Nerdy Romantics Podcast Y. M. Nelson

Nerdy Romantic guest hosts Marcie, Staci, and Dana join Y. M. in reviewing season 2 of Netflix's Bridgerton. The group talks about the new and returning set of characters, memorable scenes, and even address some controversy ... yes, a little.

We did joke about the angsty t-shirt, however, it is a reality, and it's now available for purchase in the NRP merch store.

Episode 16 has romances that feature differently-abled main characters. Y. M. Nelson and Nerdy Romantics Dana and Staci along with new Nerdy Romantic Jen recommend several romance novels that showcase people finding love whether they are deaf, or disfigured, or on the autism spectrum.

Speaking of autism, did you know that April is Autism Awareness Month? (We did). Also, most of these books are by differently-abled authors! 😍🥰😍🤩 Even more incentive to pick up these recommendations. As if you needed it.

We also recommend more of these in the show notes

In our new mini-series, "Who Gets an HEA?" that showcases romances with marginalized heroes and heroines, episode 13 features romances that feature Black main characters. Y. M. Nelson and Nerdy Romantics Marcie and Staci along with new Nerdy Romantic Jen recommend several romance novels that showcase the wonderfulness that's Black Love.

What's even better? These books are by Black female authors! 😍🥰😍🤩

While we recommend several books, this is just the very tip of the iceberg when it comes to masterfully done Black romance? Yes, Black characters should get an HEA, but who should read these? EVERYONE who loves a well-done romance!
