Episode Summary:
Welcome to the very first episode of Blush & Bindings! In this special intro, your hosts—Kacy, Lauren, and Lindsey—spill the tea on their personal love affair with romance novels. From high school favorites to fanfiction, and yes, even a few steamy mom-approved audiobooks, they’re sharing how their reading journeys started with classics like Lawless by Nora Roberts and Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, and evolved into everything from lighter, charming reads like the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn, to darker, spicier stories.
Join the hosts as they break down the difference between ‘open door’ and ‘closed door’ romance novels, and give you a peek into the exciting segments you can expect—like Romance 101, Book Club, and TBR recommendations. They also tease their After Dark episodes where no topic is too explicit. With plenty of laughs and a judgment-free vibe, Blush & Bindings is here to destigmatize romance one episode at a time. Get cozy, because we're just getting started!
