For Courtney's pick, we read Sunstone Vol. 1 & 2 by Stjepan Šejić. This is a queer, kinky graphic novel. You can hear how excited Courtney was to hear my thoughts.

Had a great time sharing my reads with Sephie. I read 21 books in June. Massive spoilers!!!!! And the "synopses" are comedically short on purpose.

Jess and I have a conversation about the growth of the romance world over the last 20+ years. Where it's been, where we've seen the change, where we see the need for growth. She shares the books that have influenced her over the years, and some of the authors she's following now.

Hi ya’ll! We have our second Book Club episode landing on July 19th!!!!!

Courtney Abbott is joining me after we read Sunstone Volume 1 & Sunstone Volume 2 by Stjepan Šević.

Grab these graphic novels from bookshop, your library, or wherever you can find them. Can’t wait to share this conversation with you!

I love a reader interview! Katy and I chatted about how she got into romance. What kept her connected over the years, and what she’s devoured since finding her romance passion about a year ago. We explored romantasy, contemporary romance, the diversity that now exists in the romance genre that didn't 10+ years ago.

Sharing all the books I read with some insights to what I thought. Sophie and I had a BLAST!!!

We finish our conversation about how to media "teaches" us about sex. Where we learn, and how romance novels can positively or negatively affect us. We get into the stats I've been collecting and what we hope the future looks like.

In this episode, we talk about women’s sexual pleasure. How young people are educated (or not) about it. What’s changing. The literal anatomy of the clitoris. And some very personal things about ourselves.

Mel shares the history of Steamy Lit. This company (subscription box, store, non-profit, conference) was founded with the intention to champion marginalized voices. How the action we take can impact change in this world. Where we hope to see the growth in this space.

This mini episode got posted a little bit early, my mistake with the audio file. Sorry! Enjoy your monthly dose of forearms.

This week we handed over the episode to our editor, Michael. He's been planning this one for a while. He collected a treasure trove of bloopers over the last 6 months, and he's ready to share them. Sephie and I are just along for the ride.

This is why romance readers are the best. If you haven’t started following Trigger Warning Romance because you need a taste, I’m giving you a spoon!!!! I had a blast reading and talking about Winter’s Arrow with Nat. So grateful that she’s letting me share them with you as bonus episodes.

Hi! We are still on break here at Jayce Reads Romance. We will return with our next full episode on May 9th.

Follow along with me on Instagram or TikTok. Both are linked in the icons at the top of the page.

The move has made recording a new episode these next few weeks more than a little challenging. I’m be using this time to set up my new office and do some deep dives for future episodes.

If you want to follow along with the packing and unpacking, head to my Instagram or TikTok, both are linked in the icons at the top of the page.

Now that I've started noticing, I can't stop. I'm bringing you along with me. Taking another look at the descriptions about forearms from the this winter.

Spoilers Ahead!

Our first book club style episode. Sephie and I read Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert. We deep dive into the story, the characters, and (of course) the intimacy.

When it comes to intimate moments in our romance novels and in our lives, consent plays a big role. Figuring out how to be in a state of consent doesn't always come naturally. How do we break the habits shown to us in the media we consume and the culture we come from. What does it look like when we put consent in the forefront of our interactions.

Get it excited for the future of Romance with this conversation between Kristin and me. We get into where romance has been and where it going. How readers have a huge influence on the writers and what we are seeing in this industry. This is a conversation between two passionate book people.
