Published: May 18, 2022, 8 a.m.

This week, we\u2019re talking about one of our favorite historical romances, Jeannie Lin\u2019s Butterfly Swords. This is one we\u2019ve mentioned on previous episodes, and discussed at length during Jeannie\u2019s Trailblazer episode, as it is the first own voices Asian-set historical romance. \n\nAside from setting the standard for adventure romance, it\u2019s also a near-perfect road trip romance with one of the hottest slow burns you\u2019ll ever read. We talk about all of it, including the absolutely devastating first kiss\u2014one that should go down in romance history. TL;DR: We love this book hard.
