Is that a bottle of Pom Wonderful in your pocket or are you just excited for another modern retelling of Hades and Persephone? Either way you came to the right podcast! This week yr kores spring into “Neon Gods” by Katee Robert.

Modern It Girl Persephone runs away to the mysterious Under City (see what they did there?) to wait out her trust fund to move to Berkeley (pardon???). In order to stave off the unwanted amorous notions of Zeus she gets publicly f*ng’d by cinnamon roll in a black on black suit Hades. And then guess what happens!

Are we ever done reaping what 50 Shades of Grey has sown? Do you like bad boys or do you just like a project? Is world building the world of Romance?

Episode 115: Structural Villainy — Ties That Bind by Brenda Jackaon
Episode 115: Structural Villainy — Ties That Bind by Brenda Jackaon

This week, I & M tackle the multi-decade family saga slash love story “The Ties That Bind” by Brenda Jackson. When Rand meets Jenna at a college party in 1965, they kick off a romance (or twelve) that overcomes the ravages of time, distance, the Vietnam War, the fight for Civil Rights, classism, colorism, and a woman named Angela.

Is there such a thing as bad girl, or are they all just drawn that way? Is a villain’s relatability a form of carbon dating? Speaking of dating, does anyone date outside their family anymore in these books or are we just sensitive?

Episode 114: A Tyranny Of Endearment — Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey

Baby batter up!

This week on Whoa!mance Isabeau and Morgan chew gum in the dugout of "Fix Her Up" by Tessa Bailey.

Former baseball superstar Travis returns to his charming home village sore from more than a career-ending shoulder injury. When a new opportunity comes knocking, he teams up with his friend's kid sister for a mutually beneficial (aren't they always?) fake relationship. Thankfully, her "baby" status in her family isn't an impediment to his affections.

Why don't more characters in fiction just, you know, meet? Are we all slowly boiling in the waters of incest-adjacency? Is cognitive dissonance in the boudoir any less dissonant?

It's 11:00pm. Do you know where your Baby Girl is?

When she discovers just HOW timeless, our gal Auggie puts her hereditary gumshoe skills, and chosen family slash roomies, to use is breaking Jane free from the amber of the MTA.

Stand clear of the sliding doors, this episode is about to disembark.

One thing is for sure - Chris Harrison could never.
