This week we are, again, joined by the amazing and talented, Jena Doyle - author of the Midsummer series and we are excited to be discussing the last three of this series, wrapping it all up. There are so many things to say about Samhain, Solstice, and Beltane but not enough time in a podcast episode so we hope you all read along. Here we’ll discuss the lives, love, adventures, and trials of Lex, Ivy, Carter, and Miri, as well as the very steamy, squishy sex between them all. What happened to these four in that forest in Kilwaughter years ago didn’t stay there but followed them until the end.

We’ve read fake-dating stories before but this one is between two best friends. Here we meet Laniah, a small-business owner who craves privacy and being homebound, and her BFF, Isaac, who is a sensational influencer and artist, living his best life in the limelight. When Laniah’s small-business, co-owned with her mother, begins to struggle and is close to shutting down, Isaac springs an idea that he knows would guarantee a turn-around for her business - telling the internet that they are dating. Though Laniah is worried that this would wreck their life-long friendship, she rolls with it. And even though they both start falling for each other (in a non-bff way), Laniah has a tough time accepting how she feels and is worried that her health and their relationship will be ruined if they both accept that they are in love with each other. Join us to see where they end up - or read this book with us!

Sydney is going back home to Rose Bend - pregnant and divorced - hoping to settle back into her roots and find stability in a life she once knew in this small town. Although her relationship with her parents are rocky, after the death of sister many years ago, Sydney wants to raise her baby in a familiar, warm place. But even her ex-husband doesn’t make her move easy by threatening to take their baby away by suing for full-custody. But Sydney asks for help from an old friend, Coltrane, who is a lawyer and Mayor of Rose Bend, and is more than willing to help Sydney navigate this impending suit. Even though there’s an immediate attraction and intense feelings grow between these two, Cole is haunted with his own past and struggles with falling for Sydney while still in love with his wife, who died during childbirth with their unborn son. Join us as we discuss this contemporary love story about two people finding new beginnings while healing from their pasts.

Friends! MMF ftw. Holy moly - before you listen to this episode, please read/listen to this book first - it was so good. This is our first MMF and different from other why-choose stories we’ve reviewed because there is hot-ass MM action! Here we meet Nathan, who’s on his way to be with his family for the holidays until the snowy mountains of California makes him crash his car. But no need to worry - he is rescued by a logger-couple, who not only rescues and cares for him, but they also can’t help but to be interested in him in other ways. Married couple Morgan and Fox have loved each other for over twenty years and are looking for a third person to join their relationship. While Nathan shows interest as well, he battles a little internally about who he really is when it comes to falling for a married logger-woman and, also, falling for her lumberjack husband. Seriously, join us for this juicy one.

Oh how we love the fake dating trope and this one did not disappoint. Paisley’s family sucks. She’s not only been invited to her little sister’s wedding but she’s also the maid of honor. The catch: little sister is marrying Paisely’s ex. During the bachelorette party, dazzled with light-up penis party favors, she runs into an old college frenemy, whom she once shared a steamy, hot kiss with, Klein. Aspiring writer Klein is smart and funny, and has never gotten over Paisley. So when their paths cross again and they each find themselves in need of each other, they agree to fake date each other on the terms that Paisley helps Klein market his debut novel and Klein plays loving boyfriend at her sister and ex-boyfriend’s island wedding. Join us in this fun story of two people who were serendipitously pulled together and though they are live-streaming this fake love story, one can’t help but wonder if their relationship is really fake at all.
