*“A Story of Love and Heat**"*
*
*
_Abstract_
In this talk, I will discuss recent advancements in the tidal Love 
numbers and tidal heating of BHs and exotic compact objects. In 
particular, I will show that contrary to popular belief, tidal Love 
numbers of rotating BHs are non-zero and for exotic compact objects the 
Love numbers have a Logarithmic dependence on compactness. I will also 
demonstrate how tidal heating can be used to test the quantum nature of 
gravity at the horizon scale.
