Feeling the magic of Christmas in today's episode. Suzy Langevin flips the classic Hallmark trope on it's head and we are here for it.

About the book

The Cowboy Christmas Glow Up

Levi Dearborn, handsome heir to a ranching family fortune, knows exactly what's expected of him. Get married, take over the family business, and spend his days working cattle on the cold plains of Montana. It's not the life he wants, but the one he seems destined for. But when everything goes wrong one fateful Thanksgiving, he skips town to start over in New York City.

Zara Mitchell is building an empire. The makeup line she started with her best friend while they were still in college is now worth millions. But that's left her precious little time for anything else, including her long-term relationship that her fed-up boyfriend ends over the phone in the middle of her Black Friday sale. Even though she's not that broken up about losing the guy, she's stressed about attending the biggest fashion industry party in the city, one that could make or break the future of their business, and she already said she was bringing a date.

After a messy chance meeting in a coffee shop, Zara learns that Levi might just hold the key to landing the celebrity brand ambassador her business needs. Determined to close the deal, she invites Levi to the party. As they get to know each other in the run up to the event, sparks fly. But when complications and revelations start to swirl like snowflakes, will their holiday romance make it to the new year?

Author Reese Sharon shares her journey of creating "Scorched," a romanticist book featuring gladiator-style battles with dragons and elemental horses coming out this October. We discuss the creative spark that comes from children, authenticity on social media, and the importance of not comparing yourself to other authors.

• Writing fantasy romance gives Reese more creative freedom than her previous dystopian works
• The idea for Scorched came from watching cartoons with her children
• Children can spark creativity for authors in unexpected ways
• Reese grew her Instagram following from 2,400 to nearly 5,000 in just two months through authentic posting
• "Comparison is the thief of joy" - focusing on your unique voice rather than others' success
• Showing up as your authentic self builds deeper connections with readers

About the book:

A romantasy filled with a FMC riding a fire horse, cursed with the ability to burn men to ash, and leaves her yearning after the man she loves, yet can never touch.

Serene is on a journey to find her sister, Tilly, after she disappeared from their home in Seattle, Washington. After touching the stones and transporting to the Realm of Azure, she realizes there's more to this world than she ever knew. Along with finding her sister, she must stay alive with the two princes who protect her from those who want her dead. Especially the ninety-nine men she is thrown into the battle games with, which is forbidden by the Gods. As the first woman to compete in the deadly battle games, Serene must live to be one of the chosen eight or die trying. Serene has to face fire-breathing dragons, unrelenting Royals who would love to see her die, and most importantly, darkness that is descending upon the Realms, including the man she will die to protect.

But little does she know that very man is the only one capable of destroying her.

Will she win the games and be granted the Light Stone to get rid of the curses placed upon the Realms by the Gods? Or will she fall to the one person whom she should be able to trust the most?

SCORCHED is a book filled with banter, tension, and yearning.

Gladiator-style battle games but with dragons & horses of the elements.

Fans who love the series, House of Dragon, Outlander, Reign, Vikings, and Fourth Wing will love SCORCHED.
