Sip, Savor, and Swoon

Jackie and Sarah discuss A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, the first book in the ACOTAR series.

We’re talking Feyre, Tamlin, Rhysand, Spring Court drama, Beauty and the Beast vibes, questionable choices, romantasy chaos, and the fictional men romance readers still fight about.

Sarah is an ACOTAR fan. Jackie has concerns. Wine is involved.

Get ready for an out-of-this-world romance, Book Goblins! In this episode of Sip, Savor & Swoon, we’re diving into All I Wanted Was A Glass of Vino, But an Alien Duke Kidnapped Me Instead by Petra Palerno. Join Sarah and Jackie as they unpack the chaotic romance between Marta, a fiery Italian-American heroine with mob family baggage, and Raf’ere, a 7’6” aquatic alien duke who kidnaps her in the name of fate. (Because, obviously, that’s how true love begins!)

We’re breaking down all the best (and most questionable) romantic decisions, including forced proximity, fated mates, and whether love can truly bloom after an abduction. Plus, we’ll dish on our favorite swoon-worthy moments, our go-to alien romance tropes, and even read some hilariously brutal or not so brutal 1-star reviews.

Buckle up, babes, because Season 2 is kicking off with a bang—literally. In this episode, Jackie and Sarah dive into All I Wanted Was Sushi But Got Abducted By Aliens Instead by Petra Palerno. We’re talking alien abductions, unexpected romance, and more.

Is it kidnapping if he’s hot? Can you fall for someone with questionable tentacle placement? And most importantly, would YOU give up Earth’s sushi for an alien mate? We’ve got thoughts.

Grab your wine (or intergalactic beverage of choice), and let’s get abducted together. 

Book Goblins, grab your wine glasses—it’s time to uncork Season 2 of Sip, Savor & Swoon!

Grab your mulled wine and settle in for a holiday episode like no other! This month, we are joined by a very special guest—Sarah’s sister, Christina—who handpicked this month’s book The Court of Sugar and Spice: A Nutcracker Retelling by Rebecca F. Kenney. Sounds festive, right? Well…let’s just say it was a mixed bag of sugar, spice, and maybe some cringe.

Expect plenty of laughs as we unpacks our thoughts on this delightfully over-the-top, super spicy, and wildly one-dimensional tale (except for one character who actually had depth—thank goodness!). Did the romance sweep us off our feet or leave us spinning like a broken ballerina? Tune in to find out!

Plus, we keep the holiday cheer going with a hilarious game of "Would You Rather?" featuring festive dilemmas that might just make you rethink your holiday fantasies.

Get ready for laughter, lighthearted banter, and a whole lot of holiday magic—or mischief!
