In the debut episode of The Curated Pages Podcast, hosts dive into the age-old question for romance readers: how much spice is too much spice?

The episode, presented by the Mindful Mom's Organization, kicks off with the hosts sharing their current reads, including The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros and My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney. They then deliver full reviews of two popular titles: Happy Place by Emily Henry and To Sir Phillip, With Love by Julia Quinn.

The central discussion revolves around the spectrum of romantic content in books — from sweet and subtle to explicit and steamy. The hosts explore reader preferences and where to draw the line, inviting listeners to reflect on their own ideal spice level.

Other books mentioned in the episode include Funny Story by Emily Henry and Twisted Love by Anna Huang. The podcast promises honest, thoughtful book talk with a focus on romance, thrillers, and meaningful discussions.

"What's your ideal spice level in books?" — the hosts ask, encouraging audience engagement.
