It's emotional support clown season, and we're celebrating by reading THIEF OF SHADOWS by Elizabeth Hoyt, the fourth in her iconic Maiden Lane series (no need to read the others before diving into this one!). We follow Winter Makepeace, emotionally (and sexually) repressed orphan master by day, vigilante eighteenth century clown by night, and Lady Isabel Beckinhall, the experienced, suave, Chuck Bass to his Blair Waldorf. These two have BJ-induced existential crises, solve crimes, and win the love of dozens of orphans on their journey to falling in love--and we absolutely devoured every word of it. Enjoy the show!

Hey comrades! To kick off spooky season, we're asking the question everyone (okay, some people) is wondering: is horromance a real thing?? We talk what makes up the horror, gothic, and romance genres and how they can (and can't) be combined while still letting genre mean something. We also absolutely stuff your TBR with recs that'll scratchy that spooky AND sexy itch this Halloween season. Enjoy the show!

Has romance become the fanfic genre? Do we like Reylo? How do we feel about Dramione? Where is the probing Mulder/Scully fic of our dreams?? We dig into all the most controversial lore of fanfic and fandom, unpack its relationship with the romance genre, and give you plenty of recs for the iconic fanfics republished as original fiction that we love, including some you may not know about. Enjoy the show!

Comrades! Today, we're travelling to Italy on Noah's Ark with IT HAD TO BE HIM by Adib Khorram, a delicious, missed connection, M/M romance. Ramin's a hot gay guy trying to get that good good Italian peen, but he ends up running into his high school American best friend Noah who's a fake carpenter considering a move to the Italian countryside with his child/plot device and hot ex-wife who we write live fanfiction about. Enjoy the show!

We're travelling to the 80s in this week's episode with THE WINDFLOWER by Laura London, an old school bodice ripper if there ever was one, complete with pirates, kidnapping, and emotionally repressed men. This book follows Merry (not Mary), the most patriotic woman who ever lived, and Devon, a pirate/secret duke/sex god as they sail around on their pirate ship, helping Captain Morgan (yes, that's his real name) loot other ships and take care of orphans. It's such a delight!! Come for the pirates, stay for the found family and if you're so inclined, write us some Cat and Rand Morgan fanfic. Enjoy the show!

We feel God in this Chili's! This episode, we dive into PRIEST by Sierra Simone, *the* priest romance of our time. We follow Tyler and Poppy through their taboo yet strangely sweet journey. We get a little (a lot) deep about theology, including the holiness of cunnilingus. And we obsess over MMC POVs where they become losers over their love interests. Enjoy the show!
