Hey pals! Happy Valentine's Day, but more importantly Alison's conception day! Today, we're kicking off the YA romance deep dive you've all been waiting for with A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Follow human badass/archer Feyre as she gets sucked into the dangerous and super sexy world of faeries, where she meets this feral blond hunk, Tamlin, and reenacts Beauty and Beast pretty much beat for beat. Listen to beautiful descriptions of color and light and shape, as well as lips and teeth and tongue. No spoilers for the rest of the series, so read (or reread) along with us, or just have some fun chatting about this bonkers faerie world.

Hey pals! Welcome to our second Watch Along, where we're chatting about BRIDGERTON season 1, episode 2. In this episode, we learned about Simon's tragic backstory™/mommy issues and Daphne displays her complete lack of critical thinking skills. Alison gives you a bunch of random history knowledge you never asked for, Rachel demands more loyalty at first sight, and we talk about the total lack of cats in the Bridgerton universe. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we’re raving over SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE by Tia Williams. Eva and Shane are two authors doing the absolute most, writing each other into their books for the over a decade since they spent a week together in June in high school. This book is absolutely dramatic and absolutely one of the most romantic contemporaries we've read. We adored this book and we also got pretty silly with it. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we’re raving over listener suggestion ISN'T IT BROMANTIC? by Lyssa Kay Adams. We've got a modern day, friends to lovers, marriage of convenience, sports romance starring cinnamon roll hero and IBS king, Vlad, and hard-hitting reporter, only-wears-one-sweater heroine, Elena. It's the fourth book in the Bromance Book Club series and it's filled with pro-cheese propaganda and a bonkers ending that actually makes sense! Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! We're welcoming in the new year with one of the most iconic historical romances of all time, LORD OF SCOUNDRELS by Loretta Chase. And we're super excited to welcome Jessen and Juliette from the Smart Women Read Romance podcast, fellow family podcasters and Twilight fans. Our hero, Dain, is the ultimate bad boy with a gooey center--and he looks like Adam Driver to boot! Our heroine Jessica Trent is the ultimate badass who isn't afraid to shoot a man who's wronged her. This book is so good that it made Alison momentarily forget about her hatred of the French language. Enjoy the show!

Hi folks and Happy New Year! We're on a break this week, so enjoy this rerelease of part 1 of our chat on THE KISS QUOTIENT by Helen Hoang. We'll see you next week with a new episode!

Hey pals! Today, we’re raving over THE KISS QUOTIENT by Helen Hoang. Stella is an autistic econometrician who hires sex worker Michael to give her sex lessons. Things quickly head down the fake dating route and suddenly these two dummies are falling for each other (oh, who could have seen that coming?!). This book is so cute and funny that we had to talk about it twice. Enjoy part one!

Happy holidays, comrades! We're on a break for the end of the year, so here's a rerelease of our most popular episode so far, written by the woman who outsold the Bible this year. Enjoy this relisten and we'll see you in the new year.

Hey pals! Today, we put our serotonin levels in the hands of contemporary queen Colleen Hoover with listener suggestion UGLY LOVE. Meet Miles, a broody airplane pilot who desperately needs therapy, and Tate, a nurse with a love of OJ and a refusal to take no for an answer. This book took us on a rollercoaster from angry to depressed to happy until we came out loving it. We think Colleen might be some sort of warlock, tbh.

Happy holidays, pals! Welcome to our last book of the year, A HOLLY JOLLY DIWALI by Sonya Lalli. Our heroine Niki has a lot of generational trauma and a (possible too much?) horny imagination. Niki bops around the world, briefly loses her mind and considers moving to a whole new country for a man she's known for two weeks, and gets a grand gesture just in time for Christmas. 

As of the release of this episode, the HarperCollins workers are still striking. Please support them any way you can. They have two of the biggest romance imprints in the biz (Avon and Harlequin), so support the people who make your favorite books possible.

Hey pals! Today, we're joined by Aaron and Bree from The Categorically Romance Podcast to swoon over this delicious treat of a category romance, SANTA, BABY by Lisa Renee Jones! We cackle our way through this book that is wildly hot and wildly bonkers. It features Caron, a bookstore owner/good girl™, and Baxter, the CEO of fictional Starbucks. There's also not one but two FBI agents, some white collar crime, a magical Marilyn Monroe wig, and, sadly, absolutely no kidnapping. Enjoy the show!
