30: Bailey Hannah: Author of The Wells Ranch Series Talks About Her Latest Book At Whit's End

I spoke with author Bailey Hannah to discuss her latest book, At Whit’s End, book 4 in the Wells Ranch series. We’ve met our main characters in the previous books, but we’re about to fall deeply in love with Colt, a loveable, golden retriever ranch hand, and Whit, a single mom who feels that she’s both too much and yet not enough (relatable, btw). We explore the many layers of their love story and the transformative effect of trust, gentleness, and simply showing up. A background of small-town gossip and the ache of old family wounds, Colt steps into Whit and her son Jonas’ life with steady hands, a strong heart, star-gazing metaphors, and the kind of everyday devotion that heals wounds he didn’t cause. Expect found family warmth, a light fem-dom dynamic that centers Whit’s power, and proof that real love keeps its promises—especially to a child. If you crave single-mom romance, ranch romance, small-town coziness, witty banter, and HEAs with emotional depth, this book will be your comfort read. At Whits End releases December 2, 2025, in print, ebook, and audio (narrated by Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton). If you love learning more about Bailey Hannah, make sure to listen to episode 8 of the Love Letters and Books podcast.

29: Katana Collins: Romance and RomCom Author of "Meet Cute or Your Money Back"

I spoke with Katana Collins, a USA Today bestselling author known for her grumpy-sunshine RomComs and Romances. We talk about her recent book Meet Cute or Your Money Back (ex-Navy SEALs turned matchmakers find love), why she writes HEAs, and how joy (not algorithms) guides her creative life. Katana shares about her Maple Grove small-town romance series, her holiday romcom Rebel Without a Clause, and what’s next in her meet-cute universe. If you crave slow-burn tension, witty banter, small-town charm, found family, and romances that make your toes curl and your heart swoon, this episode is your perfect comfort listen. Katana also shares a tender love letter that will remind you why we read romantic comedies in the first place.

28: Ali Roberts: Author of The Unseen, a Reverse Kidnapping RomCom

I spoke with author Ali Roberts about her debut novel, The Unseen. This is a sweet, spicy, and very funny book about a reverse kidnapping romantic comedy where a fiercely responsible big-sister “accidentally on purpose” kidnaps the man who’s been quietly devoted to her for years (cue unhinged plans, scorching banter, and a hero who’s dangerous to everyone… except her). We dig into why “safe but unhinged and has already done the inner work” makes the perfect MMC, how comedy softens darker edges, and the scene-stealing therapist Dr. Alfie, star of Ali’s upcoming workplace romance, After Hours. If you love great banter, electric chemistry, and a side of spice, you’ll love getting to know Ali (your new favorite author). Ali also shares a tender love letter to her younger self, encouraging her to choose curiosity over fear. If you crave ’90s romcoms with bite, big feels, and a guaranteed swoony HEA, press play—then add The Unseen (and After Hours) to your TBR.

27: AJ Merlin: Dark Romance and Horror Author of "Dead of Summer" and "No, You Hang Up"

I spoke with AJ Merlin, author of some of my favorite dark romance and horror books. She’s the go-to author for readers like me who enjoy a little too much romance in their horror and a little too much horror in their romance. AJ's specialty is writing irredeemable heroes who somehow still manage to captivate their heroines (and her readers). Today we discuss some of my favorite AJ Merlin books, including “No, You Hang Up” (think a prank call gone wrong, a morally black MMC, and ’90s horror movie vibes) and the summer-camp horror romance, “Dead of Summer” (think Stranger Things meets a summer camp slasher from the ’80’s, with a big love story). AJ and I had a beautiful discussion about disability and mental-health representation, why “unhinged but safe” makes for a top-tier MMC, and how vintage horror cinema shapes her storytelling. We also talk about her books “Scaredy Cat” (Halloween fun, murder-mayhem) and Starve (monster romance rooted in American folklore). Stay for AJ’s tender love letter to her younger self—a reminder to keep going and trusting in who you are. If you crave horror romance, dark romance, slasher love stories, and morally black heroes with real HEAs, this is the episode for you!

26: Raya Morris Edwards: Dark Cowboy Romance Author of Jensen in the Sovereign Mountain Series

I spoke with Raya Morris Edwards, the dark cowboy/country romance author of the Sovereign Mountain series, which also includes the books Sovereign, Westin, Deacon, and the soon-to-be-released Jack. Today, we’re talking about Jensen, the fourth book in the series, which launches on November 11th, 2025. Jensen centers on one of my favorite side characters from the previous books and his FMC, Della, a single mother fighting for custody. We explore themes of revenge, discernment, fighting internal and external battles, degradation kinks, power exchanges, and so much more in this high-tension, high-stakes, high-spice series.

25: Ariel N. Anderson: Author of Under Your Scars

I spoke with Ariel Anderson, the author behind the viral romantic tragedy Under Your Scars. We talk about love, grief, and the cost of devotion in dark romance. Ariel opens up about the making of Elena and Christian's love story and why she chose a non HEA ending, and how staying true to the story became a lifeline through devastating loss. We discus mental health, self-harm, suicide, trauma, and recovery with care; Ariel also shares why she donates royalties to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and reads a moving love letter to anyone fighting to make it “one more day.” Ariel also shares about her lighter rom-com Venus: A Love Story (firefighter x nurse) and her Vampire duet: King of the Damned and Queen of the Wicked, and what’s next in her “tragedy era.” If you crave emotional, boundary-pushing romance with obsessive love, corruption, morally gray characters, and heartbreak that still heals, this is the episode for you.

23: Summer Riley: Dark Romance Author of The Tycoon (Book 1 in The Douglas Brothers series)

I spoke with Summer Riley, the dark romance author of the new four-book Douglas Brothers series. Summer and I talked about creativity, community, and releasing first book in the series,The Tycoon, a sweet-but-dark billionaire antihero romance told in first-person, dual POV. Expect an obsessive Southern-gentleman MMC with a monstrous secret and a tender, bookish FMC caught in a web of charm, manipulation, love-bombing, danger, and devotion.

22: Mae Tingstrom: Owner of Smitten Bookstore Offering Romance Books and Women's Literature in Ventura, California

I spoke with Mae Tingstrom, owner of Smitten Bookstore in Ventura, California. In this very chatty episode, we explore how Mae dreamed up a dedicated romance and women’s literature haven, complete with cozy book clubs, indie and traditional author signings, “blind dates with a book,” writing circles, tarot nights, and a calendar packed with community-forward events. We talk about the stigma surrounding the romance genre, why stories about caretaking matter, and how Mae “matchmakes” readers with the perfect book (and each other). If you’ve ever wished for a local romance bookstore, this is your invitation to step into a world with curated shelves of books that look suspiciously like your TBR. Stay to the end for Mae's tender love letter to her younger self about slowing down and savoring the chapter you’re in.

21: Maggie Gates: Author of Dust Storm, Down Pour, and Fire Line, Cowboy Romances on the Griffith Brothers Ranch

I spoke with Maggie Gates, author of raw, relatable romance books. We discussed her Griffith Brothers Cowboy Romance series, including Dust Storm, Down Pour and Fire Line, three swoony, high-heat love stories set on a Texas ranch where we meet a protective single dad, an ex–bull rider learning to live again, and a grumpy cowboy who hates change, plus the unforgettable women who match their grit. We talk found family, grief, anger, and the journey of surrender and healing. We touch on grumpy/sunshine chemistry, how sometimes the thing we never saw coming is exactly what we never knew we needed, and how Maggie turns real emotions into safe, cathartic small-town cowboy romances that increase our empathy and understanding. If you're a fan of books with resilience, redemption, and forever love, this is the epsiode for you.

20: Katherine Bitner: Author of Lucky Penny A Small Town Contemporary Romance

I spoke with Katherine Bitner about her new book, Lucky Penny, the emotional, second-chance, small-town romance in her Hometown series (an interconnected standalone series that began with Unravel Me). Katherine takes us inside Penny’s journey of maasking pain with with upbeat enthusiasm and introduces Jesse, her former foster brother turned tattooed animal rescuer, as a dual-POV, dual-timeline love story unfolds in Wilmington, North Carolina. We dig into many topics in this episode, including: loved ones being a mirror for our trauma, coping mechanisms, and the discomfort of growth, ultimately allowing us to heal old wounds. We also touch on child-free by choice romance books, in a tender, honest conversation that makes space for readers to feel seen. Katherine shares the impact that Chloe Walsh's Boys of Tommen series has had on her and the next direction she's taking in her writing. Lucky Penny launches 10/8/25 in Kindle Unlimited and paperback.

I spoke with Measha Stone, a dark romance author of spicy and complex psychological thrillers such as Dolly and Marked, as well as mafia romance series, Mafia Brides and Vicious Sinners. We explored Dolly, one of my favorite reads of 2024, a psychological thriller that blends survivor healing, trauma bonding, and gloriously cathartic revenge, and how she crafts protective heroes, powerful heroines, and that sigh-worthy “ahh” ending after the chaos. Measha shares her writing process, what inspires her, including her favorite authors and films, and how dark romance can be a safe place to feel hard things. We discuss her Vicious Sinners series, including Devious Corruption, her newest book, arriving October 17 on Kindle Unlimited. We also discussed the Mafia Brides series starting point (Taken by Him), her Stalked by a Monster collaboration with Zoe Blake and Sarah Fields. Measha shared a tender love letter to readers to round out this intimate, empowering conversation.

We discussed her latest book, A Taste of Candy, about an unhinged yet tender hacker–stalker FMC who sets her sights on Jeremy, a sweet, lonely office worker living with a chronic heart condition. We talk flipping power dynamics (soft MMC/shameless FMC), compassionate chronic-illness representation in dark romance, and how fanfic roots plus inspiration from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Haunting Adeline shaped this sparkly-pink, vigilante love story. Tawnya also shares her creative restart during lockdown, her audiobooks and fantasy books (A Silent Discovery, At the Castle of Eternal Winter, and Heart of the Machine), and closes with a beautiful love letter to readers about visibility and belonging. And don't miss the wild cold-open recording saga we experienced that could be a book itself.

Amanda and I discuss the influence of Walt Whitman, Frank O'Hara, and Richard Brautigan, as well as the playlists that score pivotal scenes, and the moments when characters “take the wheel” of her writing. Amanda also shares a moving love letter to her younger self about resilience, believing in yourself, and dreaming big.

Kristi opens up about writing as escapism, the fierce compassion she brings to her flawed characters, their complicated relationships, and how she navigated backlash and book bans. We discuss challenging happily-ever-afters, trusting the process, double standards for women in publishing, the layered, multi-generational storytelling that fuels books like The Wild, and the real-world research behind the mental health themes in her books.

We spoke at length about Tylor’s cult-survivor slasher romances where villains stay villains, the chemistry is electric, and a goth FMC steals everyone’s heart. We explore the difference between dark romance and horror romance, Tylor’s cinematic writing process, the nostalgic roots that inspire her writing (V.C. Andrews, Stephen King, Twilight Zone), and the indie-to-traditional journey that led to her upcoming Hollywood revenge novel, Good For Her. Tylor also shares a vulnerable and inspirational love letter to the readers who championed her work.

14: Kate James: Paranormal Romance Author of Shifter Romance Rescued by the Wolf and Summer's Ghost

I spoke with Kate James, paranormal romance author, to talk shifter romance, soul-deep bonds, and writing the kind of love that feels a little bit like magic. Inspired by a real backcountry rescue, Kate’s wolf-shifter firefighter novella, Rescued by the Wolf, delivers a tender second-chance romance with fierce pack/found-family vibes and an FMC learning to find her voice. We also dive into her nostalgic, beachy ghost romance Summer’s Ghost (think Gidget with a bit of spice), her Scottish Highlands Cameron Clan shifter world (Desiring the Alpha and Hunting the Alpha), plus witchy novellas (The Witches of Engels) and new books on the way. If you crave wolf shifters, firefighter romance, witches, vampires, and magic, and quick, satisfying novellas that still hit the mark emotionally, this conversation is your next cozy listen. Stay to the end to hear a beautiful love letter Kate wrote for her readers.

12: Raya Morris Edwards: Contemporary Dark Cowboy Romance Author of the Sovereign Mountain Series

I spoke with Raya Morris Edwards, the dark cowboy/country romance author of the Sovereign Mountain series, which includes books Sovereign, Westin, Deacon, and the soon-to-be-released Jensen and Jack. We discuss Raya’s “Yellowstone meets 50 Shades of Grey” universe, set in fictionalized rural Montana, where timeless stories and wild landscapes collide with high-spice, age-gap, and BDSM-forward love stories, and themes of trauma and deprivation give way to storytelling about connection, autonomy, and self-discovery. We’ll also explore how Raya transforms a place into a character, a flawed main male character into the ultimate anti-hero, and all while building a life for her main female characters that go from harsh and hopeless to soft and sensual, and how these flawed yet beautiful relationships are explored through intimacy, communication, and kink as healing.
