Are you smuggling love? Do you have a complicated network of criminals selling sexiness? Are those counterfeit kisses? Well you’re in trouble because today we’re doing FBI Agents! For this federally-funded episode we read “A Lot Like Love (FBI/US Attorney Book 2)” by Julie James and “Meridian (Mirror Series Book 1)” by Kirby Crow. Our undercover hosts discuss sweater vest suit sets; CSI: Wine Club; and a favorite FMK lesson: it’s not good writing if it’s googleable.

Do you enjoy handling balls? Having a crowd? And quite a bit of dribbling? Then this episode is for you because today we’re doing Basketball! For this 3-pointer of an episode, we read “His Best Shot: The L.A. Stars Series, Book 1” by J. Nichole and “Love and Sportsball: Atlanta Cannons, Book 1” by Meka James. Our athletics hosts discuss a book one that’s actually a book 4 (as we discover in Christine’s notes), messy wife drama, and that Claire is the annoying white girl on the team.

122. Podcasters!

We can hardly believe it, listeners, but it’s been seven years since we started this silly little podcast. And we’ve decided to celebrate ourselves, which is why today we’re doing Podcasters! For this binge-worthy episode, we read “Knot My Type (All Access Series Book 1)” by Evie Mitchell and “The Romantic (The Vers Podcast Book 2)” by Riley Hart. Our golden-voiced hosts discuss books that don’t deliver on a kink, teenage mutant ninja turtles, and when characters are so ignorant about things that it ruins the worldbuilding.

121. Tentacle Monsters!

New year, same ridiculousness. That’s right, listeners, we are back on our shit with Tentacle Monsters!! We’d gotten a little too highfalutin and wanted to get back to our roots. So today we read “Tentacle Entanglement: A smutty fantasy romance” by Siggy Shade and “Tentacles and Teeth: A Consorting with Monsters Novella” by Rowan Merrick. Our many-appendaged hosts discuss the horrors of having super hearing, wiggly penis critters, and have an incredibly important (and quotable) revelation about tentacle kink.

120. Happy Holidays!

If a blizzard of romcoms every year have taught us anything, it’s that the holidays are RIFE with romantic potential, and that’s why today we’re doing the holidays! For this festive episode, we read “A Mistletoe Affair (Wintersage Weddings Book 2)” by Farrah Rochon and “Mistletoe & Mishigas (Teachers in Love)” by M. A. Wardell. Our jolly hosts discuss the infallibility of polling data, when Drag Race quotes don’t belong in the bedroom, and some of the best future in-laws we’ve ever read!

119. Great British Bake-Off!

Whether your love life is a layered as a mille-feuille, your relationship is as finicky as a croquembouche, or dating has left you with a soggy bottom, we can all agree that nothing lifts the spirits like the Great British Bake-Off! And that’s exactly why we’re doing it today! For this sweet and savory episode we read “Bake Off at the Bennet Bakery: A Jane Austen Inspired Sweet Contemporary Romance” by V N Murray and “Mangos and Mistletoe: A Foodie Holiday Novella” by Adriana Herrera. Our handshake-hankering hosts discuss a soggy-bottomed adaptation, characters forgetting what Zoom is, and the hot new (to us) trope: magic pussy.

118. San Francisco!

Love may be as warm as soup in a bread bowl, as twisting as Lombard street, or as spontaneous as two strangers hooking up in the bathroom at The Cafe. And that’s why today we’re doing San Francisco! For this episode, we read “Sullivan’s Woman” by Nora Roberts and “Owning Regina: Diary of my unexpected passion for another woman” by Lorelei Elstrom. For this extra foggy episode, our hosts discuss coked up seagulls, Nora Roberts feminism, and cooking and vibing to Philip Glass.

117. Signs!

Are you looking for someone with the nurturing love of a Virgo? The sizzling sex appeal of a Scorpio? The Aquarius’ ability to carry a pot of water? No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it in the stars and that’s why today we’re doing Zodiac Signs! In this celestial episode (celespisode?), we read “Taurus Untamed (Fated By Starlight Book 3)” by January Bell and “Cancer Ships Aquarius (Signs of Love Book 5)” by Anyta Sunday. Our hosts discuss vampire bugs, someone not knowing what the eggplant emoji means, and that apparently they’ve been playing FMK wrong this whole time.

116. Cupids!

The Ancient Greeks believed that a tiny little winged god flew around, shooting people with arrows and making them fall in love. The Ancient Greeks also believed love was a form of madness, so there we are. But that’s why today we’re doing Cupids! Today we read “A Little Bit Cupid (Entangled Bliss)” by Jennifer Shirk and “Blessed by the Cupid Distribution System: A Cozy and Steamy Lesbian Paranormal Romance” by Robin Jo Margaret. Our cupidinous hosts ask all the important questions: what are the stakes for a cupid to go on a date with a human? What did the world-saving kiss feel like? And why is everyone having sex in public?
