Adriana stops by to talk about...well, everything! But mostly her fabulous romantic suspense Uncharted.  We talk about how she challenges herself as an author with impossible and difficult plot lines.  (A whole romance with the couple trapped in a mine in THE DARK!?)  The escapist pleasures of romantic suspense and a place and a book called Kink Camp.  Also, there's mulled wine and a delicious spiced simple syrup....

The author of A Promise of Fire calls in from France! She gave us the ins and outs of her writing process as well as publishing, book cover photo shoots, French translations, and audio books.

Snyder,  Capture the Crown by Jennifer Estep, and White Out by Adriana Anders.

This week, we're tackling Romantic Suspense and reading one of our favorite books of 2020, Adriana Anders's Whiteout! We talk about all the things romantic suspense has to nail (ha!) to knock it out of the park, why we would literally never be characters in a book set in Antarctica, and the wild feeling of reading a romantic suspense about a virus during a pandemic. Also Sarah talks about how much she loves Adriana Anders's writing and recommends lots of backlist. Next week, we're back with an interstitial, and in two weeks, we're reading Sarah's favorite Sherry Thomas book —Ravishing the Heiress. Find it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, or Kobo. Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful!Show NotesIt's tenterhooks, not tenderhooks. Apparently Jen needs more sleep, or else it's gonna be a real drag on future seasons of Fated Mates. Jen tweeted about Whiteout a lot, put it on our Best of 2020 list, and even made a meme about it last week. Reading a book about a virus during a pandemic is kind of wild! Jen and Sarah are not campers, but we support you. We do like reading books about people doing extremely cold outside things: Into Thin Air, Into the Wild, and a new book on Jen's TBR is The Next Everest by Jim Davidson.Let Sandra Brown explain romantic suspense to you, and maybe you'd like to read Jack Reacher if you're into that sort of thing.We learned some things about Antarctica and staying warm while reading this book: How cold did you say it was again?Why are frostbite and hypothermia so dangerous?How fast can you get hypothermia?What would really happen to a penis in super cold weather?What's the deal with the red puffy jacket?What was all that other gear Angel and Ford had?What are fat bombs?Do people really burn 6000 calories a day there?Can you really go 300 miles on foot?What is an ice core and why do scientists study them?Are ice tunnels real?Why is flying a plane in Antartica so dangerous?What about driving vehicles?Or swimming?There are mountain ranges in Antartica?What's the terrain like? Is that cravasee thing real?Can you really make a heater out of a tealight candle?Why are there seasons??What is Polar Night? Was it just a coincidence that you released this episode concurrently with the onset of Polar Night in Antartica?Outside of murdering people for their ice core samples, are people doing crimes in Antarctica?How accurate is the movie Arctic with Mads Mikkleson?How's Antartica doing in global climate change?Thanks to Amy, one of our listeners, we now know that Antarctica TikTok exists. The two ice stations in the book McMurdo and Vostok are real research stations, and actually there are way more of these stations than you'd think. Angel calls Ford the Iceman, but not that Iceman. If you want to read more about racism and greed in American pharmaceutical companies, you might be interested in Empire of Pain, Patrick Radden Keefe's new book about the Sackler family, about Pfizer and Moderna and the COVID vaccine, Henrietta Lacks, the Tuskegee experiments, medical colonialism, and the list goes on and on. Big Bad Wolf by Suleikha Snyder isn't a critique of big pharma, but it is a fierce critique of the American system of justice. Chekhov's Gun is an axiom by the playwright about how props on stage must come into the plot. You can still order the Fated Mates Best of 2020 pack from Old Town Books.

We're thrilled to be joined by the wonderful Priscilla Oliveras to talk about second chance romance and her new book (out next week!), Anchored Hearts. We talk about our favorite second chance romances and dig into the Venn diagram of second chance, marriage in trouble, secret baby, childhood sweethearts, and one night stands. We also talk about the hard truths of face transplants, the way characters in romance have to do their own emotional work, and how we love it when they remember every bit of a kiss from a decade before. Preorder the delightful Anchored Hearts at Amazon, B&N, Apple, Kobo or from your local indie.Next week, we're we're reading a romantic suspense—Whiteout by Adriana Anders. Find it at Amazon (free in KU!), Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, or from your local indie. You can also get it along with our other picks for best books of 2020 as part of the Fated Mates pack from Old Town Books in Alexandria, VA!Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful!Show NotesWelcome Priscilla Oliveras! Her next novel, Anchored Hearts comes out next Tuesday, April 27th. You can order signed copies (bookplates) with recipe cards from Love's Sweet Arrow. The first in the series, Island Affair, has the fake relationship trope. Key West things Priscilla mentioned: the half marathon in January, and the Cuban restaurant El Mason de Pepe.This Goodreads list of second chance romance has over a thousand titles! Operation Peter Pan moved over 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba to the US between 1960-1962.We think cliff diving might be a bad idea.In Wild Card and The Highwayman, the heroine doesn't recognize the hero, but the absolute pinnacle of this is the 1997 movie Face/Off with John Travolta and Nic Cage. You honestly have to see it to believe it. Theodosia is a name we all know from Hamilton. Aaron Burr married Theodosia Bartow Prevost, and it was an age gap romance! she was a decade older than he was. Their daughter Theodosia was their only child to survive to adulthood. Here is a very nice video of NWSL players sliding on their knees after scoring goals. That person you liked in high school? You're the one that got away, not the other way around. Next week, we'll be discussing Whiteout by Adriana Anders.

Rounding the corner on Season Three, and we're missing Kresley Cole! This week, we read a book neither of us have read before — Kresley's Captain of All Pleasures. A Victorian pirate book about a ship race. We talk about the magic of the debut romance, why pirates are often times icky, and why setting a book on a boat is risky business. Next week, we're back with an interstitial, and in two weeks, we're reading a romantic suspense—Whiteout by Adriana Anders. Find it at Amazon (free in KU!), Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, or from your local indie. Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful!Show NotesThe requisite coronavirus chat: Sarah was very sick in 2020 and Kate and Jen did a “sickbed scenes” interstitial without her. Jen said someone is going to make a jingle out of “Fauci Ouchie” and it already happened. Sarah's upcoming book is available for pre-order. The title is Bombshell and it comes out August 24, 2021. You can read this interview with Sarah when EW did the cover reveal. Check out Season one, which is all about Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series.Quite a few of Lisa Kleypas's earliest novels are out of print and not available as eBooks, but you can probably find them used on eBay or Amazon. Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake is Sarah's debut, you should read it. Borders was a bookstore that closed in 2011. Goodreads was invented in 2007 but took a few years to become popular, but once it was bought by Amazon, it completely stagnated. Sarah was probably talking about Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours of practice rule, but how many words would that actually be?The Stephanie Plum series is now on book number 27, and all Jen has to say is #TeamRanger forever. Don't @ her.Here's Kresley's FictionDB page for a complete list of her books in order. Ships vs. boats, if getting those names is important to you, I guess. The Amazing Race arc of IAD takes place over two books, No Rest for the Wicked and Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night. Again the Magic was actually published in 2004, a year after Captain of All Pleasures. The golden age of pirates was between 1650 and the 1730s, and of course our actual knowledge of pirates and piracy is limited. But most recently, of course, there are the Somali pirates. The race in Captain of All Pleasures was probably based on the Great Tea Race of 1866. The history of henna tattoos. A marchioness is a higher rank than an earl. Dr. Gunter has some information for you about the hymen. That's what she said. Hattie ties Whit to a mast in Brazen and the Beast, in case you want more of that. Next up, Whiteout by Adriana Anders.Music

Ellen and Mom are joined by listener Jess to discuss the freezing, fleeing, and frolicking in remote outposts in Whiteout by Adriana Anders.  Plus, we take some time to get to know Jess a little better!Come hang out with us! Twitter/Instagram: @notyourmomsromFacebook Group: Not Your Mom's Facebook GroupEmail: notyourmomsromancebookclub@gmail.comNot Your Mom's Romance Book Club is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.

A romantic suspense on our must read list! Here’s a YouTube video of a very enthusiastic dude showing you around the ice tunnels. Please do follow the rabbit trails of Antarctica. You’re going to want the extra visuals while reading this.

Who loves survival romances?! Kamrun and Gabi read WHITEOUT by Adriana Anders, a romantic suspense set in Antarctica and their views of snow and the wilderness are never the same. In this episode, they review the book, discuss its romantic suspense category(can it really stand as a romance?!), if they'll ever venture to Antarctica after reading it, and book recommendations they'd make for this popular survival trope.

It’s February and it’s winter and it’s grey and dark and we’re all just looking for some books that are quick, dirty and delicious. Or, at least, Sarah & Jen are. If you are, too, this is the week for you!We love having you with us! — subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform and like/review the podcast if you’re so inclined!Next week, we’re reading the Queen of Dirty Talk! Sarah and Jen both love Tessa Bailey — so we’ll be talking about our two favorites of her books, Asking for Trouble (Sarah’s) and Protecting What’s His (Jen’s). Find them at: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, or Kobo.Show Notes- Sarah had boozy brunch with the RITA Writer’s Room—Nisha Sharma, LaQuette, Adriana Herrera, Andie Christopher, Alexis Daria, and Joanna Shupe (Sierra Simone & Tracey Livesay weren't there). You should maybe check out this awesome video of them in all their slow motion glory.- Jen didn’t know what ASMR is either.- Valentine’s Day is Go Week for Sarah. Jen wrote about Galentine’s Day for Kirkus. But one thing we can all agree on: Anna Karenina isn’t a fucking romance. Getting hit by a train does not qualify!- The 2 for 1 rule: in a male/female romance, she comes twice for every time he comes.- If you’re in Chicago, you can see Fated Mates Live at Spring Fling, and at KissCon, it’ll be a podcast ménage special with us, the Wicked Wallflowers, and Heaving Bosoms podcast.- What will Craven Day 2021 bring? Stay tuned.- Sarah’s friend Rachel Hawkins told Sarah to read A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane, which is a pen name for Meljean Brook, author of The Iron Duke. Is there danger banging? Yes. Is there vengeance banging? Also yes.- Jen read and loved White Out by Adriana Anders, which is a romantic suspense novel that takes place in Antarctica. It’s cold, but they still manage to danger bang.- Speaking of Danger Banging, Jen’s favorite is in the first of the Kinky Bank Robbers series by Annika Martin. It's honestly more like heat-stroke banging.- Jen and Sarah don’t think a quick and dirty read has to be InstaLust, but it does have to get right to the inciting incident.- Sarah recommends London Hale (a pen name for authors Ellis Lee and Brighton Walsh) as a reliable quick and dirty read. Start with The DILF (if you're ok with taboo) or Talk Dirty To Me (if you'd prefer something a bit further left on the Simone Scale).- Adopt don’t shop when it comes to real pet stores.- Breastfeed if you can and if you want to, but if you can’t that’s fine, too. Even if you live in Fucking Berkeley. Or the Berkeley of Brooklyn.- Some other of our favorite quick and dirty reads that are mostly in space: Grace Goodwin’s Interstellar Brides and Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians. But if you’re reading the Ice Planet Barbarians,please listen to our friend Dani’s Ice Planet Pod. It’s great.- More space romances: Laurann Donner’s New Species series, or Cavas, the one that appeared recently on the USA Today Bestseller list (not the New York Times, Jen misspoke) is one from the Vorge Series. Cynthia Sax has a whole cyborg series. Jen also really liked The Grabbed series by Lolita Lopez.- What we're trying to say is that these books are the romance equivalent of The Fast and the Furious series--which is the pinnacle of Jen's favorite movie genre, "Handsome men blow things up." - Finally, check out Brill Harper’s alphamallow series. But Jen’s favorite was Altogether, which is very, very hot. Yum.

Part 2 of TSTL’s interview with author/columnist/podcaster Sarah MacLean. Sarah and Becky review the virgin billionaire romance, Loving the Secret Billionaire by Adriana Anders ($2.99). It’s a novella where things get a little ACTIVE, if you know what we mean… like politically. And sexily. But you probably guessed that.

Amanda and Jenn discuss Australian historical fiction, psychopaths, comedic murder mysteries, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Riot Insiders, Penguin Random House Audio, and So Done by Paula Chase.   Feedback Just some feedback for Ben’s daughter from episode 155! As someone not *too* far removed from the voracious-child-reader stage can I suggest: Dragonskin Slippers (Jessica Day George), Inkheart (Cornelia Funke), The Ranger’s Apprentice (John Flanagan), the Stravaganza series (Mary Hoffman) and Eragon (Christopher Paolini). Hope some of those are useful, and thank you so much for the podcast - every episode just brightens my week x --Hannah   Questions   1. First of all, when I found your show it was like a dream come true. I love to read! Second only to my love of reading, is my love of discovering new books and putting them on my to read shelf. I keep telling my husband that I wish I had y’all’s job. Speaking of my husband, I am recently married and we are getting ready to go on our honeymoon in December. We are heading to Australia! My husband and I have no intention of just laying on the beach and relaxing all honeymoon. That’s not our style. Instead we plan to do plenty of historical tours. My favorite tours are when I already have a little background on the history of a place. I was hoping you guys could recommend some historical fiction novels set in Australia, especially dating back to its early colonial days and possibly some about its Aboriginal population. I do not like nonfiction or pages and pages of descriptions. I can’t wait to hear your recommendations!! Thank you! --Amelia   2. Hello Ladies! Thanks for answering my previous questions (all those Besses are this Bess) and laughing at my jokes! Very validating! I'm writing to ask for reading recommendations to read over my honeymoon! We're going to an all inclusive resort and I can't wait to just lie around and read :) I'm specifically asking for books that are that tender, heartrending romance where you just want them to be together! Examples include Song of Achilles, Room with a View, Golden Compass Series (Will x Lyra forever). I already own Possession, haven't read it yet -- Way down with pining and angst, I am not really looking for a romance novel, but a literary story where two characters' love is just oh so burny and tender! Thanks in advance, --Bess - bride to be   3. Hi, so like you I loved Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho and I am waiting on tenterhooks for the next book in the series. I’m looking for something to filled the Sorcerer to the Crown shaped hole in my heart. I really like both the Regency, the politics, the slow romance and the magic elements of the book. The Regency period is such an interesting time in British history - right on the edge of the modern, but not quite there yet. I don't need the book to have magic, but it is always a plus. I have already read: Arabella of Mars by David D. Levine Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal Sorcery & Cecelia: or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer and loved all of them. --Sidsel   4. I am looking for recommendations for my 11 year old daughter. She would love to read YA, but I think I would like to hold off from the love relationships and more adult themes for a little bit longer. Last year she read "Some Kind of Happiness" by Claire Legrand and said it was written for her. I'm looking for books that are perhaps more mature, but somewhere in between middle grade and YA. Thanks! --Lauren   5. Hi Amanda and Jenn, I am listening to Deadly Manners, a dark comedy murder-mystery podcast series I am in love with! It's an old-school style story with modern sensibilities. The plot: there's a dinner party and guests are getting picked off one by one, and Levar Burton narrates. Need I say more? I just finished the next to last episode and am already dreading the void in my life when it's over. Can you recommend some books to fill it? Thanks! --Alexis   6. I know Halloween just passed but I heard Shelly Laurenston's booklist from Smart Bitches, Trashy Books podcast, one of the things she mentions is psychopaths and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for this. I don't want mystery or thrillers, more like a mind dive into spotting them, try to understand why they do it or facts. Since the holiday are coming up I would like some recommendations as soon as possible please. --Ash   7. Hi Jenn and Amanda, I would love to get some recommendations for romance novels that deal with sexual trauma or sexual dysfunction (or that just acknowledge the fact that sex isn't always easy and fun). I'm not fussy about the type of romance (just no paranormal). I realize this may be difficult because romance is supposed to be escapist but I am desperate to see my experience represented. Thanks so much for your help! --Joss   Books Discussed The Monster Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson (tw: homophobia, assault) Becoming by Michelle Obama obviously The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough That Deadman Dance by Kim Scott The Mothers by Brit Bennett My Education by Susan Choi Heartstone by Elle Katharine White Gail Carriger Witchmark by CL Polk Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor The Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste Death at Wentwater Court by Carola Dunn An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten, transl.

This week Jess Pryde joins Jenn for a special romance episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Engineering for Cats by Mac Delaney and our $500 YA Giveaway.   Questions   1. Hi Amanda and Jenn, Love the show! I've read so many great books based on your recommendations. I love to read romance novels, usually the steamier the better. But the thing I enjoy most about them is the sexual tension and building intimacy. I like to see that a couple actually cares for each other and it’s not just a one night stand. To give you an idea, some books that I've really enjoyed are Hold Me by Courtney Milan; Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai; Sarah J. Maas' Court of Thorns and Roses series; A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev; and The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. I know there's a ton more out there but would love to get your suggestions on some great ones. I'm open to pretty much anything. Thanks! --Becca   2. Hi ladies! I'm looking for a novel that contains a great love story. A lot of romances written today (both contemporary and historical) turn me off because it seems like the couple has an immediate attraction that results in inevitable sex scenes while complications still exist, and then the rest of the book is the main characters finding out how to have an actual relationship in addition to the sex, despite whatever plot devices are in their way. I think Jane Austen spoiled me. Call me old fashioned, but I want a couple that fall in love without having sex first! I especially like stories where the guy has been in love with the girl for a long time but doesn't think he has a chance for some reason. Think Molesley and Baxter from Downton Abbey (which I am STILL salty about not being resolved) or Professor Bhaer and Jo from Little Women. It doesn't have to be an old book and it doesn't have to be strictly romance; I'm perfectly willing to read any book as long as it makes me ACHE over several hundred pages for the prospective lovers to finally communicate their feelings! Thank you so much! P.S. I forgot to mention that I read A Distant Heart recently, and that's more in the realm of what I'm looking for since the sex came very late after the two had already had years of build up, but I'd still prefer a book where the profession of love comes before the sex! --Brannan   3. Dear Jenn and Amanda, I'm a huge fan of your show and Book Riot in general. I'm really looking forward to Book Riot Live! Thanks for being so amazing! I'm proudly a plus-sized/curvy (for lack of a better term) woman in her late twenties, and I was wondering if you had recommendations for books with female main characters who are also described this way. Growing up I really identified with Meg Murray because she felt out of place with her appearance like I did. Recently, I have loved reading Dumplin', Size 12 is Not Fat, Duff, and Bet Me because they featured characters I could relate to physically who were described positively and had a happy ending that didn't involve them losing a lot of weight. (I most recently read It Had To Be You, and didn't love it.) I loved the body positive message of each book, and I'm a sucker for a makeover sequence, but I have always hated reading books where the fat/chubby girl found happiness after losing a few pounds. I plan on reading Shrill and 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, but I was wondering if you had any recommendations for fiction or romance books with more characters I could relate to that have enjoyable story lines. I have read too many non-fiction books and graphic novels, so I would prefer not to get books in those categories. I also have learned that I don't do well with reading books with unlikeable characters, for example, I struggled with Girl On the Train and Gone Girl. I'm sorry for this incredibly long email, but I would really appreciate any help that you could give me! Thank you so much! Sincerely, --M   4. Hi Amanda and Jenn! My TBR is getting ridiculous because of this podcast, but I still love it! I'm currently in grad school reading some very dry material about metadata, and I need something exciting to get me through this dull semester. Lately, I've been in the mood for some romance. Something non traditional like The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. I love the slow and sexy build of the couple's relationship and how for the majority of the series they didn't trust each other, and fought all the time. However, they always had each other's back. I love how you never knew if they were going to kill or kiss each other. I haven't been able to find anything like this. I read all genres, so I'll take any recommendations you've got! Thanks! --Ana   5. Until listening to different book riot podcasts and reading this site I was prejudiced against romance novels. When I was in middle school and starting to explore adult literature, I was also curious about sex and found some romance books to read. My thirteen year old self however just picked whatever free ebook I could find so my parents wouldn't know what I was reading. Consequently I read some pretty bad novels, and have since considered romance "lesser literature" (yes yes I'm a bad person- but I'm trying to rectify the situation!). Also as I've gotten older I've found I find it harder and harder for a writer to convince me a romance is real, and I also enjoy a healthy dose of plot unrelated to romance. I fall on the snooty side of reading classics and literary fiction, but I want to expand my horizons. I love historical fiction so if you know of any good romance set it in the past that is a plus. But really I just want to know what you think are some good romance reads for beginners that will get me interested in the genre. Thanks! P.S. My favorite kinds of romance are the forbidden kind, and the love/hate thing (i.e. Han and Leia, or Starbuck and Apollo from Battlestar Galactica). Yes I'm a cliche. --Connie   6. Hello---I thought I was done with Romance (novels, not in real life, of course), but then I listened to your Podcast all about romance, decided to try a few you recommended and guess what? I am in love with Romance novels again! But--there are so many to choose from and I've been away from the genre for so long, I am hoping you can recommend some new ones for me. I am open to pretty much anything, but if you know of something kind of "Southern" and a bit more "intense" than some, that would be great. I'm also not adverse to same sex love stories --I read "Think of England" from your rec and loved it. Also Loved "Every Good Earl Deserves a Lover" and Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Series. Loved them, just looking for a little bit more intense (sex and story). Can you help me? Thanks so much. --Debbie in Nevada   7. After years of reading exclusively literary fiction or non-fiction, I stumbled upon the Romance genre and am finding it very interesting and, often, a lot of fun. I'd love to share this experience...perhaps even with my (adventurous) book club. Any recommendations for a book within the romance genre that would make a good book club pick? (Bonus if there is a reading guide available!) --BD   Books Discussed The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory After the Wedding by Courtney Milan A Girl Like Her by Talia Hibbert (tw: intimate partner violence) Under Her Skin by Adriana Anders (tw: flashbacks to domestic abuse) Dear Aaron by Mariana Zapata A Summer for Scandal by Lydia San Andres If the Dress Fits by Carla de Guzman The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan Soulless by Gail Carriger Dating You / Hating You by Christina Lauren The Soldier’s Scoundrel by Cat Sebastian An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole Chasing Moonlight by Raven St. Pierre Looking For Trouble by Victoria Dahl The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev How the Duke Was Won by Lenora Bell
