Hi everyone! Crossing off a podcast bucket list item today and interviewing my FIRST EVER #1 New York Times Bestselling author on the show, Lauren Blakely. As the author of countless contemporary and sports romance titles, Lauren just kicked off her brand new "Hockey Ever After" series and infuses her stories full of heart, humor, and heat. Be sure to go read JUST BREAKING THE RULES, which is out now, and stick around to the end of the episode to hear us go on and on about Hamilton and musical theatre. Thanks for tuning in!
