Hey pals! Welcome to another episode of We Read It One Night with Alison, featuring return co-host, Elodie! We're talking about listener suggestion WHEN A SCOT TIES THE KNOT by Tessa Dare, aka the historical romcom Queen. Watch what happens when the fake fiance that bluestocking artist Maddie made up ten years ago only to fake kill off because she felt guilty for lying to her family shows up at her Scottish Highlands castle, alive, real, and hunky! Tessa turns marriage of convenience, epistolary, fake dating, found family, and more of your fav tropes on their heads. All of this in between our in-depth chat into the state of Romance books today, including Tiktok, the rise and fall of historicals, fanfic, online community, and more. Plus, tons of bonus book recs scattered throughout the episode. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, wrapping up Kiera Cass's Selection saga with THE ONE. We'll finally reveal whether the blonde teenage boy or the brown haired teenage boy wins the love triangle and explain how a book can be closed-door, no spice and still be a bodice ripper. The last 10% is shit-a-brick insane and the whole book makes much more sense when you remember it's Bachelor franchise fanfiction. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! It's our third anniversary and we're throwing our birthday party in the swamp, specifically the sexy sapphic swamp from Darva Green's SHE CAME FROM THE SWAMP. We're three years old now, and thankfully podcasts age like cats, because otherwise we'd be way too young to be reading smutty romance. We're celebrating all the support you've given us over three years as well as the love and joy we get from reading romance, and especially queer romance, in a world where a lot of people would rather we got neither. Here's to another great year!

Brazen banter: Stags striking out! Glass bottomed boats! What's the true definition of a murder cult? The complexities of being pulling by tiny dogs!

Hey pals! Spooky Season continues as Rachel and Alison dive into the first half of listener suggestion and iconic vampire romance in the Immortals After Dark series, LOTHAIRE by Kresley Cole. Lothaire, aka The Enemy of Old (dramatic, tbh), is the most morally grey hero to ever wear the color, and his FMC Ellie spends the entire book violently humbling him (as she should). This book hits 1000% of the time and we're obsessed--hope you will be too!
