  • Micro Tropes and Marvels Wolverine
    Aug 20 2024

    In this episode we explore the micro tropes of

    • PTSD
    • The reluctant mentor/father
    • Always a Brides maid never a Bride MMC style

    And we talk about why Marvels Wolverine should be a romance novel MMC along with giving some of my favorite examples so we can compare and contrast how they match the trope.

  • The Death Striker's Partner by Millie Lowell
    Aug 10 2024

    A summary and review of the first book in Millie Lowell's Operation Colonize series featuring Giant Snake Aliens! The Male main character (MMC) is a sad boi despite being a badass, my favorite!

    This book sets up the series and is great but leaves you wanting more of the main couple good thing there are two follow up shorts Blissfully Bonded and Bonded Bliss!
