Happy New Year, Magnificent Firebirds! We don’t know what 2025 is going to bring, so we’re starting with a bang—the long awaited deep-dive of Judith Ivory's The Proposition , featuring that rakish rat catcher, that ferret-loving firebrand, the man himself, Mr. Mick Tremore! We’re talking sexual tension so overwhelming it makes a girl cry, horse-faced ladies who bring men to their knees, kissing on omnibuses and legs! All that, and Sarah and Jen disagree heartily on the issue of mustaches, but agree heartily that lionhearted virility is the energy we want this year. Get the book at your local independent bookseller, Barnes & Noble , Kobo , Apple Books or Amazon . If you want more Fated Mates in your life, please join our Patreon, which comes with an extremely busy and fun Discord community!

The Notes We did some holiday movie watching, as one does: Moonstruck, Sleepless in Seattle, and some scenes in particular were great to watch with our kids, the bus scene in Almost Famous and the underwear scene in Bridget Jones’s Diary . Lil Romance and Jen also watched When Harry Met Sally. There’s a new book called Nora Ephron at the Movies you might like, and this TikTok is great . Sometimes I just find cool stuff when I’m working on show notes, like this 2014 article from The Cut about the visual storytelling in When Harry Met Sally. A rolodex, including Marie’s portable version . Sarah was wrong about Nightime radio host Delilah , but you know. We aren’t apologizing for anything in 2025. Judith Ivory published 6 historicals, and then another 4 as Judy Cuevas . The Proposition is a Pygmalion / My Fair Lady retelling with a side of Trading Places .

It's New Year's Eve, and we're ringing it in with our standard silliness, this year with brilliantly funny duo Adriana Herrera and Nikki Payne, playing the current internet sensation game, Hear Me Out, where we share the people, illustrations, and vibes that can get it in our respective corners of the world. While there is no specific call for headphones in on this episode, you may choose to wear them to save yourself having to explain what exactly you're listening to! If you are looking for something a bit more headphones in, you should try one of our past episodes! Breeding Kink with Mila Finelli (2023) Omegaversity with Adriana Herrera and Ali Hazelwood (2022) Jessa Kane extravaganza with Andie Christopher, Alexis Daria, Adriana Herrera, LaQuette, Tracey Livesay, Nisha Sharma, and Joanna Shupe (2020) Pegging in Romance with Sierra Simone (2019) In 2021 we released the Season 2 Ted Lasso Roy Kent lovefest on New Year's Eve, but we were still pandemic-ing, so please don't blame us for the detour in brand that year. The Notes Nikki Payne and Adriana Herrera are friends of Fated Mates, but they are also the hosts of their own romance podcast, Unbound Pod . The first season was all about the Western and was six episodes. You can listen on all the podcasting apps. Preorder Adriana’s upcoming release, A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke or go see her on tour .

Frierson Return to Love by Tara Pammi Deadlines, Donuts, and Dreidels by Jennifer Wilck Fortune’s Holiday Surprise by Jennifer Wilck The Notes It’s the most wonderful time of the year. We’ve had lots of previous episodes around the winter holidays , as well. Rare book dealer Rebecca Romney was on the podcast back in season 4 , talking about how to collect books. You an read the catalogue for her collection, The Romance Novel in English , which was sold to the Lilly Library at Indiana University . You can see an exhibit of this collection, called Love in the Library , in Bloomington, Indiana through early February of 2025. The real line from Pulp Fiction is “check out the big brain on Brad.” Balls obviously had nothing to do with it. Here’s a pretty solid overview of all the different ways to get audiobooks into your earholes without breaking your wallet. Two very funny posts on Threads about category romance, one from Kate Clayborn and Amanda Cinelli’s reply . Sweetest Day isn’t even a real holiday, unless you’re from Cleveland, that is. The Holiday (2006) is a great movie and everyone is rewriting this plot this year for some reason. Support your local indie by using Bookshop.Org to buy this week’s books in print.

Let's talk about the over 40s and how they deserve love, too! This week, we're diving into what the industry calls "seasoned" romance, though we're not wild about this phrasing and prefer "Women over forty can get it!" We're talking about romances where, yes, the heroines are older, but they still get to go on adventures, in and out of the bedroom...and with rock stars and incubi, even! Guess what? There's a romance with a heroine over 40 in the Fated Mates Best of 2024 Book Pack from our friends at Pocket Books Shop in Lancaster, PA ! You can get a box of our favorite books of the year and support booksellers at a fantastic indie bookstore all at the same time!

Basically, if you loved Pearl Jam’s Ten , then you are probably the age of the characters in this episode. Now that “spicy” is used to describe sexy books, the word seasoned seems less useful. Veteran’s Day , Armistice Day , and how the wikipedia editors are making war on AI slop . Allie Parker is the host of the Romance Ever After podcast , and she recently suggested “the next wave of historical romance would be the 80s and 90s,” but there’s been way more historical romance kerfuffles happening since then. Sandra Antonelli is a key advocate for romance with older characters. Her site has an essay called Ignored and Misrepresented , which describes why characters over 40 should be leads and not stereotypes.

It's Thanksgiving week in the United States, which means capitalism! We're skipping (mainly) the talk of the midnight electronics runs, and heading straight to Small Business Saturday, when your local independent bookseller is doing their very best to put great books in your hands. Ever been in your local bookstore and thought -- I wish this place was the setting of a romance novel? We've got you, friends. We talk about the magic of bookstores, about the importance of small businesses, about bookshops as sites for revolution, and about the appeal of running your own little shop around the corner. And we recommend a bunch of books that are...honestly? Charming AF. Want more indie bookstore content? Support some booksellers at a bookstore we really love by purchasing the Fated Mates Best of 2024 Book Pack from our friends at Pocket Books Shop in Lancaster, PA . Don’t forget to tag us on Instagram or Threads or Bluesky when you unbox!
