  • Episode 4: Good Spirits
    Dec 12 2025

    In this episode, Amy and Sarah continue to get Christmassy with B.K. Borison's brand new release, Good Spirits. A cutesy antique shop, a curly-haired FMC and an (allegedly) Irish MMC might sound like your average romance, but this one also has time travel, magic mistletoe and a VERY unconventional pairing. Amy and Sarah found this haunting holiday romance...interesting to say the least. Grab a cuppa (or a handful of candy canes) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.

  • Episode 3: Lovelight Farms
    Nov 29 2025

    In this episode, Amy and Sarah kick off the festive season with a trip to the snowy town of Inglewild in B.K. Borison's Lovelight Farms. A struggling Christmas tree farm, a cast of (extremely attractive) small-town characters, and a fake-dating plot built on NINE YEARS of foreplay, this seasonal romance will warm you like a chestnut on an open fire. Grab a cuppa (or a peppermint mocha latte) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.

  • Episode 2: Great Big Beautiful Life
    Nov 15 2025

    In this episode, Amy and Sarah take a trip to picturesque Little Crescent Island with Emily Henry's Great Big Beautiful Life. Journalistic rivalry, a reclusive celebrity, and decades of family drama, there's more than just livelihoods at stake in this steamy romance-turned-mystery. Grab a cuppa (or iced green tea + croissant) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.
