Hey there, romance lovers (and cocktail enthusiasts)! We’re Meghan Leigh and Nicole Danielle, your hosts of Romance on the Rocks — the podcast where we shake up steamy romance novels with a splash of cocktails, a lot of laughter and maybe a few gasps along the way.
In our introductory episode, we’re giving you a taste of what’s to come — and trust us, it’s a fun mix. We’ve created our very own Spicy Scoville Rating System to rate just how hot each book gets. Think of it as a scale from the mild poblano to the scorching Carolina Reaper. And, yes, there’s even a “pepper spray” level for those jaw-dropping moments that probably shouldn’t be happening.
We’re also cooking up some interactive fun — think bingo cards and drinking games — and other ways for you to play (and sip) along while you listen. It’s all about making each episode feel like a cozy hangout with your book-loving besties.
Of course, this podcast isn’t just about the spice — it’s also about the nostalgia. We’re taking it back to those early days when we’d sneak romance novels off the shelf, giggling over the racy covers and dramatic storylines that first hooked us. That trip down memory lane sets the tone for exploring how the romance genre has evolved — and why we still can’t get enough of it.
But we’re not stopping there. One of our favorite segments, “Romantic Reminders,” is all about bringing a little more romance into your life. Inspired by the books we read, we’ll share fun, realistic ways to spark connection — from sweet little gestures to full-on romantic moments.
In our first full episode, The Power to Heal, we’re diving into two books that couldn’t be more different (and that’s half the fun!). Meghan’s pick, Beauty Contest Nurse, brings us classic 1970s charm and retro romance vibes. While Nicole’s pick, The Viking’s Chosen, serves up historical drama, adventure and a nod to her Scandinavia roots.
We’re so excited to finally share Romance on the Rocks with you! Expect plenty of scandalous fun, heartfelt conversations, and probably a few blush-worthy moments. Make sure to like, follow, subscribe, and leave a review. You don’t want to miss a single episode of this passion-packed journey.
At the end of the day, Romance on the Rocks isn’t just a podcast. It’s our little love letter to the genre, to friendship, and to the joy of sharing stories (and cocktails) together.
You can listen to our intro episode right now on your favorite podcast platform. Or stream it directly from our website under the Podcast Episodes section.
So grab your drink, get comfy, and join us on this wild, romantic ride. Cheers!
