A queen of smut is in the house today! We're so excited to have Katee Robert on. She's quickly becoming one of Bridget's favorite romance authors and her books are beyond steamy!

And of COURSE how she writes such HEAT and heart. 

ALSO - that we all wish that the Beast stayed the Beast and didn't become human!

Buy her books!

What a conversation with Nalini Singh! We have been so fortunate by the authors who have said yes to our new podcast and this was one of our craziest ones yet!

In season 1 of the podcast, we somehow managed to review two books of Nalini's that weren't in her two most popular series! Rock Hard and Cherish Hard were both excellent contemporary romances (even though that is definitely not our main genre). We were so excited to talk to Nalini because Shani is a massive Psy Changelings & Guild Hunter Fan and Bridget crushed through the whole Guild Hunter series is like 2 weeks! 

Enjoy our tour through Nalini's writing, publishing life, inspirations, travel destinations, favorite characters, and more. 

YES, WE DID ASK ABOUT AODHAN AND ILLIUM ;)

We had a great time in this town full of quirky characters enjoying Brooks and Mal's sweet and steamy romance. Brooks brings his straight co-worker Paul home to his TN town Licking Thicket to help out his family, and also put a buffer between him and his family. His HS ex who he broke up with and outed himself to in front of the whole town comes home also with a fake boyfriend... who is gay. 
See where we are going with this? Hijinks ensue in a fun way as they "swap" fake partners!

Three cheers for the excellent use of lube in this book. And for mixing the sweet and steam very well. 

If you missed our awesome interview with May and Lucy, make sure you check it out. They were so fun to talk to about romance and writing MM romance, writing with a partner, and how much money they make on Amazon publishing under Kindle Unlimited.

Excellent writing duo talks steamy mm romance, writing what you love, finding your niche, and crushing in on Amazon Unlimited. 

This interview with Lucy Lennox and May Archer was awesome! We happened to catch them on a writing retreat (all attendees got Covid tests & quarantined before) so we got the in-person fun and energy! They were completely forthright about how much money they are making as indie authors on Amazon Unlimited, as well as how their partnership came to be!

And of course, we talked Licking Thicket!

A city boy falls for a farmer in this angsty romance. The beginning was definitely a slow start for us, and hard to get in touch with Olu, but Griff stole our hearts in a big way. 

If you didn't listen to our awesome interview with Talia Hibbert, make sure you go back and check out that episode! So amazing to talk to her and there is a full transcription of the podcast on the website.

Also - we teased our new chibi coloring book, Color Me Romance and it is SOOOOO fucking cute we can't even. Make sure you check out the website or IG to get your copy for yourself or your loved ones. 

Things we talked through in this review: 

• Olu's depression and anxiety and how it made it hard for us to get into his character, but had a great payoff in his evolution as a character
• Griff and Rebecca's friendship
• Griff being into all people - doesn't like to define it
• Griff being a sexy farmer who doesn't know his worth
• Olu telling Griff to stand up for his ideas
• Their mutual anxiety over whether the other person is happy with them
• Rebecca staying in the tiny town because she doesn't want to leave Griff
• Griff's slow courtship with Olu until he was ready
• Their great sessions!! Talia writes sex scenes with emotion so well
• Griff immediately deciding he would leave the town to be with Olu
• Olu taking his medication and asking for help from his friends and family

Talia's books we talked about: 

Get a life Chloe Brown

Take a Hint Dany Brown

This book was deliciously sexy and quick to read. We had Tessa Bailey on the podcast on Tuesday, if you missed that interview make sure you check it out!

This book was such a steamy read. Bridget was super happy to get Tessa Bailey back into season 5 of the podcast after Heat Stroke in season 3. And was not disappointed by the quality of the sexytimes in this book. FOR REALZ, Tessa brings the heat. 

Some fun plot points we discussed: 

• Story's ex-fiance being a jackass
• Her friendship with her college roommate
• Falling quickly in lust with Daniel
• Her matchmaking dad Jack
• Story deciding to try to find her old adventurous self
• Getting reallll horny at the baseball game (what else is there to do baseball is so boring!!)
• Story calling Daniel "dude" like a true Californian
• This story isn't really a suspense romance though Daniel is a hostage negotiator

The Queen of dirty talk is here! We are so happy to welcome Tessa Bailey to Authors at a Glance. She was an absolute riot and we got into how she writes such steamy books, her writing series, working with multiple publishers, and of course, so much more.

In Bridget's defense, she read the series a long time ago and probably should have just picked one of her favorites, but she thought it was important to start from the beginning of the troubleshooter... but probably should have picked book 2 or 3 to start!

Ann (Bridget's sister) reprises her role as guest host and to be honest, this was recorded the week of the election and so we were a bit all over the place reviewing this book. We had a great time reminiscing about our favorite books in the series (Bridget naturally needs her mind jiggered by the sex scenes) and all in all it is a fun hour! 

We hope this brings you some laughter as always and makes you wanna get it on with some Navy Seals. 

• If you missed our interview with Suz in the previous  episode make sure you check it out!
• This book actually was the least suspenseful of the series
• We absolutely loved the subplot with David and Mallory (who is Tom's niece)
• The WW2 subplot
• Kelly and Tom re-learning about the other as adults
• How Suzanne allows her characters to grow throughout the books
• Sexy times in a closet where they almost get caught
• The old men getting so excited about being in on the action
• and more!
