  • Y'all we have an excellent interview and conversation for you today on the podcast with author B.K. Borison. Her new book, Business Casual, book 4 of the Lovelight Farms series, is out now (!) and is a lovely, cozy, sweet contemporary romance.

    We chatted about her journey from writing book number 1 of the series as an indie author, to completing the series as a traditional author with Berkeley.

    B.K. was open with us about how bittersweet the end of this series is for her, how quickly her life as a writer changed over the last three years, and being excited for future books she's finished writing that have yet to be published.

    B.K. shared the vulnerability of sharing her first novel with her husband, friends, and the world. How funny it is when her friends and family "discover" that she is an actual published author with books on the shelf at Target, Barnes and Noble, and indie bookstores. Her hilarious battle with the Target bookseller at her local Target when she's trying to sign the books.

    Bridget rants yet again about how annoying it is that genres that bring joy don't win as many awards.

    B.K. shares what she can about her future series, and whether she'd ever revisit the Lovelight Farms world, hint, it's cracked open and there are breadcrumbs to find!

  • Bridget's favorite book in season 3! You guys this book is everything we wanted a summer quickie to be! Fun, sexy, charming, complex yet quick to read, and with hot, hot sex scenes.

    Shani took the week off (no audiobook on this one), so we had a wonderful guest host, Ann! Ann is Bridget’s older sister and was the first person to give her a romance novel. Since then they have read aloud dozens of novels on cross-country road trips and loved to squeal over the feels and the sex scenes alike. Enjoy their hilarious sisterly banter and ability to finish each other’s sentences as we talk about this excellent book!

  • HOT DAMN!!!! We thought the Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang was going to be a fun, romantic jaunt, but in reality, it is a sexy, sexy thrill ride.

    Hear us as we wax poetic about our this pairing and the mixture of absolute dynamite sex scenes, with sweet sweet romance.

    Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice — with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan — from foreplay to more-than-missionary position...

  • Enjoy our interview with Pepper Winters. This was one of our first international interviews, and she was a delight.

    Dark romance author Pepper Winters is here today to talk about us about tiny horses!! And also writing romance novels with lots of taboo.

    Pepper is the author of Goddess Isles and Dollar Series and Tears of Tess, which we covered earlier this season, and in this episode, she breaks down taboos and shares with us her creative writing process. She gives useful advice for authors on how to stick to their creative process, diving deep into the common dilemma of being forced to say "yes" to contracts you're not comfortable with.

    You may have seen Pepper's horses and rabbits on Instagram and if not you need to treat yourself!

    Full transcript on the website here.

  • Scarlett Peckham interview was a delight if you missed it!

    If you already listened to our review of The Duke I Tempted, the first book in this series, you may already be guessing that we are loving this author and series. Shani loves nothing more than some historical romance and some excellently written nitty gritty and Bridget was here for the quippy dialogue, strong heroine, unrequited love on both sides, and of course, the nookie.

    Listen as we laugh over some of the best moments in the book and talk about some of our ideas around BDSM and kink in real life, and in novels.

  • Dear gentle listeners it's been a while, but we are back in Julia Quinn's Bridgerton world. We decided before season 3 of the Netflix Bridgerton show aired, we would read Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Well, color us surprised to realize this was NOT our favorite Bridgerton book!

    Bridget went on about 20 rants during this episode and we posited some thoughts about what we thought would happen in S3 of the Netflix series!

    You can listen to our review of Book 1 here.

    We had the delightful pleasure of interviewing Julia Quinn a few years ago and you can hear that interview here.

    And of COURSE how she writes such HEAT and heart.

  • The Bridgerton review continues! Anthony can still get it.

    We’re back with part 2 of our Bridgerton review and we are raring to go. We talk about the upcoming Bridgerton prequel, Penelope’s future, “My Lord” vs. “Daddy”, predictions for future seasons, THE MOM SCENE, and the questionable editing choices. There’s also much to get into with the, maybe too slow, slow burn? Though we may or may not giggle when it comes to Lord Bridgerton. He could get it regardless. Don’t even get us started on what he COULD have been doing in that bathtub scene.

    Shani was so excited to introduce Bridget to more historicals and the lovely land of the lauded Bridgerton family!

  • This interview took place in September before the date and trailer were dropped for S1 of Bridgerton on Netflix. It was released in October, 2 months before the fervor began. Enjoy! We certainly did, and a big shout out to Julia for sending us signed copies of her books :) What a delight.

    Shani was losing her ever-loving mind before this interview because Julia Quinn is one of her favorite authors of all time, we reviewed The Duke and I on the podcast, and she gave a great interview!

    This interview was so wonderful, and Julia was so generous with her time we had too much for the episode! Plus we got to talk all about Bridgertons on Netflix and Shondaland! You can find a lot of additional listening on Patreon!

  • We are so excited to have our first-ever repeat interview with the delightful, Evie Dunmore! Not only is she such a smokeshow (sorry Evie it had to be said!), but her debut novel, Bringing Down the Duke, was one of our favorite books so far on the podcast. And it felt so poetic to have her back for the 4th and final book in the series, The Gentleman's Gambit.

    If you missed our first Evie interview, check it out here!

    Some major highlights:

    The bittersweet feeling of finishing the seriesThe difference between writing the first book for the love of it, versus writing the final book with the commercial process involvedHow writing this love story wasn't as planned out as much as the first three storiesWriting in her non-dominant language and how that leads to her structuring her sentences differently. Evie shares what draws her to historical romance vs contemporary romanceWhy Catriona's happy ending with Elias was so important to her

    If you wanna catch more Evie you can head to her website, or chat with her on Insta!

    Grab a copy of the series here

  • We are so excited to have Melissa Saavedra on our podcast! She is a Latina entrepreneur and ex-US Navy veteran. She is the founder of Steamy Lit, a romance book subscription service which includes three novels, a series of self-care items, and a vibrator in each box.

    We spoke to Melissa about the origin of The Steamy Lit Box.

    Melissa shares how destigmatizing sexuality, orgasms, sensuality, and sex toys is part of Steamy Lit’s mission. And how romance novels can help you explore “what can make your bean tickle.” You can check out more of Melissa’s recommendations on her Instagram @bookrecsbymel

    And for our listeners, you can get 15% off at checkout at The Steamy Lit Box using code RomanceataGlance :)

    Aside from promoting sexual wellness, Melissa is also passionate about showcasing authors whose identity has been historically underrepresented, such as female authors of color, and authors from the LGBTQ+ community.

    To promote more of those authors' books, Melissa founded Steamy Lit Con, a convention seeking to celebrate the romance genre and amplify historically underrepresented identities. The Rom Con aims to be a space to facilitate professional and personal connections and to build thriving communities for authors and readers alike.

    Melissa shares some of the things that went great at their inaugural convention, as well as some rocky moments. Including a HORRIBLE story of the swag bag merchandise getting damaged on the truck from Florida to California!

    If you want to learn more about Steamy Lit Con you can sign up for the Newsletter about next year’s Steamy Lit Con on August 2-3, 2024 in Anaheim, California, and you can follow them on Instagram @steamylitcon.

    There's a chance you may see Bridget and Shani there!
