Perfect for fans of Nobody Wants This and Book Lovers, Rom Pod is a smart and hilarious enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy about a romance podcaster who tries to cancel a controversial author, only to see it backfire when he becomes the star of her retreat.
Colette Frank has had it with cheaters and liars. Her ex-husband, Kyle—who had an affair with their upstairs neighbor—refuses to take accountability for his behavior and move out of their apartment building. So when Davis Casey, the author that Colette has spent the last six months trying to cancel for his deceitful pen name, asks to come on her podcast to defend himself, she decides it’s up to her to finally take him down.
When their heated yet undeniably flirty interview breaks the internet, Colette gets an offer from Amplify, the most coveted streaming distributor in the market, and her dream of making her podcast full-time finally feels in reach. The only problem is, to keep the sparks flying and downloads trending, Amplify wants Davis to come on her upcoming romance retreat. While Colette would do anything to make her retreat a success and clinch the streaming deal, there are just two issues: 1) She loathes Davis and every man like him. 2) She can’t seem to keep her hands off him. If Colette doesn’t keep it together, she could lose everything she's been striving for, especially if it means admitting that she may have been wrong about Davis Casey all along.
This witty and emotionally layered romance, filled with sharp dialogue and messy but lovable characters, is sure to make you laugh and swoon.
