Hi Smooches! We’ve been truant, and we’re sorry, OK?! Life is just like really really hard. But we have so many books to talk about, including my new MMF short story, And They Were Roommates, and all the very informative and depressing books Meg is reading in her therapy studies. Meg kept getting kicked out of the Zoom meeting, and I kept in every time it happened because it was pretty funny. But that only goes on for the first maybe 10 minutes of the episode so don’t worry about it from an audio perspective, it’s not the whole episode. We’ve got lots and lots of news, including our plans for the summer, so let’s get into it!

That book is out today when this episode drops, so you can go get it right now! And over on Fable, we're going to read Never Cross a Highlander by Lisa Rayne, so you can read along with us ahead of that recap.

Hi Smooches! On this episode, we’re chatting with boundary coach Kami Orange, author of the new book Say the Thing: Boundary-Setting Scripts and Phrases to Communicate Directly and Speak Up with Kindness. Meg and I have both separately followed Kami’s work and when we reached out to her for an interview were delighted to find out she’s a romance reader! So we talked a lot about how reading romance is fantastic for exploring boundary setting. We hope you have fun listening to this conversation, because we had a lot of fun having it.

Happy New Year, Smooches! Today, we’re talking All Things Austen with author Melodie Edwards, who has written a beautiful contemporary reimagining of Persuasion. It’s got Stars Hollow vibes with its setting of Niagara-on-the-Lake and riotous cast of characters, a hyper-competent Anne, and a swoon worthy Wentworth. You can preorder the book, which comes out in February, and you will absolutely want to after listening to this episode.

Hi Smooches! On today’s episode, which we recorded way back in September, we talked with author Annie Rains about her wonderful book Through the Snow Globe. It’s women’s fiction (because the hero is in a coma for most of it) described as It’s a Wonderful Life meets Groundhog Day. So we discussed our top three most rewatchable holiday movies. Enjoy!

Hi Smooches! This year’s holiday gift guide isn’t going to be business as usual. We’re discussing ways to spend less money and consume more ethically this holiday season if you choose to give gifts. We talk about how even if there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, it’s our responsibility to do as little harm as possible in a society that makes doing no harm impossible. Along with ideas for where and how to shop, we recommend books we loved this year for people on your list. And it doesn’t cost a dime to speak up for the people of Palestine.

Hi Smooches! Today we’re doing something a little different. In honor of NaNoWriMo, I’m going to read the first chapter of my work in progress. This is from my draft of In On the Action, which is Book 2 in the Seducing Steel City series. If I were better at marketing or planning, I’d have preorder links for you, maybe a Goodreads page where you could add the title, but I’m just kind of winging this. I’m also winging narration, as I have no training in this. So enjoy this subject-to-change exclusive first listen of In On The Action by Elle Diaz, a sapphic age gap romance with tons of pining, baked goods, and getting hot and sweaty with your crush in more ways than one.

Hi Smooches! We couldn’t close out spooky season without some monsterfucking. So we brought our senior cryptid correspondent Molly on to recap “I’m In Love With Mothman” by Paige Lavoie. What happens when a burnt out lifestyle influencer moves to the middle of nowhere to live out her cottagecore fantasy, then ends up having to nurse a sexy bug/bird person back to health? What happens is Molly gets a lawyer for possible life rights claims. Also, we have a fun quiz you can take at home. You plan a date with Mothman, and I’ll give you a book rec. Spoilers ahead.

Hi Smooches! On this episode, I am risking it all by going Gaylor on main more than I ever have. I tell Meg, not for the first time but for the first time in this much detail, all about the maybe love affair between Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss. Weâll discuss timelines, lyrical clues, and recent events. If youâre a skeptic, this episode is for you. I ask that if you listen, you do so with an open mind and with every assumption of positive intent. Letâs get into it.

Hi Smooches! This is Liz, and youâre listening to Make Out Already. On todayâs episode, weâre recapping âFunny Guyâ by Emma Barry. It is a delicious slow burn contemporary about a famous comedian hiding out at his lifelong best friendâs apartment after his pop star ex writes an unflattering song about him. What he doesnât know is his bestie has been in love with him for years, and has recently been scheming how to get away from New York and her unrequited love. Friends to lovers can be a tricky trope, but Barry handles it beautifully. Spoilers ahead.
Exciting news on the author front. My book âHow That Makes You Feelâ by Elle Diaz is now available everywhere! You can get it from Bookshop.org and support your local indie, you can get it from the Barnes & Noble website, on your Nook, on your Kobo. Links will be included in the show notes.

Hi Smooches! This episode we were thrilled to welcome back Shantel to the podcast! Chantel won the bidding for the second year in a row to be a guest on this pod in the Romance for Reproductive Justice Auction. It's a damn shame that we need such an auction, but we're grateful to Meet Cute Romance Bookshop for creating the fundraising opportunity, which raised in the neighborhood of $15,000. Shantel came to us with a great idea for this episode, which was to hash out what exactly makes a character swoonworthy, and just how those swoons feel. "Sometimes swoon defies explanation." Stay tuned!
