Rugby & Romance: With Author Tanvier Peart

This week on Page to Picture, Kim sits down with romance author Tanvier Peart, the woman doing policy work by day and absolutely wrecking our standards by night 😮‍💨📚Tanvier talks about balancing social justice work with writing Black romance that’s funny, messy, grown, and guaranteed to end in a happily ever after (non-negotiable). From The Seven Month Itch to Ella Gets the D and her latest release One Night Stand, we get into how therapy led her to romance, why she writes with pure vibes and zero outlines, and how her characters basically run the show.We dive deep into One Night Stand—a friends-to-lovers, rugby rom-com featuring a cinnamon-roll playboy, STEM rep, slow-burn tension, and yes… a gym scene that required very specific physics research 👀🏋🏽‍♀️. Tanvier also spills on writing spice, unhinged Google searches, playlists that match the book beat-for-beat, dream casting, and why rugby men deserve way more romance spotlight.Plus: future Buffalo Steel books, single dads, virgin MMCs, Vegas chaos, an upcoming mafia rom-com, and a rapid-fire round that gets brutally honest about tropes, tension, and emotional damage.If you love romance with humor, heart, heat, and characters who feel a little too real, this episode is for you. 🎧🔥
