“Based on the term I coined for the kind of men that a friend (cough, Sarah) responds to, these books have a main character who might be kind a protective grump, but he keeps your mimosa topped up and the pleasures coming.”

We talked THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS in STEM Heroines and What to Read If You Liked The Love Hypothesis, among others. We mention MARRYING WINTERBORNE a lot, notably in its own deep dive episode. We’ve talked up MORING GLORY MILKING FARM in The Full Banana, Monster Romance, He’s Not a Billionaire, and Breeding Kink. We covered GEORGIE ALL ALONG in Worldbuilding, Fresh Starts, and Homecomings (when we were joined by Kate, herself). MANAGED got its own episode, along wiht the rest of the VIP series. HER NIGHT WITH SANTA made it into Curvy Heroines Redux, Santa Claus Romance Novels, and These Books Bang.
