Hi everybody it's Jen just a quick content warning this book and this week's episode will contain

discussion of miscarriage and I we know that's like a really big important topic for a lot of you and

we just wanted you to know that going in.

We're gearing up for the Bridgertons by reading a non- Bridgerton book because that's how we roll, Sarah.

I don't even, I'm not even sad about it. Here's the deal

everybody and their mother is going to be reading the Bridgertens on their

podcasts. We're changing it up here at Fatedmates. Here's the other thing that's great. I think it might also

be then easier to get this book. My friend's son he just told me this morning that she

was able to get this book from her library no problem where getting the Bridgertons from libraries is going to be tough

this year, right?

So we also, we're helping you out.

It's also my favorite Julia Quinn book. And you know what? I had never read it before, so we are going to have lots to talk about.

I'm so glad!

Welcome to Fatedmates everybody. I'm Jen Reed's romance. I don't know, I'm Jennifer Pro's romance I don't know Jennifer Procop I have lots of different names I guess who I'm the hell am I

Reed's romance I'm Jen I'm Jen I mean name is destiny and I am a romance reader and critic.

I'm Sarah McClain and I write romance novels and I read romance novels.

And today, weirdly, we didn't read, we have, I mean, we we've done we're now in season three of

faded me and we have not read a Julia Quinn novel yet and so I'm actually really

glad that we are doing it now.

I think at some point once the Bridgerton deal was announced,

we were like, well, we'll just save it.

I mean, I definitely became a conversation where it's just like well we might as well be.
