Let's talk about: A Court of Frost and Starlight AND A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas 03.02.2026

We're covering books 4 and 5 of the ACOTAR series. Aka: the blue on and the orange one! We get a holiday novella and we move our focus from Feyre and Rhysand to Nesta and Cassian. And like everyone else we try our hand at predicting when we will get book 6!

Let's Talk About: A Court of Mist and Fury (the ending) AND A Court of Wings and Ruin 27.01.2026

First we gotta finish talking about "A Court of Mist and Fury" then we dive into "A Court of Wings and Ruin". We cover a lot in this episode! It's Rhysand and Feyre, their epic love story. This is the fairy smut that has us hooked for life. Rhysand is our ultimate book boyfriend, but what is he? Morally grey? Shadow Daddy? A secret Cinnamon Bun? Or is he just Rhys...and no others compare...

Let's Talk About: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas 20.01.2026

Today we're talking about book 2 in the ACOTAR series: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas. (Also, affectionately referred to as the green one! ) A LOT happens in this book and we tried not to miss a thing, even if we get a little jumbled up in our recap...And we give you our pumpkin spice meter for book 1 and 2 in this episode!

Let's Talk About: ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas 15.01.2026

It's January 2026 and we're covering ACOTAR because it is the romantasy gateway drug for so many that is still flying off the shelves over 10 years after it was originally published. This Fae romance is what started the obsession for Cait and we're gonna take you through it one book at a time. It all begins with Feyre and Tamlin...

Let's Talk About: In Your Dreams by Sarah Adams 06.01.2026

Happy New Year! Did you catch up on your TBR over the break? We're back and starting 2026 with a hot off the press romance: In Your Dreams by Sarah Adams. We're back in Rome, Kentucky (for some of us it's our first visit) with Madison and James as they fall in love building a hot new restaurant on a farm. This is a delightful, light read to get you going in the New Year!

Let's Talk About: Christmas Fling by Lindsay Kelk 23.12.2025

Big news, we're so excited: we have an instant holiday classic discovery! Christmas Fling by Lindsay Kelk is so much fun, in a castle, in the Scottish Highlands, with a hot 6'4" Scot and our FMC is a neurosurgeon. You will be laughing out loud and devouring every minute. The audio book is excellent, the playlist is pure holiday joy and we loved it all!

Let's Talk About: Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid 18.12.2025

We interrupt our regularly scheduled holiday programming this December to talk about Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. There was no way we weren't hopping on this train and the book is deserving of ALL the hype and we are so excited to be talking about. Oh there's a show too...have you seen it? Shane and Ilya are hockey stars, rival players and they fall in love, but can they find a way to be open wi...

Let's Talk About: In A Holidaze by Christina Lauren 16.12.2025

It's time to talk about Court's all time favourite holiday romance re-read! In A Holidaze by Christina Lauren is a delightful holiday treat, this is the groundhog day trope done right. This book gives serious nostalgia and swoon worthy childhood crush feels. Spend the holidays with a crew reminiscent of "The Big Chill" (but way less drama) in a snowy cabin setting.

Let's Talk About: Holiday Ever After by Hannah Grace 09.12.2025

This book reads like a Christmas Hallmark movie, but with spice! We needed the spice in this one. Key take aways: Does anyone know the name of the girl in The Nutcracker? We're kind of on the mom's side when it comes to fancy holiday decorations. December has just started and already were drowning in our to do lists and TBRs!

Grab a cup of peppermint tea and cozy up by the tree it's holiday romance reading season.

Read Along: Brimstone by Callie Hart (the second half) 27.11.2025

We finished "Brimstone" by Callie Hart and now we're talking about all of it! Which of our theories came true and what surprised us. Also, we have more theories after that ending...Ugh, can't believe we have to hang on now until the third book comes out. Does anyone know how long we'll be waiting?

Let's Talk About: Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal by Meghan Quinn 25.11.2025

"Kevin! You're what the french call les incompetants." It's not Kevin in this book, it's Max (aka: Atlas) and this cinnamon bun MMC is quite the goofball, but he's 6'4" and hardly incompetent in bed...We're talking all about our first Holiday Romance of the season today: Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal by Meghan Quinn. Join us as we talk about this slapstick comedy romance book that riffs on one...

Read Along: Brimstone by Callie Hart 20.11.2025

It's finally here and we can't put the book down, but we promised each other we would. We paused our Brimstone reading marathon to check in and talk about it up until chapter 27! This book takes off like a chaos rocket and we're here for it. Join us, for part 1 of our read along, as we break down everything that's happened so far and what we think is coming next...

Let's Talk About: It's Different This Time with the author Joss Richard 18.11.2025

We have our first ever guest: author Joss Richard talking with us all about her debut bestseller It's Different This Time ! This second chance romance is pure NYC real estate porn that is better than scrolling zillow before bed. And it's a rom-com worthy of comparisons to Nora Ephron. Cozy up with us and Joss as we dive into talking all about our new favorite fall romance.

Let's Talk About: Bitten by Jordan Stephanie Gray 13.11.2025

Let's Talk About: Alchemised by SenLin Yu 28.10.2025

Alchemised by SenLin Yu is a major new release and we had to talk about it. It's a Dark Fantasy that is Romantasy adjacent. Definitely not a Romance novel. But it is a masterpiece and we are forever changed having read it. Major trigger warnings on this episode.

Let's talk about: Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter 16.10.2025

For us this book is an instant classic! It's YA and it's 1 pumpkin on the spice meter BUT it is soooo good. If you're a rom com girlie and you haven't read this yet--stop everything read it now and then listen in. This book really is better than the movies.
