The summer special is here - just about sneaking in before the kids go back to school (depending on where you are in the world). 

For this bonus episode we took on an imaginative challenge and we're going to be a bit mysterious about it. Listen in or watch along and let us know if you can come up with your own "takeover" ideas - we'd love to hear them and just generally from you - how have you been? You can find us on social media @SFFRomCast: https://linktr.ee/SFFRomCast

We're still discussing adult books (though we'll leave the specifics as a surprise) but please carefully check the content and trigger warnings for each book on the authors website or Goodreads pages as some topics might be upsetting for some individuals. Additional warnings too for explicit language and a few spoilers, we tried to keep them as minimal as possible.

And as a bonus, bonus we also give a little teaser of what's to come in Season Three this autumn 2022!

In the final episode of Season Two, we're talking about A Ruin of Roses, a dark fantasy retelling of Beauty & the Beast by author K F Breene. 

There will be some plot point spoilers in our discussion of the book, which we have flagged up just before we mention them so you can skip forward to the next section if you want! As always with romance, we know there is going to be a HEA and our episodes aim to share the joy we take in following the characters on their journey towards it and prompt conversations exploring why SFF romance is so fantastic.

These are adult romances, so warning for explicit language and please check content/trigger warnings for the book before listening if there are topics that you might find upsetting to hear about. In particular, this book leans more towards erotic fantasy romance and the language is very explicit throughout the book - if you'd like to try another brilliant adult fantasy retelling of Beauty & the Beast, we can also recommend Entreat Me by Grace Draven.

If you'd like to watch via our YouTube channel (where there are subtitles available). You can find it via the link here: https://linktr.ee/SFFRomCast along with our social media details. We'd love to hear from you!

We hope you enjoyed Season 2 and will be back to join us in the summer for our special episode.
