116. Sarah, Elyse & Sarah MacLean: Historical Romance, Regency Pools and NPR

In this episode, Elyse and Sarah interview Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author of historical romance. We talk about Billionaire Dinosaurs, but more about her upcoming book, Never Judge a Lady by her Cover, which comes out Tuesday, 25 November. We cover identity, the need for Regency pool boys, and the strange ways MacLean’s book has appeared as a sort of Easter egg on NPR.

Here are the two links to the NPR blog posts about the Dunkin’ Donuts’ Cronut, and the Papa Johns Frito Chili Pizza.  (Yes, that’s a real thing).

PLEASE NOTE: Spoilers abound! At about 19:00 in, until about 27:00 or so, there are some plot spoilers about Never Judge a Lady and I apologize for that. Also, another apology: this is not the world’s greatest audio for Elyse, and I’m not sure why it’s muddy when she speaks, but I did my best to clean it up.

Cowboys for Christmas

This podcast is brought to you by InterMix, publisher of Cowboys for Christmas, a holiday anthology featuring three all-new, steamy cowboy romances from Kim Law, Terri Osburn, and Liz Talley.

Claire, Georgia, and Mary Catherine couldn’t be more different, but they promised they would be there for one another no matter what. And when they all gather in Holly Hills, Texas, for Mary Catherine’s Christmas wedding, they’ll find they have one thing in common: hearts that are about to be branded—by unforgettable cowboys.

In “Love Me, Cowboy” by Terri Osburn, wallflower Claire would be more excited about the wedding if it didn’t mean running into Mary Catherine’s brother—the bull rider she once had a scorching one-night stand with…

Ivy League volleyball coach Georgia never wanted to see Holly Hills—or another cowboy—again. But a sexy veterinarian is making her rethink her vow to never marry a Texas man in “Kiss Me, Cowboy” by Liz Talley.

Claire and Georgia both think that Mary Catherine is getting hitched to the wrong man, despite how perfect he is. And in “Marry Me, Cowboy” by Kim Law, a local rancher with a wild reputation gives Mary Catherine a glimpse of what might have been—and what could still be…

    Oh, excellent! I noticed both those appearances on the NPR blog and wondered about them (mostly to get jealous that other people already have their hands on a copy), and I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed and that someone is talking about it 🙂

    Though if there are spoilers I think I’m waiting till after my copy gets here to hear what you have to say about the matter.

    (And in general thanks for the podcasts, I really enjoy listening to them!)

  2. Shannon says:

    Thank you for the spoiler alert. Now just to remember to come back and hit click. Even to hit click without spending money.

  3. jessica says:

    Thank you! I loved never judge a lady and I can’t wait for the next series!

    To answer the question about where the water for the pools in Regency era London came from, the earliest public swimming pools (or baths) in London were built on natural springs (there are a few streets in London which hint at the old locations for these, like Coldbath Fields Lane).

  5. Cathy says:

    Did the podcast feed URL change when the website was redesigned? I just realized Downcast didn’t load the last two episodes. I was able to delete my old subscription and create a new one, which seems to be working fine.

  6. SB Sarah says:

    It sort of did? It wasn’t supposed to, but because of the new site, some folks did have to unsubscribe and resubscribe. I’m sorry about that!

  7. Elizabeth says:

    Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me is at it again– go look at their most recent Sandwich Monday. Two book sightings.

  8. LaineyT says:

    I went to a birthday party that a friend and his wife had organized for their son, and they had a company called “Zoo to You” bring a bunch of animals for the kids to see/learn about/pet. As I recall there was, among others, a hedgehog, a chinchilla and, yes, various reptiles, including an albino python. Best. Kid’s party. Ever!
