                  • Episode 4 – Branded Ann

                    Boy howdy are we ready to talk about Branded Ann by Merry Shannon.

                    Conley, Foley, Anne, and Brenna really ate their Wheaties this week, so it’s a lively discussion of annoying children, canis ex machina, eyeball skritches, and of course boob touching.  We found this book was more of an adventure-romance than romance-adventure, but either way there’s kissing, so we’re good.

                    But of course you know all this because you already read the book. But if you want to pick up another copy, do so using the links below to support our podcast — we get the tiniest of kickbacks from Amazon when you buy via these links.
