  • Two of my favorite romance authors in one place!

    I’ve loved and admired these two baddies from afar but listening to their podcast feels like sitting at a coffee shop and chatting it up with besties. So freakin relatable and fun with all the incredible insight and real life experiences that make them each so likable. G & Kandi, thanks for this treat! I’ll be tuning in weekly.

Q: If you only had your books backed up on your computer and it crashed and the tech guy said, I can recover one of them, which one would it be?
