Welcome to Reading Under the Covers, a romance novel podcast, where we chat, fangirl, and maybe even swoon over our latest reads. I'm Francesca from Under the Covers Book Blog, and today we’re recapping our latest Novel Hour live show!
We’re spotlighting Caribbean romance authors and must-read new releases for the first week of July, plus some juicy adaptation news—including what’s coming for Emily Henry fans. If you’re looking for books with island vibes, fake dating, steamy cowboys, or tentacle spice (yep, that happened), this episode is for you.
