It's emotional support clown season, and we're celebrating by reading THIEF OF SHADOWS by Elizabeth Hoyt, the fourth in her iconic Maiden Lane series (no need to read the others before diving into this one!). We follow Winter Makepeace, emotionally (and sexually) repressed orphan master by day, vigilante eighteenth century clown by night, and Lady Isabel Beckinhall, the experienced, suave, Chuck Bass to his Blair Waldorf. These two have BJ-induced existential crises, solve crimes, and win the love of dozens of orphans on their journey to falling in love--and we absolutely devoured every word of it. Enjoy the show!

Comrades! Today, we're travelling to Italy on Noah's Ark with IT HAD TO BE HIM by Adib Khorram, a delicious, missed connection, M/M romance. Ramin's a hot gay guy trying to get that good good Italian peen, but he ends up running into his high school American best friend Noah who's a fake carpenter considering a move to the Italian countryside with his child/plot device and hot ex-wife who we write live fanfiction about.

We're travelling to the 80s in this week's episode with THE WINDFLOWER by Laura London, an old school bodice ripper if there ever was one, complete with pirates, kidnapping, and emotionally repressed men. This book follows Merry (not Mary), the most patriotic woman who ever lived, and Devon, a pirate/secret duke/sex god as they sail around on their pirate ship, helping Captain Morgan (yes, that's his real name) loot other ships and take care of orphans. It's such a delight!! Come for the pirates, stay for the found family and if you're so inclined, write us some Cat and Rand Morgan fanfic. Enjoy the show!

We feel God in this Chili's! This episode, we dive into PRIEST by Sierra Simone, *the* priest romance of our time. We follow Tyler and Poppy through their taboo yet strangely sweet journey. We get a little (a lot) deep about theology, including the holiness of cunnilingus. And we obsess over MMC POVs where they become losers over their love interests.

Comrades! We're diving into the piping hot waters of romance community tea with today's topic: Book Boyfriends! The cishet white men popping up in online romance spaces with shady at best intentions. We talk parasociality, the capitalism of it all, centering men, and how BookTok and Bookstagram have become ground zero of a change we're seeing in the separation between real and online life.
