For this flavorful episode, we read “Vanessa Yu’s Magical Paris Tea Shop” by Roselle Lim and “Tea Leaves & Tourniquets: A Lesbian Romance” by Sienna Waters.

Today we read “Storm Warning: A Novella” by Nellie Wilson and “Outrun the Rain (The Storm Boys Series Book 1)” by N. R. Walker.

92. Fairytale Re-tellings!

Once upon a time, there was a silly little podcast that liked to talk about books about love and sex. The podcast became so popular that the hosts and producers were able to quit their jobs and become very famous and much beloved….right? We believe in fairytale endings, which is why today we’re doing Fairytale Retellings! For this magical episode we read “Mistress to the Beast” by Eve Vaughn and “The Princess and the Evil Queen: A Lesbian Romance Retelling of the Classic Fairytale Snow White” by Lola Andrews. Our magical hosts discuss the nebulous nature of bodegas, the one time Castilian breaks the fantasy, and Neil and Claire find their perfect karaoke song!

For this fresh from the kitchen episode, we read “Greek Tycoon, Waitress Wife (Bedded by Blackmail Book 11)” by Julia James and “Best Served: A Transgender Romance” by Cami Kates.

88. Rockstars!

Some like it hard and fast. Some like it slow and driving. And some even like it with black and what makeup and enormous hair. However you like it, there’s a fine line between sex and rock, which is why today we’re doing rockstars! For this banger of an ep, we read “Reckless Ambition: Issue #1 (Pretty Boy Rock Book 4)” by S. R. Watson and Ryan Stacks, and “Moonlight Becomes You (Lucky Moon Book 1)” by M. J. O’Shea and Piper Vaughn. Our headbanging hosts discuss reframing the power dynamic for people who get fucked, the dichotomy of one book having too many scenes and one book not having enough, and that even rockstars need to check their emails.

87. Gardeners!

Not only are flowers terribly romantic, but they can predict love using the ancient and forbidden magics of “They Love Me, They Love me Not.” And that’s precisely why today we’re doing gardeners! For this fragrant episode we read “Night Gardening” by E. L. Swann and “The Midnight Gardener: A YA Urban Fantasy Gay Romance (The Town of Superstition Book 1)” by R. G. Thomas. Our perennial discuss the sleeping habits of sports people; the sheer, blinding rage when a book DOESN’T have an HEA; and manage to spoil books that aren’t even part of the episode!
