We continue our Pride month celebration with our returning guest, Lee (!!), for Satisfaction Guaranteed by Karelia Stetz-Waters—a grumpy/sunshine-esque, opposites attract, F/F romance. Cade is a buttoned up, by the books, shy and serious art gallery owner and Selena is a free spirit with an open mind and a love of sex and sensuality. When the two are paired to save a dying sex toy store, sparks fly, but will they burn hot enough for a long-term relationship? Also discussed: a singlet Pride onesie, slippery middles, and heartthrobs of 2004. If you like what you hear and want more – first, BLESS YOU – and second, please consider donating to our Patreon.

The ladies are kicking off Pride Month a day early with A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall. In this historical romance, we follow Viola, a trans woman re-building her life and living her truth, and her best friend, The Duke of Gracewood. Except… she hasn’t spoken to Gracewood for two years. Oh, and he thinks she’s dead. Alexis Hall may have drawn us in, but the premise was certainly intriguing, and Hall does not disappoint. Also discussed: defining characteristics of a tuna melt (the sandwich), the 90s classic She’s All That, and our general elation that we have examples at the ready for our Adam and Eve cards.

We close out Asian Heritage month with an ARC of Circling Back to You by Julie Tieu (releases July 15). Coworkers Cadence and Matt end up teammates on a mission to close a real estate deal that Matt is having a hard time closing on his own. As a result, Cadence’s planned vacation turns more into a work trip complete with networking, shmoozing, and golf. Will these friends be able to acknowledge their romantic feelings for each other - or will potential job opportunities in different cities keep them apart? The ladies also discuss Laura Dern being a badass in Jurassic Park, Matching Rom-Com Love Exclamations to the corresponding movie, The Surreal Life (thank you, internet), how we actually have a book reference for our Year of Sex Card, and the absolute impossibility that Rae still has pretty skin, despite her lackluster skincare regimen.

We close out “Authors You Should Know” month with S.L. Prater’s Robin Hood #steamysteampunk reimagining, “Of Heists and Hexes.” On opposite sides of the law, Sheriff Noah Nottingham fights his attraction to the beautiful witch thief Robin Hood, but soon finds he’d rather be binding her up for something more than law enforced penalization (giggity). We’d also like to thank the hysterical and wonderful S.L. Prater for sitting down to talk with us. The ladies also discussed how you’d have to pay them to read Outlander (visit our Patreon!), Rae makes a journey of self discovery, and how the description of a certain sex act left them sort of speechless.

You can purchase Of Heists and Hexes here.

To start off “Authors You Should Know” month, the ladies are indulging in the oreo-fueled steamy hockey romance Consider Me by Becka Mack. When Hit-It-and-Quit-It Vancouver Vipers star Carter Beckett meets pint-sized phys ed teacher with a rapacious wit, Olivia Parker, his life is turned upside down. Can Carter prove to Ollie that he’s more than just a pretty face and convince her to at least consider him? The ladies would also like to thank the amazing and delightful Becka Mack for sitting down and talking with us. Also discussed on the episode: another sad A Year of Sex card, Rae mishearing a name and thinking it was a fast food joint, and a swear jar competition for charity.

The number 13 isn’t really lucky, friends. The ladies delve into the highly anticipated sophomore season of the Netflix “adaptation” of Julia Quinn’s romance novel series Bridgerton, with The Viscount Who Loved Me. The girls didn’t come to play, dear listeners, as the #raerage hits an all time high. The ladies present a deep dive into all 8 episodes; so spoilers abound! However, if you’ve read the book and are on the fence about watching the show, we may be doing you a favor. If you are looking for 8 hours of Regency era angsty romance, come for Anthony Bridgerton’s bare butt and the Colin Firth-style pond scene, and stay for the opulent sets and gorgeous soundtrack.

You can stream Bridgerton Season 2 on Netflix.

The ladies are a day late with this one, but it’s worth it. This week, the ladies discuss the basis for season 2 of the exceedingly popular Netflix series Bridgerton – The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn. In this book, we follow 29-year-old Anthony Bridgerton on his quest to find a wife. Anthony’s duties as the viscount essentially require him to marry and produce an heir, which he’s willing to do. What he’s *not* willing to do is marry a woman who could ever fall in love with. Anthony sets his sights on the diamond of the season – 17yo Edwina Sheffield. (Yes, we know it’s gross.) However, Anthony didn’t anticipate Edwina’s 20-year-old sister Kate being such a problem. Not only is Kate vehemently opposed to a potential marriage between Anthony and Edwina, but… Anthony is entranced by her – and that simply cannot do. Also discussed: belated Christmas presents, the new Pixar film Turning Red, and Vanessa Carlton.

You can buy The Viscount Who Loved Me here, but please do inquire at your local bookstore.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Bridgerton Season 2 and our episode of Julia Quinn's The Viscount Who Loved Me, we are re-posting our 3rd episode on her first novel in the series, The Duke and I. The ladies understand that they're in the minority regarding their feelings towards this book, but learn what finally turned them against it. Rae throws in some historical Regency era facts and enjoy the short lived "Obligatory America's Ass" segment. Also, one of the ladies describes her dream board which involves a threesome with a certain Bridgerton star on at least 2 different countries.
