A hockey romance where she’s the fan, answering machines making the slow burn even slower, and a surprisingly passionate Grease 2 discussion.


This week on Genre’d Off Book, Katy and Elyse are joined by author Jacquelyn Middleton to talk about Love Wants Us to Win, her romance set in early ’90s Toronto, and why she writes for hopeful romantics.


We’re talking women in sports fandom, her path to indie publishing, migraine representation, and why romance deserves more credit. Jacquelyn shares her favorite reads and her pick for a romance beginner, while we discuss second chances, friends to lovers, and Katy’s enduring devotion to a bad boy with a heart of gold.


Yes, Pacey Witter comes up. Of course he does.
