Kate and Doree discuss Coronavirus, Kate’s self-care practices around the anniversary of her mom’s death, and Doree’s current makeup and skincare faves. Then they’re joined by Leah and Bea Koch, owners of the romance bookstore The Ripped Bodice. They chat about their uniquely different skincare routines, how the increasing diversity in both authors and protagonists is leading to a more inclusive romance genre, their work bring romance to TV, and Bea’s new book Mad & Bad: Real Heroines of the Regency Era.
