Here’s what people are saying
“As the name suggestions, this podcast is alllll about steamy romance novels. Hosts Erin and Melody live across the country from each other, but enjoying a saucy book is what brings them – and now you! — together. Join them as they giggle their way through books that'll have you breaking out the smelling salts, whether it's historical fic or a modern love story.”

“Before streaming, [networks] would ask the question, ‘Would this be universally consumed?’ So action and thrillers got a lot of adaptations. And that’s pure misogyny — that … something that men will like is considered ‘universal.’ But now there’s a lot more niche interests being represented, and romance is one of them. I think we’re also learning that romance is a lot more universally consumed than people would think. It’s roughly 25 percent of all fiction books sold.” -Melody Carlisle

“…I’m thrilled that they’re discussing romance novels because they do it in such an open-hearted, open-minded, all-inclusive way. Both Melody and Erin are firmly of the philosophy of “you do you.” There is zero judgment in any of the things that turn the characters on in these books, and what might turn the readers on. It’s a very liberated, feminist approach to sexuality that comes across as honest and refreshing, and not at all tawdry or illicit. Melody, a former sex educator, in particular brings a healthy, consensual approach to sex that is just plain empowering.”

“Melody and Erin, the two best friends, are such a delight. Their views and their expectations regarding romance are totally refreshing. The ladies are charming, funny, witty …and sometimes a little inappropriate (I say that in jest – their inappropriateness is what makes them hilarious). Erin and Melody are the truest of people. They are so totally comfortable with who they are as readers. They respect the opinions of others. They love diversity. And although they totally trashed one of your favorite books (Yea – Erin and Melody…I’m a little salty re: The Wall of Winnipeg….it’s fine…I’m fine….we’re all friends here), I still come back for more. Without them, I don’t think I would have ever been introduced to books by Sarah J Maas or Sarah Maclean or Tessa Dare. I would never have been introduced to Lady Loves and most importantly, I would never had read some books that were really, really far out of my comfort zone (yay for personal growth!)”
