Recs if you like Private Arrangements...

A growing historical romance book list for the weary bookish time traveler. Not limited to the Regency era.

Every New Years Eve we tackle some of the more headphones-in stuff in the romance pool. Two years ago, that stuff was breeding kink. Mila Finelli AKA Joanna Shupe joined us to recommend some books.

In the episode, we start out giggling and then get serious as we try to get to the bottom of this very specific thing that seems to have had a recent resurgence in romance. We do patriarchy, body autonomy and heteronormativity, then get into the provenance of this particular romance trope.

Second chance is my favorite trope and this shall be a running list of my all-time favorites💕
