Author Kelly Cain @kellycainauthor will be joining us on the podcast this week to talk about her #ownVoices romance books, which were inspired by her adoption and family experiences.. We talk about her first series, what she's learned in the years since her debut, and what this series has meant for adoptees as well. 

In Hot Topics in Romance, Yaki and I talk about the Teyana/Iman break up, Keke still with her baby daddy, and rumors about Remy Ma and Papoose. We even touch on folks losing their minds about Traylor (T. Swift and Travis Kelce)

In Reading Romance, Tati talks about her obsession with token/coin reading apps like Galatea and Yonder, Celestine Martin's Kiss and Spell, and Make them Confess by Sherelle Green.


In Watching Romance, we talk Megan Goode's upcoming Lifetime movie, Taye Diggs taking a biopic turn, and the interactive Choose Love movie in Netflix.
