About us
This Book Club only meets in Discord.*
A few years ago I joined a Romance book club looking to discuss Romance novels with other readers. At first it was great, but then we kept reading white, cis, het Romance novels. When novels that fell outside of that category were discussed, there was a palpable discomfort. When an alien-human Romance was mentioned in the same sentence as "diversity", I knew I needed to create another space. So, this is Romance Gets Real! Here, we'll discuss BIPOC and LGBTQIA representation and its intersections in Romance novels and other media. (squeeing and gushing allowed and encouraged!)

And what he wants is the Teacher of the Year Award. Not just for himself—his school needs him to win.The New Year brings a new pupil to Marvin’s class. But when Illona walks in with her cute-as-hell single dad beside her, Marvin’s focus starts to slide.
Sure, his students always come first, but he deserves to have a life outside the classroom, too, right?
As their friendship deepens, Marvin realizes Olan has the potential to teach him things about love he never thought possible. But with the Teacher of the Year award and his school’s future on the line, now’s not the time for anything complicated.
With Olan’s past and Marvin’s present colliding, their experiment in love hangs in the balance. Marvin knows what he wants out of life. But now he’s forced to consider what he wants out of love.
Will Marvin chalk the relationship up to experience? Or can they revise their story into a textbook romance?
