Once relegated to supermarket aisles, romance books are now mainstream. And authors, an often-maligned group within publishing, have found greater commercial success than many writers in other genres. On today's episode of Love Week, our series on the business of romance, we find out how romance novelists rode the e-book wave and networked with each other to achieve their happily-for-now status in the industry.

The book of the moment for today's episode is Amor Actually by Sabrina Sol, Diana Stewart, Alexis Daria, Adriana Herrera, Priscilla Oliveras, Mia Sosa, and Zoraida Córdova. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. We will be discussing this book in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending. Sabrina Sol writes spicy romance stories about strong Latinas and their search for love, success and happiness. She lives in sunny Southern California with her husband, three kids and two Beagles. Diana Stewart lives in an often chaotic and always welcoming home that—depending on the day—can hold husband, kids, extended family, friends, and a canine or two. A believer in the power of words to heal, connect, and distract from chores, Diana blogs regularly on topics near and dear to her heart, including spotlight pieces on strong women from around the world. When not writing, Diana can be found kayaking, doing sprints up her long driveway—harder than it sounds–attempting yoga on her deck, or hiking with the man who's had her heart since they were teens. Alexis Daria writes stories about successful Latinx characters and their (occasionally messy) familias. You Had Me at Hola, the first book in her Primas of Power series, is a national bestseller. Alexis is a lifelong New Yorker who loves Broadway musicals and pizza. USA Today bestselling author ADRIANA HERRERA was born and raised in the Caribbean, but for the last 15 years has let her job (and her spouse) take her all over the world. She loves writing stories about people who look and sound like her people, getting unapologetic happy endings. PRISCILLA OLIVERAS is a USA Today bestselling author and 2018 RWA® RITA® double finalist who writes contemporary romance with a Latinx flavor. Proud of her Puerto Rican-Mexican heritage, she strives to bring authenticity to her novels by sharing her Latinx culture with readers. Mia Sosa is an award-winning and USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance. A former First Amendment and media lawyer, Mia practiced for more than a decade before trading her suits for loungewear (read: sweatpants). Now she writes fun, flirty, and moderately dirty stories about imperfect characters finding their perfect match. Mia lives in Maryland with her husband, their two daughters, and one dog that rules them all. Zoey Castile was born in Ecuador and raised in Queens, New York. She started writing in her teens and pursued that love in her studies at Hunter College and the University of Montana. For nearly a decade, she worked as a bartender, hostess, and manager in New York City's nightlife.

What is the #1 genre of books sold in America?  Thrillers?  I mean you see those authors being interviewed all the time with the release of a new book.  Nope!  And not by a long shot.  The #1 sold genre of books is romance novels.    Literally 1/3 of all books sold are romance novels with over $1 billion every year.  But yet romance novels still have stigma.  Why?  Maybe because its a genre mostly written by women for women.So I decide it was time to talk about it.  I invited author Priscilla Oliveras to come be a guest on the show.  She is an award winning author that adds her hispanic culture to her books.  Her books include Anchored Hearts and Island Affair, as well as The Perfect Affair, The Perfect Partner, and The Perfect Melody.  EPISODE 14 COCKTAIL RECIPE | Tequila Mimosa1 oz silver tequila4 oz dry sparkling wine2 oz grapefruit juice1/2 oz simple syrupGarnish with Fancy Sprinkle edible glitterFor all the latest contests and happening behind the scenes:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Karas-Lipsti... Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karaslipsti...To view the antics subscribe to the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2P...#karaslipstickdiary​ #romancenovelsABOUT KARA'S LIPSTICK DIARYKara Winslow is freelance on location makeup artist based in Florida that has worked in the entertainment and wedding/event industries for over 25 years.  She spent over a decade doing work at HSN both on camera and behinds the scenes for a cosmetic company.  After several years of being away from being on camera she decided to launch her podcast.

We talk about our favorite second chance romances and dig into the Venn diagram of second chance, marriage in trouble, secret baby, childhood sweethearts, and one night stands.

Preorder the delightful Anchored Hearts at Amazon, B&N, Apple, Kobo or from your local indie.Next week, we're we're reading a romantic suspense—Whiteout by Adriana Anders.

Her next novel, Anchored Hearts comes out next Tuesday, April 27th. You can order signed copies (bookplates) with recipe cards from Love's Sweet Arrow. The first in the series, Island Affair, has the fake relationship trope. Key West things Priscilla mentioned: the half marathon in January, and the Cuban restaurant El Mason de Pepe.This Goodreads list of second chance romance has over a thousand titles! Operation Peter Pan moved over 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba to the US between 1960-1962.We think cliff diving might be a bad idea.In Wild Card and The Highwayman, the heroine doesn't recognize the hero, but the absolute pinnacle of this is the 1997 movie Face/Off with John Travolta and Nic Cage. You honestly have to see it to believe it. Theodosia is a name we all know from Hamilton. Aaron Burr married Theodosia Bartow Prevost, and it was an age gap romance! she was a decade older than he was. Their daughter Theodosia was their only child to survive to adulthood. Here is a very nice video of NWSL players sliding on their knees after scoring goals. That person you liked in high school? You're the one that got away, not the other way around. Next week, we'll be discussing Whiteout by Adriana Anders.

I’m in the mood for a steamy pirate romance, but not one that’s cheesy or over the top ridiculous (which unfortunately is all I’ve been able to find.) My favorite romance authors are Tessa Dare and Sara Maclean, mostly because of the feminist tone and whimsy. Thanks for keeping me company while I commute to work! -Brooke 2. I’m reading Where The Crawdads Sing. Omg! I’m flying through this book. I love that the marsh is a character. Can you recommend a book that has that same feel? I’ve also read Moloka’i and loved it! I live in NC but have spent some time in Hawaii. I would love southern/beach/island. I also wouldn’t mind something set in Europe or Africa but please no middle America. I like something I can spend some time with so please no graphic novels or short stories. Thank you so much! -Jessica 3. I’m 47 and went thru a divorce two years ago. I’m looking for romance novels that involve women that have been married for many years and are rejoining the dating world and finding love. I’ve not been brave  enough to do so yet and need inspiration.  -Lee 4. Hello! I’ve been a chick lit fan since I read the first Bridget Jones book in 2000ish.  I’ve read many of the popular authors from the last 20 years or so.  I mostly like ones set in the United Kingdom, that are contemporary and of the romantic comedy type.  No dukes, lords or highlanders, not too much graphic sex, not too much real high stakes drama.  Just fun, wacky, romantic comedy hijinx!  Some popular authors I’ve read and enjoyed in the past are Helen Fielding, Marian Keyes, Jojo Moyes, Sophie Kinsella, Jill Mansell, Katie Fforde, Jenny Colgan, Jane Green, and Louise Rennison. Pretty much all of the early 2000’s chick lit staples.  I’ve been looking for something light and fun to read this summer,  and would love to discover some new chick lit authors and titles. Hopefully some with a bit more diversity!  I recently read and loved Queenie. Thanks so much! I’m a big fan of the podcast and looking forward to your suggestions.   -Tamara 5. Hey guys! I was really hoping you could help me out of a reading slump I’m in. I’m in college, and reading usually two books for my classes a week (at least) that are pretty heavy and dense, as well as a bunch of academic articles. So, during the school year I find myself not reading as much for fun, save for comic books. Summer just started however, and I’ve been so excited to relax and read, but now I can’t find the motivations or want to read any of the books I have. I think I need lighter, more fun material; a page turner. I read pretty much any genre, but mostly sci-fi and fantasy, and sometimes historical fiction. My two favorite authors are Donna Tartt and N.K. Jemisin. Also, no graphic novel recommendations please, as I find myself still able to read those.   -Scarlett 6. My husband and I are considering adopting/fos-adopting a child. And like the reader I am, it always makes me feel more comfortable to read as much about it as I can before jumping in. I’m looking for books about the adoption process. Can be fiction or nonfiction. Memoir or biography would be great. I just recently read “Instant Mom” by Nia Vardalos and that really fit what I’m looking for. I’m looking for material from the perspective of the people doing the adopting, NOT from the perspective of the person being or having been adopted (which is what I keep finding). Books can be either book or audio format. Fiction is fine if it is something I can read to relate to or get inspiration from. Thank you so much for your help! -Ally 7. I have recently become a romance obsessed reader. I mostly read M/M romance and I love the jock and the “what is sports and who cares” guy trope. What I would like is an F/F version of this trope. I am thinking of something like a member of the US Women’s National Soccer Team and a woman who does not get sports. (Yes, I have a crush on Megan Rapinoe. Who doesn’t?) Although I love YA, I would really love it if these were adults so being an athlete is the job of one of the women. I am totally happy with sexy times on the page. (The hotter, the better.) Thank you so much! -DyAnne Books Discussed The Rogue Pirate’s Bride by Shana Galen Captured by Beverly Jenkins Land of Love and Drowning by Tiphanie Yanique (tw: rape of a child) All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld (tw: violence against women incl. sexual assault, harm to animals) The Switch by Beth O’Leary His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras (cw: family member with cancer) The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory Sofia Khan Is Not Obliged by Ayisha Malik Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan Rebelwing by Andrea Tang A Big Ship At the Edge of the Universe by Alex White  To the End of June by Cris Beam Motherhood So White by Nefertiti Austin Fire and Ice by Rachel Spangler Roller Girl by Vanessa North
