“As Clayton says, it’s so hard to find the right words in a review to make sure your doing one of your favorite podcasts justice. But what I can say is in a world of downers, this is an amazingly fun and uplifting podcast that makes you feel connected to a network of friends who love what you love...”Read full review »

“I listen to a ton of podcasts and a lot of them are dark and heavy or require a lot of thought. I needed something light, fun, and easy to listen to and this is exactly what I needed.”

“Knew about this podcast, but I actually finally stopped and listened to these two, and I adore this duo!. First episode I listened to was Dreaming of You by the queen Lisa Kleypas and after that episode I became an instant fan. Love this podcast!!”

“I am a romance novel virgin, and finding this podcast was one of the best things to happen to me in 2022. I will be forever grateful to Clayton and Erin for introducing me to Derek Craven and teaching me things like what a “cinnamon roll” hero means in the world of romance reading. I can’t wait...”Read full review »

“I agree with the other listeners. Erin and Clayton feel like the friends I wish I had to dish about romance novels with. They’re witty, open minded, and not afraid to talk about the sex scenes! I dearly wish they will one day consult on a set somewhere for a Ravennel’s series. 🙏Or invite me on as...”Read full review »

“Genius! Absolutely brilliant! Bringing in the male perspective takes this podcast straight to the TOP! Lisa Kleypas brought me here and here I am to stay. Clayton and Erin… Great chemistry! Thank you for a great listen.”

“I’m a Clayton, standing in front of an Erin, asking her to explain the tropes to me – or at least that’s how it feels with this lovely and hilarious podcast.
I stopped reading romance in college (now in my 40s) because of snobs and The Patriarchy. My New Years Resolution was to fix past wrongs...”Read full review »

“I thought it was fun to find another podcast that discusses romance novels. It is rare to find a male who reads romance and gives a counter/support to the female on her thoughts. I like that they share their tropes for each novel and that they talk about what they liked and didn’t like about the...”Read full review »

“I’ve really been enjoying this podcast! In my opinion, the best book podcasts do not simply recap the book; they dive in much deeper. I like Erin and Clayton‘s discussions on the various themes and tropes in the books. I also really enjoy how they are not afraid to give an opinion on a particular...”Read full review »

“The premise is simple: each week, a longtime Romance reader and a Romance “virgin” read and discuss a Romance novel. They identify the tropes each book uses (Enemies to lovers? Fake relationship? ONLY ONE BED!?), what they enjoyed and what didn’t work for them, and, ever importantly, whether...”Read full review »
