Summary
This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Storm chasing, forced proximity, and a debut romance that's giving Twisters — but make it swoony. This episode is for every reader whose TBR needs a little weather event. Debut author Heather Frances joins the show to talk about Chase Me If You Can , her contemporary romance about two rival storm-chasing photographers stuck in the same car for the season. We dig into forced proximity done right, the black cat/golden retriever dynamic, and why Sloane is the eldest-daughter coded heroine we didn't know we needed. Heather also shares four romance recommendations she's been loving — cozy dark romance with surprising humor, a chef romance with genuinely great ADHD rep, a Scotland-set romcom full of dysfunctional family yearning, and a messy FMC contemporary that makes you earn the HEA. If you love tropey, emotionally rich romance with characters who feel deeply real, this one's for you. 📚 BOOKS MENTIONED Chase Me If You Can by Heather Frances — Buy on Amazon | Contemporary Romance | Forced Proximity, Rivals to Lovers, Black Cat/Golden Retriever, Storm Chasing, He Falls First, Single POV Prey for Me by Allie Oleander — Buy on Amazon | Dark Romance (cozy dark) | Black Cat FMC, Sunshine MMC, He Falls First, Kink Exploration, Humor | Note: mind content warnings Yes, Chef by Grace Reilly — Buy on Amazon | Contemporary Romance | Grumpy Sunshine, Chef Romance, ADHD Rep, Tattooed MMC, Messy Characters | Just a Highland Fling by Naina Kumar — Buy on Amazon | Contemporary Romance | Scotland/Travel, Forced Proximity, Dysfunctional Family, Yearning, Romcom | Upcoming release at time of recording Now That We Don't Talk by Rachel Pologe — Buy on Amazon | Contemporary Romance | Grief, Me…
