Hello Rebel Readers,

In this hilarious, and completely captivating episode, we sit down with USA Today Romance Author B. Celeste, the beloved new adult and contemporary romance author. B is known for giving powerful, emotional voices to raw, realistic characters, especially those navigating chronic illness and finding love through it all.

B. opens up about her inspiring author journey, the importance of spotlighting chronically ill characters, and the emotional depth she pours into every story. We dive into the behind-the-scenes hilarity too, like how her mom and grandma (who loves the spicy… and the spicier, the better!) weigh in on her steamy scenes. She also shares her unforgettable experience with Lucy Score, her iconic advice on taping up boobies, and the ongoing need to finally try Taco Bell.

We also dish on her newest release, Three Pucking Words, the fiery book in her brand-new hockey romance series. Love me some hockey romance. Plus, since book talk is never optional, we gush over Navessa Allen’s Lights Out (definitely one of my all-time favs) AND bond over the fact that we are true KU girlies through and through.

Emotional, empowering, spicy, chaotic, and booklover approved—this is an episode you absolutely do not want to miss. Happy Listening!
