And Then They Fucked

After a sizable hiatus due to life and the various components therein, we're back with a very quick episode (compared to others) led by Tasha!

I this very delayed episode, Dani reads "Demon King" by Elizabeth Briggs!

She also tried not to go mad even though she's super upset that she has to go through it all again.

- Summary pulled from GoodReads

In the Danielle centric episode, we cover "Truth or Beard" by Penny Reid and drink a healthy amount of wine. 

"Beards, brothers, and bikers! Oh my!

Identical twins Beau and Duane Winston might share the same devastatingly handsome face, but where Beau is outgoing and sociable, Duane is broody and reserved. This is why perpetually level-headed Jessica James has been in naïve and unhealthy infatuation with Beau Winston for most of her life. Whereas Duane and Jessica have always been adversaries. She can’t stand him, and she’s pretty sure he can’t stand the sight of her…

But after a case of mistaken identity, Jessica finds herself in a massive confusion kerfuffle. Jessica James has spent her whole life paralyzed by the fantasy of Beau and her assumptions of Duane’s disdain; therefore she’s unprepared for the reality that is Duane’s insatiable interest, as well as his hot hands and hot mouth and hotter looks.

When Jessica finds herself drawn to the man who was always her adversary, how much of her level-head heart is she willing to risk?" Summary taken from Author's website.
