Hey pals! Today, we're swooning, swearing, and slamming BRIDGERTON Season 2! We loved. We hated. And basically we died at this wildly evocative second season to Netflix's biggest hit. Kate and Anthony were the stuff of romance lover dreams. The rest...well, you'll just have to listen to find out. And if you want a refresher on what happened in the book first, don't forget to check out our episodes on THE VISCOUNT WHO LOVED ME: 14 & 15!
A correction from Alison: in the episode I say Johnathan Bailey is an Olivier Award nominee, but he's actually won the award for best actor!

Hey pals! Today, we’re raving over PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION by Emily Henry. Alex and Poppy met in a very Harry Met Sally-inspired moment and then proceeded to spend 12 years being best friends and not boning even once. Never fear, dear listener, while Emily Henry makes you earn this HEA, it is more than worth it. We love these two hot dummies and we are Emily Henry stans for life. Enjoy this absolutely flawless contemporary romance!
Brazen banter: Daylight Savings! Emily Henry is a senior cat! Your karaoke song! Separate bedrooms for couples!

Hey pals! Today, we’re falling in love with MARRYING WINTERBORNE by Lisa Kleypas. We have ultimate nouveau riche department store owner and Welsh daddy, Rhys Winterborne, and possibly the nicest person on Earth and orchid lover, Lady Helen Ravenel. These two losers fall in love and get into scrapes all around Victorian London and the British countryside, while being incredibly soft for each other. Comrades, he builds a giant greenhouse in the middle of London for her. All aboard the Winterborne train!
Brazen banter: Hyena redemption arcs! Introducing Pa! Peppermint creams! Sexual tension in historical romance!

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.

Hey pals! Today, Alison interviews Alison Cochrun, author of our first book of the year, THE CHARM OFFENSIVE! The Alisons talk about queer identity, neurodiversity, and mental health—and how the romance genre is a safe space to explore these identities. We also play a rousing game of Fuck, Marry, Kill and ask Alison to rate her next book on the cat scale.
Brazen banter: Taylor Swift fangirling! Queer holiday Hallmark movies! Trying to convince AC to write a queer paranormal romance!

Hey pals! Today, we’re raving over a 90s classic that is definitely a romance and not an action movie: THE MUMMY (1999), starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, playing Rick and Evie, respectively. Rick is a dashing rogue of a soldier/treasure hunter/general hot man and Evie is the super competent, super sexy archaeologist who steals his heart. Together, they'll find the ancient lost treasure of Hamunaptra, accidentally awaken its all-powerful mummy, and fight/kiss like hell to send him back to the Underworld. Though Rachel and Alison definitely were more than a little pro a Mummy/Rick/Evie threesome.
Brazen banter: Unnecessary sacrifices! The Brenaissance! Your bisexual awakening! A revelation about our fav animated film, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT!

Hey pals! Today, we’re raving over SAVANNAH'S SECRETS by Reese Ryan, a sexy workplace romance. Alison is joined by a special guest host as Rachel is off writing her dissertation. Our stomachs hurt after chatting about this book because we were laughing so hard and had so much fun. This one is a true delight about our gal Savannah, who is very good at her job but very bad at being a sleuth, and literal golden retriever/Black Thor, Blake, who is head over heels for her. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Hey pals! Today, we’re diving back into THE VISCOUNT WHO LOVED ME by Julia Quinn. We left Kate and Anthony just before they're about to engage in their famed pall mall game, where they once again practice violence as foreplay. Kate takes control of Anthony's balls (pun intended) and Anthony finally decides that telling a girl you like her does not make you look like a fool. Enjoy the conclusion of the love story of these two dweebs!
Brazen banter: How many tampons does a woman need in space? Anthony's foot fetish! Mrs. Featherington is actually Fran from The Nanny! Jerry Seinfeld to guest star in season 2 of Bridgerton!
