As a former twelve year old reading flea market romance books this is hands down my favorite of the romance book podcast. I am tickled every time I see a familiar title in the feed and enjoy looking at my old favs with adult eyes.

Hey! I’m as serious… or possibly slightly more than the next girl. But I too read books that were exciting, confusing and embarrassing from my local library. Those romance novels & etc. were … they were … Anyway let’s face it - there is A LOT to unpack here. Why not listen to these...Read full review »

I haven’t read many of the books this crew read and review, but the ones I have, I’ve enjoyed their analysis. The Thorn Birds is a book that I couldn’t finish reading due to the grooming and general misery, so I enjoyed hearing the character and plot discussion and finding out what happened in...Read full review »

Courtney and Sara bring a terrific show all about the world of romance novels. While I must admit I'm not well versed in the topic they have great energy together and it's def a fun premise! Read full review »

Funny and enthusiastic hosts with a fun idea: read trashy lit add alcohol and see what happens. Despite some questionable books, the podcast is great. If you’re a fan of book clubs subscribe now!

Okay, now that I’ve warned you, I have to say this is one of the funniest and weirdest podcasts I have had the joy of listening to. The cohosts are whip-smart, a little (a lot) tipsy, and have nary a filter between them. Escapism at its finest.

If you like old school romance novels and wine and southern accents, this is your jam! Even if you don’t like those things, you’ll LOL listening to this podcast. While the hosts’ commentary is informed and hilarious, it’s also contextualized and socially aware. If it dials up in intensity and...Read full review »

Hilarious and smart discussions about the older romance books that we all somehow found and read, with wine and recurring ratings that always make me smile. Greatly appreciate them bringing forward authors I wasn’t as familiar with and helping me to find more diversity in my reading.

I like the insight into the books you guys read and you guys are funny

Sheer joy, especially on a dark and quar-y night. The hosts are somehow both radically different and perfectly suited to each other. Like sitting at the dinner table after everyone’s had too much, listening to two very clever, (lightly?) horny friends.

I am standing here beside myself, flabbergasted as I read other reviews. They are grabbing erratically without any effort at all to stick to a topic. The content yawns and meanders like a sailboat without a butter.

Grew up on these trashy novels and they laugh at them while respecting the source. These stories are so implausible but dang are they not entertaining. I remember my mom giving me a copy of The Other Side of Midnight way back in the day. Wow!!!! Sex and more sex. No wonder everyone in the 70s...Read full review »

These ladies leave me in stitches. Thanks also for addressing some of the problematic stuff in old romance. Binged on a road trip and couldn’t stop laughing.

It's like listening to two Julia Sugarbakers talk about vintage romance novels and if you don't think that's amazing I don't know how to explain to you why you're wrong.Read full review »

I know nothing about romance novels but holy cow, Courtney and Sara make these stories come to life! Their reviews are not only well thought out, but highly entertaining to listen to. The hosts work great together as well! Listening to an episode is like having wine with an old friend. Join this...Read full review »

Sarah and Courtney are fantastic hosts (with fantastic accents!!). Love the convos about consent and sex positive themes incorporated in their discussion of these romance novels! And if you're going to read trashy novels, you might as well get trashed while talking about them! So much fun!Read full review »

Honestly, I need to start reading romance novels. I'm one of those dudes that sits around saying "well, I'm not really into romance, but it's cool," but Sara and Courtney have got me thinking that I really ought to expand my horizons. The hosts bring a well-researched, honest...Read full review »

I have never read a romance novel in my life, but I love this podcast. The hosts are hilarious, they clearly love the genre (even if there's some gentle ribbing of the crazier aspects of some books) and it's a joy to listen to.Read full review »

I’ve never been a reader of romance novels, but these two make me want to give them a try! Courtney and Sara are incredibly smart and their reviews are entertaining and easy to follow. As a listener, you can tell that these hosts love what they do. It’s awesome to listen to great friends have...Read full review »

I don’t know much about romance novels but the hosts are so good at explaining the plot and appeal of these books it makes the show so much fun to listen to. They sound so great and are awesome together.

I'm not really a fan of romance novels and definitely not a fan of the bodice-ripper variety, but I AM a fan of this podcast. The hosts are funny and obviously have a great deal of knowledge and interest in the genre. Even if you're not a fan of old trashy romance novels, you'll love...Read full review »

When I first heard about this podcast, I was intrigued. When I finally had the chance to listen, I was involved! Love listening to these two fierce ladies chat, it’s fun, quick-witted, smart and with just the perfect amount of silliness. Thank you Courtney and Sara, can’t wait for more!!

Who says you can't have both? If you enjoy the run down of romance novels so cheesy you can't help but be drawn in, you will LOVE this podcast.Read full review »

If you are looking for a podcast that have charismatic hosts and literally bring the pages to life, this is IT! Also when I listen, because they are so comprehensive, does it count as having read the book? I say yes. Subscribe and listen now!
