In the third episode of Season Six we continue our individual six degrees of separation to lead us back to a joint book in the final episode. This week Jessica's choice was Honeysuckles by ⁠January Rayne⁠ and Emma's choice was Fiasco by ⁠Constance Fay. Click on the author names for links to their website or for details of further books in the series and additional work.

There will be some small plot point spoilers in our discussion of the book but we always try to warn you so you can skip ahead. As always with romance, we know there is going to be a HEA and our episodes aim to share the joy we take in following the characters on their journey towards it and prompt conversations exploring why SFF romance is so fantastic.

These are adult romances, so warning for explicit language and please check content/trigger warnings for the book before listening if there are topics that you might find upsetting to hear about. We hope the title of this episode will alert readers that this is one of our more explicit episodes too!

You can find us on social media @SFFRomCast: https://linktr.ee/SFFRomCast

We're still discussing adult books (though we'll leave the specifics as a surprise) but please carefully check the content and trigger warnings for each book on the authors website or Goodreads pages as some topics might be upsetting for some individuals. Additional warnings too for explicit language and a few spoilers, we tried to keep them as minimal as possible.

In the final episode of Season Two, we're talking about A Ruin of Roses, a dark fantasy retelling of Beauty & the Beast by author K F Breene. 

There will be some plot point spoilers in our discussion of the book, which we have flagged up just before we mention them so you can skip forward to the next section if you want! As always with romance, we know there is going to be a HEA and our episodes aim to share the joy we take in following the characters on their journey towards it and prompt conversations exploring why SFF romance is so fantastic.

These are adult romances, so warning for explicit language and please check content/trigger warnings for the book before listening if there are topics that you might find upsetting to hear about. In particular, this book leans more towards erotic fantasy romance and the language is very explicit throughout the book - if you'd like to try another brilliant adult fantasy retelling of Beauty & the Beast, we can also recommend Entreat Me by Grace Draven.

In episode five of Season Two, we're talking about Second Star to the Left, a imaginative retelling of Peter Pan by author Megan Van Dyke. Since recording we have doubled checked and it is currently planned that there will be two more books in the Reimagined Fairy Tales series.

There will be some plot point spoilers in our discussion of the book, which we have flagged up just before we mention them so you can skip forward to the next section if you want! As always with romance, we know there is going to be a HEA and our episodes aim to share the joy we take in following the characters on their journey towards it and prompt conversations exploring why SFF romance is so fantastic.

These are adult romances, so warning for explicit language and please check content/trigger warnings for the book before listening if there are topics that you might find upsetting to hear about.

We thought there were only four books in the Fireblood Dragon series and there are currently ten! (We've got some catching up to do) You can use this link to find out about their order and other series the author has written such as Ice Planet Barbarians. Ruby Dixon - Book Series In Order - As far as we can tell, none of these include a prequel from Fort Orleans - but do correct us if you know any different!

We referenced the "fated mates" trope which is common in fantasy romance. This refers to the two love interests being fated to be together, like soulmates, for biological, spiritual or other reasons, that the reader is left to figure out! Commonly, at least one of the love interest recognises this fact. Our definition as we understand it, and we'd love to hear from you if you think there are further distinctions or restrictions.
