In today’s episode, I am talking with one of THE most popular and one of my all-time favorite romance authors, Tessa Bailey, about her new romance book release, Dream Girl Drama, a spicy, sports rom-com with a forbidden love story that continues her popular Big Shots series! We also chat about:

• Her inspiration for this romance book and this sports romance series,
• What readers are going to love about Sig and Chloe,
• Her favorite scene from Dream Girl Drama, and
• The special announcement that Dream Girl Drama will be the March 2025 Book of the Month for the She Reads Romance Books Book Club!

We also had fun tossing around some obscure sports to see if she could envision writing a romance book about them!

Be sure to join the She Reads Romance Books Book Club where we will be discussing Dream Girl Drama this March with Tessa Bailey joining us for the Author Q&A on Zoom on March 26.

Plus, when you join the Club, you will also gain access to the exclusive, extended video interview to hear even more from Tessa such why she reads romance, her favorite romance books and more!
