    By The Horns by Ruby Dixon (Part 1) | 434.1

    Hey HBs! It's part 1 of BY THE HORNS by Ruby Dixon! We're back in this minotaur grave robbing romance series, with a mystery to boot! Here's the deal though: Mel was recently felled by a summer cold and the state of her voice was froggy… if we're being generous. Thankfully, Sabrina swooped in and scheduled a bunch of recordings with some bookish pals to give Mel and her ravished vocal chords a break. So, we’re still covering books in series we’ve recapped before, but the next couple of weeks will be with Sabrina and guests! Today we’ve got two friends and fellow HBs, from The Busy Romnivores podcast! TBR is on a hiatus right now, so this episode is like a mini reunion! Here are Sabrina, Kristen, and Hayley recapping BY THE HORNS by Ruby Dixon! Also, if you want to hear about the first book in this series, listen to episodes 414 parts 1 & 2 about BULL MOON RISING, which we rereleased in January of this year (2026). Bonus Content: Bull riding jokes, terrible investigations, the definitive definition of "Himbo," and so much more! This Friday on PATREON, Sabrina is telling Mel about the Swanlea Sisters series by Sabrina Jeffries! That historical rabbit hole has been treating S real good.  Want to support the show?

    Ladies in Hating by Alexandra Vasti (Part 2) | 433.2

    Hey HBs! We're back for part 2 of LADIES IN HATING by Alexandra Vasti! When we left you yesterday, these two beauties had just kissed for the first time and the very next morning they realized the housekeeper was missing and they were locked inside this haunted mansion. It’s time to escape. That’s where we’re jumping back in! Lady Loves: Mel: a newly-documented sperm whale birth! The whole matriarchy showed up, 11 whale doulas, to help this mama and baby thrive! Also, only 6 species in nature go through menopause; humans and 5 species of whales, including sperm whales! Because they're meant to be the wisdom-keepers! Also, go follow Dr. Krystal M Toney for amazing nature facts/analysis and Dr. Rand Wilson for psychology/nature therapy content! Sabrina: hope. Because if history shows us anything, it's that people DO show up and fight for each other. Turns out, so do whales! BASICALLY people, at their core are good, and we can take a huge amount of hope from that. This Friday on PATREON, Sabrina and Mel are talking about the sapphic fantasy novella Blessed by the Cupid Distribution System by Robin Jo Margaret! It is so cute and cozy and hot y’all.
