Episode Description
Can a beverage really set the tone for an entire podcast episode? While Meghan finds solace in a cozy coffee mug adorned with Jane Austen’s charm, Nicole takes a bold leap with the pizzatini, crafted by her innovative husband, Bob. This whimsical drink, with its Parmesan cheese rim and pizza-themed garnishes, serves as the perfect companion while we reminisce about our favorite romance novels of season one. From the mild poblano-rated “60s Beauty” to the fiery habanero-rated “Heart of Nashville,” we explore the spice levels of our 2024 romance novels and ponder on what truly defines romance, all while setting the stage for the romance books that tease what’s to come in season 2.
Laughter is our constant companion as we recount some of the most entertaining moments from our literary escapades. Remember the curious absence of breasts in a Debbie Macomber‘s book? Or the side-splitting quotes from “Beauty Contest Nurse” and Jude Deveraux‘s “The Princess“? These unexpected literary twists, along with the amusing term “thrumming,” have brought countless chuckles. Not to mention, our recording session blooper involving the character name “Allete” from “The Viking’s Chosen” that had us in stitches. It’s these joyous surprises that capture the essence of Romance on the Rocks.
As we sign off with a musical flair, we extend a heartfelt thank you to all our listeners, the hopeless romantics who journey with us through each episode. The upcoming season hints at exciting reads like “A Vote of Confidence” by Robin Lee Hatcher and “Till I Kissed You” by Laura Trentham, which both blend romance with a political twist. As always, we invite you to follow us, leave a review, and share in the laughter and love of our podcast. Your support makes every episode a delightful adventure, and we can’t wait to explore more with you.
