Melody Carlisle and Sabrina Bradley love romance and they do it out loud! Every Monday, these long-distance best friends recap romance novels from a comedic, intersectional feminist, sex-positive perspective. If you're itching for a BFF book club or just love raucous slumber party vibes, this is the show for you! Whether you've read the book or not, all are welcome! Giggling, tangents, and sincere joy abound.

The Heaving Bosoms: A Romance Novel Podcast is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. As a recommendation from a romance-loving friend, I decided to give it a try and I have never looked back. Hosted by Melody and Erin, this podcast brings so much joy and laughter to my Mondays. It has become my reward at the start of each week, providing the perfect pick-me-up during these challenging times of the pandemic.
One of the best aspects of The Heaving Bosoms podcast is the incredible chemistry between Melody and Erin. Their banter is dangerously funny, leaving me in fits of giggles throughout each episode. It feels like being at a party with two friends who rant and rave about romance novels, and all you can do is laugh along with them. Their humor and infectious energy make every episode an absolute delight to listen to.
Another great aspect of this podcast is how thoughtfully they discuss different elements of romance novels. They provide detailed, objective coverage and opinions on the books they read, allowing listeners to gain valuable insights into various themes and tropes. What sets them apart is their awareness of social issues within the genre, which adds a refreshing layer to their discussions.
However, one potential downside to The Heaving Bosoms podcast could be that it may not appeal to those who are not fans of romance novels. While Melody and Erin's charm and wit might draw in new listeners, some may find it difficult to connect with the content if they don't have an interest in the genre.
In conclusion, The Heaving Bosoms: A Romance Novel Podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone who enjoys romance books or wants a good laugh. Melody and Erin bring their wonderful selves into every episode, making it feel like you're part of their conversation. Their hilarious yet thoughtful breakdowns of different romance novels create a warm and inclusive atmosphere that keeps listeners coming back for more. I cannot recommend this podcast enough.

Hey HBs! It's time for part 2! When we left you yesterday, our bloodthirsty baddies had just had sex for the first time while Nolan was super high on magic mushrooms that Harper slipped him. She told him to fuck her like he hates her and boy did he deliver. Now, he's crossed the emotional Rubicon and is ready to worship at her feet. Meanwhile, she coyote-uglied her way out of there as fast as possible and doesn't quite know what to do with herself. That's where we're jumping in! TW: depictions of caring for an elder loved one with dementia/Alzheimer's. Oh and, like, brutal murder, drowning, dismemberment, and more. Look, man, it's a Brynn Weaver book. Bonus Content: he's her Lancelot now and she's not getting the memo, tempting fate with an Amelia Earhart theme, preserving your crush in their greatest form, and so much more! Lady Loves: Sabrina: Real life connections. They'll be there for you every time. Mel: get your government documents in order! If you can, get an official copy of your birth certificate, get or update your passport, and CALL YOUR SENATOR and tell them to vote NO on this bullshit "Save America" act that's being pushed right now. The congressional switchboard is (202) 224-3121. This bill gets rid of mail-in voting, it requires people to register to vote IN PERSON, and they will have to provide "proof" of citizenship in which all names need to match up. So, a married woman who changed her name will not be able to register to vote if she doesn't also have official documents that verify that change (marriage certificate, divorce decree, name change declaration, etc.). This boils down to an effort to stop women and impoverished people from voting. And it's a sneaky poll tax because all these documents cost money. Want to support the show?

Hey HBs! We're back! And we're back with some stabby energy because what could be better in this moment? We've got a Brynn Weaver spinoff that made all our dreams come true, and made Mel's gardening heart very jealous: TOURIST SEASON. It's book one in her new trilogy The Seasons of Carnage. She's a transplant taking over the mantle of "protecting" her new small town, one wood-chipped tourist at a time. He's a tourist who's determined to turn the tables on her and enact his revenge for the accident that killed his brother and ruined his life. But there's a magnetism neither of them can explain!

Hey HBs! It's time for part 2 of Semi-Charmed by Isabel Jordan. When we left off Harper had just taken Riddick to be surreptitiously examined by her super empath mom and.... he didn't get attacked with cutlery, so he's got that sweet, sweet approval! Now they're at a bar and while he confirmed that he's attracted to her, he absolutely doesn't want to talk about it. That's where we're jumping in! Bonus Content: Riddick FINALLY talks and all the panties dropped. Lady Loves: Sabrina's now got single serve lube packets thanks to HB Mary! Trolling is her love language, too. Mel: watching Nailed It! with my kids. Oh my gosh what a hilarious delight, and quite the conversation starter! Episode Sponsor: THE SPITE DATE by Pippa Grant! It's an enemies-to-lovers, celebrity single dad and woman with a grudge, romcom that knocked our socks off! The hijinks and shenanigans are fantabulous! Check out Pippa's website for more info and her back catalog. Curious about the ridiculous faces we make? Subscribe and watch us on YOUTUBE! This Friday on Patreon and our Apple Podcasts sub, Mel's giving Sabrina a rundown of the newest set of fluffy MM Contemporaries I'm reading featuring AJ Truman, MA Wardell, and a few selections by Saxon James.

Hey HBs! Today Sabrina and Mel are wrapping themselves in nostalgia blankets and recapping Semi-Charmed by Isabel Jordan. We're in a universe in which vamps have gone public and now our two MCs aren't allowed to hunt them anymore! She's a psychic, he's a slayer, and getting jobs that aren't "hunt vampires" has proven to be a bumpy road. If she can convince him to team up with her, maybe sparks will fly! Bonus Content: kid's ideas of bad words, why is dropping from a huge height and landing like a cat so sexy?, Sabrina thinks we can do this fast... hah!, Bloodthirsty Mel is back, Lil' Miss Broken Meter, and more!
