The Power to Heal

Send us Fan MailMeghan & Nicole dive into their first official books of the podcast:  Beauty Contest Nurse by Diana Douglas and The Viking’s Chosen by Quinn Loftis.  Both feature women who have the skills and talents to heal but each story has a very different romantic direction.  The biddies kick off the episode with a toast of shots before diving right in to Meghan's book and its zany plot surrounding nurse Maria's romantic adventures in Acapulco with dashing Dick Trevor and two charming doctors.  From peculiar dental obsessions to bizarre medical conditions, prepare for giggles as we dissect the character dynamics and medical inaccuracies that had us both perplexed and amused. We explore the white savior trope, laugh at the odd phrasing, and even critique some eyebrow-raising tranquilizer prescriptions. And just when you think it couldn't get any better, we turn the page to Nicole's read for the episode, The Viking's Chosen. Get ready for a bad betrothal and magical disguises as destiny draws a Viking warrior and English Princess closer. We wrap things up with a lighthearted discussion on book cover discrepancies and award our hilarious 'Boobie Prize' of the podcast. Don't miss our romantical reminders about consent and tender gestures—because every romance aficionado knows, it's the little things that matter. Tune in for a fun, insightful, and utterly engaging episode!Please Note:  This episode contains adult content, a trigger warning and book spoilers.Meghan's Drinks in this Episode:Ratafia Shot -- Montserrat Ratafia"Scurvy Fighting" Cocktail -- lots of lemon juice & booze  Nicole's Drinks in this Episode:Limoncello Shot -- Limoncello CreamPaloma -- lime juice, grapefruit juice, Teremana Tequila Blanco, La Croix Pamplemousse Sparkling WaterSupport the showOur The Ripped Bodice Affiliate Link:  https://www.therippedbodice.com/aff/romanceontherockspodcast_26867(the best way to get your smut while supporting a fabulous women-owned business and our podcast!)Follow us on our socials:Facebook ... https://www.facebook.com/romanceontherockspodcastInstagram ... https:/www.instagram.com/romanceontherockspodcastPinterest ... https:/www.pinterest.com/romanceontherockspodcastCredits:Theme Music Created by Adam WroblewskiMain Art by PersonalisePortrait
