Oh, it's Lord of Scoundrel's Week.

I'm so excited.

I know, me too.

Oh my God, I just can't.

Like every time I open this book, I think to myself, like,

it can't possibly be the greatness I remember it and

then I'm like it's better.

And fuck you Loretta Chase why are you so good at your job?

Oh my God, I shouldn't say that.

She is also the most, for the record, she's like the most remarkable human.

You know, when you're a writer, I'm probably going to regret saying all this, but whatever. When you're a writer and you're writing in the genre that like you have read your whole life and that you are this obsessed with, you're so obsessed with it, that not only do you write it all day, then you record podcasts about it and read it all night.

When you are me, like you go off into the world

when you're a baby writer, when you're like,

in 2009 when I sold my first romance novel and I ended up at like

the RWA National Conference like starry-eyed right? Oh I'm sure. And you start to meet people who have written books that have transformed you, like the books that blooded you.

And you start to be really disappointed often like you meet somebody whose books you love and

you're like I wish like never meet your idols yeah like people I'm like look it's just like that it's a business just like

everything else and some people are great and some people are not great and like it

just sucks though when you come at it as a reader and you're like some people just It just are not great.

Are not great.

Yeah.

Loretta Chase is great.
