Customer Reviews
Perfection!
I love this podcast - it’s my top listen. Clare and Karina bring their extensive knowledge of the romance genre and thoughtful analysis of trends and tropes to every episode, with the perfect amount of fun banter. The only downside is that I can’t interject with my obviously vital opinions.
Unapologetic in the best way
Mum, I take back all the times I teased you about your Mills & Boon addiction. I love how Karina and Claire celebrate the feel-good factor that comes with the genre. Just like a good rom-com, this podcast is my comfort listen in a sea of bro pods.
Delightful chatter
I adore this podcast, it’s like chatting over a glass of rosé with a couple of my BFFs, to discuss fine books, films and the like!
