It's A Mouthful episodes

  • From skeptical to swooning: Heartless took us there
    Saddle up for the beloved Heartless by Elsie Silver! This week, we're diving deep into Cade Eaton - the ultimate grumpy, rugged, irresistible daddy cowboy. Katie wasn't sure at first (commitment issues?) but by the end we were both completely feral. From slow burn tension to spicy scenes under the stars, Heartless gave us everything we didn't know we needed. Grab your hat, hold onto your ovaries.

  • Slapshots and Sexy Shenanigans with Ellie K. Drake
    This week, we’re joined by the fabulous Ellie K Drake to talk hockey romance heroes, age gap heat, and that one Pure Romance party that was supposed to be fun — but turned into a surprisingly serious seminar on vibrators (we’re still recovering).
    From steamy book boyfriends on ice to forbidden flings that bring the fire, Ellie brings the laughs, the spice, and all the behind-the-scenes book tea. Warning: listening may cause an urgent need to one-click a goalie.

  • Caught up...in our feelings
    This week, we unravel Caught Up by Navessa Allen- and spoiler alert: neither of us was head over heels. But while one of us was side-eyeing the emotional whiplash, the other was fuming over pacing, the drama, or maybe just the vibe. Was it hot and messy in a good way...or just plain messy? Tune in as we break down this angsty, sexy-but-frustrating romance, disagree on literally everything except that fact that we didn't love it, and try to figure out who was really caught up- us, or just the characters.

  • Hold onto your panties- there's a storm coming
    This week, we're swept away by Whirlwind by Kayla Grosse. The smutty tornado romance we didn't know we needed! We're talking funnel clouds, flying panties, and a hero who blows more than just your mind! It's messy, windy, and wet- just how we like it.

  • Caught between a basilisk and a fuckboy
    This week, we're absolutely feral for Kiss of the Basilisk- and for once, we agree: we loved everything about it. A brooding, protective snake with a soft side? Yes. A cocky, charming prince who is a certified fantasy fuckboy? Also yes.

  • hold your horses - let's talk Sugar Daddies
    This week, were trotting into dangerously unhinged territory with Sugar Daddies by Jade West - a book that somehow combines threesomes, emotional baggage, and more horse references than the Kentucky Derby. One of us loved it, one of us was desperately searching for a plot that didn't involve stables. So saddle up!

  • Deep End...with mom (spoiler alert: it was lukewarm)
    This week, we brought on the ultimate guest- our mom- to help us dissect Deep End by Ali Hazelwood. A book that promised to be steamy but left us feeling...kinda dry. We expected cannonballs of spice but instead got a gentle wade into the shallow end. So naturally, we had to invite our mom to see in we're just desensitized- or if this book was all build-up with no splash.

  • Pucks, Spice, & Her Debut Book: Chatting with Ellie K. Drake, Author of Ice Contact
    This week, we’re lacing up for a deep dive into Ice Contact, the debut hockey romance from author Ellie K. Drake — and trust us, it’s bringing the heat.
    We chat with Ellie about her journey from reader to published author, what inspired her to write a hockey romance, and how it feels to release her very first book into the wild.
    If you love sports romance, spicy scenes, and getting the inside scoop from new authors, this episode is your jam. 🏒

  • Flawless : Giddy Up, Baby
    Saddle up, friends.....today we’re heading straight into cowboy country (and let's be honest, we’re not mad about it). 🤠
    In this episode, we're breaking down Flawless by Elsie Silver — the swoony, small-town, cowboy romance that kicked off the Chestnut Springs series and officially stole Bridget’s whole dang heart. (No, seriously. This is her favorite book of all time.)

  • Ice Contact: Girth and a Guest!
    In this episode, we’re diving into Ice Contact by Ellie K. Drake, a debut hockey romance that had us hooked with its swoony (and girthy!) MMC!
    To make things extra fun, Katie’s best friend Krista joins us as a guest reviewer. She’s not just here for the romance - she’s a legit hockey expert, ready to give us the inside scoop on what the book gets right and about life on the ice.
    We talk all the things: steamy smut scenes, first-time author vibes, and whether Ice Contact is worth adding to your summer reading list. Spoiler alert, we loved it!
    Grab an iced coffee and listen in!
