Listener recommendations:

  • Simply Irresistible by Rachel Gibson (@a_huszka)
  • @HannahHeartsRomance begrudgingly admitted to liking Scoring the Player’s Baby by Naima Simone despite not liking this trope.
  • @Phoenixindacity and @b.andherbooks seconded Kini’s recommendation for Bountiful by Sarina Bowen, and Phoenix also seconded The Cad and the Co-Ed.
  • @MarisaElaineGettas loves Fumbled by Alexa Martin.
