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

while fawning over narrators and having strong opinions about forehead kisses.

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

Stack our shells with the love it out loud.

Hey, HB's.

This is part two of our recap of The King by Nana Malone.

If it's all new to you, check back in your feed one day we published part one yesterday.

Okay, when we left you, our junior agent and her trainee, we're going into their first field mission, posing as newlyweds, which means

even more forced proximity and a fake relationship.

Let's get into it. So they go. Oh. So they go in.

So they go in.

They are set up in this, you know, honeymoon cottage situation, and then they meet Massimo and his girlfriend.

Yeah, what's her name?

Oh, no.

His girlfriend, Dahlia. Um, Giorgette. His girlfriend, Gayorgette. Yep. You know, we're going with that one. I like that. Gayorgate. No, what is it actually? Before I go to say. It's Graciella, but we're gay orgetting getting. So this is also when I realized I need to go back and read rules undercover because we meet Ariel Winston, who was a palace guard and ends up the queen. And I just, I need to read that one. It's number one, cheeky royal, by the way. So anyway, got her back catalog i went down i know i know

a whole mel so they are playing a couple and they have to get used to touching on each other

and practicing like smooches and like forehead kisses oh how do you feel about forehead kisses no

i am not a fan.

I feel like I forehead kissed children and that's it.

If you're romantic with me, your lips do not need to be near my forehead.

That it feels...

That's so interesting.
