#8: Billionaires, Hot or Not?

<p>Hello again sparkly romance nerds! We're back with Jen's favorite heroes to hate, billionaires. In our last episode we discussed the billionaire trope as a whole and had an open discussion of whether or not it's okay to like them in romance novels (if you haven't listened to it yet, this is your sign. GO DO IT NOW). In the meantime, if you really want to hear Jen's true feelings on billionaires, give this episode a listen...it gets interesting.</p> <p>In the meantime, if you haven't yet, go check us out on Spotify @ <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0J49rKApb8Y2TnQC4f6f3V" target="_blank">Raging Romantics</a>!
