We started this podcast as a big middle finger to the stigma associated with reading and loving romance novels. We love to fangirl about our favorite books, authors, and characters and are challenging people to think of romance novels as more than just "mommy porn" - though there's nothing wrong with a copious amount of sexy times. Bring that *ish on!This one goes out to all the fangirls! Life's better with a little HEA. Links:Apple PodcastGoogle PodcastClosed Facebook GroupTwitterInstagramPatreon

Awesome podcast

All the book feels are so relatable. I love the reviews and girl talk!!
