Heaving Bosoms

Happy Thanksgiving, American HBs! We're so thankful to and for you, listener, no matter where you're from. What better way to show that than with a themed episode?! We bring you THANKSGIVING by Janet Evanovich! It's a book we expected to love because we love Stephanie Plum so much, but were mostly confused, amused, and amazed by. Join us on this journey where two eccentric narcissists non sequitur each other into love. Maybe? We think? Thanksgiving is involved! 

*if you'd like to advertise on Heaving Bosoms email [email protected] it's a pretty cheap!*

Bonus Content: 

Hansel and Gretel jokes, Erin's drunken excursions into Colonial Williamsburg, old-timey dick joke hilarity, *Bing Boong Bong* Mandatory Reporters with Erin, nose obsessions, INSANE reading by Melody, and so much more! 

Lady Loves: 

Melody: Listen to Wicked Wallflowers Club's episode with Angelina M. Lopez HERE! It's so empowering regarding how podcasting is one more way to celebrate romance and connect with other romance lovers. Angelina also opens up about her 20 year journey to becoming a romance author and it's an inspiring take on setting boundaries, embracing your limits, flexing your writing muscles in other, small ways, and then really committing when the time and idea are right. And I'm so thankful for our sister podcasts WWC, Fated Mates, and Black Chick Lit. We have been embraced by some truly brilliant and wonderful women and you should listen to them all!  

Erin: ...have you heard of snack olives? They make these little packages of olives that are a tiny tasty treat. 

PATREON SHOUT OUT:

Kimberly L, you are descended from Priapus, a rustic god of abundance, guardian domesticated animals, a protector bees and gardens, and a fixture in humorous tales. You are a wonderfully sweet soul who connects easily with animals and you serve as a refuge to many, animal and human alike. You project a safe, protective vibe without trying, and yet, you manage to also be boisterous and fuckin' hilarious. Finally, and I’m not sure if anyone has told you this before, but you give off some serious BDE. That’s Big Dick Energy for the uninitiated. You can than Priapus for that, too, because he had a famously large penis. So. Get on with your bad self, Kimberly. And never change.

Wanna Bet by Betsy Dudak! 

Harper McReynolds a single mother of two, with a troubled history, who needs stability for herself and her daughters. Randall gives her all she asks for in a boyfriend—kindness, predictability, structure, and routine. Harper's head keeps trying to remind her that she doesn't want the bad boy who makes her combust every time she's near him.

Brody Reed's addiction claimed a brother's trust and started his own downward spiral. Growing tired of life on the road, a woman at every concert and a dependency on liquid courage, Brody put his life back together piece by broken piece. But the woman he lusts after may just shatter all of this.

An off-handed bet Brody and Harper make after a passionate kiss may change everything for them. Will they gamble on their hearts to prove to each other they are all in? Or when the stakes get too high, will they fold and walk away?

Patreon Shout Out: 

Jenny Whitty, you are the lovechild of Eutychia, goddess of happiness, and Elpis, goddess of hope. From Eutychia you get your positive outlook, sunny disposition, and practice of random acts of kindness. Whether it’s big, like volunteering, or small, like introducing us to the reading sexy mudflap girl, you’re always there to lift others up. Now, the Greeks weren’t super into hope, they more saw it as an extension to human suffering, and there’s something sort of beautiful about that. So, from Elpis, goddess of hope, you get your healthy coping mechanisms and ability to take on big challenges. Life hasn’t been all roses and sunshine for you, but you push through the trials and pain and come out stronger on the other side because a big part of hope is belief, or faith, in yourself.

Emmi S., you are the lovechild of Themis and Eos. Themis was a Greek Titaness in charge of order and fairness. You get the solid head on your shoulders from her. She also built the Oracle of Delphi and was, herself, orcacular, so that might explain how you broke the mold on those tattoos from your youth. You’ve always just KNOWN. Meanwhile, Eos is the goddess of dawn and new beginnings. She is where you get the bravery to start fresh and realize your dreams, no matter where you are in life. So you keep lacing up, working hard, and meeting your heroes, Emmi. You’re a goddamned inspiration.
