In this episode, we discuss Tin by Candace Robinson and Amber R. Duell. 

A decade after Dorothy melted a witch, she must once again travel the much changed yellow brick road to save her friends and herself.

In this episode, we discuss Tears of Tess by Pepper Winters. 

While on a romantic anniversary trip with her vanilla boyfriend, Tess still feels like something is missing from her seemingly perfect life. While trying to ignore the absence of a certain je ne sais quoi and appreciate what she has, she is abducted and sold to a mysterious man who may be able to fulfill her long-wished, unspoken fantasies, if she can fulfill his.

Content warning: Sex trafficking, sex slavery, rape, sexual violence, nonconsensual acts, abuse, and assault. There are multiple scenes where the hero harms the heroine.

Note from Erika: Apologies, we forgot the "rate the antagonists" segment for this episode. However, it's probably safe to say, everyone was an antagonist in this story to some degree. 

In this episode, we discuss Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny by Rebekah Weatherspoon.

Content warning: Threats of rape and castration.
