Spicy Summer: Lord Lightning

Lord Lightning: He's a LEO! This is the first episode in our August Spicy Summer series, where we look at the romance genre and put it under the microscope to see to what degree it deserves the reputation it has online and in the wider world. This year host Amanda Stephens is talking to four non-romance readers one month after they read an assigned romance novel to see if she can challenge their opinions or even change their mind about the genre. This week, we're talking about Lord Lightning with Eric Gao. We discuss how this book really embodies many of the tropes and ideas people imagine when they think of romance... with an extra large helping of astrology.
