So did it work out for your intrepid reviewers, or nose-dive into disappointment? Listen to find out! Follow Redheads on Romance on Instagram!

    "ACOTAR" book review: Battle of two fae hotties

    Sarah J. Maas wrote A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR), the tale of 19-year-old human Feyre who journeys to the faerie world, when she was just 23 years old. Ten years and four more books later, all things ACOTAR have launched the red-hot "romantasy" (romance/fantasy) genre to the height of popularity. Holly and Lily read the first book, recap it, and try to figure out what all the fuss is about. Pros: Hot male fae. Cons: Well, you'll just have to listen to find out.

    "Love of the Irish" review, Hallmark sexy or just plain sad?

    Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, we found the latest Hallmark movie for such a time as this. Cute Irishman plot has to be a winner, right? Well ... maybe if they did a better job casting or styling the leading lady ... we've got words for this one. Follow Redheads on Romance on Instagram!

    Review of Hallmark's latest schlock, "Return to Office"

    In the latest non-holiday offering from the Hallmark Channel, workplace romance and enemies-to-lovers seemed good ingredients—as well as Scott Michael Foster of "Crazy Ex Girlfriend" fame—but the results came up as steam-free as the North Pole.  Follow Redheads on Romance on Instagram!

    Loving & loathing romance books and intro to tropes

    Review of "The Hating Game" movie - why did they do this?!

    The movie version was released in 2021, and we have some THOUGHTS about the casting. Plus, every book adaptation has some changes from the book, but a few of these were truly inexplicable, as we discuss. Adult themes, not for young ears! Movie is currently available to stream on Disney+. Follow Redheads on Romance on Instagram!
