Two friends discuss romance novels - the steamier the better. Many laughs and glasses of wine are had along the way. It's a little bit dirty, but definitely funny.

Episode 88: Risks & Whiskey by Dani McLean
Welcome everyone! Today, we’re not only talking about Risks and Whiskey by Dani McLean, but we’re talking to Dani McLean herself! Risks & Whiskey is a friends-to-lovers workplace romance with a double grand gesture and plenty of spice. We do our regular compliment sandwich plus ratings, stunt casting, and recommendations, and in between, you’ll get to hear Dani talk about this book, as well as her novella series and what she has coming up next (and why next Christmas might be real awkward for her family). Also discussed: our s****y weeks, the follow-up to Rae’s love spell purchase, the rampant epidemic of dead parents in our books.

Episode 87: Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon
Welcome lovely listeners! Today, we’re discussing Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon. We got an ARC through NetGalley and we’re covering it early for scheduling reasons. Marketed as a playful romantic comedy featuring dueling delis, fake dating, a shockingly awesome ex, and juuuuuust the right amount of amnesia. Having read the book, we can confirm that it’s the perfect amount of amnesia. Also discussed: Cameo as a concept (Thank you Thoren Bradley for the birthday wishes!), documentaries that make you think, and the Ghostbusters empire.

Episode 86: Dust Storm by Maggie Gates
The ladies are getting in on the single dad action (...what?) with Dust Storm by Maggie Gates. Christian Griffin, widower with two adorable daughters, took over operations from his father, but business doesn’t always go as planned, and they’ve hit a rough patch. City slicker Cassandra Parker is in hot water at work, so she’s being exiled to the sprawling Texas ranch to develop a long-term plan for the business. These two butt heads immediately, even though they’re both attracted to each other from jump street. Also discussed: Mr. Veronica’s opinion in Toys for Twats (more on Patreon!), why dress codes are intrinsically sexist, and the finer points of Topo Chico.

Episode 85: Kilt Trip by Alexandra Kiley
Hiya, wee lads and lasses! We landed an ARC of https://www.threads.net/@akileybooks debut novel Kilt Trip, which means you get to listen to Rae’s Scottish accent. When Addie Macrae’s wanderlust leads her to her homeland—specifically, Edinburgh—to consult with a family-run travel company, she’s thrown face-first into ghosts from her past. And the person leading that charge? Logan… the heir to the travel company. Who she accidentally already met when she was doing recon, which doesn’t exactly lead to the best start of their working relationship. Can they get past their rivalry in order to save the company? Also discussed: books we have no intention of reading, our awful weeks, and how gorgeous Scotland is.

Episode 84: Never Tell by Stacey Abrams
Our second pick for Black History Month is Never Tell by Stacey Abrams (writing as Selena Montgomery). Never Tell is a romantic suspense initially published in 2004, but republished in 2023 by St. Martin’s Griffin. Dr. Erin Abbott is a professor in New Orleans, Louisiana, who finds herself at the center of a serial killer’s tangled web—and journalist Gabriel Moss is the only person taking her seriously. Can Erin and Gabriel figure out who’s killing people in Erin’s orbit before they get to Erin? Also discussed: the return of Jon Stewart, wearing heels while chasing dinosaurs, and how we’ve forgotten how to do our own show.

Episode 83: More Than a Feeling by Lauren Morrill
Welcome to a BONUS episode of CLBC! We landed an ARC of Lauren Morrill’s new book More Than a Feeling and we couldn’t not tell you about it. Due to technical difficulties, this episode is releasing a week after the release of the book, but we’re incredibly honored to have had the opportunity to interview Lauren and hear all about her plans for the Cardinal Springs series. More Than a Feeling introduces us to the McBride family, where we follow Grace as she devises a plan to save the town’s library from state funding cuts. Decker, her oldest brother’s best friend, is back in their small hometown to lay low for the summer—but he doesn’t even make it through one night before he’s decking someone in a bar. As his punishment, law enforcement gives him community service… with Grace. Can Grace navigate her ire for Decker? Or will his charm win her over? Also discussed: sportsball, Lauren and Veronica’s Swiftie designations, and the actual song, More Than a Feeling by Boston.
