S05.03: Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas: A Professional Driver on a Closed Course

It’s official! Sarah has broken the glass and taken Marrying Winterborne out of the vault and she has exactly as much to say about it as you expect! We’re talking perfect heroes, heroines who deserve to be revered, brilliant writers and plots that require the kind of skill you only get with Lisa Kleypas.

An absolute king.Thanks to Lucy Leroux, author of Making Her His, and Emjoy for sponsoring the episode.
