*Important: Check Trigger Warnings for this Episode*
In this episode of Blush & Bindings, hosts Kacy, Lauren and Lindsey set sail to explore the high seas of love as they discuss historical pirate romances. They chat everything from the allure of the open ocean, lusting after libertines, and charismatic captains to the not so romantic realities of the times, the life, and lack of vitamin C. Test your ship knowledge and listen for throwbacks to their favorite trope to talk about. Book Club covers the highs and lows of life and love on the seas, with Pam Godwin’s Sea of Ruin, and your hosts remark on the double standards female romance authors face when telling stories with harsh truths and dark themes. The salty TBR recs include a range of swashbuckling stories to choose from. So pull the anchor, hoist the sails and get ready to be swept away.
