Welcome to the Round Robin Reading Group, hosted by the Sugarbabes! 🌹The requirements may seem light, but we hope the substance is heavy🌹 In tournaments and such, round-robin scheduling arranges to have all players take turns playing each other. We think that concept would be pretty cool for a reading group where reading a variety of books might be fun. Hopefully in the Triple R Reading Group (Let's thank @BlameSaiki for the cool nickname) we can do more than just read and comment, we can pool our talents together to become better writers. Sound good? Then step inside...

Lord Tanden is finally free. Free from his family's obligations, free to sail around the world, free to explore. It's all he's ever wanted, to be allowed to experience everything life has to offer, away from the stuffy meeting halls of his childhood. To indulge his wanderlust. However, wanderlust isn't the only thing he's after. Captain Tanden is rich, he's charming, and he's handsome. He knows he can get the prettiest girl or the most attractive man in every port. Yet, he knows that none of them will hold his interest for long. He's always moved quickly, from one country to the next, from one lover to someone else. No one can keep up, but he doesn't mind. Tanden's life and adventures are a game he's destined to play on his own. But then he meets Soren in a bar, and things change. Soren isn't just an excellent sailor and fantastic candidate for first mate, he might be capable of keeping up. He might be the only person willing to play Tanden's game.

A man who purposefully forgot his past is now responsible for humanity's future. Jasper Yuusuke has no memory of his distant past nor of his family. All he knows is that he belongs to a prestigious clan who was once feared as the Blood Knights, and that the two hanging around him are also supposedly part of his family. All other memories from before meeting them are locked away. He refuses to remember anything. After managing to kick some intruders out of his family's estate, Jasper comes face-to-face with a man who shows up with an invitation for him: to take part in a mission for an organization that was created immediately after the events of Die Sanguinis seven years ago.
