Smart Women Read Romance
Niece and aunt duo, Jessen Judice and (author) Juliette Cross, bond over their shared love of romance novels, and want to include fellow romance enthusiasts in on the conversation. We started this podcast as a big middle finger to the stigma associated with reading and loving romance novels. We love to fangirl about our favorite books, authors, and characters and are challenging people to think of romance novels as more than just "mommy porn" - though there's nothing wrong with a copious amount of sexy times. Bring that *ish on!
This one goes out to all the fangirls! Life's better with a little HEA.

Ep. 45 - Beard with Me by Penny Reid
Technically not a romance book in its own right, but it IS a part of the Billy and Claire duet. A very integral part in our opinion. Touted for being the most angsty book that Penny has delivered in the Winston Brother series, Juliette and Jessen found that the reading experience was enjoyable, and not too much to bear. Before we deep dive into the story, listen to Jessen and Juliette sort the Winston siblings into Hogwarts Houses (1:10). Get to know the characters, setting, and tropes during their spoiler-free discussion of Beard with Me (10:08). Spoiler Section: Juliette and Jessen compete in a Showdown where they each offer up their favorite scene to see which one reigns supreme (18:51). Then, take a deep dive into all the SPOILERY details of this prelude to one of our most anticipated reads of 2019 (23:00).
