Sex Club Masquerade with Sarah MacLean

Sex Club Masquerade with Sarah MacLean

Author: Katee Robert, Melody Carlisle, & Jenny Nordbak October 7, 2021 Duration: 1:18:31

We're joined by Sarah MacLean to recap The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt! We discuss the many ways books can be bonkers (Sarah’s love of bananas books), sexy times in a sex club with a masquerade mask, how self indulgent it is to sob on the ground for hours, and the seriously good books we’ve read lately!

Be sure not to miss Sarah’s brand new, super sexy, bonkers fun romance, Bombshell!

For the complete list of books we mention (with links), check out the show notes on our website!

Book Club


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.
