so...what is a B.R.A.D??

a.k.a Beach Reads After Dark

Which is basically a steamy romance novel. Some people call these kinds of books "smut" or "bodice rippers," but here at Beach Reads & Bubbly, we affectionately call them BRADs. It's kind of an if you know, you know situation, and now you know! You can find all my BRAD recommendations in my ever-growing B.R.A.D.s highlights above.

In the words of Taylor Swift: call it what you want to

Trust me, and my Kindle history…

I’ve done my homework

BRADs aren’t like other books—I rate them on a few scales! Sometimes BRADs are so steamy, they forget to have a plot. So, if a BRAD has a plot, that pretty much gives it five stars on that front. When it comes to spice, one matchstick is still steamy. It’s all relative in the BRAD world, and it’s not an exact science—it’s just fun!
