192 - Original Sinner by Kait Ballenger
Wednesday May 28, 2025
Wednesday May 28, 2025
Going to the devil himself for forgiveness - what a delightful, delectable idea. Only Charlotte has no sins to forgive and it’s driving Lucifer fucking mad. Charlotte is trying to escape the horrors of her past of an overtly religious, abusive father and the scars that he and his people have given her in God’s name. Thinking that no one will follow her because she now works for the devil, she takes a job at his firm. Lucifer has his new intrigue, Charlotte, on top of trying to keep his brothers and sister, the seven deadly sins, who essentially run NYC, in check. Both Charlotte and Lucifer cannot deny the lust they feel for each other and much more so after a fake-fiancé situation arises in a publicity move suggested by Charlotte herself. Only she didn’t know she’d be the fiancé… HOLY SHIT listen to this book. You’re welcome for Ethan Reid. Join us and our special guest, Kait Ballenger herself, for a fun conversation about Lucy and his band of misfit siblings, his resistance to fall in love with Charlotte, and his toy room of fun.

Renowned writer Dot Voline, aka Lady Death, isn’t dead - yet. But journalist Nadine jumped the gun by publishing a plagiarized obit stating so and all hell broke loose. Rival journalist, and old classmate Wes, is also following this story and more so since Dot isn’t actually dead. As competitors then and now, Nadine and Wes are only allowed to spend a very limited time with Dot, who has become invested in their real-life-enemies-to-lovers situation. After finding pretty much nothing out during their limited time before Dot actually dies, the pair stay in Lady Death’s estate for 3 weeks to uncover clues regarding her life, her stories, and a political scandal that is dying to come to light. Join us as we venture through this old lady’s wacky house with two people who are obviously going to put their differences aside, solve the mystery of Dot’s story, and fall in love.

Sydney needs a break. Sure she killed off the main character and super beloved hero in her bestselling romance series but who would have thought that it would cause uproar and complete chaos amongst her fans? Just the die-hard ones who were in love with Vance… and now she’s getting harassed and death-threats. What does she do to escape the madness and to find some peace and quiet to write her final book of this series? Wisdom, WY, of course. And who does she meet that completely knocks her ex off the bookshelf? Ranger, super smart, very sexy, and adorably awkward landlord of the place she rents for two months. Yes, yes sexual attraction, protection from stalker and paparazzi, but importantly fun fuck facts! Please read this if you haven’t already - and the others that precede this one. Ranger is the best!

No kink shaming here. It doesn’t matter what you do for a living, sometimes you need to get your socks rocked by something out of the norm. In this week’s book, we meet ER nurse Aly and her social media crush/stalker/cat-daddy/ex’s bff/circle yes or no boyfriend, Josh. After long, hard, horrendous days at work, Aly is always tired and nothing makes her feel better than to watch her favorite videos starring a super hot, masked man who she fantasizes about breaking into her home, being completely dominated and having her sexual fantasies come to life - safely, of course. And guess who gets her wish? Join us for some holy hotness, friends.

This week we are, again, joined by the amazing and talented, Jena Doyle - author of the Midsummer series and we are excited to be discussing the last three of this series, wrapping it all up. There are so many things to say about Samhain, Solstice, and Beltane but not enough time in a podcast episode so we hope you all read along. Here we’ll discuss the lives, love, adventures, and trials of Lex, Ivy, Carter, and Miri, as well as the very steamy, squishy sex between them all. What happened to these four in that forest in Kilwaughter years ago didn’t stay there but followed them until the end.

We’ve read fake-dating stories before but this one is between two best friends. Here we meet Laniah, a small-business owner who craves privacy and being homebound, and her BFF, Isaac, who is a sensational influencer and artist, living his best life in the limelight. When Laniah’s small-business, co-owned with her mother, begins to struggle and is close to shutting down, Isaac springs an idea that he knows would guarantee a turn-around for her business - telling the internet that they are dating. Though Laniah is worried that this would wreck their life-long friendship, she rolls with it. And even though they both start falling for each other (in a non-bff way), Laniah has a tough time accepting how she feels and is worried that her health and their relationship will be ruined if they both accept that they are in love with each other. Join us to see where they end up - or read this book with us!
