Ep.13 Black Love Rocks --Who Gets an HEA? mini-series
Nerdy Romantics Podcast
02/15/22 • 62 min
In our new mini-series, "Who Gets an HEA?" that showcases romances with marginalized heroes and heroines, episode 13 features romances that feature Black main characters. Y. M. Nelson and Nerdy Romantics Marcie and Staci along with new Nerdy Romantic Jen recommend several romance novels that showcase the wonderfulness that's Black Love.
What's even better? These books are by Black female authors! 😍🥰😍🤩
While we recommend several books, this is just the very tip of the iceberg when it comes to masterfully done Black romance? Yes, Black characters should get an HEA, but who should read these? EVERYONE who loves a well-done romance!

Ep.24 Plus-Sized Romances - Who Gets an HEA?

10/27/22 • 82 min
Y. M. Nelson and Nerdy Romantics guests Marcie, Staci, Pam, Dana, and Mary recommend romance reads with plus-sized main characters as the last installment of the “Who Gets An HEA?” miniseries. The mini-series showcases romances with marginalized heroes and heroines, and in episode 24, we feature romance novels by Amy Lea, Olivia Dade, Denise Williams, Kendra Sumter, and Kat Baxter.
Because all of us personally connect to this representation, we also talked about the nomenclature of fat. How do you talk about someone’s weight or body size with positivity and non-judgement? Dana also addressed the frustration with finding books with good fat representation. Do you have recommendations or authors you like who have body positive plus-sized main characters? Contact [email protected] We’d love to feature these books!
