Mr Plezier is een heerlijk zomers verhaal van Vi Keeland en Penelope Ward, bekend van bestsellers als De baas en De perfecte huisgenoot.Uitgegeven door VoltSpreker(s): Shari Klein

Sexy, charming, witty, caring, and all around good guy, Carter, its our male character. Cute, rich, adventurous, and wishy washy take forever to make a decision, leading lady is Kendall. She's a mess, he's a shit ton of fun. They meet randomly in an airport, and both of their lives change for the better. Traveling the world was fun, but when emotions start to develop they don't seem to be on the same page. Of course, the past comes back to try and wreck everything, but this time a happy ever after may not be in the cards, even though the sex is real good.

Sasha and Nicole chat about My Favorite Souvenir by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

Sasha and Nicole chat about Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

Continuing our conversation about Bright Bananas on the Romance Tree — this week we're reading an extreme oldie, Anne Stuart's Tangled Lies, famous for being a story about a heroine falling for her brother…except he's not really her brother! It's a RIDE. We talk about just how odd romance could be back in the day, about how this book might be an ancestor to dark romance, and about how alpha alpha heroes could really get. And then we talk about modern contemporary romance and how things are changing in traditional publishing. Our next read along in some number of weeks (three? four?) is Kylie Scott's Lead, one of our longtime favorites. Get it at Amazon, Apple Books, B&N, Kobo, or Bookshop.org! 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 NotesBombshell comes out on Aug 24th. You should preorder it from WORD in Brooklyn, which will for sure come with some cool swag, including a special edition Fated Mates sticker. Best Friend Kelly did a Twitter poll asking people about their experiences ordering books + swag from Indie bookstores. Speaking of which, the art by Liz Parkes for The Soulmate Equation is the cutest! You might need this page as you are reading Tangled Lies.Speaking of books from your grandma's attic, look at what HEAapologist found this week! If you want this feeling without having relatives cool enough to leave them lying around, just order a big lot of random romances from eBay. For individual titles, Jen thinks Thrift Books is better than Amazon because you don't pay shipping for each individual title.Rob Imes has a page on his blog where he keeps track of all the category lines through 1989. In the case of Tangled Lies, it was first published as Harlequin Intrigue #5, then it was rebranded in the Men Made in America series, and finally part of the Famous Firsts Collection that celebrated Harlequin's 60th anniversary. Fiction DB is the place to do if you're looking for an author's backlist. Here is Anne Stuart's page, the one where the soldier and the nun have a baby together. Also, Catspaw.Check out Adriana's Instagram Live Series about telenovelas. Sarah was on to talk about Falcon Crest, because she imprinted on Lorenzo Llamas in his swim suit. His character's name was Lance Cumson. Sure.Speaking of Adriana, now is the time to preorder One Week to Claim it All. Jen and her brother Mike will be on to talk about Santa Barbara.In case you don't remember the movie Sneakers a very similar situation happens when Robert Redford is out for pizza in the 60s. And it looks like Jen & Sarah aren't the only ones who love this movie. Why we were all afraid of piranhas and quicksand in the 80s. I don't know why.The Pondering Padre (from the original cover) looks like Friar Lawrence, but not like Friar Tuck. Please note: not that kind of Priest.In the introduction, Anne Stuart mentioned being inspired by an old movie called Miss Tatlock's Millions (1948) but when it comes to "ope, maybe we're related" in pop culture, it seems hard not to talk about the influence of Flowers in the Attic and its famous incestual relationship. More recently, it was the Lannister twins in Game of Thrones or the folks in this Slate column.In romance, it was more common that these attractions were the mark of villainous men lusting after their sisters, such as Prisoner of My Desire by Johanna Lindsey, and others by Bertrice Small and Stella Cameron. A more updated story is Mister Moneybags by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.In film, along with Miss Tatlock's Millions, Sarah metioned Crimson Peak (2015), and Jen is kicking herself for not bringing up the terrific movie movie Lone Star (1996).Jen wrote about paratext on Twitter, which of course turned into a cover conversation. We have a lot of fun interviews with authors coming up in June, and our next read along (in a couple of weeks) will be Lead by Kylie Scott. Vulture TV Critic Angelica Jade Bastién wrote a thread asking why she's bored, and wondering what happend to interesting failures. Donald Glover returned to Twitter to blame cancel culture for boring art, but then he canceled his own tweets later. A few think pieces about why sexual content is being deplatformed on the: who is doing it, and who it impacts. I bet you're shocked to learn its about capitalism and right-wing politics. Why Sarah's Facebook group OSRBC keeps getting dragged into the net.We have a lot of really fun guests coming up in the next few weeks: Tia Williams, Zoraida Cordova, and Nana Malone. Our next read along (at some point in June) will be Lead by Kylie Scott.

In this episode, we discuss The Christmas Pact by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. Riley Kennedy and her colleague Kennedy Riley meet in person at the office holiday party after sparring over misdirected emails. While Riley was initially infuriated by Kennedy’s nosy responses to emails meant for her, he manages to convince her that he’d make a great date to impress her mother when she goes home for Christmas. In return, she agrees to be his date for his brother’s wedding. Their act manages to fool everyone and, as they become closer, they both start to wonder if there is something more to their scheme than a simple agreement.

Another age-gap romance! Is Jessen trying to convert anti-age-gappers? Nah, everybody has their likes and dislikes. BUT, we do like to highlight when the trope is done well and not in a creepy way. Penelope Ward delivers a relaxing slowburn romance perfect for summertime. Before we deep dive into the story, listen to a brief chit-chat/check-in with Jessen and Juliette talk about lake vacations and Jessen's run-in with a raccoon (00:58). Get to know the characters, setting, and tropes during their spoiler-free discussion of When August Ends (4:52). Spoiler Section: Juliette and Jessen compete in a Showdown where they each offer up their favorite scene to see which one reigns supreme (9:46). Then, take a deep dive into all the SPOILERY details of this slowburn romance (15:42).Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/swreadrom)

"We’re not very good plotters. We basically know maybe one page of stuff when we start. We’ll know maybe what the twist is, what we’re building towards, and kind of who the characters are … then we just basically start writing.”— Vi Keeland

Today's show is a fun e-book haul of books that I purchased this past month. Books featured: Delta Force Heroes, Siren Enslaved (ARC) by Lexi Blake, The Pleasure of Panic by J.A. Huss, Rebel Heir by VI Keeland and Penelope Ward, The Hot One by Lauren Blakely, The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle, The Oracle Queen by Kendare Blake.

We're finally back to cover another listener recommendation: Dear Bridget, I Want You by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland! This one features a sexy British doctor, a widowed nurse, and a lot of cheeky sexual “in-yer-end-os.” This episode features some extra special personal news, plenty of Logistics with Erin, the TRUTH about otters (*sobbing emoji*), and a brand new segment we’re calling, Is This Sex Position Physically Possible?  Self Love Recommendations:  Erin: Get thyself a bathbomb! Melody: Seek out a meditation app to take at least 10 minutes for yourself each day. 

It’s that time again, HBs! Start reading for our next 5-Star iTunes review listener recommendation, Dear Bridget, I Want You by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland! This one features a sexy British doctor, a widowed nurse, and a lot of cheeky sexual “in-yer-end-os,” as Mel would say. This episode also features some extra special personal news, plenty of Logistics with Erin, some hard truths about otters, and a brand new segment we’re calling, Is This Sex Position Physically Possible?  SO STOKED.

We couldn’t help ourselves, we had to dive back into the Penelope Ward well and well, she did not disappoint. Next book: Bound by Honor (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles Book 1) by Cora Reilly

Too many demons, not enough pages to parse them all. This is the life work of Sherrilyn Kenyon. Apologies for my annoying Trumpian sniffling. I’d blame allergies but you all know it’s the pure Grade A New Jersey Shore coke. Next book: RoomHate by Penelope Ward
