Shhh We’re Reading Dirty Books

194 - Verity by Colleen Hoover

Guys. This is when we call a friends-off episode. One of us loves this book, the other hates it. Can you guess which one of us was like, “Hell yeah! Drama, angst, hot lonely-dad, birthday cake, and gut clenching suspense!” And who said, “What the fuck is this book?” Well, join us to find out as we dive into the lives of Verity, a renowned author who has become vegetated due to an accident but needs to finish her last novel; Lowen, an unknown author who was hired to finish Verity’s novel but uncovers some pretty messed up shit reading through her manuscripts, who also starts to fall for the hot-dad; and Jeremy, Verity’s husband and hot-dad who hires Lowen after reading her work, takes care of his unresponsive wife and only child left of their marriage, who can’t help but to fall for Lowen back, under the same roof he takes care of his family in.

193 - The Stranger I Wed by Harper St. George

Cora and her sisters are American heiresses to a generous dowry that they can’t quite acquire until they’ve each met one specific requirement: marry a suitable husband. But since their legitimacy is questioned among New Yorkers and accents are more fun, Cora decides she and her sisters will go across the pond to search for their matches - but only long enough to obtain their dowries, of course. When Cora meets the money-stricken Earl of Devonworth - Leo - a devious plan ensues. They will fake marry for a few years, perhaps have some heirs, and then get divorced and go their separate ways after Cora has shared part of her dowry. They won’t fall in love. Because, they never do… right. What kind of books do you think we read here? Join us for another steamy historical romance.

192 - Original Sinner by Kait Ballenger

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.

191 - Drop Dead by Lily Chu

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.

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!

189 - Lights Out by Navessa Allen

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.

188 - Samhain/Solstice/Beltane by Jena Doyle

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.
