Welcome back to Talk Spicy to Me, the podcast where two bestselling romance authors go rogue and talk all things romance: the good, the bad, and everything in between.
Season 2 kicks off with a deep dive into writing a romance series, featuring special guest Laura Pavlov. We talk series vs standalones, series bibles, character continuity, managing reader expectations, and what it takes to keep readers hooked across multiple books. Plus, a new release spotlight, book club announcement, red & green flags, and a reader Q&A.
