🚨 NEW DRINKING GAME ALERT 🚨 In honor of our “Drunk 🚨 NEW DRINKING GAME ALERT 🚨
In honor of our “Drunkest Episode Ever” bonus episode and National Cocktail Day, we present:
A Most Improper Drinking Game.
Take a delicate sip when:
• Meghan says “fated mates”
• Dirk Ramsey gets dragged
• We mention Wisconsin drinking stamina
Take a most unladylike swallow when:
• You guess a blurb wrong
• A Mad Libs word makes absolutely no sense
Finish your glass if:
• We ever actually sound drunk (unlikely)
Play along while you listen — but please imbibe responsibly, you refined Victorian legends.
Tag us in your listening setup. We want to see the cocktails. 🥂

Instead, we:
🍸 Rolled dice for truth-or-drink confessions
📚 Dragged fated mates (again)
🔥 Revealed the cringiest lines we’ve ever read on mic
📖 Tried to guess if romance blurbs were real or drunk nonsense
Did we reach blackout chaos?
No. Because apparently we are professional drinkers.
But it’s unhinged in the best way.
Grab a cocktail and press play.

📚 ARC BOOK REVIEW 📚 I recently had the chance to r 📚 ARC BOOK REVIEW 📚
I recently had the chance to read A Bookish Story by Heatherly Bell after my podcast co-host and I received a hand-signed ARC copy from the author.
This sweet contemporary romance follows:
✍️ A ghostwriter who dreams of publishing her own novel
📚 A bestselling author hiding a romance pen name
💔 Two people navigating past heartbreak
It’s a slow burn, closed-door romance set in the world of publishing and writing.
If you love bookish romances and stories about authors, this one is definitely worth checking out.
Full review now live on the blog. https://romanceontherockspodcast.com/a-bookish-story/
