Love MM romance? Heated Rivalry? We made this episode for you! 🙌✨

Beloved authors and join for an incredible conversation on MM romance, why we love it, and how the genre has evolved. We laugh, we rage, we fangirl - and we get into some meaty, important topics:

✴️ the double standard inherent in scrutinizing women's reading choices
✴️ the gender stereotypes women get to shed when reading MM
✴️ how to answer the "why do you write/read MM romance" question

🎧 Listen in to Bothered Stories: S**t Talks on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts ❤️‍🔥

What happens when you hand strangers spicy fiction at a bar? This. 😏

We asked folks to read the best stories we know. They delivered. Including NYT bestselling author (can you spot her? 👀)

This is what Bothered stories looks like in the wild—and we’re just getting started.

Here’s the stories that had everyone flustered: 📖The Haunting of Room 501 by 📖 I’m Not Touching You by 📖Kiss of the Kraken & How to Tame a Wolf by 📖 Night Shift by Ezra Klein
