Hey pals! Welcome to another episode of We Read It One Night with Alison, featuring return co-host, Elodie! We're talking about listener suggestion WHEN A SCOT TIES THE KNOT by Tessa Dare, aka the historical romcom Queen. Watch what happens when the fake fiance that bluestocking artist Maddie made up ten years ago only to fake kill off because she felt guilty for lying to her family shows up at her Scottish Highlands castle, alive, real, and hunky! Tessa turns marriage of convenience, epistolary, fake dating, found family, and more of your fav tropes on their heads. All of this in between our in-depth chat into the state of Romance books today, including Tiktok, the rise and fall of historicals, fanfic, online community, and more. Plus, tons of bonus book recs scattered throughout the episode. Enjoy the show!
