Hey HBs!! The pals are back with HOW THE MARQUESS WAS WON by Julie Anne Long! When we left off, Jules had asked Phoebe to become his mistress and she turned him down HARD. Now these two crazy kids are, unbeknownst to either of them, both heading to London for more balls and other EnglandTimes ish. While Phoebe basks in the glow of being the crowd favorite, he discovers a dastardly wager is behind it. Also, he still needs to marry her friend and why can't she just understand that?!

Bonus Content: lost cats, pronouncing "Pekingese" (and discovering how to spell it), more trend setting, doing a big She's All That on her, the Antarctic, pelisses: the trench coats of EnglandTimes, and so much more!

Lady Loves:

Sabrina: baby powder instead of dry shampoo! There's, shockingly, no noticeable difference.

Mel: having a friend like Sabrina who will read out of order even though it HURTS HER to make the recording. It's such a huge act of love!

Hey HBs!! Mel and Sabrina are recapping HOW THE MARQUESS WAS WON by Julie Anne Long! We've got a lowly school teacher who is drafted to be the paid companion of a former pupil and a Marquess who has a plan, gosh darnit! And it does NOT include becoming enamored of his hopeful fiancée's pal! But there's a country party, an opera singer, a forest ramble, and a final dance party that will prove too much for him to resist temptation!

Bonus Content: more texting faux pas, HUGE growth from Sabrina that will never be repeated, another stoic hero who's catnip, naming characters with word association and phonetic slides, cunning linguists, universal American experiences, beaver/raccoon hats, and so much more!

Hey HBs!! We're back with part two of TRIPLE SEC by TJ Alexander! We jump right back in with a snowed-in vacation with only one fireplace! And that fireplace is utilized BEAUTIFULLY!

Bonus Content: rich people shit, useless Tops, gendered vs. neutral terms, a not-so-survival trope, and so much more!

Lady Loves:

Mel: checking out movies from the library and, more specifically, WAITRESS the musical! This is one of Mel's favorite shows of all time; Sara Bareilles wrote the score and her harmonies have always slayed her! Family movie time turned into Mel quietly crying into Ember's hair because everything was so beautiful.

Sabrina: interactions with HBs! HB Devon came through with some really great genetic statistics in answer to our call during our ep on A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER and HB Emily gave Sabrina a masterclass on the British upper crust during a chat about the Maiden Lane series. HBS ARE THE BEST.

Hey HBs! It's time to get to the spicy scenes in BUTCHER & BLACKBIRD by Brynn Weaver!! And whooweee did they deliver. In this second half, we've got a corpse puppet show (is that a tag now?), some excellent hurt/comfort into schmecksy times, and the most romantic proposal in the universe.... if you're a serial unaliver who loves an empty eye socket. Which she is! So that works out.

Bonus Content: surprise piercings, appetizers vs. feasts, Zippy Zac, and so much more!

Don't forget that this Friday is our Patreon Watch Party! We'll be devouring Magic Mike XXL, so strap in and strap on! This week our bonus episode is our August/September Reading Roundup, which really turned into a 7 Brides for 7 Alien Brothers series quickie.

Lady Loves:

Sabrina: Ms. Moody Money! After some life and financial changes, Sabrina wanted to make sure she was on track to be responsible and productive with her money. HB Kate at Ms. Moody Money was exactly the expert help she needed!!! Hard recommend.

Mel: Sometimes you do need things to get organized. Mel bit the bullet and bought a wall bike stand and some heavy duty shelves. As a result, she can park in her garage again!

Hey HBs! Today we're bringing you part 1 of THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY by Megan Bannen! Mercy is trying to save her family's undertaking business and things would be a lot easier if a certain surly marshal would just leave her alone. Meanwhile, Hart is a demigod just trying to do his job and this bright and shiny undertaker has nothing but rain clouds for him. But a letter addressed by the heart brings these enemies together in the most unexpected way!

Bonus Content: Mel flails at Sabrina via text because she had TOO MANY FEELINGS about this book!

Tomorrow we'll be back with the conclusion of this wonderful book. Take this opportunity to add it to your TBR!

Hey y’all! We’re popping into your feed with an exciting announcement: Heaving Bosoms is joining the BLEAV Network! (pronounced “believe”) First, HBs: THANK YOU for all your support! We got on their radar because you listen; without you, we’re shouting into the void. Y’all are so badass. 

We’re really excited about this next phase of Heaving Bosoms because there’s so much that happens behind the scenes and having the support of a network can be incredibly helpful. We want to grow the HB reader community, introduce more people to the joy of romance, and spend our time focusing on the recaps we deliver, instead of the nitty gritty admin that makes podcasts go. 

So! There will be a few changes for the foreseeable future: 

As a result, we’re also revamping our Patreon offerings! Everyone who is a member of the Consent Boner tier and up by Wednesday, 9/11 at 12pm ET will be grandfathered in with their current benefits PLUS same day and ad free episodes. After that, we’re rolling out new tiers that give you more power to mix and match to get the bennies you really want. Follow our socials for more info on that!

One thing we can promise, though, is that the show isn’t changing. We still have complete creative control, so don’t expect us to suddenly be staid and classy. You’ll be disappointed! 

Keep being a Badass! 

Melody and Sabrina
