Podcasts about fake dating

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most fun and flirty tropes in romance—Fake Relationships! Specifically, we're talking about the delicious tension and chemistry that comes with Fake Dating and Fake Engagements.

This funny romcom has us cracking up over chapstick zippers and a swoon-worthy MMC in this fake dating forced proximity delight.

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur, a sapphic rom-com that blends fake dating, opposites attract, and holiday charm into a heartfelt love story.Elle Jones, a free-spirited astrologer, has built her career around helping others find love, but her own romantic life is a mess. When she's set up on a blind date with Darcy Lowell—a buttoned-up, no-nonsense actuary—it's clear they are complete opposites. The date is a disaster, but Darcy, desperate to get her well-meaning brother off her back, convinces Elle to fake a relationship through the holidays. In exchange, Elle agrees, hoping to prove to Darcy that love isn't just about logic—it's about chemistry, fate, and maybe even a little bit of magic. Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡ https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

It's spooky season y'all! I thought i'd start off the month with a super cute witch/demon rom-com. So cute, a very fun plot, and character growth that makes you root for our main female Mariel- she is such a sweet witch and Oz (MMC) encourages her to be proud of her magic and of herself. The tension between them is palpable and I was living for it! Definitely recommend!

In today's episode, Kaycee crawls out of her Covid hell cave to talk with Ashley about the absolutely delightful To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han and another favorite trope Fake Dating. The ladies love Lara Jean's sweet, poetic love letters, have a total hate on for Josh (Peter Kavinsky all the way!), and discuss the evolution of YA Romance. Plus, Kaycee shares a bit about the most embarrassing letter she ever wrote to a boy in high school (while dying a little bit on the inside) and they learn what a cravat is.

Episode Summary: We had waaayyy too much fun with this one! Join debut author, Sarah Hawley, and I as we discuss her debut release, A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon. She also gives us an inside look at the rest of the series... can you say, "I accidentally summoned a succubus from a stone I bought on Ebay?" Other topics include incorporating current issues and political messaging into paranormal/fantasy romance, lusting after men in black leather gloves, and the emotional rollercoaster of publishing your first book. Enjoy!Guest: Sarah Hawley, author of A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a DemonBook Summary:Mariel Spark knows not to trust a demon, especially one that wants her soul, but what's a witch to do when he won't leave her side—and she kind of doesn't want him to?Mariel Spark is prophesied to be the most powerful witch seen in centuries of the famed Spark family, but to the displeasure of her mother, she prefers baking to brewing potions and gardening to casting hexes. When a spell to summon flour goes very wrong, Mariel finds herself staring down a demon—one she inadvertently summoned for a soul bargain.Ozroth the Ruthless is a legend among demons. Powerful and merciless, he drives hard bargains to collect mortal souls. But his reputation has suffered ever since a bargain went awry—if he can strike a bargain with Mariel, he will earn back his deadly reputation. Ozroth can't leave Mariel's side until they complete a bargain, which she refuses to do (turns out some humans are attached to their souls).But the witch is funny. And curvy. And disgustingly yet endearingly cheerful. Becoming awkward roommates quickly escalates when Mariel, terrified to confess the inadvertent summoning to her mother, blurts out that she's dating Ozroth. As Ozroth and Mariel struggle with their opposing goals and maintaining a fake relationship, real attraction blooms between them. But Ozroth has a limited amount of time to strike the deal, and if Mariel gives up her soul, she'll lose all her emotions—including love—which will only spell disaster for them both.Show Notes: Cocktober came early!

Our biggest discussion centered around how annoying it is to have individuals in delayed adolescence due to personal wealth giving a critique of capitalism, but he's a demon so it's not like that was the most unrealistic thing.
