Episode 87: Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon

Welcome lovely listeners! Today, we’re discussing Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon. We got an ARC through NetGalley and we’re covering it early for scheduling reasons. Marketed as a playful romantic comedy featuring dueling delis, fake dating, a shockingly awesome ex, and juuuuuust the right amount of amnesia. Having read the book, we can confirm that it’s the perfect amount of amnesia. Also discussed: Cameo as a concept (Thank you Thoren Bradley for the birthday wishes!), documentaries that make you think, and the Ghostbusters empire.

Episode 86: Dust Storm by Maggie Gates

The ladies are getting in on the single dad action (...what?) with Dust Storm by Maggie Gates. Christian Griffin, widower with two adorable daughters, took over operations from his father, but business doesn’t always go as planned, and they’ve hit a rough patch. City slicker Cassandra Parker is in hot water at work, so she’s being exiled to the sprawling Texas ranch to develop a long-term plan for the business. These two butt heads immediately, even though they’re both attracted to each other from jump street. Also discussed: Mr. Veronica’s opinion in Toys for Twats (more on Patreon!), why dress codes are intrinsically sexist, and the finer points of Topo Chico.

Episode 85: Kilt Trip by Alexandra Kiley

Hiya, wee lads and lasses! We landed an ARC of https://www.threads.net/@akileybooks debut novel Kilt Trip, which means you get to listen to Rae’s Scottish accent. When Addie Macrae’s wanderlust leads her to her homeland—specifically, Edinburgh—to consult with a family-run travel company, she’s thrown face-first into ghosts from her past. And the person leading that charge? Logan… the heir to the travel company. Who she accidentally already met when she was doing recon, which doesn’t exactly lead to the best start of their working relationship. Can they get past their rivalry in order to save the company? Also discussed: books we have no intention of reading, our awful weeks, and how gorgeous Scotland is.

Welcome to a BONUS episode of CLBC! We landed an ARC of Lauren Morrill’s new book More Than a Feeling and we couldn’t not tell you about it. Due to technical difficulties, this episode is releasing a week after the release of the book, but we’re incredibly honored to have had the opportunity to interview Lauren and hear all about her plans for the Cardinal Springs series. More Than a Feeling introduces us to the McBride family, where we follow Grace as she devises a plan to save the town’s library from state funding cuts. Decker, her oldest brother’s best friend, is back in their small hometown to lay low for the summer—but he doesn’t even make it through one night before he’s decking someone in a bar. As his punishment, law enforcement gives him community service… with Grace. Can Grace navigate her ire for Decker? Or will his charm win her over? Also discussed: sportsball, Lauren and Veronica’s Swiftie designations, and the actual song, More Than a Feeling by Boston.

Episode 84: Never Tell by Stacey Abrams

Our second pick for Black History Month is Never Tell by Stacey Abrams (writing as Selena Montgomery). Never Tell is a romantic suspense initially published in 2004, but republished in 2023 by St. Martin’s Griffin. Dr. Erin Abbott is a professor in New Orleans, Louisiana, who finds herself at the center of a serial killer’s tangled web—and journalist Gabriel Moss is the only person taking her seriously. Can Erin and Gabriel figure out who’s killing people in Erin’s orbit before they get to Erin? Also discussed: the return of Jon Stewart, wearing heels while chasing dinosaurs, and how we’ve forgotten how to do our own show.

We’re back with the first book review of the year, which just so happens to be the viral sensation Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage. Emmy Ryder is coming home to Meadowlark, Wyoming after an injury… that her family doesn’t actually know about. She’s helping out around the family ranch and winds up spending more time with her brother’s best friend, Luke Brooks. Emmy thinks Luke is an irresponsible playboy. But is he? Emmy’s going to find out. Is the book overhyped? Absolutely not—totally worth the hype. Is it hot as they say? Absolutely yes—also totally worth the hype.

It’s spooky season, bishes! We’re doing two spook-ish books this year and the first one is Bad Luck Charm by Julie Johnson. When an animal sacrifice is left outside her beloved aunt’s shop in Salem, Massachusetts, Gwendolyn Goode is expectedly shocked.

Well, Emily reluctantly agrees—not to find a husband, but to promote her homemade jewelry line. The only snag in her plan is that one of the field producers is none other than the man who epically ghosted her seven years ago. It’s fine—she can dress for revenge. What could possibly go wrong? Also discussed: 90s nostalgia, including fashion that no one wants back and the beginnings of reality television.

When 26-year-old workaholic restaurateur, Pippin, discovers that her twin sister is getting married to a practical stranger and her beloved home/business is going to be put on the market, she struggles to make sense of what life is in store for her. With the help of her newly relocated best friend Toby (who she does NOT have sexy feelings for, thank you very much), she has five months to pull off a wedding, sell her business, and keep herself from not spiraling. Seems easy… Also discussed, how long is TOO long, we skip the f— right over bright spots, and pimp our most recent commentary on Freevee’s Puppy Love.

Episode 70: The Worst Darcy by Robyn Gynne

We delve into the wonderful world of Jane Austen reenactments with Robyn Gynne’s, The Worst Darcy. Set in a small tourist town named Austen, the local inhabitants spend one month a year celebrating all things Jane A. This year, being the pinnacle of pieces, Pride and Prejudice, newly relocated town librarian and “Keaton’s mom,” Vivian, feels that this is her opportunity to make a name for herself in the community by playing Lizzy. Metalhead and all around town ‘bad boy,’ Brodie Bishop, is strong-armed into being her Darcy. When opposites attract, will these two deny the chemistry off stage, or will Vivian prove to be truly an “obstinate, headstrong girl” and choose to take a chance? Also discussed: Red, White, and Royal Blue, the corn song (how did Rae not know about it?), and an amazing Jane Austen festival in Bath.

Special thanks to all Ohio voters who voted in the August 8 special election!

Episode 65: Piece of Cake by Mary Hollis Huddleston & Asher Fogle Paul

Today your favorite foul-mouthed ladies are joined by Piece of Cake authors Mary Hollis Huddleston & Asher Fogle Paul. We got an ARC of Piece of Cake, which comes out June 20. Claire Sommers (the villain from Without a Hitch) is rebuilding her life after basically ripping it apart in the last book. She’s paired with a Brooklyn influencer, Dom, to try to save the magazine she works for, Piece of Cake. Will they accomplish their goal in saving the magazine? Will Claire admit she has feelings for Dom? Also discussed: Rae has Barenaked Ladies tickets she can’t use, Veronica got scammed in a desperate attempt to get Taylor Swift tickets, and really different sex toys.

Up Next: Tides of Passion by Tracy Sumner (featuring an interview with Ms. Sumner, herself!)

Page 2 Screen Ep. 16 - Netflix's Queen Charlotte

The Ladies are here to discuss the 22-23 Bridgerton offering, Queen Charlotte! Our Page 2 Screen episode at this time can best be described as "Storytime with Veronica" as she recites the tale of Queen Charlotte and King George. What happens when Charlotte doesn't go over that wall? This is her story. While season 2 of Bridgerton left Rae ragin' nic cagin', Veronica, absolutely loved this addition to the saga...so YAYE!

The two of them enter a fake friendship situation to help them both out: he gets his image smoothed out and she gets hers a little dirty.

But the shining star is Rowena with her iron spine who brings the brutal Damien to his knees. It’s a lengthy book, but it *moves*, dear reader. Also discussed: our new T-shirt design, Veronica’s upcoming book baby, and people who are (unfairly) getting hotter with age.

Episode 60: The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare

The ladies are less ranty while talking about The Wallflower Wager by the one and only Tessa Dare. How could they not be? It’s TESSA DARE. Lady Penelope Campion is a borderline-spinster who is running out of options. Her brother wants Penny to leave her Mayfair home and hoard of rescue animals to live with him and his family, but that’s the last thing she wants. Enter: Gabriel Duke, her new next door neighbor who is essentially flipping his house and is banking on a bonafide Lady living next door to maximize the resale value. He offers to help her meet the demands made of Penny for her to keep her house—but of course, the lines get blurry quick. Also discussed: Veronica visits a rage room, stupid double standards, and describing Disney movies in a couple of sentences.

Episode 48: Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris

It’s spooky season, friends, and we are ready for it! Join us in celebrating the festival of Samhain with our borderline raucous review of Dead to the World, by Charlaine Harris—otherwise known as True Blood, Season 4. When sexy vampire Eric Northman loses his memory, and with her brother, Jason, missing, Sookie Stackhouse must ignore her New Years resolution (to not get beaten up) and put her life on the line to help the supes of Bon Temps. Also discussed: the library is magical, 965 Million is a big number, please don’t put your hand down the back of our pants, and we—as Americans—don’t automatically fuck British people as soon as you hit or shores (although it’s not out of the question). Also, Rae hops in her time machine to talk to 2004 Rae, so enjoy that.
