Mild Content warning: We speak briefly about the issue of consent in sex scenes, which we both think is important. Although I refer somewhat lightly to past eras when consent was (to put it mildly) not a revered part of the romance genre, I would like to assure you that I am not in the least glib about the topic. But if you are highly sensitive, maybe turn down the volume for that part (from about 30:20 to 31:37).♥ OK, that’s all the serious stuff. :)

Description:
For Caroline Saunders, beauty is a curse. Everywhere she goes, she is surrounded by men who worship her. But Caroline knows none of them could ever love her just for herself.
She treats her court of suitors with cool disdain, gaining herself the title of the Ice Queen.
After an ugly altercation with an insistent suitor, Caroline decides it is time to escape the crowded ballrooms of London.
With a heart scarred by his parent’s disastrous marriage Julian Palmer, Earl Newhall has been in no particular hurry to take on a wife. But men with titles need heirs.
He reluctantly agrees to allow his aunt to arrange a week-long party at his Derbyshire estate. A handpicked group of eligible young women and their chaperones will be in attendance.
When a sudden heavy snowstorm stops all but one carriage from making the journey to Newhall Castle, Julian decides he should make the best of a bad situation.
However, matters turn from bad to worse when he discovers that it is Caroline Saunders who has arrived wet and freezing cold on his doorstep in the middle of the night.
The Ice Queen is the one woman in all of London society, he knows he could never be prevailed upon to marry, let alone love.
But when Newhall Castle becomes Caroline’s only place of sanctuary, Julian quickly discovers that beneath her icy demeanor there beats a passionate heart.
Two stubborn souls come together in this beautiful tale of enemies to lovers.
Regency Romance Podcast
Welcome! Here are your fuzzy slippers and hot chocolate--or champagne as you prefer. This is a long form podcast for people who love reading or listening to Regency, Victorian and Georgian Romance novels. Episode running time varies, but is typically 45 minutes and up. Each episode features a free, deluxe length, high quality audio book sample from a Historical Romance novel (some of them steamy) followed by an interview with the author--all hosted by Historical Romance author, Tessa Candle.
Be warned: some of the audio book content might be steamy, and because of that, there may occasionally be some naughty words or adult themes in the interviews. But overall the interviews are intended to be fun, good-humored and engaging chit-chat between friends--and just like when you are talking with your friends, sometimes you laugh and share encouragement or heart-warming funny stories, and sometimes you talk about deeper things. We sometimes focus on the books and writing process, but other times we take a deep dive into the secret lives of authors. There is a lot of great content in that mix, and I hope you join us!
