Romance is having a moment — but not all of it deserves your time (or your hard-earned $20).
We’re Ann and Mary, friends for a decade, and between the two of us, we’ve read hundreds (thousands?) of romance novels. We know the tropes, we’ve seen some things, and we’re here to lead you into the world of romance fiction.
With self-publishing booming, it’s way too easy to fall for a gorgeous cover and end up with a story that reads like soggy fanfic. That’s where we come in. We’ll help you dodge the duds and find the gems.
No shame, no buyer’s remorse — just swoons, spice, and solid storytelling for your underground library of romance - aka smut, aka bodice rippers, aka spice rack reads, aka Booktok baddies, aka hoe books.
Think of us as your secret stack librarians. We’ll do the research for you so you don’t have to. We won’t overwhelm you with options - just a few good reads to get you started.
