This week, we're talking about romance's most common family: the dysfunctional one! Sarah wrote a book about one, so we're thinking about what makes them special to romance, and what sets the romantic dysfunctional family apart from the ones that live outside of the genre. Jen has five categories. There's a game involved. You can play along at home! If you love this one, you can listen to our Daddy Issues (not the fun kind) episode with C. Travis Rice. And if you just want to listen to an episode about Daddies (the fun kind), we've got you. Sarah's book, These Summer Storms is out in three weeks and she is going on tour! What's more, there is a real deal Fated Mates LIVE planned for July 8th in St. Louis, MO! Get tickets to any of these events (Jen will be at a bunch of them, and other pod friends will be popping up along the way) at sarahmaclean.net/tour! If you can't make the tour, you can preorder These Summer Storms signed with a special romance dust jacket from The Ripped Bodice.

We're talking about the worst possible thing that can happen to a romance heroine today (it's always the heroines) -- ruination! Whether the hero did it, another man did it, or society simply decided that she's ruined, there's simply nothing to be done about it...except revenge, a triumphant return, or the crowning of a new reigning queen. We cover all three here, with almost entirely new to the pod books, and even get some contemporaries into the mix!If you want more Fated Mates in your life, please join our Patreon, which comes with an extremely busy and fun Discord community!

Our audiobook this week is TOUCH ME by Angelina Lopez Marisol Gutierrez had it all – an amazing husband, great kids, and a successful investment firm. But when you've got it all, you've got it all to lose, and the stress she's trying to manage all on her own is why she cries in her corner office for an exact half hour every Thursday before her one-hour massage with the best hands in San Francisco. When the hands touch her body this Thursday, however, they're not the hands of her masseuse. Instead, it's the huge superhero hands of movie star Ray Morgan, her newest client and a man whose desire to take care of her has made him harder and harder to resist Angelina Lopez: https://amzn.to/3OKyP99 Giveaway – https://bit.ly/3ynlWfQ After Hours on Milagro Street: https://amzn.to/3OuLzRu Filthy Rich Series: https://amzn.to/3u6yqpR ♥ ♥ ♥ RMR Website: https://bit.ly/3ifFIyw Read Me Romance Merch: https://bit.ly/39JB8XG Weekly New Release: https://bit.ly/30iDete Follow Read Me Romance on Instagram: https://geni.us/uUVdVeY Latest Alexa Riley Releases: https://bit.ly/3qrQpVS Join Read Me Romance Headquarters on FB: https://geni.us/IdL7B Find Alexa Riley on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2HGrxpQ Alexa Riley TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdUryXr9/ Read Me Romance Theme Song by L.B.

Oh hello! Mel's brother's wedding was the weekend before she moved her whole house and family and life. In other words, things are nuts over here! So you get an encore of A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest! Or, as we're calling it, 50 Shades of Twilight: A Tale of Teenage Stockholm Syndrome. Full disclosure, we didn't necessarily *like* this book, but we cannot wait to give you a hilarious after-school special about why we didn't. We present a *very special episode* about what the kids are reading these days.  Self Love Recommendations:  - Watch Big Little Lies on HBO or something else where talented people are slaying the game.  - Listen to the last 15 minutes of The Ringer's Binge Mode. In the final episode there's a beautiful oration about not being ashamed for your interests and escapism. Plus, best friends gush about each other, which you know we LOVE!  Episode Notes:  If you like excellent vampire tales, be sure to check out American Vampire wherever you get your comics! Scott Snyder is the main writer and they've had arcs with Stephen King and more.  And quick *CORRECTION* from this episode, "women in refrigerators" or "getting refrigerated" began in the 90's with Green LANTERN, not Green Arrow. Either way, I think we can all agree that ladies should be fully formed characters instead of merely plot devices, right? Thank goodness even mainstream comics have seen the light since then!   Make sure to check out Mel's new podcast https://bonkers-romance.captivate.fm/listen (Bonkers Romance)!  Subscribe! Rate!
