Warning: We spoil things from both Heated Rivalry the show, the book, and The Long Game.

We needed to take a moment to talk about the effect this show has had. Hailey is back to share her insight into how this show could only have been made in Canada. There are some nuts and bolts about the media business in Canada. I loved learning about it.

Elizabeth and I had a wonderful conversation about her origin story. What it's like being a hybrid author. Why monster men are amazing. And what's coming next for her!

We chat with indie bookstore employee and avid romance reader, Addy. What is it like working in the indie bookstore space. What are they seeing in regards to romance from both the retail side and publishing side. We also mention A LOT of books.

Loved getting to interview Bookishly Haley. We met via Instagram, but live close enough that we have gotten to meet and hug in person. This bookish space is growing and changing, it’s exciting and thrilling to be here, and it can also bring up a lot of pressure. We chat about championing indie authors and finding your crew.

Amidst the many laughs we had, we got to talk about some of our hopes and dreams for the romance world and communities in the future.

The power of book events is evident in this interview. I get to talk to Terreece M. Clarke and Devyn Sinclair. Two authors I got to know at the Smut Lovers conference. They also met at a conference JUST in April. I loved getting to know them in person and feel so lucky to have them share with you all.

My first author interview! I got the chance to speak with Sabrina about the journey from reader, to romance reader, to romance writer. A great conversation from this different perspective within the romance world.

Jess and I have a conversation about the growth of the romance world over the last 20+ years. Where it's been, where we've seen the change, where we see the need for growth. She shares the books that have influenced her over the years, and some of the authors she's following now.

I love a reader interview! Katy and I chatted about how she got into romance. What kept her connected over the years, and what she’s devoured since finding her romance passion about a year ago. We explored romantasy, contemporary romance, the diversity that now exists in the romance genre that didn't 10+ years ago.
