Let's Talk About: Dolly All the Time with author Annabel Monaghan

We got to chat with author Annabel Monaghan about her latest summer romance story "Dolly All the Time". A romance book with a female protagonist closer to 40 than 22? Yes, please! What a breath of fresh air. This one hit home hard, probably because Dolly's struggles were very relatable as a fully adult woman. Annabel was so wonderful to talk to and she shared great insights about writing. Cait had some tech difficulties on her end for this recording but we made it through. We can all relate to Dolly...all the time!

Let's Talk About: Rules for the Summer with author Meghan Quinn

We got to chat with Meghan Quinn about her latest summer read and it was a blast! This book is laugh out loud funny! It is Meghan Quinn at her unhinged best. Renley gets drunk on margaritas with her wild Aunt Kitty (who rides hobby horses--look it up) and accidentally orders a fiance not a financier. Theo is said fiance who as part of the British aristocracy has enough money to also be a financier. It is set in the Northeast in summer and there is super hot pond sex. You want a smutty romance laugh--this is your book.

Let's Talk About: Blood Bound by Ellis Hunter with the author duo!

We are very excited we got to talk with the author duo Ellis Hunter about their debut romantasy Blood Bound.This book takes the mate trope to a new level, that is long overdue. Dual POV of Skylar and Astrid as they navigate having to battle one another to the death in order to secure magical rites for their respective peoples. Astrid is a witch from the Witch Queendom and Skylar is a vagabond from the Dragon Rider kingdom. Excellent unseen plot twists and a very sexy slow-burn. This book gets a 2.5 on the pumpkin spice meter. (We heard from the authors that book two is gonna ramp up the spice level!)
