses, etc., are quite brief as they don't wish to be involved with the case. So Kate has to handle the police side by herself. Mostly.
I wasn't sure how the murder trial would go. How it would be written. I had not read one written by Forrest before. First two witnesses were basically described as "they got up, they gave their testimony, they got off the stand." So, it wasn't looking that thrilling, but then things picked up. In the end, the trial parts were probably among the best scenes I've read.
