This podcast is like a warm hug, if a warm hug also made the best jokes. When things get hectic this is the one podcast I keep up with, without fail. Come for recaps and commentary on a perfectly curated cross section of romance books; stay for the callbacks, community, and joy. HB is my lady love. (PS—I know the list is long, but Priestess by Kara Reynolds is the best thing I’ve read in so so long and I’d LOVE to hear you discuss on pod!)
The first episode I listened to was on Dark Lover by JR Ward, and even though I also loved those books when I first read them 20 years ago, I couldn’t stop laughing at Melody’s reactions and how problematic they are now. I love all the content, old and new, eps where the hosts love the books or hate them, free and Patreon content. It’s all amazing! As for my rec, I’ve been reading books by Emily Antoinette, and there are so many elements in all of the books that I suspect both Melody and Sabrina would love. She has both a monster series and an alien series, and I recommend all of them. Even though I know it could be years before my rec comes up on the list.
Found this podcast thru A Date with Dateline podcast. So happy to have a new duo to listen to. Makes me laugh out loud by myself. Started from the beginning. Definitely give them a listen!
I’ve never laughed so much in one podcast episode in my entire life! These ladies are saucy cheeky, and oh so deliciously, naughty. Just how I like my romances!!
