from Reading Materials · host Corrie and Lucia

In this episode of the Reading Materials Podcast, we dive into The Bodyguard Affair by Amy Lea (published February 2026) and unpack this trope-filled romance. We share our thoughts on the fake dating dynamic—does it still work for us?—debate whether the steamy scenes hit the mark, and highlight the plot elements that felt genuinely fresh. From classic romance beats to surprising twists, this one gave us plenty to talk about.Episode Timepoints:00:00 - Intro00:30 - Life Updates05:05 - A Brief Introduction to Amy Lea07:00 - Spoiler Warning07:35 - The Blurb08:50 - Our Discussion of 'The Bodyguard Affair'47:15 - Next Time on Reading Materials48:00 - Outro
