Episode Description:
September’s theme for the podcast is “back to school” and we’re picking romance books with college campus settings for this episode.
Nicole reads Heartless Game by Jo Brenner, the second book in the Kings of Reina University series. It features a star hockey player with ties to organized crime and a journalism student determined to uncover his secrets. Meghan reads Take the Lead by Johnny Diaz, following a Boston journalism professor navigating relationships, family, career ethics and a new connection with a dance instructor.
We’ll talk about college romance, hockey, mafia drama, journalism ethics, age gaps, questionable decisions and why sometimes a book can be well-written and still not be your cup of tea.
Class is in session. Grab your drink and join us.
