It's book club time! This month, we're diving into Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese—a swoony, opposites-attract romance inspired by Much Ado About Nothing. Fake dating? Revenge plot? Emotional depth? We have thoughts. In this episode, Jen and I break down our overall impressions, what worked for us, and some standout quotes that stuck with us. We also share our book pairings for this one, including Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert and Sonali Dev's Austen retellings—because if you loved Two Wrongs Make a Right, we've got more recommendations to keep that reading streak going.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Because you are super hot!Yes, this is a very corny way to start this post, but this week's episode features the pod's first romance novel, and it was recorded on a very HOT summer day. This weekI am talking about Always Only You by Chloe Liese with Sara Mueller. Sara is a library assistant manager and has been working in libraries for 11 years. An avid reader since she could learn to put words together, Sara loves sharing her passion for books with anyone who will listen. She is a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic who enjoys romance novels - the steamier the better - as well as thrillers, mysteries, and literary works. Sara is a plant mom with an ever growing brood of plant babies and often spends her free time at her favorite garden-center finding new plants to adopt. She dreams of one day owning an alpaca farm and having a personal library with its own rolling shelf ladder. We paired the novel with Sangria, which you can really make so many ways, but here is my recipe for a pitcher to share with friends:Sangria1 bottle red wine1 cup orange juice1/4 cup brandy1 Apple, chopped1 Peach, choppedI recommend letting it blend in the fridge for a few hours before serving so the fruit soaks up the liquid.In this episodeStorygraphOwn Voices BooksChloe Liese' WebsiteBooks by Helen HoangBooks by Olivia DadeThe Flatshare by Beth O'LearyTowards the end of the episode Sara and I discuss books that use Autism in characters as a plot device.

It also offers lots of food for thought, even all these years after it hit shelves. On Episode 223, you'll hear general conversations about The Midwife's Apprentice, along with more specific ones about fables, misogyny, names, resilience, and the way we read hero's journeys.Chloe Liese writes inclusive romances that affirm her belief that everyone deserves a love story, the most recent of which is Two Wrongs Make a Right.

The next sizzling and swoonie rom-com from the author of the TikTok-hit A Brush with Love. ............................... Chaotic, messy and madly in love. Lizzie Blake has made endless mistakes. Kitchen fires, pyramid schemes, you name it, she's done it . . . and made a mess of it too. One mistake she never makes? Risking anything more serious than a one-off hook-up. But after losing yet another bakery job due to her uncontrolled ADHD, she breaks her cardinal rule and has a two-night stand. Once burned, twice shy, Rake has given up on relationships. And feelings. And any form of intimacy for that matter. Two nights with charming, chaotic Lizzie might have him lowering his guard, but then he's heading back to Australia, far away from the surprising feelings that she seems to inspire. But when Lizzie realises she's pregnant, Rake knows he'll do anything to be in his child's life, but emotional vulnerability is off the table. Except everyone makes mistakes, and Lizzie and Rake might have just stumbled upon the best mistake of their lives. ............................... Raves for A Brush with Love! 'Laugh-out-loud funny, filled with joy, as deliciously swoony as it is downright steamy' CHLOE LIESE 'Blends sweetness, breathless romance, and moments of striking vulnerability' HELEN HOANG 'Prepare to smile, laugh, and cry your way through this witty, fast-paced rom-com starring a passionate heroine and a delicious cinnamon roll hero who knows how to love her just right' EVIE DUNMORE 'Mazey Eddings stole my heart with this laugh-out-loud funny, almost unbearably cute debut (and she made me care about dentistry)' ROSIE DANAN 'A contemporary romance masterpiece . . . The most intoxicating slow burn I've read in ages' RACHEL LYNN SOLOMON 'Harper and Dan have my whole heart . . . A Brush with Love is funny and cute while also exploring serious topics, powerfully underscoring the truth that relationships require work, and that happy endings are for everyone' SARAH HOGLE 'Tenderly written and oh-so-sexy, A Brush with Love brims with emotional depth, whip-smart banter, and sizzling chemistry' CHLOE LIESE

The sweet, sexy romantic cinnamon roll: there's no better hero in all of Romancelandia. Let's explore this gooey hearted, tender fictional confection and why this character brings all the feels.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comThe Onion article that inspired the whole thing.Movies/TV ShowsAshton Kutcher was a sweet doofus in That 70s Show and he grew up to be the hot cinnamon roll of No Strings Attached.The opposites-attract romance of Long Shot only works because of the sweet, relatable cinnamon roll that is Seth Rogen.You only have to see a few scenes from Ted Lasso to get the quirky, gooey, warmhearted charm of this series.Bill Hader is the best cinnamon roll ever in Trainwreck.Hugh Grant and his group of kind-hearted friends in Notting Hill qualify as one huge cinnamon roll.The 40 Year Old Virgin has the usual Judd Apatow bro excesses, but cinematic cinnamon rolls Steve Carell, Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd keep things mostly tender and sweet.Luke Wilson loving and helping Sarah Jessica Parker fly her freak flag in The Family Stone epitomizes the cinnamon roll hero.BooksRen Bergman is the sweet, soft hero of Always Only You, the second book in the Own Voices Bergman Brothers romance series by Chloe Liese. Every single Bergman brother is a cinnamon roll, and this entire series is so diversity-and-disability-positive it just warms the heart. The heroes in Kate Clayborn's books Love Lettering and Love at First are tender-hearted, introverted, intellectual geeks, and I don't think there's a better combination. Featured in the Intimate Worlds episode. Marie Lipscomb writes body-positive romances. and the plus-sized hero and heroine in Amped, her third and latest book in the Vixens Rock series, are kind, caring and absolutely irresistible.The cinnamon roll hero of The Sweetest Fix is a baker who can bake cinnamon rolls and other treats at his NYC bakery, making this story a cinnamon roll meta-experience. He's also a big, burly, sexy dirty talker, as only the best Tessa Bailey heroes can be.

Romances about people at the height of their physical prowess in pro sports finding love with a partner who matches their wit and talents is a bit unfair to us mere mortals. But I'll live vicariously through these stories all day long.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comEileen Brennan and Goldie Hawn are comic gold in Private Benjamin. The incredible haka from Rugby World Cup 2011.That serving contest in Wimbledon. The plot is charming and the performances and chemistry of Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany make it worthwhile.The book roundups by Book Riot and Goodreads are full of sport romances of all types.Hockey romances I read from Man Down, part of the irresistible Rookie Rebels hockey series by Kate Meader.  Her Chicago Rebels hockey series is also fantastic.I also read from Always Only You, Book 2 in the Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Liese. This story is my favorite, and this romance series is easily one of my favorites ever. Heated Rivalry is a M/M romance about top-tier NHL players—a cheerful Canadian and a grumpy Russian— who fall for each other and are secret on-off lovers for years until they realize their relationship is worth the risk. Loved this one.Unadulterated Something is a F/F romance about women's hockey rivals who hate each other--until they both retire from the game and get jobs coaching at an elite girls school in Massachusetts. Sweet and warm-hearted.Rugby romancesMelt for You by JT Geissinger is a slow burn featuring a Scottish rugby player on hiatus, and the bespectacled bantering editor across the hall in New York he falls for. Hot and hysterically funny.  Love Hard is about a widowed rugby player for New Zealand's All Blacks team who falls for his late wife's sassy, curvy best friend from school.The Hooker and the Hermit is a steamy fake relationship story about a hot-headed Irish rugby player and an introverted gossip blogger.

Found family, partners, true-blue friends: it's all about the groups of people who claim us, warm our hearts, and have our backs no matter what, who help us feel that we belong.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comRemember the TV show Queer as Folk? It originated in the UK, and there was a US version too. Its group of friends fits this trope so well. My high school crush/date came out to me on prom night so I felt a bit like Daphne in this clip: happy and proud for him, but a bit disappointed, too. The TV show Friends is all about this trope, too, of course. My BFF loves motorcycle club romances, which embody this trope as well. All the Tropes on band of brothers is great, and tvtropes.org also explores a band of brothers trope off-shoot called True Companions.Four Weddings and a Funeral is still charming and touching, with one of the best “we belong together” found-family examples in any rom-com.Bromance Book Club is the first book in the Bromance Book Club series by Lyssa Kay Adams. Its band of brothers is romance gold—needless to say, Netflix snapped up the rights so the story will be coming to a tiny screen near you sometime soon. Daniel is a steady, wise and affectionate presence in the Loveless Brothers series by Roxie Noir, and his story, Best Fake Fiancé is one of my favorites, along with Levi’s and Eli's stories.Jo Beverley’s Malloren series is one of my top favorite romance series ever. Devilish, the oldest Malloren brother Lord Rothgar's story, is one romance I can happily read over and over.Tessa Dare’s Spindle Cove series centers on an English village in the Regency era with blue stockings and shy, spirited women who don't quite fit in as its residents, along with the group of aristocratic men who love them. They're full of wit and whimsy, the perfect place to start reading historical romance.The Beautiful series by writing duo Christina Lauren is quite a ride: spicy hot and kinky (unlike their more recent books) with "naughty" tropes that ratchet up the fantasy.I plan to explore this fantastic series in an upcoming episode, but for now, let me say that Chloe Liese's Bergman brothers series has this trope in spades and it's another, new top favorite romance series.
