We got an ARC of Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage and we’re SO excited to talk to you about it. This series has us in a chokehold. Lost and Lassoed is book three in the Rebel Blue Ranch series–we finally get to see Teddy and Gus’s chemistry come to a head (giggle). Gus needs childcare assistance while Cam is out of town for the summer and Teddy is in need of a job. Can these two ever stop sniping at each other long enough to work together? In preparation for this episode, we also read Swift and Saddled, so we’ll be discussing that a bit, as well. Also discussed: Hear Me Out Cakes, Veronica’s upcoming anthology, and more spooky szn.

In honor of spooky szn, we’re reading monster romance! This week’s feature is a new-to-us author with a minotaur and fae couple. She’s a journalist trying to land her dream job and he’s the captain of the sportsball team (literally, that’s the name of the sport). Because of the requirements of her probationary period with the newspaper, Cass is forced to spend a lot of time with Elliot. And when he goes into heat….well, things heat up between them. Also discussed: spooky season, the Twilight eye shadow palette from ColorPop, and a disgusting amount of mayonnaise.

Time is a flat circle and we’re reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The last time either of us read the Twilight series, it was 2008 and we read it at the very beginning of our friendship. We were both different people and the world was a different place. What do we think of Edward and Bella today versus 16 years ago? Are we Team Edward or Jacob? (Or someone else…?) We’ll talk about the book, as well as its cultural impact (we know WE KNOW) in our 100th episode. Also discussed: our friend’s birthday party, our disbelief over where this podcast has taken us, and Veronica’s upcoming anthology. Special thanks to Dani McLean, S.L. Prater, and friend of the show Lee for sending us well-wishes, which you’ll hear throughout the episode.

S.O.S. subject: Pushin’ Cushion by Vera Valentine

This week we’re immersing ourselves back into The Bachelor-esque world Kay Marie has curated for The Love Lie! Loyal listeners might remember the first installment in this series, The Love Rematch from Episode 73. In this followup, we see the aftermath of Emily’s decision to swap places with her identical twin Samantha. As we learned in the epilogue of The Love Rematch, the twin swap didn’t exactly go according to plan…so what happened? Kay Marie fills us in–and sets us up for book three–in The Love Lie. Also discussed: Lexington Legendary Book Bash, the scourge of living in Ohio, and spooooooooky szn.

This week we’re clinging to the Olympics by reading The Kraken Games by Lilith Stone! Luna is the first human to have ever entered the Kraken Games in Motham City. Kai is this year’s chosen kraken, who will have to fight every single entrant in order to win–and he must win if he’d like to bring honor back to his people. Last year’s kraken lost to an orc, and Kai has been told that losing is not an option. The only thing is…Luna and Kai met before the Games. And they had a *real* good time together, which is a problem because Luna hates kraken and kraken generally hate humans. Also discussed: Veronica’s upcoming book signing, Star Wars, and why the word “squishy” is only allowed in Finding Nemo.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming, we read Muffin Top by Avery Flynn! BBW heroine Lucy is debating going home to her 15th high school reunion when her best friend’s soon-to-be brother-in-law plops down in the chair opposite her and offers to be her date. Frankie is on a self-imposed celibacy streak and is looking forward to the distraction. What could possibly go wrong? They definitely won’t fall in love with all that fake dating and forced proximity. Also discussed: The Olympics (!!!!!), Veronica’s upcoming book signings and special editions (pre-order form here!), and inexplicably, Jurassic Park.

Slight change of plans! We got an ARC of Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto, so we pulled an audible and read that one instead. Given our background in music, this one was catnip for us. Xander and Gwen play in the same pops orchestra–although they don’t really play “together.” In fact, he doesn’t even know she’s in the orchestra until she tells him at an outside gig. When Gwen lands the promotion Xander has wanted for years, they’re forced to work together. Can they make beautiful music together or will Xander’s surly attitude keep them apart? Also discussed: Corn Daddy, the orchestra world, and the predatory practices of the music industry. (We’re so much fun.)

For her part, Amelia agrees to talk to him… and then to maybe up the ante. When life throws some curveballs at Amelia, can Ben step in to help her out? Listen to find out!

We’re diving head first into some monster romance and no one here has a single refret. Today, we’re talking about Wed to the Basilisk by Layla Fae AND you get to hear from Layla herself! Wed to the Basilisk is part of the Arranged Monster Mates series, in which humans and monsters are matched using DNA at a temple. Voss, the last surviving basilisk, is extremely skeptical that his human bride, Alina, will actually be a true mate, but this is his last chance before he descends into madness. Alina, on the other hand, is desperate to escape the clutches of a possessive d-bag who unalived her fiance. Will their match save both of their lives? Or are their differences too vast? Extra special thanks to Layla Fae for joining us. Also discussed: how Layla Fae deserves a partnership with Bad Dragon, Veronica’s new book release (massive thank you to Voice of Hel - find her on TikTok and Instagram), our new dirty sentient storytime segment.

We’re jumping back to Victorian England to discuss The Love Remedy by Elizabeth Everett! But the best part? We’re actually TALKING to Elizabeth! Apothecary Lucy Peterson is on the brink of financial ruin. A rival apothecary stole the formula for a throat lozenge and is passing it off as his own invention and she believes he stole another formula that has gone missing. So she hires Jonathan Thorne under the guise of being her store’s bookkeeper in order to find the culprit. But in the meantime, these two are quite drawn to each other. Also discussed: how the bar for men is STILL on the floor, reproductive care dating back to the 1800s, and Veronica’s upcoming book release.

Hello, hello, loves! We got an ARC of the latest work from S.L. Prater—Coven of Ill Repute. This series opener introduces our main characters, Quiet (a witch) and Rorick (a vampire). They’re investigators charged with solving a murder, which just happens to be one of Quiet’s sister witches and Rorick’s cousin. What neither of them realizes is that the house is literally haunted and it has no plans to let them leave. Not alive anyway. Is it different from her other series? Yes. Is it steamy? Also yes. Is it her best work yet? Absolutely, hands down. Also discussed: why vampires are hot and we won’t be taking questions, the Blabbering Book Babes, and upcoming Bridgerton things!

The ladies are getting in on the single dad action (...what?) with Dust Storm by Maggie Gates. Christian Griffin, widower with two adorable daughters, took over operations from his father, but business doesn’t always go as planned, and they’ve hit a rough patch. City slicker Cassandra Parker is in hot water at work, so she’s being exiled to the sprawling Texas ranch to develop a long-term plan for the business. These two butt heads immediately, even though they’re both attracted to each other from jump street. Also discussed: Mr. Veronica’s opinion in Toys for Twats (more on Patreon!), why dress codes are intrinsically sexist, and the finer points of Topo Chico.

Hiya, wee lads and lasses! We landed an ARC of Alexandra Kiley’s debut novel Kilt Trip, which means you get to listen to Rae’s Scottish accent. When Addie Macrae’s wanderlust leads her to her homeland—specifically, Edinburgh—to consult with a family-run travel company, she’s thrown face-first into ghosts from her past. And the person leading that charge? Logan… the heir to the travel company. Who she accidentally already met when she was doing recon, which doesn’t exactly lead to the best start of their working relationship. Can they get past their rivalry in order to save the company? Also discussed: books we have no intention of reading, our awful weeks, and how gorgeous Scotland is.

Our second pick for Black History Month is Never Tell by Stacey Abrams (writing as Selena Montgomery). Never Tell is a romantic suspense initially published in 2004, but republished in 2023 by St. Martin’s Griffin.

Can Erin and Gabriel figure out who’s killing people in Erin’s orbit before they get to Erin? Also discussed: the return of Jon Stewart, wearing heels while chasing dinosaurs, and how we’ve forgotten how to do our own show.

Welcome to a BONUS episode of CLBC! We landed an ARC of Lauren Morrill’s new book More Than a Feeling and we couldn’t not tell you about it. Due to technical difficulties, this episode is releasing a week after the release of the book, but we’re incredibly honored to have had the opportunity to interview Lauren and hear all about her plans for the Cardinal Springs series. More Than a Feeling introduces us to the McBride family, where we follow Grace as she devises a plan to save the town’s library from state funding cuts. Decker, her oldest brother’s best friend, is back in their small hometown to lay low for the summer—but he doesn’t even make it through one night before he’s decking someone in a bar. As his punishment, law enforcement gives him community service… with Grace. Can Grace navigate her ire for Decker? Or will his charm win her over? Also discussed: sportsball, Lauren and Veronica’s Swiftie designations, and the actual song, More Than a Feeling by Boston.

Emmy Ryder is coming home to Meadowlark, Wyoming after an injury… that her family doesn’t actually know about. She’s helping out around the family ranch and winds up spending more time with her brother’s best friend, Luke Brooks. Emmy thinks Luke is an irresponsible playboy. But is he? Emmy’s going to find out. Is the book overhyped? Absolutely not—totally worth the hype. Is it hot as they say? Absolutely yes—also totally worth the hype.

Merry Effing Christmas dear listeners! As our gift to you, we’re releasing our holiday episode one week early (aren’t you lucky?). This week, we’re talking about Snowed In by Catherine Walsh. In order to get through the holidays with a buffer, childhood school mates Christian and Megan agree to forge a fake relationship—Megan because she hasn’t been home since she pulled a runner on her wedding day, and Christian because he’s the last single person in his family. It’s a mutually beneficial situation with no complications. Right? Everything will be fine. Also discussed: our Christmas presents to each other, Bridgerton season 3, and our ability (or inability) to keep plants alive.

Folx, it’s a rough review this week. We wanted to cover something that people are in denial about. We settled upon Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. We’ve read amazing novels from this author, however, this was not one of them. If you wanted to hear us lose our minds for an hour, this is the episode for you. Also discussed: the wonders of Reddit, how the 90s held different standards of human behavior, and what a swinging dildo actually does.

The ladies are both getting ill again, and not in the fun 90’s r&b kind. This week it’s another ARC for us with ⁠The Plot Twist⁠ by Erin La Rosa. Sophie is a blocked romance writer who’s never been in love and Dash is a recovering alcoholic and child start trying to find their path. Along the way they gravitate toward each other and struggle to find if what they’re experiencing is the big ‘L’ word. Also discussed: Novella November, being proud of Ohio (for once), and our magic spells for yo’ dick.

This book was her pick, so if you hate it, blame her. (Kidding.) When ghosthunter Juno gets an exclusive invitation to live in the most haunted house in America, she can’t refuse. And when she finds out monsters live under her bed… and in her closet… and in her bathtub… she isn’t exactly upset about it. Also discussed: voice actors, horror film marathons, and other spooky things.

It’s spooky season, bishes! We’re doing two spook-ish books this year and the first one is ⁠Bad Luck Charm⁠ by Julie Johnson. When an animal sacrifice is left outside her beloved aunt’s shop in Salem, Massachusetts, Gwendolyn Goode is expectedly shocked. To add insult to injury, her childhood crush—a man she now hates—has been brought in to consult in the ensuing investigation. Can Graham Graves protect her against her will? Or will dark forces get to Gwen first?

The final ARC before a mini-break is ⁠The Love Rematch⁠ by Kay Marie! If your mom went on national television and begged America to find you a boyfriend, would you agree to be on the Bachelor-style show that calls a couple of days later? Well, Emily reluctantly agrees—not to find a husband, but to promote her homemade jewelry line. The only snag in her plan is that one of the field producers is none other than the man who epically ghosted her seven years ago. It’s fine—she can dress for revenge. What could possibly go wrong? Also discussed: 90s nostalgia, including fashion that no one wants back and the beginnings of reality television.

On this episode we discuss the new release from Lauren Morrill, Sister of the Bride, a friends to lovers, Father of the Bride-inspired romcom. This was an ARC from NetGalley and releases September 12th. When 26-year-old workaholic restaurateur, Pippin, discovers that her twin sister is getting married to a practical stranger and her beloved home/business is going to be put on the market, she struggles to make sense of what life is in store for her. With the help of her newly relocated best friend Toby (who she does NOT have sexy feelings for, thank you very much), she has five months to pull off a wedding, sell her business, and keep herself from not spiraling. Seems easy… Also discussed, how long is TOO long, we skip the f— right over bright spots, and pimp our most recent commentary on Freevee’s Puppy Love.

We delve into the wonderful world of Jane Austen reenactments with Robyn Gynne’s, The Worst Darcy. Set in a small tourist town named Austen, the local inhabitants spend one month a year celebrating all things Jane A. This year, being the pinnacle of pieces, Pride and Prejudice, newly relocated town librarian and “Keaton’s mom,” Vivian, feels that this is her opportunity to make a name for herself in the community by playing Lizzy. Metalhead and all around town ‘bad boy,’ Brodie Bishop, is strong-armed into being her Darcy. When opposites attract, will these two deny the chemistry off stage, or will Vivian prove to be truly an “obstinate, headstrong girl” and choose to take a chance? Also discussed: Red, White, and Royal Blue, the corn song (how did Rae not know about it?), and an amazing Jane Austen festival in Bath.

We also discussed her latest release, Kiss the Rake Hello (Wicked Widows League #13) which is an older heroine, enemies to lovers, sorta second chance in which the hero gets a chance with the girl he’s been in love with all his life. Also, our new segment gets a tantalizing new name, Rae crows about her new Pride Converse shoes, find @darquepath on TikTok, the Books that Made Us, and we’re trying to get healthy!
