Welcome back to another episode! This week we temporarily turn into a Bachelor podcast as we discuss Julie Murphy's contemporary retelling of Cinderella. What does our romance novel have in common with the reality series you ask? Listen to find out!

Sidenote, Genni's audio was recorded on a different mic than we normally use so pardon the quality difference. The episode is still a romp, I promise.

HELLO! We are so excited to kick off our second season after our very needed hiatus. Welcome back, or simply welcome if you're new, to our discussion about Helen Hoang's very emotional The Heart Principle. We talk about the importance of honesty, self-care, and telling your bullies to kick rocks. Drinking game, take a shot every time we say the phrase "F*** Priscilla."

In this episode, Kim confronts her fear of ... uh ... time travel? And the we make an ungodly amount of Age of Adeline references. We also rank our all the books we've covered so far and the results, aren't actually that surprising.

In this episode, Genni and Kim discuss what it is that makes the Big Gesture in romance so ... Big as they share their thoughts on N.G Peltier's first novel Sweethand.

There's pop culture galore as Genni and Kim gripe about the ... uh ... objectionable main character of this week's novel. What makes our main heroine such a pick-me girl, is Chase Black a lovable misunderstood hero or just an asshole, and how does one delete a text message after you've sent it??? Join us in this discussion of L.J Shen's new bully romance, The Devil Wears Black.

So we've been away for a minute, but we're back and this episode is more chaotic than ever. Fair warning there is plenty of squealing in this one as Genni and Kim are crushing on our protagonist Jacob Wayne hard. Join us for a laugh as we positively moon over Jacob and Eve's love story and prepare yourself for a very in depth conversation regarding a... uh twelve inch purple d*ldo!

Murder, polyamory, and BDSM, OH MY! Join us as we experience the ups and downs in this surprisingly short novel. We're thrown for a loop over the descriptions of rope play (see what I did there?), and the plot is ... just as confusing. Come for the promises of steamy BDSM overtones and stay just to figure out wtf is going on.

Okay, so we were lead astray and this book isn't *technically* romance, but we committed and it was too late to back out. Join Kim and Genni as we explore what makes a romance novel a Romance Novel vs. just a novel with romance in it. We also went through a bit of a life crisis along with our main characters; there was discussions of impending unemployment statuses, and how we're coping (or not).

Kim and Genni may not have had the best week, but they did have the *best* time reading this fantasy romance! In this slightly chaotic episode, they talk about how they have had to defend their love of romance IRL, discuss a rather *ahem* interesting letter that's been circulating Romancelandia (it involves an armpit being, erm, penetrated), and endlessly thirsting over the dashing warlord that is the hero of this week's novel.

Join two faithful fangirls as we squeal and swoon over Marcus Caster-Rupp and April Whittier. Genni calls Kim out for her hidden fanfiction, we recount all the tears we shed reading this book, and many many feels were had.
