We discuss "Morning Glory Milking Farm" by C.M. Nacosta. What does late-stage capitalism have to do with minotaur spunk? This wild ride ranges from the perils of student debt to surprisingly educational phallic pastry. Oh, and Maude will never see milk bottles the same way again.

Wherein we discuss Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas - book one in her Wallflowers series of historical romance novels. Maude shares the sweet origins of her love for the genre, and we explore tropes galore, the problematic mores of Victorian high society, and one character's hysterically bad attempt to prepare her daughter for the wedding night. Oh, and we get a character's name wrong for almost the entire episode. (It's Westcliff, not Westfield. Sorry Lisa!)

Wherein we discuss the novel Rule by Jay Crownover. ***Content Warning: Includes references to attempted sexual assault***

Bad boys, good girls, great ink, terrible mothers, and the dangers of liquid courage. Annie goes deep... into psychology - we explore some of the reasons we love a good bad boy, the definintion of boundaries, and the unrealistic expectations in fictional therapy. 

Wherein we discuss Kiss of the Basilisk (A Split or Swallow novel) by Lindsay Straube. Uninhibited and unhinged - and for once, we don't just mean your hosts. Not for the faint of heart, this journey can best be described as a sexual acid trip where The Bachelor collides with monster porn, and even the therapist can't process the experience. Buckle up, kids!

We explore "Playing the Game" by MQ Barber, joined by guest mental health counselor, couples' counselor, and sex therapist Bella Donna, who shares her expert insight on ethical non-monogamy, polyamorous relationships, and kinky power dynamics. In this bonus-length episode, we explore the surprisingly wholesome potential of a well-balanced throuple, and also decide that if Dom Tattoo artist is not already an established career field, it really needs to be. (Yes, please do call us good girls and tell us how well we take that ink.)

We discuss The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary. The subtlety of the spice is more than made up for by the depth of the psychanalysis. Slip into your nerdiest glasses - it's gonna get cerebral up in here.

Wherein we discuss "That Time I Got Drunk and Saved A Demon" By Kimberly Lemming. Demon dragon shifters? Evil lich queen? A found family of pirates? Spicy nachos? Lovers screwing like bunnies on a deserted tropical isle?! Yeah, we got all that and more.

Wherein we discuss "Heated Rivalry" by Rachel Reid, and discover a new obsession with queer hockey romance.

We discuss The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. Conversation ranges far and wide, including neurodivergent relationships, the benefits of legalized sex work, and accidentally buying sex toys with the company credit card (true story.)

We discuss "Lights Out" by Navessa Allen. A sexy stalker romance with murder and serial killers, which doesn't sound hot but here we are. Also, we discover some heretofore unrealized interest in knife play.
