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!
Brazen banter: Gisele Bündchen is a witch! Autism in cats! Scare tactics! Married life financial advice!

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!

We have *limited edition* holiday merch up in our store, including ugly Christmas sweater designs, Hanukkah puns, and winter gags! It's only available for the month of December. Today, we’re kicking off our holiday episodes with SEASON OF LOVE by Helena Greer, a sapphic, Jewish, Hallmark Christmas movie of a romance that ticked all the boxes we didn't even know we had. Miriam and Noelle spend the book working to save the Christmas tree farm Miriam's great aunt and Noelle's mentor, Cass, left them. Helena really knows her Hallmark Christmas movie tropes, and she gives you them all with a twist. We have big city girl returns to her small town, we have sleigh rides, we have quirky townsfolk, we have a town literally called Advent. Enjoy the show as much as we enjoyed this book!

Hey pals! Today, we're celebrating the end of our journey through the Twilight Saga with part 2 of BREAKING DAWN by Stephenie Meyer. Edward and Bella finally have to face the biggest villain of all: Jacob Black, who wants to marry their infant daughter. Just kidding (kinda). They're gathering all their friends for a final face off against the Volturi. And Horny Bella takes the reigns! Watch the movie first so you don't spoil the greatest plot twist in cinematic history, and then come back and enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're bringing it back to the grand finale of the series that introduced us to romance with BREAKING DAWN by Stephenie Meyer. In part 1, Bella and Edward finally get married and do the nasty. Jacob sinks to new lows. And Leah and Seth Clearwater continue to be the best characters in this entire franchise. We also ask the important questions like: can vampires run at the speed of light? If they were struck by lightening, would they burst into flames? Why the heck does Edward take Bella on a honeymoon to his angsty depression city? All will be answered--and more!
TW: traumatic birth

Hey pals! We're kicking off year 2 of the pod with our long awaited, very first mafia romance: RUN POSY RUN by Cate C. Wells. Meet Dario Volpe, the numbers guy behind the mafia operation and also a psychopath (literally), and Posy, our heroine who is genuinely a whole-ass badass. These two dweebs love to play games and speak in chess metaphors. Dario kills a whole lot of people for Posy before learning how to have emotions, and Posy does a lot of running before getting her happily ever after. This book was delicious. Enjoy the show!
TW: dubious consent, graphic violence, and intimate partner violence. This is a full-on dark, mafia romance, so proceed with caution; there are likely other triggers we did not list.
Brazen banter: Houston's highways don't make sense! Rats and snitches! Capeesh! How to escape the trunk of a car!
