Next year, we'll be launching the Dangerous Tides series, and it will be PIRATES. Sexy, bonkers pirates!

But of course, we have to keep SOME secrets, so we're going to send y'all on a treasure hunt to find out who the season 2 authors are! It will be happening after the New Year, so keep an eye out for that!

This series will be linked by our magical port town that sits out of time and space. It's none other than Atlantis! Each story will stop by the island for some time, and we've built a really fun cast of characters. We plan to introduce you to them leading up to launch so you can feel right at home in Atlantis.

Dangerous Tides!


Every Thursday, Katee Robert, Melody Carlisle, and Jenny Nordbak gather to celebrate the wonderfully over-the-top side of the genre they love. Their Bonkers Romance podcast is a deep dive into a truly wild piece of romance media each week, from novels to films and beyond. The conversation isn't about critique, but about joyful analysis-they break down how the story’s tropes are cranked to the maximum and explore why those exaggerated elements work so effectively to deliver a satisfying, often cathartic, experience. Listening feels like pulling up a chair with insightful friends who also happen to be deeply embedded in Romancelandia. You’ll hear their unfiltered commentary, passionate hot takes, and genuinely hilarious personal stories sparked by the week’s selection. The hosts frequently welcome favorite authors and personalities, offering a unique peek into how creators think about the craft and fun of romance. Naturally, you’ll come away with a ton of book recommendations, but more than that, this podcast provides a refreshingly enthusiastic and thoughtful space that reminds you why these stories resonate so powerfully. It’s a weekly dose of analysis, laughter, and pure appreciation for the genre’s most delightfully extra offerings.
