We’re back with the first book review of the year, which just so happens to be the viral sensation Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage. Emmy Ryder is coming home to Meadowlark, Wyoming after an injury… that her family doesn’t actually know about. She’s helping out around the family ranch and winds up spending more time with her brother’s best friend, Luke Brooks. Emmy thinks Luke is an irresponsible playboy. But is he? Emmy’s going to find out. Is the book overhyped? Absolutely not—totally worth the hype. Is it hot as they say? Absolutely yes—also totally worth the hype. Also discussed: serial unaliver romance, why Rae isn’t allowed to pick movies anymore, and Veronica’s upcoming book.

Merry Effing Christmas dear listeners! As our gift to you, we’re releasing our holiday episode one week early (aren’t you lucky?). This week, we’re talking about Snowed In by Catherine Walsh. In order to get through the holidays with a buffer, childhood school mates Christian and Megan agree to forge a fake relationship—Megan because she hasn’t been home since she pulled a runner on her wedding day, and Christian because he’s the last single person in his family. It’s a mutually beneficial situation with no complications. Right? Everything will be fine. Also discussed: our Christmas presents to each other, Bridgerton season 3, and our ability (or inability) to keep plants alive.

In one of the biggest surprises we’ve had this year, we present to you, dearest listeners, The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson. Mackenzie Carter teams up with Noah Taylor in a relationship-of-convenience shifter romance. Mackenzie wants to get her grandma off her back and Noah is potentially in trouble with the hospital board for concealing his alpha status. Mackenzie will pretend to be his mate, solving both of their problems. The thing is, Mackenzie is also keeping a secret. Also discussed: Real doll customizations, the early days of the podcast, and the shock of coming to the end of year three.

Folx, it’s a rough review this week. We wanted to cover something that people are in denial about. We settled upon Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. We’ve read amazing novels from this author, however, this was not one of them. If you wanted to hear us lose our minds for an hour, this is the episode for you. Also discussed: the wonders of Reddit, how the 90s held different standards of human behavior, and what a swinging dildo actually does.

The ladies are both getting ill again, and not in the fun 90’s r&b kind. This week it’s another ARC for us with The Plot Twist by Erin La Rosa. Sophie is a blocked romance writer who’s never been in love and Dash is a recovering alcoholic and child start trying to find their path. Along the way they gravitate toward each other and struggle to find if what they’re experiencing is the big ‘L’ word. Also discussed: Novella November, being proud of Ohio (for once), and our magic spells for yo’ dick.

Crossover month concludes with another spooky book: An Inheritance of Monsters by Cate Corvin. Please welcome back special guest Ween from the Booze, Boobs, and Blood podcast! This book was her pick, so if you hate it, blame her. (Kidding.) When ghosthunter Juno gets an exclusive invitation to live in the most haunted house in America, she can’t refuse. And when she finds out monsters live under her bed… and in her closet… and in her bathtub… she isn’t exactly upset about it. Also discussed: voice actors, horror film marathons, and other spooky things.
