Join us as Nat and Lo discover a new favorite sub-genre… fluffy dark romance! The trigger warning list on this one is not for the squeamish so maybe don’t listen to this while you eat (especially if you’re eating orzo, beef or cookies and cream ice cream). However, this book was one of the most funny, sweet and overall Rom-Com-esque dark romances we have ever read and we cannot wait for book two in this series! As always, check the...

This week the impact Princess herself: Princess Rara joins Nat for a SPANKING good time as we deep dive Sweet Intensity by Zoe Blake. It was an absolute joy to go back to Zoe’s Russian Mafia world where we can check our feminist brain at the door and let our book brain revel in the delicious story about an anti-hero cave man and his sassy banter-full lady, who, of course stands no chance against him. As always, check the triggers a...

No, your eyes and ears are not deceiving you… we are back baby! And season 3 is starting off with a banger!

As always, check the triggers and enjoy! PS: Thank you for being so patient with us for these past months!...

IT’S OFFICIALLY SPOOKY SEASON!!! Happy Spooktober everyone! We are kicking this one off with a good old Wolf Shifter hunting down his fated mate regardless of her engagement status and knotting her until she accepts his claim! What’s not to like? Please join us as we Deep dive Twisted: Book 2 of the Savage Alpha Shifters by D.D. Prince! You’re in for a howling good time! As always, check the triggers and enjoy!

Going once! Going twice! Sold! Yes, you heard that right, we sold ourselves in a spicy Auction! Please join us for an super special episode this week where we sold an episode of the podcast to the highest bidder in the Romance for Maui Auction, to help with the much needed relief after the Maui Wild Fires. So please join us for this great cause with our winner - Author and new BFF to the Podcast, Lindo Forbes. She brought us Sweet ...

Join Nat and Tori for the final part of Richard and Lizzie's love story... if you can even call it a love story, the jury is still out on that one! But what we can agree on is that it was a fantastic, dark and twisted tail that really made you stop and think, for a multitude of reasons. Richard's unhinged and absolutely crazy banana pants antics made us question our sanity on many levels but we sure enjoyed the ride! As alw...

Dive back into the absolutely deranged world of Zoe Blake’s Dark Obsessions series. This week we pick back up with Sinister Games and much like Lizzy, Tori and Nat are totally into it while simultaneously questioning our sanity. To quote the wise words of Disturbed’s David Draiman: “We’re down with the Sickness!” as always check the triggers and enjoy!

Join us for yet another unhinged episode where Tori’s ADHD runs rampant and Nat can’t keep it reeled in. Technically, this is a Deep Dive episode on Sorcha Black’s Cruel Idols: An Enemies to Lovers MMF Bisexual Romance… but you get much, much more than our opinion on this spicy, kinky, dark romance – including but not limited to bear shifter dick anatomy and a sneak peak into Tori’s life as a kitten. Buckle up trigger tribe, this i...

TORI’S BACK!!!! So, it’s only fitting that we dive right back into our groove with a Trigger Tribe member recommendation: The Pucking Wrong Number by C.R. Jane (thank you Camille). This book surprised both in a good way, we weren’t expecting such a funny yet dark book all wrapped up in a hockey sports romance with a tattooed “ding-a-ling” to top it off! And that’s exactly why we shouldn’t judge a book by its hunky cover! As alw...

This week special guest and fellow podcaster Princess Rara from the Pink Kink Podcast is back! And she’s “made up” for her last book choice by bringing us a quintessential true dark romance – Unhinged Desires: A Dark Romance by Kylie Kent! Rara has clearly been doing her homework and listening to the podcast because this book is chock full of all of Nat’s favorite tropes and triggers… including but not limited to TRACKERS! It’s...

Guard your loins ladies and gentlemen! Mr. Savage (Nat’s husband) is this week’s extra special guest and he’s giving us his take on Zoe Blake’s Scandals of the Father. It’s safe to say that his mind was absolutely blown as he wasn’t expecting non-con… or kidnapping, but he was a great (yet highly confused and conflicted) sport. Please note that this is not like our regular deep dive episodes and the audio quality is not as good as ...
