On This episode of a Quick Shot of Romance Heather and Becky are reviewing If You Hate me by Helena Hunting.
Helena was SO great to chat with and every bit as amazing as her female leads I have fallen in love with over the years. Humble, funny, and fascinating, it was so cool to get a peek inside her mind.It was so cool to learn about her almost method acting style research she does into her books. If one of her characters has done it and it's hands on, there's a good chance she has tried it herself. What's even cooler, is that some of it has stuck. We talk all about her top 5 favorite crafts to get lost in, the random thing she has in common with the female lead in her most recent book, If You Hate Me, supportive female friend groups, and what's up next in her new Toronto Terror series. Happy Listening!Thanks for listening to Babes Read One-Handed!

I should have taken any other route out of the Toronto Terror head office.But I didn't and now – everything is different.At first I didn't recognize the woman doing a victory dance down the hall when she thought no one was watching.Until she turned around.And that beautiful smile was aimed at me.There is no woman more off limits.She's the team princess.And my best friend's daughter.Amazon US → https://amzn.to/49YOZXeCA → https://amzn.to/433bPdWAU → https://amzn.to/3P3uXmgUK → https://amzn.to/4bUBtWpAmazon Universal → https://geni.us/IfYouWantMeWebsite → https://helenahunting.com/books/if-you-want-me/Add it to Goodreads → https://geni.us/IfYouWantMeGRReader group and other socials:Instagram → http://instagram.com/helenahuntingGoodreads → https://geni.us/HelenaHuntingGoodreadsNEWSLETTER → http://bit.ly/HelenaHuntingNewsThe Beaver Den → http://bit.ly/TheBeaverDenHH This is a public episode.

Mrs. TNTBS hosts author Helena Hunting during this segment of This Needs To Be Read "with her latest book, "Starry Eyed Love" Having just broken up with her boyfriend, London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on. Especially not when she's out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his number, she passes it right back to him with a ‘thanks, but no thanks'. As the business administrator for their family's event hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry about, like bringing in new clientele. As luck would have it, a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal. Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company's CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting. Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned down at the bar a few months ago. As they begin to spend more time together, their working relationship blossoms into something more. It isn't until their professional entanglements are finally over, that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. But between Jackson's secretive past and London's struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands - not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tntbsmedia/message

Sarah loves the preview of the new Batman movie.Our love of Days of Lives couples Jack & Jennifer and Patch & Kayla is eternal and everlasting. (Ps. Jen's favorite scene is not in that video, her search continues.)The Twilight fandom was vast, as we discussed in this episode. And there are important reasons why many folks are drawn to fandom. Last summer, Alexis Daria and Adriana Herrera talked about fanfiction and fandom on Instagram Live, and it's a great watch.Christina and Lauren mentioned “canon” and “AU” and AO3 and livejournal and fandom bootcamp and maybe you want a primer on some fanfic terms.Maybe you also need a primer on a cinnamon roll character.These hugely popular romance writers came up through fanfic: Sally Thorne, Alice Clayton, Nina Bocci, Tara Sue Me, Amanda Weaver, Rebekah Weatherspoon, Helena Hunting, Daisy Prescott, EL James, and Ruth Clampett. Present-tense, stream of consciousness flow, and intense character work are some of the hallmarks of fandom writing, and some of those stylistic choices have influenced mainstream fiction in multiple genres, including romance.Did you miss the community experience of The Submissive? Lucky for you, it's now available as a stand alone novel, and the next books in the series The Dominant and The Training also started as fic.Christina and Lauren and Nina Bocci worked on the Fandom Gives Back fundraiser to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand.Jen said she loves Beautiful Player, but honestly no one will be surprised that she got the title wrong and her real favorite is Beautiful Stranger. Just read all of them. You won't be disappointed.The question of who owns these stories and the legalities of fanfic is so interesting, and specifically the history of Fifty Shades of Grey as Fanfic.As promised, a list of CLo recommend fics:Tropic of Virgo by in.a.blue.bathrobe (aka Kira Gold)The Blessing and the Curse by theblackarrow (Sally Thorne)The Best I Ever Had by whatsmynomdeplumeMr. Horrible by algonquinrtCreature of Habit by ezrocksangelThe Art Teacher by spanglemaker9Summer of Salt by lolapopsA Murmur of Fire in the VeinScotch, Gin, and the New Girl by wtvocSarah, Christina, and Lauren will be joined by Kennedy Ryan at an event on Oct 21st for a zoom event at Northshire Books.

Last time, yr girls explored the subversive quaintness of Amish romance in our inaugural Entrop[e]y episode. This week, Morgan and Isabeau are back in the game for our first installment on SPORTS romance with Pucked, by Helena Hunting. Here we find Violet, the step-sister of a successful hockey player, linking up with the impossibly hung team captain, Alex, for a night of passionate goal making. But when Alex starts to pursue Violet, her status among the other players, including her sexually possessive step-brother, takes a bender. What kind of relationship, if any, do yr girls have with hockey? When does a gesture become too grand? And did we mention how buck-fucking-wild this book is? We’re running this zamboni straight through yr five hole for this one y’all, so lace up. Whoa!mance is a part of the Frolic Podcast Network.

As voted on by our supporters on the IDEOTVPOD Patreon, this episode we're strapping on our pads and skating around the tough issues posed by Forever Pucked, by Helena Hunting. Ice-cool customer Rachel Millman fleshes out our team as she and J. and Collision try to score on this ribald tale of work, marriage, family, violence, hockey, and raunch. A lot of raunch. More raunch than we've ever confronted (or, in some cases, enjoyed) before. Yes, this is a novel of romance — hockey romance — with a comedic bent. So, as the nights grow longer harder and the days trend colder, it's time for us all to cozy up to our best, longest, largest hockey sticks and start slapping ... shots. Extra thanks to great friend of the show A. A. Freeman for bringing this raucous ride to our attention, and it's probably worth noting that this particular episode brings more than a soupçon of naughty from the first second, so, uh ... headphones? Headphones. Recommendations: Slap Shot Atlanta The Goon Music: "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate "Pony" by Ginuwine "Detroit" by Rancid "My Game" by Hanson Brothers
