Slight change of plans! We got an ARC of Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto, so we pulled an audible and read that one instead. Given our background in music, this one was catnip for us. Xander and Gwen play in the same pops orchestra–although they don’t really play “together.” In fact, he doesn’t even know she’s in the orchestra until she tells him at an outside gig. When Gwen lands the promotion Xander has wanted for years, they’re forced to work together. Can they make beautiful music together or will Xander’s surly attitude keep them apart? Also discussed: Corn Daddy, the orchestra world, and the predatory practices of the music industry. (We’re so much fun.)

For her part, Amelia agrees to talk to him… and then to maybe up the ante. When life throws some curveballs at Amelia, can Ben step in to help her out? Listen to find out!

We’re diving head first into some monster romance and no one here has a single refret. Today, we’re talking about Wed to the Basilisk by Layla Fae AND you get to hear from Layla herself! Wed to the Basilisk is part of the Arranged Monster Mates series, in which humans and monsters are matched using DNA at a temple. Voss, the last surviving basilisk, is extremely skeptical that his human bride, Alina, will actually be a true mate, but this is his last chance before he descends into madness. Alina, on the other hand, is desperate to escape the clutches of a possessive d-bag who unalived her fiance. Will their match save both of their lives? Or are their differences too vast? Extra special thanks to Layla Fae for joining us. Also discussed: how Layla Fae deserves a partnership with Bad Dragon, Veronica’s new book release (massive thank you to Voice of Hel - find her on TikTok and Instagram), our new dirty sentient storytime segment.
