Welcome to Heaving Buzhams, the podcast where two best friends recap romance novels,

while wondering why things didn't squeak us out and loving a gruff, affectionate whisper.

Go to love what we love and do what I love.

Stack our shells with the creatures out. Shad up from the rooftop. out, Hey, HB's life, We're back

We're back with the next installment of the

Bride by Julie Garwood.

But first, I need to tell you about our bonus episode this week.

Sabrina is telling me all about Heart of Rath by Effie Campbell.

It's this banana's dark romance novella that had me gasping and gleeful the whole time.

It's a very unexpected way for my true crime girly to be really excited about a book.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to read it.

That's this Friday on Patreon and our Apple Podcast subscription.

There are some wonderful people who support us on Patreon.

So help me welcome and send a huge thanks to

Hey, it's Vern, Whitney W.C., Catherine,

Blondy Tex, Rebecca G., and Caridwin C.

This week, Sabrina and I are back for the middle section of The Bride by Julie Garwood.

The start of our conversation is us interrogating the consent of one scene.

And, you know, while I think we're thoughtful, we do sort of get into the weeds and

try to parse our feelings about it. So I just want to put that out there as a slight content

warning. But without further ado, let's head back into Medieval Highlander times with Part 3 of The Bride by Julie Garwood.

Love it out of love. Oh, hey, Sabrina. We're back. Hi, Melody. Hi, hey Sabrina. We're back.
