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.

We weren’t ready to leave the hockey rink, so we read Face Off (https://www.amazon.com/Face-Off-Rivals-Lovers-Romance-ebook/dp/B0CS17PXNR/) by Chelsea Curto! It’s been on our list forever and we just hadn’t gotten there, but we’re sooooo glad we did. Give us female hockey players and reformed rakes all day long, please and thank you. We also wax rhapsodic about Dolly Parton because we will always love her.

Episode 147: The Deal by Elle Kennedy (Off Campus)
To round out comfort reads month, we read Veronica’s pick: The Deal (https://www.amazon.com/Deal-Off-Campus-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00TG1CZFC/) by Elle Kennedy. Thanks to Prime’s hit series Off Campus, we’re seeing a well-deserved resurgence of this book, and we’re totally stoked to talk about it. Hockey star Garrett Graham has a problem: he’s failing Ethics, which was supposed to be an easy class to round out his course load. Hannah Wells is sailing through class, and when Garrett begs her to tutor him, she shoots him down real fast. But when he finds out she has a crush on the star quarterback, he proposes a deal: he’ll help her land her crush via classic fake dating if she tutors him. One thing leads to another, and Hannah proposes her own deal. And suddenly, the fake-dating situation doesn’t feel so fake anymore.

Episode 146: The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson
We pulled an audible and chose to do comfort reads for the month of August. Rae chose The Opposite of You (https://www.amazon.com/Opposite-You-Opposites-Attract-Book-ebook/dp/B01NAUAFJV/) by Rachel Higginson, an enemies-to-lovers story about two chefs competing (or not) from across a parking lot. Vera has recently opened a food truck, aptly named Foodie, while trying to get back on her feet following a horrible breakup. Killian is the executive chef at swanky upscale restaurant, Lilou, right across the street. Can they put down the knives and call a truce?
