Y'all it's time for another round-up of all things romance in this month's RAAG on Romance. Bridget talks about the books that she's been reading (thank you to all publishers for the copies!), Shani and Bridget talk about what TV they have been binging, and generally laugh and play their way through the episode. Special Thank You to Anna Lowe for sponsoring today's episode. Anna Lowe is the author of Tempting the Sheriff, a steamy, suspenseful paranormal romance featuring a female, fox shifter as Robin Hood and a dragon/knight as the new sheriff of Nottingham. The Sherwood Forest Shifters series combines the action-packed romance of Outlander with the humor of The Princess Bride for a fresh new twist on a classic, with brave knights, cunning bandits, fire-breathing dragons, and forbidden lovers.Shows and Books we talk about in this month's RAAG on RomanceGen V on Amazon Prime - Highly recommend, but trigger warning - LOTS of violence, gratuitous and frankly weird sex, and trauma of ALL kinds throughout. Business Proposal - Korean Drama - The main character pretends to be someone else and ends up with a billionaire, who she works for! Shani rewatched it and still loves itMy Fault or Mia Culpa - Spanish romance movie, based on a Wattpad turned trilogy.  Bridget watched a liked it! Had a new step-siblings fall-in-love taboo element. Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros - The hype is worth it. This series is so good. Disclaimer - it is not finished. At least one more book coming next year. I burned right through books 1 and 2. If You'll Have Me by Eunnie -a sapphic graphic novel - legitimately cried a little at the end with how sweet and heartwarming it is. Fans of Heartstopper jump on this.The Ladies Rewrite the Rules by Suzanne Allain - author of Mr. Malcolm's List. - list of eligible rich women widows etc turn the tables and use it for their benefit.  Comes out January 9th, 2024Fire in the Flesh by Jennifer L Armentrout – if you missed our interview, make sure you check it out! Plus, we didn't even talk about her series Blood and Ash being optioned by Amazon Studios.  I burned right through it.******Join our book club on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance  we meet 1x per month to chat books, finances, movies, and catch up!  Come hang out with us!******Affiliates!

New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Armentrout is on the podcast to talk about her latest YA Fantasy The Fire in the Flesh! This is book 3 in the Flesh and Fire Series. And you may not know, based on how wildly popular this and her Blood and Ash series have been in the last few years, but she started as a Romance author! Jennifer has written AND published an astonishing 70 novels in 13 years! We talked all about how her ADHD hyper-focus was a helper in writing for a long time until it "turned on her" and she had to figure out how to manage it.Her process for creating and discovering the world-building of her fantasy creations, and how her editors have bibles to make sure that everything in the world-building fits together and makes sense.-How Jennifer Armentrout builds a badass heroine that is still relatable with their personality and mental health struggles. Jennifer uses her own psychology background to show how depression and anxiety are not the sum of who her characters are.Why certain books are classified as YA Fantasy vs Adult Fantasy vs New Adult FantasyHow the romance fantasy  genre has evolved over the years with Bridget dropping some of her favorite fantasy authors Anne McCaffrey, Tamora Pierce, Mercedes LackeyBridget asked Jennifer how she builds that tension, push-and-pull, and excitement between the two characters. Jennifer talks about how she loves to read that tension, and how she always wants to feel like she wants readers to just say, "Just kiss already!'Jennifer shared how if the banter isn't flowing while she's writing, then it shows that something else probably isn't flowing in the story.We chatted through Jennifer Armentrout's favorite shows to watch in the background while writing including Buffy, Supernatural, Angel, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, and Dead Files.How she was watching Autopsy: Life and Death during a video interview! She and Shani bonded over their love of that show.What is Jennifer Armentrout reading? She shares how she heads to historical romance to keep the books she is reading from influencing her writing.And also, how reading a book in a similar genre to hers can make her feel like a bad author when she reads an excellent book.Her example of an excellent unicorn author is Hurricane Wars by Thea GuanzonApollyCon conventionJennifer Armentrout  talked about how and why she started ApollyCon, how it is run now, and why she is sad a lot of other conventions haven't come back after COVID-19.How the convention has gone from a day of signings to 3 full days of events, to now almost 4 full days of events!She talks about how even though the events are sold out, the hotels charge so much that she isn't actually making any money from it, but how it is worth it to bring authors and readers together. And give authors a chance to be around each other. Connect with Jennifer on InstagramGrab  a copy of her latest YA Fantasy The Fire in the Flesh******Join our book club on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance  we meet 1x per month to chat books, finances, movies, and catch up!  Come hang out with us!******Affiliates!

We had an awesome guest host this week for a special episode! Danielle Bezalel is the host of the Sex Ed with DB podcast, an queer and Biopoc centered sex education podcast that is as entertaining as it is informative. We read Happenstance, a reverse harem, why choose, romance from Tessa Bailey. To be honest, we didn't talk about the book all that much! Danielle was a romance virgin and we ended up talking all about romance, sex in books, sex in media, learning through media, why she choose to focus on sexual education and health after living in Israel for a year, and so much more. This is one of my favorite conversations, and I was so happy to have Danielle on the podcast. You can grab a copy of Happenstance here. It is a rom-com why choose, low on the angst, high on the heat, and of course, lots of dirty talking Tessa Bailey style. Check out Sex with DB Podcast here.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Taleen Voskuni about her debut novel Sorry, Bro. This story is deeply set in Taleen's own Armenian American community and features a bisexual MC who just wishes not every conversation revolved around her marrying, let alone marrying a man. Taleen's writing journey started at a young age writing commercial stories with princesses and fairytales. As an adult, she wrote two novels that she decided not to query while writing countless short stories and published essays. Sorry, Bro was the first time that she ever felt she could write about being Armenian and that helped set the story and bring the richness to life. She was part of the Author Mentor Match program which helped her refine the book and her editing process. Taleen's mentor was Jesse Q. Sutanto the author of Dial A For Aunties. Learn more about Author Mentor Match. Make sure you check out Taleen's excellent queer rom-com Sorry, Bro! ***Check out our latest and greatest beautiful bookish merch for this holiday season! Beautiful Journal designed by Shani: https://amzn.to/3FJpgpq Chibi coloring book!

We read the why choose reverse harem paranormal monster romance A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon! And we have to tell you, while it was spicy, we felt it left some monsters on the table! IE _ IF THERE IS A DUDE WITH HORNS YOU MUST FCK THE DUDE WITH HORNS DUHBut we digress. We had a ton of fun watching this reverse harem monster romance. The MC is a lusty human in Victorian-ish times and a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde type seduces her and tells her of a place where she might be a perfect fit. Which is essentially a high-class monster brothel. Color us intrigued. Then she proceeds to find and bond with all the monsters she sleeps with including a vampire, stone ghoul, sphinx from ancient Egypt, the Dr. with 2 personalities, and a cursed human. Enter the multiple and sexy times. They definitely were steamy and creative in some cases. Read The Lady of Rooksgrave for yourself here. The series is on KU so if you don't have it yet, click below to get a free 30-day trial.

It was such a pleasure to chat with Mimi Matthews, author of The Belle of Belgrave Square, on our podcast! Our chat ranged through a bit of everything including writing with a physical injury that causes Mimi to choose where to output her time wisely (ie into writing more books for us!), why she chooses to write in Historical Romance, all about her MC of Belgrave Square and how crazy the practice of bloodletting sounds from a modern context, as well as her publishing journey with Berkely and balancing indie and traditional publishing! Make sure you check out her latest books, I read both and they were some of my favorite books I read this year, and definitely my favorite historicals of the year. The Belle of Belgrave Square: https://amzn.to/3UKVoNG The Siren of Sussex: https://amzn.to/3FVnIJb ***Check out our latest and greatest beautiful bookish merch for this holiday season! New Journal designed by Shani: https://amzn.to/3FJpgpq Chibi coloring book!

We're doing Halloween in December because I (Bridget), did not have my editing shit together!! But we're back!! And what a fun episode to be back for. We COMPLETELY disagreed on I Think Knot by Sinclair Kelly! And we both had absolutely no idea what we were in for with this Omegaverse book! Like, literally didn't know that it was a reverse harem of a wolf pack situation (insert picture of me face-palming here). Please give us a shout with some other omegaverse books for us to try, because clearly this one wasn't the business for Shani! If you are like Bridget and like a light book with some feels, you can check I Think Knot here. I Think Knot synopsis: I may be an omega, but I've got dreams and goals of my own, and none of them include shacking up with a pack of raging alphas just because biology says I have to. Sure, that time will come and I'll welcome it with open arms, but for now, I'm doing me.I've managed to make a name for myself on the PackChat App, unintentionally starting a movement that has earned me millions of followers, along with plenty of enemies. Namely, a rival group known as RideAnAlpha. They drive me crazy with their constant lewd and rude comments, and, admittedly, their thirst traps showing off their hot bodies and abs for days. What? I'm in self-isolation, not dead, after all. They're the bane of my existence, but I'm a pro at being oblivious.As my birthday looms, my bestie convinces me to attend a major influencer conference where my rivals and I are keynote speakers. I'm determined to prove the real Bexley Carter is not the evil omega they portray me as. I'll get in, get out, and stay just long enough to figuratively give them the finger...or maybe literally, time will tell. No thoughts of claiming or bonds or heats since, you know, they hate me and all. I should be safe, right?***Get 30 days free on Kindle Unlimited just for our listeners! Or listen on Audible like Shani and get up to two free ebooks when you try Audible Premium Plus. ***Leave us a rating and review on ItunesA lot of additional listening on Patreon!Welcome to Romance at a Glance, a podcast that uses romance novels to dive into candid conversations about life, relationship dynamics, and sexual desires. As hosts Bridget and Shani review books and interview some of romance's biggest authors, they explore the breadth of the genre, openly embracing the sex, diverse couplings, and taboos to create a safe space for listeners to be exposed to different lifestyles, fantasies, and to pique their naughty curiosity.Expect 100% honest reviews, spontaneous singing, life lessons, indecent anecdotes, and bawdy humor.Check out www.romanceataglance.comChat with us on Instagram at instagram.com/romanceataglanceSupport us on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance

We had author E.F. Dodd on the podcast and chatted about how second-chance romance makes it difficult to do a meet-cute. How the cast of characters and female friendships is important to the characters and to the creation of the romance and you rooting for the romance. Writing a contemporary second chance romance, where the main female character maintains her career and falls in love, doesn't require them to give it up, or move home to a small town for a 'simpler life. Also, I feel that we are now best friends ;)Check out her books!Risky Restoration (Book #1 in the standalone series)Earning It by E.F.

Damon does it to get a connection for his career, but it confused when the straight guy is kissing him. Shani and Bridget had a very polarizing reaction to this book, due in large part to Shani's deep deep dislike of the audio narration. Check out Fake Out here on  Amazon. BUT DON'T LISTEN TO THE AUDIOBOOK :) ***Get 30 days free on Kindle Unlimited just for our listeners! Or listen on Audible like Shani and get up to two free ebooks when you try Audible Premium Plus. ***Leave us a rating and review on ItunesA lot of additional listening on Patreon!Welcome to Romance at a Glance, a podcast that uses romance novels to dive into candid conversations about life, relationship dynamics, and sexual desires. As hosts Bridget and Shani review books and interview some of romance's biggest authors, they explore the breadth of the genre, openly embracing the sex, diverse couplings, and taboo to create a safe space for listeners to be exposed to different lifestyles, fantasies, and to pique their naughty curiosity.Expect 100% honest reviews, spontaneous singing, life lessons, indecent anecdotes, and bawdy humor.Check out www.romanceataglance.comChat with us on Instagram at instagram.com/romanceataglanceSupport us on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance
