Is this a kissing book?
Of Swords and Soulmates features two couples (and sometimes more), with varying reading preferences and experiences, as they read, listen, and sometimes watch romantasy stories and discuss plot, fantasy elements, romance, spice, theories, and more. Join us for our non-expert opinions as we discuss, argue, rave, rant, and hopefully entertain. We may just help you find your next reading obsession or at least contribute to that TBR list!

Episode
Fifty Seven
A bride gets kidnapped at her own wedding, dragged to a remote island, and the “monster” watching her from the shadows turns out to be the only person who understands her. We watch this Russian fantasy romance film that feels like a Beauty and the Beast retelling
Episode
Fifty Eight
A vampire series with 20+ books and a fandom that can crash a streaming app. A writing process that starts as “movies” in the author’s head and turns into scenes readers swear were pulled from their own lives. We get into all of it with our special guest, J.R. Ward.
Episode Fifty Nine
Grumpy sunshine is the trope that turns emotional contrast into chemistry and we put it to the test with a brand-new format: we each pick our own book and bring the receipts. Listen as we explore a set of diverse books and what makes them great.
