In this episode of Romance at a Glance, hosts Bridget and Shani interview Bianca Gillam, debut author of Bad Publicity, which follows senior book publicist Andy and her tumultuous, enemy-to-lovers relationship with author Jack Carlson. The discussion dives into Bianca's transition from romance editor to author, the challenges of separating the editorial voice while writing, and the process of making her protagonist competent in her job. The novel also touches on themes of grief, and Bianca shares how her own experiences with loss influenced the book.

While the rest of the world may adore him and his perfect hair, Andie has despised this man ever since he ruined her life five years ago. But to keep her job, she must execute a flawless campaign. To make matters worse, the centerpiece of this career-defining campaign is a book tour. For an entire month, Andie will have to travel across Europe with the man she’d secretly love to hit with her car. But she refuses to lose this opportunity, especially not because of him. One month on tour with Jack Carlson, visiting some of the most romantic spots in Europe. Deep breath. She can do this.ABOUT BIANCA GILLAMBianca Gillam is a London-based author and armchair expert on ’80s and ’90s rom-coms whose poetry has been published in a variety of publications.

In this episode of Romance at a Glance, hosts Bridget and Shani tackle the alarming issue of book bans alongside guest Sabrina Baêta, Senior Program Manager of Freedom to Read at PEN America. The episode delves into the growing incidence of book bans in K-12 public schools, with a particular focus on romance novels and LGBTQIA+ literature. The hosts discuss the motivations behind these bans, which often target minority communities and aim to censor literature that addresses sexual experiences, violence, and abuse. Sabrina shares alarming statistics about the books being banned and the increasing trend of 'sideways censorship.' The conversation also highlights the role of Penn America in combating these bans and emphasizes the importance of community action to support librarians and educators. The episode concludes with practical advice for listeners on how to get involved and make a difference in their local communities against the backdrop of this critical issue.About the growing book bans across AmericaBans Sweep Across Reading Levels and Genres, Targeting Titles about People of Color, Race, Racism, and LGBTQ+ Subjects at High Rates.Analysis Shows Stories about Disabled People, Immigrants, Social Activism and Bullying Are Targets and Debunks Exaggerated Claims about Explicit Sex in Books. (NEW YORK)-- The removal of books focused on people of color, race and racism, and LGBTQ+ subjects from public schools continues as part of a concerted and dangerous campaign nationwide, according to new analysis of thousands of banned titles by PEN America. These topics are highly targeted among banned books across genres and reading levels—fiction, history, biography, memoir, even picture books. Of the 4,218 unique banned titles in the 2023-2024 school year, 1,534 or 36% featured fictional characters or real people of color. In analyzing banned history and biography titles alone, PEN America found 44% featured people of color, with 26% of banned historical and biographical titles specifically featuring Black people. The comprehensive analysis is based on PEN America’s documentation of the more than 10,000 instances of book bans nationwide, as school districts banned many of the same titles. The movement to ban books originated in a coordinated network of groups that also largely espouses white supremacist and Christian nationalist ideology. The targeting of banned titles featuring people of color is happening at the same time as the population of students of color has reached an all time high—now more than half of all American schoolchildren. This is especially concerning as equity and diversity initiatives seeking to achieve more equal representation in schools are under attack by government at all levels. Coupled with the banning of books about communities of color is the removal of titles about the LGBTQ+ community. During the 2023-2024 school year, 29% of all banned titles included LGBTQ+ characters, people, or themes. Of the banned titles with LGBTQ+ characters or people, 28% specifically featured trans and/or genderqueer characters. Also, more than half of the banned books with LGBTQ+ people or...

We had the absolute pleasure of interviewing historial romance author Eloisa James this week! Her latest book Hardly a Gentleman is out now. By day she's a fancy Professor at Fordham University, and by night she's an even fancier historical romance lead author! We chatted all about her very impressive educational background, creating heros you love and heroines you want to be your best friend, how she writes and researches her stories, how to stay engaged in new stories and banter after writing so long and more. Bridget surprised Shani with this interview and couldn't be prouder of herself :) About Eloisa JamesI'm a writer, a professor, a mother - and a wife. My husband Alessandro is Italian, born in Florence. We spend the lazy summer months with his mother and sister in Italy. It always strikes me as a huge irony that as a romance writer I find myself married to a knight, a cavaliere, as you say in Italian.I write novels as Eloisa James and Mary Bly, but when I’m not writing, I'm Professor Bly, who teaches Shakespeare at Fordham. It's rather like having two lives. The other day I bought a delicious pink suit to tape a television segment on romance; I'll never wear that suit to teach in, nor even to give a paper at the Shakespeare Association of America conference. It's like being Superman, with power suits for both lives. Yet the literature professor in me certainly plays into my romances. The Taming of the Duke (April 2006) has obvious Shakespearean resonances, as do many of my novels. I often weave early modern poetry into my work; the same novel might contain bits of Catullus, Shakespeare and anonymous bawdy ballads from the 16th century.After graduating from Harvard University, Eloisa got an M.Phil. from Oxford University, a Ph.D. from Yale and eventually became a Shakespeare professor, publishing an academic book with Oxford University Press. Her "double life” as a professor and romance writer is a source of fascination to the media and her readers. In her professorial guise, she's written a New York Times op-ed defending romance, as well as articles published everywhere from women's magazines such as More to writers' journals such as the Romance Writers' Report.Eloisa has published over 30 historical romances, many of which have hit the bestseller lists. She also wrote a bestselling memoir, Paris in Love, as well as a contemporary novel, Lizzie and Dante. Her books are published in 28 languages and 30 countries, from Slovakia to Sweden. Worldwide, she has approximately 7 million books published in print or electronically. She lives in New York City and Florence, Italy.About Hardly a GentlemanBook 2 in the Accidental Brides Series, a romance about a forced marriage between a feisty heroine and a Scottish laird… neither of whom have plans to marry, let alone fall in love.Desperate after her Season comes to a spectacularly disastrous end, the Honorable Miss Clara Vetry jumps into a carriage hired to take a housekeeper to Scotland.The laird of Castle CaerLaven...

Bridget and Shani hang out with bookstagrammer Amanda from&nbsp;@AmandasBookClub_, and things immediately go off the rails in the best way possible. Amanda, a self-proclaimed “dummy reader”, aka here for a good time, not a grammar check, is deep in her fantasy romance era—dragons, vampires, Omegaverse, you name it. The trio dives into book club disasters (Viola Davis’ biography? Not the smut they signed up for), romance tropes that own their souls, and The Summer I Turned Pretty drama (Belly is the problem, actually). Also on the table: Loch Ness Monster smut, an absurd amount of orc fluids, and the eternal battle of Stefan vs. Damon. It’s chaotic, it’s hilarious, and it’s the kind of unhinged book chat every romance reader needs in their lifeWe decided: Romance books don't need to be serious; let's embrace the joy of ridiculous plots like vampires and aliens, shall we? Being a mood reader means I might dive into a rom-com one day and a dark fantasy the next, because who needs consistency? We can all agree that if a book has dragons or shifters, it's an instant win in the fun department, right? It's a wild ride trying to escape reading slumps, but sometimes you just gotta reread your faves and hope for the best. Why read serious biographies when you can enjoy a rom-com about being abducted by aliens? Life's too short for boring books! The absurdity of love triangles in books is just that: absurd, but somehow we keep falling for them, don't we? 5 star Audiobook Biography Recommendations Kevin Hart - I Can't Make This Up Tina Fey - BossyPants Amy Poehler - Yes, Please Trevor Noah - Born a Crime Romance and Fantasy novels we recommend!

Enjoy this episode with a delightful guest-host Tre, our new friend from bookstagram, who is here to talk about Kimberly Lemming's latest release, I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com! Tre loves monster romances, and like many of us, discovered Kimberly's books with That Time I Got Drunk and Saved A Demon. Things we loved about this book: We chatted through our favorite characters of this alien world, how funny the world-building is. That the romance is in Dory's POV, which allowed us to discover the alien planet at the same time as Dory. How much we love Toto the lion, his nonchalance, his confidence, his wingman skills. How Dory's intelligence and PhD help us as readers understand the world and solve the main conflict of the book (YAY)The aliens in charge being birds that have tech integrated with themselves, and that they did the LEAST research possible in the process. Tamagochi - the involvement of the "love" meter and how the other characters reacted to the information as it came. How all of Dory's quirks are the things that Loc and Sol love about her the most. At the end we talked about some other books Tre is excited about in 2025. Oathbound by Tracy Deonn! Tre is hosting a midnight release party in Atlanta. Our Vicious Oaths by N.E.

Dive into the hilarious world of alien romance! We made new best friends with our incredibly funny new friend and the author of I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com, Kimberly Lemming! What follows is a riveting discussion with hosts Bridget and Shani gushing over Kimberly Lemming, delving into her latest literary creation, "I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com", book 1 of her new series Cosmic Chaos, and making alien/fantasy romance fun!Synopsis: A hilarious and sexy romance about a woman who gets dropped on a strange planet only to fall for not one, but two, aliens, from the author of&nbsp;I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf.Takeaways: In this episode, we discussed the delightful intricacies of Kimberly Lemming's latest book, which is titled 'I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom Com', and how it uniquely blends humor with romance and fantasy elements. We talked about the importance of the protagonist's intelligence, particularly as a wildlife biologist, which is a pivotal trait that influences the narrative and ultimately aids in resolving the central conflict. Throughout our conversation, we explored the concept of alien romance, highlighting how the characters navigate their relationships amidst bizarre circumstances. We touched upon the creative process behind the book's cover art, discussing how the illustrator captures the essence and emotions of the characters, making the visual representation align closely with the narrative's playful and adventurous spirit. An engaging aspect of our discussion was the comedic approach to traditional romance tropes, as the alien characters attempt to decipher human courtship rituals, leading to humorous misunderstandings and scenarios that enrich the story. Lastly, we celebrated the significance of independent authorship and the evolving landscape of publishing, particularly how unconventional titles and narratives are gaining traction and recognition in the literary world.

It's 2025 and we're starting the year with a Billionaire romance! Manifestation anyone? We chose Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher. This is book 1 of the new Lakefront Billionaires series. Bridget previously read Asher's Dreamland Billionaires series and enjoyed it, so we thought we were safe choosing her new series. HOW WRONG WE WERE! Not only was this book marketed as a childhood enemies-to-lovers, when it is, in fact, a second-chance romance (not our cup of tea), but it was wayyyyyy too long! Like a solid 100-200 pages too long! We get into all the details including a review of the audiobook from Shani, a plot review and deep-dive, a ranking of the main MCs, and a ranking of the sexy times!

We Read This Terrible Book So You Don’t Have To: A Review of Pen Pal by J.T. GeissingerRarely do books leave you feeling this bewildered. Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger tries to be an edgy, dark romance but ends up being a chaotic blend of clichés, forced angst, and questionable plot twists. Right from the start, it’s clear that something doesn’t quite add up — and unfortunately, that vibe never improves.The premise is interesting enough: a grieving widow starts receiving letters from an anonymous admirer, and their correspondence quickly becomes intense. But rather than diving into a suspenseful, engaging story, the book takes wild turns that feel more like attempts to shock than to develop a coherent plot. The romance itself lacks depth, and instead of chemistry, we’re served a strange mix of over-the-top declarations and contrived drama that often leaves you rolling your eyes.Character motivations are poorly developed, and the plot holes are glaring. The writing occasionally shows promise, but even Geissinger’s usual knack for emotional depth feels muddled here. The twist, which should have been a major reveal, feels less like a revelation and more like a desperate attempt to salvage the story’s lack of structure.If you’re looking for a dark romance with intensity and genuine suspense, Pen Pal might just leave you disappointed. Save yourself the frustration — we read this one so you don’t have to. ******Affiliates!

In a super fun chat with romance author Rosie Danan, she shared a bit about her writing journey, and honestly, it was like catching up with a friend over coffee! Rosie talked about how living in England sparked some new ideas for her stories, but also how the pandemic really shaped her latest book. She said there's a big theme of losing control in it, which totally reflects how she felt during that time—relatable, right?We also got into how she’s always trying to up the "sexy" in her books by adding fresh, unexpected elements. She's all about blending the magic and real world in a way that just clicks, like it’s totally normal for wild, magical things to happen.Rosie’s working on setting goals and finding a routine that lets her really focus on writing, and she’s even debating whether or not she wants to go full-time as an author. It was so cool to hear how she's balancing everything while still figuring out her next steps! ******Affiliates!

Y'all we have an excellent interview and conversation for you today on the podcast with author B.K. Borison.  Her new book, Business Casual, book 4 of the Lovelight Farms series, is out now (!) and is a lovely, cozy, sweet contemporary romance. We chatted about her journey from writing book number 1 of the series as an indie author, to completing the series as a traditional author with  Berkeley.B.K. was open with us about how bittersweet the end of this series is for her, how quickly her life as a writer changed over the last three years, and being excited for future books she's finished writing that have yet to be published.  B.K. shared the vulnerability of sharing her first novel with her husband, friends, and the world. How funny it is when her friends and family "discover" that she is an actual published author with books on the shelf at Target, Barnes and Noble, and indie bookstores. Her hilarious battle with the Target bookseller at her local Target when she's trying to sign the books. Bridget rants yet again about how annoying it is that genres that bring joy don't win as many awards. B.K. shares what she can about her future series, and whether she'd ever revisit the Lovelight Farms world, hint, it's cracked open and there are breadcrumbs to find! You can check out Business Casual here!Connect with B.K. on Instagram and Tiktok***If you want a hit of that sweet Magic Mind productivity juice, you can go to magicmind.com/romanceataglance and use code Romanceataglance20 ******Affiliates!

Bridget's favorite book in season 3! You guys this book is everything we wanted a summer quickie to be! Fun, sexy, charming, complex yet quick to read, and with hot, hot sex scenes. Shani took the week off (no audiobook on this one), so we had a wonderful guest host, Ann! Ann is Bridget’s older sister and was the first person to give her a romance novel. Since then they have read aloud dozens of novels on cross-country road trips and loved to squeal over the feels and the sex scenes alike. Enjoy their hilarious sisterly banter and ability to finish each other’s sentences as we talk about this excellent book!***Buy Heat Stroke  ******Affiliates!

The Bridgerton review continues! Anthony can still get it. We’re back with part 2 of our Bridgerton review and we are raring to go. We talk about the upcoming Bridgerton prequel, Penelope’s future, “My Lord” vs. “Daddy”, predictions for future seasons, THE MOM SCENE, and the questionable editing choices. There’s also much to get into with the, maybe too slow, slow burn? Though we may or may not giggle when it comes to Lord Bridgerton. He could get it regardless. Don’t even get us started on what he COULD have been doing in that bathtub scene. ******Affiliates!

We certainly did, and a big shout out to Julia for sending us signed copies of her books :) What a delight.Shani was losing her ever-loving mind before this interview because Julia Quinn is one of her favorite authors of all time, we reviewed The Duke and I on the podcast, and she gave a great interview!This interview was so wonderful, and Julia was so generous with her time we had too much for the episode!

We are so excited to have our first-ever repeat interview with the delightful, Evie Dunmore! Not only is she such a smokeshow (sorry Evie it had to be said!), but her debut novel, Bringing Down the Duke, was one of our favorite books so far on the podcast. And it felt so poetic to have her back for the 4th and final book in the series, The Gentleman's Gambit. If you missed our first Evie interview, check it out here! Some major highlights:The bittersweet feeling of finishing the seriesThe difference between writing the first book for the love of it, versus writing the final book with the commercial process involvedHow writing this love story wasn't as planned out as much as the first three storiesWriting in her non-dominant language and how that leads to her structuring her sentences differently. Evie shares what draws her to historical romance vs contemporary romanceWhy Catriona's happy ending with Elias was so important to her If you wanna catch more Evie you can head to her website, or chat with her on Insta! Grab a copy of the series here  ******Affiliates!

Y'all it's time for another round-up of all things romance in this month's RAAG on Romance. Bridget talks about the books that she's been reading (thank you to all publishers for the copies!), Shani and Bridget talk about what TV they have been binging, and generally laugh and play their way through the episode. Special Thank You to Anna Lowe for sponsoring today's episode. Anna Lowe is the author of Tempting the Sheriff, a steamy, suspenseful paranormal romance featuring a female, fox shifter as Robin Hood and a dragon/knight as the new sheriff of Nottingham. The Sherwood Forest Shifters series combines the action-packed romance of Outlander with the humor of The Princess Bride for a fresh new twist on a classic, with brave knights, cunning bandits, fire-breathing dragons, and forbidden lovers.Shows and Books we talk about in this month's RAAG on RomanceGen V on Amazon Prime - Highly recommend, but trigger warning - LOTS of violence, gratuitous and frankly weird sex, and trauma of ALL kinds throughout. Business Proposal - Korean Drama - The main character pretends to be someone else and ends up with a billionaire, who she works for! Shani rewatched it and still loves itMy Fault or Mia Culpa - Spanish romance movie, based on a Wattpad turned trilogy.  Bridget watched a liked it! Had a new step-siblings fall-in-love taboo element. Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros - The hype is worth it. This series is so good. Disclaimer - it is not finished. At least one more book coming next year. I burned right through books 1 and 2. If You’ll Have Me by Eunnie -a sapphic graphic novel - legitimately cried a little at the end with how sweet and heartwarming it is. Fans of Heartstopper jump on this.The Ladies Rewrite the Rules by Suzanne Allain - author of Mr. Malcolm’s List. - list of eligible rich women widows etc turn the tables and use it for their benefit.  Comes out January 9th, 2024Fire in the Flesh by Jennifer L Armentrout – if you missed our interview, make sure you check it out! Plus, we didn’t even talk about her series Blood and Ash being optioned by Amazon Studios.  I burned right through it.******Join our book club on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance  we meet 1x per month to chat books, finances, movies, and catch up!  Come hang out with us!******Affiliates!

New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Armentrout is on the podcast to talk about her latest YA Fantasy The Fire in the Flesh! This is book 3 in the Flesh and Fire Series. And you may not know, based on how wildly popular this and her Blood and Ash series have been in the last few years, but she started as a Romance author! Jennifer has written AND published an astonishing 70 novels in 13 years! We talked all about how her ADHD hyper-focus was a helper in writing for a long time until it "turned on her" and she had to figure out how to manage it.Her process for creating and discovering the world-building of her fantasy creations, and how her editors have bibles to make sure that everything in the world-building fits together and makes sense.-How Jennifer Armentrout builds a badass heroine that is still relatable with their personality and mental health struggles. Jennifer uses her own psychology background to show how depression and anxiety are not the sum of who her characters are.Why certain books are classified as YA Fantasy vs Adult Fantasy vs New Adult FantasyHow the romance fantasy  genre has evolved over the years with Bridget dropping some of her favorite fantasy authors Anne McCaffrey, Tamora Pierce, Mercedes LackeyBridget asked Jennifer how she builds that tension, push-and-pull, and excitement between the two characters. Jennifer talks about how she loves to read that tension, and how she always wants to feel like she wants readers to just say, "Just kiss already!'Jennifer shared how if the banter isn't flowing while she's writing, then it shows that something else probably isn't flowing in the story.We chatted through Jennifer Armentrout's favorite shows to watch in the background while writing including Buffy, Supernatural, Angel, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, and Dead Files.How she was watching Autopsy: Life and Death during a video interview! She and Shani bonded over their love of that show.What is Jennifer Armentrout reading? She shares how she heads to historical romance to keep the books she is reading from influencing her writing.And also, how reading a book in a similar genre to hers can make her feel like a bad author when she reads an excellent book.Her example of an excellent unicorn author is Hurricane Wars by Thea GuanzonApollyCon conventionJennifer Armentrout  talked about how and why she started ApollyCon, how it is run now, and why she is sad a lot of other conventions haven't come back after COVID-19.How the convention has gone from a day of signings to 3 full days of events, to now almost 4 full days of events!She talks about how even though the events are sold out, the hotels charge so much that she isn't actually making any money from it, but how it is worth it to bring authors and readers together. And give authors a chance to be around each other. Connect with Jennifer on InstagramGrab  a copy of her latest YA Fantasy The Fire in the Flesh******Join our book club on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance  we meet 1x per month to chat books, finances, movies, and catch up!  Come hang out with us!******Affiliates!

Seriously?! Like have you seen the romance inside this romance novel? We read Lassiter by J.R. Ward, book 21 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. If you didn't know, we re-read books 1-11 on the podcast when we first started releasing books and... WTF IS HAPPENING?! We were not super optimistic going into the book, and we're sorry to say that we HATED IT! Come hang out with us as we discuss confounding things such as:  The romance taking a backseat to everything elseLassiter being TOTALLY different in this bookThe timeline! We've said it before in our previous reviews of books 1 -11 but the timeline in these books makes no sense. It legit said it was 3 years since Lassiter dropped down? LIKE why put a number on it?Wrath IYKYK if not, be prepared for spoilersDevina - but why connect these series?ANYWAYS, you can hear our righteous fury as we discuss all this and why we are sad to say, this is our last BDB forever.  ALSO _ we wax poetic about Magic Mind again (BC DUH!) so if you want in on that sweet sweet juice that is helping us stress less and be WAY more productive, use our code ROMANCE20.  **************Wanna watch a movie with us?

So if you’re in the mood for a cute, funny, banter-filled rom-com, make sure you check these books out!Emma was such a fun guest. We talked about what chickens Bridget should get, BTW I ended up with 2 Australorp, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 2 Wyndottes, Emma’s process of writing Chick Magnet, why she feels setting is so important, and her favorite part about her writing.Make sure you check out Emma’s writing, and Emma thank you for being with us.Emma’s IG if you want to drop her a line!Thank you to Magic Mind for hooking us up with the drink that keeps our minds sharp and has helped us come back from our hiatus and burnout!

We wanna thank our Patron Alesia for recommending this book to us! Always fun to get into some books with our friends. We had fun reading Red by S.j. Sanders.Also, make sure you don’t miss our hilarious chat about our sponsor Magic Mind. This go-go juice as Shani calls it has really helped us get our groove back after our hiatus! You can get 20% off with our code ROMANCE20 or go to Magic Mind and check it out!Y’all this book is a dystopian, why choose, little red riding hood retelling, fantasy, alien romance. There is a LOT of plot to cover in the book. And it felt like when you have aliens who mate in triads with 2 peens each, you really should just get to the smut? Especially since it started out with some mutual cuddling and wet dreams, and then things slowed down a bit. The entire 3rd act really felt like it should have been a sequel to the first book, vs complicating the story.That said, we oddly enjoyed reading this potato chip book. 3 stars all around and we definitely had fun chatting about it on our podcast review.If you wanna catch Red by S.J. Sanders, read it on KU now.

!! Join our monthly book club on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance !! Y'all, we agree pretty frequently on this podcast on whether a book is good or not. We may not rate exactly the same, but rarely does a book come around that we are completely divided on!We're still on our Why Choose bullshit, and came across Pack Darling by Lola Rock, which had VERY high reviews on Audible. It is a why choose, omegaverse book, and the premise was SUPER interesting. Shani did not read book 2. Bridget did. (NATURALLY BC NO SHELF CONTROL) If you want spoilers for book 2, stick around for Bridget explaining the entire book long grovel!Check out Pack Darling here.
