  • Episode 103: The Dragon of New Orleans by Genevieve Jack
    Nov 12 2024

    It worked out really well for two angry ladies to be reading about a dragon shifter instead of a human man. This week, we read The Dragon of New Orleans by Genevieve Jack and we’re so glad. Gabriel is an immortal dragon, but a witch placed a curse on him. He doesn’t have long before his time runs out–he’ll either turn to stone or he’ll have to return to his homeland, where he’s surely to be killed on sight. He believes that Raven is the key to breaking the curse. Except that she’s in hospice, dying from a brain tumor. Good thing he can save her life…so that maybe she can save his. Also Discussed: Taylor Swift New Orleans Night 2, the shitshow of a week we’ve had, and why we choose the books we do.

  • Episode 102: Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage
    Oct 30 2024

    We got an ARC of Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage and we’re SO excited to talk to you about it. This series has us in a chokehold. Lost and Lassoed is book three in the Rebel Blue Ranch series–we finally get to see Teddy and Gus’s chemistry come to a head (giggle). Gus needs childcare assistance while Cam is out of town for the summer and Teddy is in need of a job. Can these two ever stop sniping at each other long enough to work together? In preparation for this episode, we also read Swift and Saddled, so we’ll be discussing that a bit, as well. Also discussed: Hear Me Out Cakes, Veronica’s upcoming anthology, and more spooky szn.

  • Episode 101: Jockstraps and Newspapers by Lizzie Strong
    Oct 15 2024

    In honor of spooky szn, we’re reading monster romance! This week’s feature is a new-to-us author with a minotaur and fae couple. She’s a journalist trying to land her dream job and he’s the captain of the sportsball team (literally, that’s the name of the sport). Because of the requirements of her probationary period with the newspaper, Cass is forced to spend a lot of time with Elliot. And when he goes into heat….well, things heat up between them. Also discussed: spooky season, the Twilight eye shadow palette from ColorPop, and a disgusting amount of mayonnaise.

  • Episode 100: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
    Oct 1 2024

    Time is a flat circle and we’re reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The last time either of us read the Twilight series, it was 2008 and we read it at the very beginning of our friendship. We were both different people and the world was a different place. What do we think of Edward and Bella today versus 16 years ago? Are we Team Edward or Jacob? (Or someone else…?) We’ll talk about the book, as well as its cultural impact (we know WE KNOW) in our 100th episode. Also discussed: our friend’s birthday party, our disbelief over where this podcast has taken us, and Veronica’s upcoming anthology. Special thanks to Dani McLean, S.L. Prater, and friend of the show Lee for sending us well-wishes, which you’ll hear throughout the episode.

    S.O.S. subject: Pushin’ Cushion by Vera Valentine

    Up next: We’ll announce it when we know. Life is hard.

  • Episode 99: The Love Lie by Kay Marie
    Sep 18 2024

    This week we’re immersing ourselves back into The Bachelor-esque world Kay Marie has curated for The Love Lie! Loyal listeners might remember the first installment in this series, The Love Rematch from Episode 73. In this followup, we see the aftermath of Emily’s decision to swap places with her identical twin Samantha. As we learned in the epilogue of The Love Rematch, the twin swap didn’t exactly go according to plan…so what happened? Kay Marie fills us in–and sets us up for book three–in The Love Lie. Also discussed: Lexington Legendary Book Bash, the scourge of living in Ohio, and spooooooooky szn.

  • Episode 98: The Kraken Games by Lilith Stone
    Sep 4 2024

    This week we’re clinging to the Olympics by reading The Kraken Games by Lilith Stone! Luna is the first human to have ever entered the Kraken Games in Motham City. Kai is this year’s chosen kraken, who will have to fight every single entrant in order to win–and he must win if he’d like to bring honor back to his people. Last year’s kraken lost to an orc, and Kai has been told that losing is not an option. The only thing is…Luna and Kai met before the Games. And they had a *real* good time together, which is a problem because Luna hates kraken and kraken generally hate humans. Also discussed: Veronica’s upcoming book signing, Star Wars, and why the word “squishy” is only allowed in Finding Nemo.

  • Episode 97: The Rake Review (A double book epi!)
    Aug 22 2024

    It’s a double episode tonight, ladies and gentlemen! Last year, Tracy Sumner threw out the idea of getting some historical romance authors together and we were absolutely psyched about it.

As an extra special treat, you can go to our YouTube channel and check out an interview with four of the authors from the anthology (Tabetha Waite, Kathleen Ayers, Charlie Lane, and Tracy Sumner). Also discussed: Veronica’s first book signing, spooky season, and f*cking COVID.

    Back to our regularly scheduled programming, we read Muffin Top by Avery Flynn! BBW heroine Lucy is debating going home to her 15th high school reunion when her best friend’s soon-to-be brother-in-law plops down in the chair opposite her and offers to be her date. Frankie is on a self-imposed celibacy streak and is looking forward to the distraction. What could possibly go wrong? They definitely won’t fall in love with all that fake dating and forced proximity. Also discussed: The Olympics (!!!!!), Veronica’s upcoming book signings and special editions (pre-order form here!), and inexplicably, Jurassic Park.
