This week, join host Danielle Robay as she chats with Bea and Leah Koch, the powerhouse sisters behind The Ripped Bodice bookstores. They’re diving into the billion-dollar romance industry, spilling tea from behind the scenes on Watch What Happens Live (What’s the perfect romance novel for Andy Cohen?), and of course, dishing out their top romance novel recs. Prepare your TBR lists, they’re about to get a lot longer. Danielle also gets the honor of announcing the July 2025 Reese’s Book Club Pick – Spectacular Things by Beck Dorey-Stein – and checks in with the author on her very exciting pub day.
