What do you get when you mix nerds, cheese, and love? You get books that warm your heart by Cathy Yardley. We talk love, craft, and why cheese is an important food group! About Cathy: Cathy Yardley is an award-winning author of romance, chick lit, and urban fantasy, who has sold over 1.2 million copies of books for publishers like St. Martin's, Avon, and Harlequin. She writes fun, geeky, and diverse characters who believe that underdogs can make good and that sometimes being a little wrong is just right.

In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk about Nick Cannon/Jessica White reuniting, Khloe and Trey Songz fanning the flames of the rumor mill, and why Mary J Blige is OK without kids.


SPOILER ALERT: In Watching Romance, Yaki and I rave over the first Season of The Gilded Age (HBO) and the shocking season finale as we prepare for the return of Bridgeton (Netflix) March 25. Tati gushes over HBO's new season of the BBC hit Starstruck which premieres March 24. We hype up the programming at Lifetime, including their Seven Deadly Sins movies by Victoria Christopher Murray and Hallmark's upcoming Mahogany movie line up. 

In Reading Romance, once again, we shout out Cathy Yardley's Gouda Friends and Taj McCoy's Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell (both drop March 22)

In Listening to Romance, Tati shouts out the Maxwell/Joe/Anthony Hamilton Night Concert, and the discography of Maxwell and the Tea and Strumpets Regency Podcast.
