Welcome back WITS listeners!
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to get it on with the Kool-Aid man? Vera Valentine certainly thought long and hard about it when she wrote this week's book, Cold Sweat.
Smut Scale Rating: 🐙🐙
This episode has lots of giggles with healthy doses of "OHHHH YEAHHHH" sprinkled in. We're still not sure if we're totally on board for the step-sibling trope, but we're definitely both here for the fo...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
We got right back into the good stuff with part two!
In Part Two, we meet some new key characters, get one of Elle's favorite type of friendships in a romance novel, and really get to see "if he wanted to, he would" in Violet and Roark's relationship.
Overall, we got close to a 5 star- Kay gives this ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 and Elle was almost there, with ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kay's fan cast could be argued as a lazy cast today, but we've...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we dig in (albeit a little late to the party) to Morning Glory Milking Farm.
WITS Smut Scale Rating: 🐙🐙
Another long book means another two part episode (because we honestly can't stop ourselves from digging in much deeper than necessary on, well, everything)! Today, we discuss the MUCH more practical onboarding process for this company versus the T-Rex law firm from a few...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Happy Easter to those who celebrate! Today we're discussing Railed by the Easter Bunny by Dalia Davies
WITS Smut Scale Rating: 🐙🐙🐙
Both Kay and Elle thought that a story about the Easter Bunny was going to be silly and lighthearted, but were surprised at the darker tone throughout. That doesn't mean this episode is without laughs, however. As always, we learned a little something about ourselves, and Ka...
Welcome back WITS listeners!!
Today, we are discussing a staple in the smut world, Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon
Smut Scale Rating: 🐙🐙🐙🐙 (You're going to want to read the trigger warnings on this one!)
In this episode, Kay and Elle discuss how the first 30 pages of this novel could have been the start to a much darker, very different book, and could have been replaced with 30 pages giving us some more information at the END ...
Welcome back WITS listeners!!
In today's episode, we discuss Gay T-Rex Law Firm: Executive Boner by Chuck Tingle
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙
Kay and Elle have a lot to say for a story that was only 14 pages. We get far too in depth about the hiring practices at this T-Rex Law firm, what the world may actually look like had dinosaurs gone through evolution and were still with us today, and whether or not the story gave us "the tingle"...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Listen as we discuss Her Donut Shifters by Mia Harlan
WITS Smut Scale Rating: 🐙🐙🐙🐙
Elle loves a good supernatural town, but still isn't a fan of the food as characters trope, and Kay is reminded that she loves a why choose storyline. We go into some serious depth about donuts, fated mates, and where NOT to put food.
Overall, Kay rated this 1.5 ⭐, and Elle's love of supes gave this a 2 ⭐⭐ and she is po...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
On today's episode, we discuss Pounded by Poseidon, written by Thea Masen and Holly Wilde.
WITS Smut Scale Rating: This one could fall anywhere between 3.5 and 5 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙
In this episode, we discuss how difficult it must be to write a book with two authors, and how in some cases we could really tell there were two very different people writing. As always, we learn a little something about our own prefer...
Welcome back WITS Listeners!!
In this episode, we discuss What to do with a Naked Leprechaun by Tianna Xavier.
Smut Scale Rating: 🐙
Truly, St. Patrick's Day seems to be a missed opportunity for the Smut community, as there were not a lot of options to choose from.
Kay and Elle found themselves much more amusing than the book itself, but still had a LOT to say. Both agreed that there could have been a lot more lore brought into the s...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
We sincerely apologize for the cliffhanger earlier in the week. We know you want to hear the rest and here it is!!
In part two of our deep dive into Deep End, Kay and Elle break down Scarlett and Lukas' relationship, discuss some aspects of the relationship that we deem problematic (and honestly, its not the parts you'd think), and Kay still hates Pen, but we find out that her hatred is justified.
Overall,...
Welcome back WITS Listeners!!
Join Elle and Kay this week as they discuss Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
WITS Smut Scale Rating for Deep End: 🐙🐙/🐙🐙🐙
We had a LOT to say about this novel, so SURPRISE- you're going to get it in 2 parts.
In Part One, we discuss some of our own biases that were uncovered as we read, Elle's disappointment in the lack of a strong female friendship, and Ali Hazelwood's ability to make Kay's blood boil with no...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join us this week as we discuss Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow.
WITS Smut Scale Rating for Stuffed: 🐙🐙🐙 (a bit of a jumpscare 3 if you ask Elle) Kay argues that this one could be a 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙 for lack of a real plotline.
We start off with some more updates from the Smutverse, a few funny reviews from Goodreads and Amazon, and then get right into our breakdown of the novel. As always, there will be spoilers! F...
Welcome to the pod! In our very first episode, Elle and Kay review Unhinged by Vera Valentine.
We start off with some news from the smutverse, some reviews from Goodreads and Amazon, and introduce our own Smut Scale Rubric.
Smut Scale Rating for Unhinged: 🐙🐙
If you're not looking for spoilers- read before you listen! Elle and Kay go chapter by chapter through Unhinged. We ask some hard-hitting questions like "is there a difference b...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
