Happy Friday, Readers! This was our first Hot & Bothered episode published almost a year ago on our Patreon, right after we had finished reading Fourth Wing. (Please forgive our general Violet snarkiness.) We have a handful of others H&B episodes we'll be posting on random Fridays, let us know what you think and if you'd like to see more of these.

--------------------------------------

The theory: some readers can skim past a bad heroine for a vicarious romance with a shadow daddy, while others may DNF a book if they can't relate to the POV. We suspect this might account for the vast discrepancies in ratings in our beloved genre.

What do you think? Can you overlook a Violet to get to a Xaden?
