Duke It Out by Bella James is the topic of episode 43! A book that takes place in the highlands of Scotland - it opens really strong on the spice, cools off for a while, and then picks back up. A forced proximity, fun, root for the female main character book- listen to find out what we thought of it!

Episode 42 we took a look back at how much, and what type of reading we did in 2025. Did we meet our goals? You'll have the listen to find out!

We also explain a purposeful slowing and restructuring of the podcast. So if you are ready for us to branch out a bit from the romance format - you're in luck! We have one more typical book to start with, since we already prepped it, and then we are starting our year of variety and quality!

Stay tuned for our next book, Duke it Out by Bella James

Back to our roots - a sports romance!! For Episode 40 we read Rebecca Jenshak's new book Lucky Shot.
