Episode Description

I love my husband. He's great. But let's be real... if a certain river pirate or a scarred Duke showed up at my door? I would pack my bags so fast it would make his head spin. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’จ

In today's episode of Reading Under the Covers, a romance novel podcast, I'm ranking the god tier of Regency Romance heroes. These aren't just good book boyfriends; these are the men who are so devastatingly charming that they have ruined real men for me forever. And yes, my number one pick is a controversial "toxic" favorite... but I stand by it.
