Episode Details:
Ever wondered how a simple holiday theme can transform your reading list? This Thanksgiving, join us for a festive edition of Romance on the Rocks, where Nicole and Meghan sip on mulled wine and salted caramel martinis while uncovering the heartwarming delights of holiday romance novels. This episode, we dive straight into the essence of Thanksgiving captured in Jessica Gadziala‘s “Stuffed: A Thanksgiving Romance” and Margaret Watson‘s “A Thanksgiving to Remember,” complete with apple orchards, emergency room drama and unexpected love stories that will warm your heart.
Nicole can’t contain her excitement over “Stuffed,” which brings Callie back home after six years to face her brother’s best friend, Adam, against a backdrop of football games and family dynamics. Meanwhile, Meghan explores the intrigue of “A Thanksgiving to Remember,” where nurse Tina White navigates her tangled feelings for a mysterious amnesiac named Tom Flint. Our discussions highlight how these novels weave realism and respectfulness into their narratives, making condom use in intimate scenes as natural as pie on Thanksgiving.
Listen as we reflect on the colorful world of romance novels, where age gaps, attention in relationships, and modern storytelling keep our conversations lively and engaging. Celebrate with us the vibrant community of hopeless romantics and bookish enthusiasts who inspire us each episode. We invite you to share your thoughts, book recommendations, and reviews on our favorite platforms—your support and passion fuel our love for this delightful genre!
