Straddle up, romance aficionados and pop culture buffs—your journey through the Wild West of love just got a sizzling upgrade! We are excited to take you as we go West on our inaugural season of Unbound: "How the West Was Won."
You're in for a treat, as we explore the Western as genre and delve into the iconic films and romance novels that have shaped our sense of the frontier. But hold onto your hats, because we're not just rehashing old legends—we're breaking new ground with Beverly Jenkins' legendary romances and shining a light on LGBTQ+ stories that boldly stake their claim on the great unknown.
Get ready to ride through the twists and turns of love as we honor literary icon Beverly Jenkins and her remarkable novels "Topaz" and "Forbidden," which weave a tapestry of historical richness and romantic defiance. As we traverse the dusty trails of the West, we won't shy away from the vibrant LGBTQ+ narratives that redefine cowboy tales, tipping our hats to Rebecca Weatherspoon, Sarah Black, and the poignant "Brokeback Mountain." And the journey doesn't end there—our trailblazing adventure celebrates Latine characters and the cultural influence of vaqueros, as we spotlight the contributions of Mexican cinema and its icons. So grab a spot around the campfire and take a listen, because these pages of romance literature are ablaze with stories you won't want to miss.
And hey, we write books too!
Nikki’s latest is Sex, Lies and Sensibility a retelling of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility that Jodi Picoult calls “The smartest Austen updates I’ve read in ages…”
Adriana is in her Belle Epoque Paris era and her latest An Island Princess Starts a Scandal is a delicious sapphic romp set in the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris.
