S05.21: That's So (Derek) Craven
It\u2019s Derek Craven Day 2023\u2014empirically the best romance holiday of February\u2014and we\u2019re celebrating in traditional fashion by talking about why there are two types of Lisa Kleypas readers: The ones who think Derek Craven is the best hero, and the ones who are wrong. \n\nIf you\u2019ve been with us for any length of time at all, you know we are mildly obsessed with Lisa Kleypas\u2019s heroes, her writing, the way she writes objects into her books as talismans of emotion, and the way she injects excellent romance directly into our veins every single time. \n\nThis year, to celebrate this most high holy of romance days, we asked all of you to help us by filling up a Google spreadsheet with things other Kleypas heroes do in their books\u2026because while St. Vincent and Winterborne will never get a holiday all to themselves, they\u2019re pretty great dudes. Enjoy, friends. It\u2019s -11 degrees on the East Coast, so we give you permission to hang out in bed all day and read a book by Lisa Kleypas.
