[close] Welcome to BOOKS THAT BANG, the book club where we read between the sheets—of the book, of course! We’re here for the steamy scenes, the jaw-dropping plots, and the characters who make us think, “Did they really just do that?” Yes, yes they did. And we love it. We read smut. We read monster romance. Hell, we read whatever gets us hot and questioning our sanity (and maybe our legal standing, too). Each month, we’ll gather to discuss the stories that make us wonder if we’re a little too obsessed with fictional characters—Spoiler alert: we are. Whether it’s a romance that has us turning pages faster than a caffeine-fueled speed reader, or those scenes that make you pause and think, “Should I call a lawyer, or is this just me?”—you’re in the right place. No judgment here. Except for the characters. They might be really questionable. Prepare for a lot of laughs, a little bit of blushing, and a lot of "WTF?!" You’ll never look at a romance novel the same way again.
