Things heat up between Penny and Professor Hunter as frat boy Tyler stirs the pot in Temptation by Ivy Smoak.

We meet Penny Taylor, a college student caught in a love triangle between her hot speech professor James Hunter and frat boy Tyler in Temptation by Ivy Smoak.

Erin shares Bear in a Bakery by Liz Paffel, a novella about a shape-shifting bear-hunk who falls for a baker. Meanwhile, Jennie and Jason spiral into tangents about fax machines, the Cookie Monster’s emotional range, and nightmare co-workers. It's sweet, spicy, and slightly unhinged—just how we like it.

Ophelia and Blackwell brave the Wrath level of Phantasma, where danger lurks around every corner. Meanwhile, Jennie, Jason, and Erin go off the rails discussing Chris Evans, mushroom documentaries, and the worst breakup lines ever. Chaos, laughter, and chub-tastic romance await!

Ophelia survives Level 4 of Phantasma—a deadly game of gluttony on a booby-trapped chessboard with swinging blades and hidden pits. Meanwhile, Jennie and Jason spiral into discussions about forbidden love, standardized tests, confusing maps, and competitive hotdog eating. It’s a lot. 🍽️⚔️🗺️🌭
