Say Yes to the Marquess & the Regency Romance Genre | Bonus Book Review

It’s time for another bonus book episode! This month, we’re doing a deep dive into the Regency romance genre, and Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare.

We kick it off by catching up on the latest in book and adaptation news, starting with Abby Jimenez’s upcoming book, The Night We Met, and the BIG casting announcement for Emily Henry’s next film adaptation, Beach Read.

And thennnn we dive into Say Yes to the Marquess (don’t worry, we give a full summary, so even if you haven’t read the book, you can still enjoy it with us!). We share the good, the bad, and the silly—and why, despite its flaws, we still enjoyed this book. Say Yes to the Marquess is a Regency romance that feels very modern. The humor and personal struggles of the characters can feel very relatable. But do you prefer your Regency romances more historically accurate? We discuss the pros and cons of more accurate depictions of the time period vs. taking more creative liberties.

As always, we wrap up with our ratings and a few fun facts about the genre, as well as romance literature as a whole, that might surprise you. Like, did you know Fabio has been on the cover of over 400 romance novels?

If you love reading and romance, then this episode is for you <3
