Episode Description
It’s time for a book swap and things are getting a little more interesting in this episode of Romance on the Rocks! Nicole and Meghan are reviewing the books they picked out for each other, with plenty of opinions, questionable relationship decisions … and vibrator discussions along the way.
Nicole dives into Happy Endings by Thien-Kim Lam, a contemporary rom-com featuring a sex-positive heroine, a sex-toy business, a struggling soul food restaurant and a second-chance romance. Trixie Nguyen is working toward opening her own boutique when she unexpectedly reconnects with Andre, the ex who once broke up with her using a Post-it note. There’s plenty to love about the female characters, food, culture and sex-positive themes … but Nicole has some strong opinions about Andre’s behavior, communication skills and a few questionable business arrangements.
Meghan takes on My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey, a beach vacation romance that starts with a creepy Airbnb discovery and a dead body in the laundry room. When kindergarten teacher Taylor finds herself caught up in a murder investigation, a grumpy private investigator named Miles enters the picture. There’s mystery, instant attraction, plenty of chemistry and enough interrupted opportunities for these two to get together to test anyone’s patience. But will the romance and spice deliver? Meghan has thoughts.
And, of course, there are cocktails! Meghan brings a peachy beach-inspired drink to the table while Nicole mixes up a pink Happy Endings cocktail to pair with her book.
Plus, stay tuned for the next book swap reveal, which takes a decidedly unusual turn. Let’s just say Nicole may have found Meghan the most ridiculous romance novel yet. Pour yourself something delicious and join the bookish biddies for Good Vibrations!
