TRIGGER WARNING ON THIS WHOLE SEASON!

Dear listeners,

as you'll hear at the beginning of this and every episode this season, these dark romances are going to be filled with triggers small and large. We totally respect that this season isn't going to be some listener's cup of tea, and we want you to know upfront what this season contains so you aren't surprised or triggered. We have lots of reviews and interviews for you to catch up on in our previous seasons and will be back into fantasy, cyborg, historical, contemporary, and PNR soon enough.

For those of you ready to tackle the dark and taboo with us, we welcome you as we journey through this season to learn more about the genre, and hopefully get titillated along the way.

As always, we're planning to have some amazing authors and guests on this season who are going to help us explore real desires, questions, and all the things that pop up from reading these books.

Thank you all for joining us on this amazing journey. For helping the podcast grow. For sharing with your friends. For reviewing the show. For being our friends and loving to read and think about sex, love, companionship, relationships, friendship, and dirty talk :)

We have so much in store for 2021. without further ado. Let's get this shit poppin'!!!!

Trigger Warning- Grooming / child molestation in the heroine's past

Friends, this historical season is doing us right. Tessa Dare delivered and we had a great time meeting her at the panel last fall. This episode was recorded PRE Corona - so enjoy a nostalgic time when we could wander the streets of Target and in general leave the house with no fear.

Things we discuss in the book:

  • The parrot - Pretty girl - Fancy a fuck, love?"
  • Their meeting - her lusting after him immediately
  • Her aunt/brother saying she has to get married or move into the country
  • Her taking in all the lame and weird animals.
  • Duke of Ruin - willing to ruin everyone’s reputation
  • Their love story (OBVI!)
  • Her past trauma

As you all may remember, we were going to do book 3 of this series but realized that one of us wouldn't know what was going to happen because they really are not standalones. So we decided to go back to the beginning with book 1!

We start with Devil and Felicity and get a lot of backstory about the Barenuckle Bastards and the world. One thing we didn't realize is that Felicity is featured in one of the other MacLean series and the Bastards are mentioned. Thankfully that didn't affect us too much!

Happy 1 year anniversary from launch for us!!

Now on to the book!

Vanessa Riley came recommended to us by a lot of our friends (maybe even you!) on the old Instagram. But a different book, so maybe, that book would have had a little more open doors, and a little less plot lines, but this book was not that for us.

This book was very heavy on the praying to God and trusting in God. Each character was doing this at least once per chapter, so if that isn't your thing, this book isn't for you. As Shani says, "I wanna do things that are ungodly hahahaha."

Things we talked about in this episode:

  • Gaia finding out about her mixed heritage - coming to terms with it and pride in it
  • William and her meet-cute (cursing at the cliff)
  • Book picked up for me when he proposed to her
  • Plot was a lot! Dark secrets on both sides, attempted murders, kidnapping, multiple suitors, sister betrayal, cinderella story
  • Lots of god talk
  • Lots of her crying. Pull your shit together gaia (except when she tells the black servant to watch the baby)
  • Where was the sex? --- the kissing scenes were good though
  • The love triangle aspect

If you like historicals then you're definitely gonna have fun with this one. Suffragette meets Duke and it felt so right!

Some fun moments we discussed:

  • The Oxford setting
  • Her new suffragette friends who become bestfriends
  • Their "meet cute"
  • Her gumption! (ie leaves his house in a snowstorm bc he yelled at her and thought she was spying)
  • Hattie! nothing like a rich heiress to a non-titled fortune to deliver some excellent lines
  • Clandestine meetings
  • A few daggers to the heart bc he can't marry someone of her class
  • HEA!

Man Lisa Kleypas can write a book!! We had such fun following Evie's journey from stuttering wallflower to empowered viscountess!

This book was fun because it started right in the action of Evie proposing a marriage of convenience to Sebastian. We both didn't read book 2, so we only heard about his abduction of her friends, so we were fine with the explanation of how everything shook out.

Friends, we had so many FUN tangents while recording this. This is Shani's first episode back in LA (even though we were in separate places) and we couldn't have been more excited! And I think it showed.

Enjoy!!!

You guys there were so many people who DID NOT like one of the main plot points of this book and we thoroughly discussed all of the good, funny, corny, quirky elements of this book, as well as the few areas we were like, NO!!

It was fun to dip our toes into the Bridgertons, it definitely made us want to read more of them and made us really excited for the Netflix series! We'll be watching along on Patreon if you wanna watch it with us!

AKA Who body-snatched Pilar?

The beginning of this book rocked our world. We were both sporting 5-star feelings after the initial chapters and then when they left Miami for California the whole book started to change for us. Gone was the fun, the danger, the excitement, and it was a complete 180 of Pilar’s character and priorities.

Some major points we discussed:

The fact that Pilar is afro Latina from Cuba and that her family was a slightly shady bunch of people where everyone had a skill to help out the group.

Love that is Pilar stealing his boat and not the standard girl stowing away on a pirate ship dressed as a boy trope. LOL

The love at first sight is the sword fight and subsequent proposal.

The segregated train car.

When pilar threatens to kill the man who tried to assassinate Noah.

We wished Pilar’s badassery was used more and that the book had a little bit more action. Pilar was essentially a fugitive and yet no one ever came after her. And she had little opportunity for her cutthroat talents.

YO! We were sooo happy to record together, in the same room, for the first time and you can tell because our intro was literally a half an hour! And this was after 3 hours of catching up right before that, and then 3 hours the night before. THE HAPPINESS IS REAL Y'ALL!

If you wanna skip straight to the book review, go straight to 34:00!

So we were expecting a hot as HELL highlander romance from Maya Banks and instead, we got a kind, dare we say sweet, romance. Which isn't to say there weren't a lot of parts of the book that we liked, it's just, not what we thought we were getting with the rivals clans angle.
