15 - A Week To Be Wicked


Listen Later

Becca and Corinne make good on their promise from Episode 8.5 to read a romance novel. This week they discuss how the literature world at large has often maligned romance and they talk about the book they chose, A Week To Be Wicked by Tessa Dare. Becca pitches her perfect romance novel and the ladies pick out their pen names. Does this podcast have an HEA? You'll have to listen to find out.

Our next discussion is going to be An American Marriage by Tayari Jones.
