Mallory and Brea are so funny talking about smutty romance. Do you read the book? Do you not read it? Either way it’s a good time
I wish this was a better podcast, but it just comes out as two book people who don’t have enough experience in this specific genre teeheeing their way through without paying much respect or consideration to a legitimate genre of work. There’s no attempt at background research, and the missteps when it comes to treating the very thorny topic of women’s erotic literature makes it borderline unlistenable. Do better.
Brea and Mallory are beautiful people who revel in the beauty of the romance genre and the many sub genres
This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites. I’ve been a big smut reader for a few years but this has already brought some new recs to my TBR. I love the guests they bring on and the discussions are so good. Highly recommend for readers of all kinds
The hosts are so funny and open. Getting so many book recs. Love this show!
