Summary

We’re finally diving into alpha submissive romance novels during this deep dive of Heather Guerre’s Preferential Treatment, one of Sarah’s best books of 2022. We’re talking about the way some romances do such immense work today—this one really digging into something that romance usually steers clear of…money. We know money and power are inexorably intertwined, but what does that really mean when relationships are budding, and when sex is on the line? How do power dynamics shift and move, how does money impact our ability to be honest in a relationship, and most importantly, should billionaires exist? All that and we finally get to the bottom of the Alpha submissive kink, why Sarah thinks it’s great, and why it just doesn’t move Jen. Oh, and for those of you who’ve been asking for years, Sarah’s doing a mini interstitial in here about books that feature alpha submissives — enjoy!

0:32.2	glasses my reading I my like I have
0:34.2	this new sort of fairly new need for reading glasses and nobody told me that once you
0:39.3	get reading glasses like then you literally can't read anything that
0:42.8	glasses on, which does make me feel very old.
0:46.1	But the reality is that now I have leaned in
0:49.4	to just like the craziest.
0:51.6	Coolest lenses, right?
0:54.0	Or not frames.
0:55.4	And the reason why is because I have a 10 year old
0:57.3	who is still willing to sometimes like run and get something for me.
