Royally Not Ready

Multiverses are the new romances, and Sarah J. Maas has had us on the edge of our seats for two years waiting to happen what's next in the Crescent City Series.  Will Bryce get back to Midgaard?  Will Hunt and Ruhn escape the Asteri?  Are all the characters that are supposed to be dead truly dead?  It's gonna be a wild ride!

We talk about Air Awakens by Elise Kova.  This is a YA fantasy novel with elemental magic that gives Avatar: The Last Air Bender vibes, and we're here for it.

We discuss Royally Not Ready by Meghan Quinn.  This romance novel is kind of like...BDSM princess diaries?  Listen to learn how we get from Miami party princess to Scandinavian royal heir!

We discuss Tokyo Dreaming by Emiko Jean.  This is the follow-up to Tokyo Ever After.  Will Princess Izumi take her place within the Japanese Royal Family?  Will her parents get their happily ever after?  Did we like the book?  Listen to find out.

We talk about These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan.  This is a YA fantasy book with dueling Fae courts, a heroine with secret powers and quick thinking, and plenty of romantic tension and court intrigue.

We talk about Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost.  This is a paranormal romance with a heroine with mysterious electrical powers, a sexy protective vampire "prince" (don't call him Dracula!), and an ancient grudge.

We're taking an intermission in our Royals season to hop in with a bonus episode!  We talk about the best books we read in the second half of 2023.  Join us for some ideas for your next favorite book!

We discuss The Royal We by the Fug Girls, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan.  This royal romance is loosely based on Will and Kate.  It's an Erica pick, and we definitely had some mixed reviews!

We talk about A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lim.  This is a YA fantasy novel with a very unique take on magic that centers on tea ceremony.  We have a magic competition, court intrigue, and political scheming.

We talk about one of Erica's guilty pleasures, American Royals by Katharine McGee.  This YA novel follows four young women, two of them princesses, in an alternate reality where George Washington was America's first king instead of its president.  It's like Gossip Girl meets Princess Diaries!
