START READING PUCKING WILD: https://a.co/d/ckYyY6Q
My name is Tess Owens and my life is officially on fire. I never thought dancing at my best friend’s wedding would be the match to light the flames. But with one lingering touch, one longing look…and one sneaky caterer holding a camera phone, my almost ex-husband is ready to torch my entire life. Unwilling to face the heat, I do what I do best: I run. Straight into the arms of Rachel and her team of NHL hockey players. One player stands apart from the rest. Jacksonville Rays star forward Ryan Langley is out with an injury. I get the surprise of my life when he shows up at my door, declaring himself my roommate. Now I have six weeks to launch a new business. Six weeks to fight for my freedom…all while fighting my growing attraction to this All-American sweetheart with a charming smile and a career on the rise. Did I mention he’s ten years younger than me? Ryan doesn’t need my drama. And we have nothing in common. But it’s getting harder to deny the way he makes me feel. Wild. Fun. Free. I want to believe him when he says age is just a number. I want to believe that our pasts don’t define us forever. But first I have to stop running. I have to face my fears. With one innocent dance, Ryan Langley helped me start this fire. What if we’re meant to fan these flames? What if, together, we’re meant to burn?
PUCKING WILD is a spicy MF reverse age gap hockey romance with positive plus size and bisexual representation. This is Book Two in the international bestselling Jacksonville Rays Hockey series. The series starts with Rachel’s story, which begins in the spicy prequel novella THAT ONE NIGHT.

From STAY A SPELL Book 1: What's the worst thing that can happen to a werewolf? Unable to shift for three months, Mateo Cruz knows all too well. His wolf has taken up residence in his head, taunting him night and day with vividly violent and carnal thoughts. Convinced he's cursed, he needs the help of a powerful witch before he literally goes insane. Evie Savoie has always obeyed the house rules of her coven--no werewolves. They're known for being moody and volatile. So, when a distempered, dangerous werewolf strolls in the bar and almost strangles one of her late-night customers, she's ready to bounce him through the door. But the desperation in his eyes when he begs her to help him softens her heart and convinces her to bend the rules. What Evie doesn't know is that Mateo's wolf has a mind of his own. And now that she's in his sights, he wants only one thing. Her.

Witches, I have a gorgeous guest to share with you on this episode - who is fresh off the release of her debut romance novel: Supernova
We had the BEST time chatting about everything from balancing creativity as an author, an artist, and a new self-employed business owner... through to writing spicy romance with fade to black or closed door scenes... sharing your creative vision... and so much more!
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
J.A. Jude is an author from Melbourne, Australia. An avid reader from childhood who refound her love for reading in her adult years, Jude is an artistic soul at heart, obsessed with the escapism that comes from a good book. A pisces dreamer, she spends most of her free time deep in the flow state of creating art—when she’s not binge watching a new TV show with her husband or curled up in bed delving into a new book; an ambience video in the background (of-course).
Sick of wondering ‘what if’, Jude began putting her love for writing and creating into writing her own book. A sucker for love, her stories are centered around romance with strong elements of the supernatural or fantasy worlds that shaped much of her life.
Supernova, Book 1 in the Gray Knights Series is her debut novel. https://www.amazon.com.au/J-A-Jude/e/B0C34B6K86/ref=aufs_dp_fta_an_dsk

Pinch me! LANA PECHERCZYK is on the podcast in this episode … and when I say I couldn’t stop smiling when I finished this chat (my cheeks literally ached from so much smiling!)
Lana Pecherczyk is a neurodivergent paranormal and fantasy romance author from Australia. Two-time winner of the RWA Prism Award. She makes a mean chocolate cake and enjoys 'pro-caffeinating.' Basically, if it's got flawed, swoon-worthy men, strong women, spice, and page-turning action, then she'll write it because she loves to read it. She also wins love by daylight and fights evil by moonlight.
After a crazy busy schedule of attending BABE Melbourne and RARE London, alongside the release of her latest in the Sinner Sisterhood series - The Sinner and the Gunslinger - I am so grateful to Lana for making the time to come and hang out! You can check out the links to Lana's books below, including her Fae Guardians series, the Deadly 7, and The Sinner Sisterhood 💜💜💜

The age of sin is here…
Chased by evil her whole life, Leila was accused of lighting the fire that killed her beloved foster brother Zeke. Now she’s one of the badass assassins fated to wield holy relics that will stop the apocalypse. But when Zeke turns up alive, handsome as the devil and working for her rivals, she’s forced to confront her worst fear… is she evil? Why else would he fake his death and abandon her?
Burdened by guilt, Zeke joined Team Saint as a gunslinging demon hunter to pursue a path of redemption. He failed everyone in his life… including the only girl he ever loved, his foster sister Leila. When an ancient prophecy drops him back into her life, he realizes he has a second chance at making things right. Easier said than done when she would rather he stayed dead.
As Lilith’s dark plan unfolds, Zeke and Leila are forced together on a desperate quest for a weapon that will stop the Horseman of War. Past wounds reopen, sins are confronted, trust is shattered, and passions ignite. And when lies are circling like sharks, their newly forged love could be the salvation the world needs… or the downfall of them all.
For fans of Buffy and Supernatural, this spicy paranormal romance weaves a tale of second chances, foster sibling bonds, and the struggle to reconcile secrets and lies. If you're drawn to stories of forbidden love, ancient prophecies, demon-hunting road trips, and the power of trust, immerse yourself in this captivating series about bad girls saving the world and the tortured heroes who captivate their hearts.
**Please Note: This series touches on taboo and dark topics, has explicit sexual content, demon-hunting-violence, and is unsuitable for the very young or those sensitive about religion, horror, and demons. HEA guaranteed.

BOOK BLURB 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
For the Love of the Gods is a forced marriage of convenience, fantasy romance novel, the first in a series about the gods navigating love and politics in a modern setting. The plot will continue through the trilogy, but each book is a standalone romance.
Hades and Pluto. Husband and Wife.
The Underworld is inevitable. No matter your status as a human, everyone ends up there eventually. For two millennium, souls would pray for safe passage from House Hades or House Pluto. But when an unexpected birth forces the houses into competition, the already tense relationship between Lady Hades and Lord Pluto will come to a head.
Dominic wants revenge. Rose wants solace from Dominic's prying eyes and thinly veiled contempt. When marriage between their two houses is the only option to keep the Upperworld from turning their decades-old anger toward them, they are forced together. The longer they spend in each other's presence, the more unlikely achieving those goals become. As lies between the two of them and between the humans and gods themselves unravel, only one of them comes out victorious. -

Me: Ask me what happens in Vegas…
Samantha: What happens in Vegas?
Me: Let me tell you. What happens is that you get “make out with strangers and pee in a parking lot” drunk.
TIE THE KNOT WITH A GUY YOU JUST MET.
Then *allegedly* participate in depraved group activities with him and his friends in the honeymoon suite of a five-star hotel.
But that’s not even the worst part. Because after an epic walk of shame, you find out he’s some insanely famous bad-boy quarterback who’s in the midst of cleaning up his act.
So now, you have to pretend to like him… sober…until you can skip town with an annulment and a shirt that reads, “I’d hit that.”
Except for bam—tiny hiccup, his personality cancels out his hot AF face.
And let’s not mention how you definitely took a trip to pound town with his friends.
So, yeah. That’s what happens in Vegas.
You get Knot so Lucky even when you think you hit the jackpot.

Hear that sound? It’s me screaming that this week’s guest on the podcast is Avina St Graves her mother-fkn-self
We’re talking all about her new release: DEATH’S OBSESSION
Which is also going to be YOUR new stalker-shadow-daddy obsession
From an early age, romance author Avina St. Graves spent her days imagining fantasy worlds and dreamy fictional men, which spurred on from her introverted tendencies. In all her day dreaming, there seemed to be a reoccurring theme of morally grey female characters, love interests that belong in prison, and unnecessary trauma and bloodshed.
Much to everyone's misfortune, she now spends her days in a white collar job praying to every god known to man that she might be able to write full time and give the world more red flags to froth over.
I knew this episode was going to be something extra special when the first thing we got to swoon over was Avina’s “Daddy Pedro” mug (you’ll have to watch the episode on YT to see what all the fuss is about 👀)
Check out the blurb for Death’s Obsession here 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
He’s coming for you.
Death is meant to come on a chariot of broken dreams or in the dark trenches of a storm, not in love letters and gifts.
He did not take my soul when I was meant to die. He did not want it all the other times that I’ve offered it to him on a silver platter. Yet, time and time again, he reminds me that I am his: His night monster, his dark love, his perfect other.
Death was the only thing keeping me alive. He watches me from his corner, taunts me with sweet messages, marks my body with his touch as I sleep.
He took the people that I love away from me. Still, no one believed me when I said that I saw the faceless man on the night of the accident.
No one can escape death.
Me? I’m chasing it.

GIVE ME MORE by Sara Cate
This is book number three in the Salacious Players' Club series... these are interconnected-standalones, that you CAN absolutely enjoy individually, however as you'll hear us talk about during this episode we both HIGHLY recommend reading all of them
What to expect:
- Throuple/Poly dynamic between a married couple and their BFF for life who joins to form the third member in the relationship
- Bi awakening
- Exploring K!nks
- Asking for what you want
- S%x Club(s)
- A K!nky Air BnB
- Demonstrations on stage 👀
- Unpacking childhood prejudice & traumaBOOK BLURB 👇🏼
I’m a scoundrel Playboy. Man wh*re. Basically, I get around, and I’m not afraid to admit it. So when my best friend opens up Salacious Players’ Club and asks me to head the construction, how could I say no? Now we’re on a cross-country road trip touring other k-nk clubs, and I couldn’t be happier. Life is good. Then Hunter suddenly asks me to sleep with his wife…while he watches. I’ll do anything for my best friend, but this is the one request I should say no to. Isabel is the woman of my dreams, but she’s his. And the exact reason I should say no is the one reason I say yes. Because it’s not only Isabel I want. These are the two most important people in my life, and if we go down this path, how will I ever be able to walk away? I’m not sure my best friend understands just how much I’m willing to do for him—and why.

***OUR RECOMMENDED SPICY READ THIS WEEK***
THE NEVER KING by Nikki St Crowe
This is book number one in the Vicious Lost Boys series - there are 4 books in the (now complete!) series and with each being very short reads, highly recommend treating them as if you're reading one book and just roll on from one to the next... trust me you won't be able to put these down!
What to expect:
- A dark romance Peter Pan retelling (all characters are aged up and this is DARK)
- Why Choose (aka ... she gets all 4 🍆)
- "Don't touch the Darling" - Villainous/Morally Grey MMCs galore
- Fae Princes and Lost Boys
- Dub Con
- Hotttt kitchen times
- Fighting with pirates
- Searching for Pan's shadow
BOOK BLURB 👇🏼
The stories were all wrong — Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.
NOTE: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Never King and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes. Book one ends on a cliff.

FOR THE FANS - by Nyla K
This is a standalone, MM taboo step-brother romance... get ready to go on one heck of a sexxxy-swoony-funny-heartwrenching ride with these two boys! We honestly don't know what Nyla K sprinkled into this book, but it is addictive!
What to expect:
- MM taboo step-brother romance
- Enemies to lovers
- Grumpy/Sunshine
- Angsty Jock in denial meets Gentle Artsy Emo in bi-awakening
- "We need money, so let's start an Only Fans..... together"
- Can't stay away from you
- Opposites attract
- So much character growth
- Spiiiiiice.... this book is dripping with s-x and we're not mad about it one bit 😈
BOOK BLURB 👇🏼👇🏼Kyran Harbor is everything I’m not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who’s awfully broody for someone who has it all.
Basically, he’s a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he’s also my stepbrother.
That’s right. We’re stuck together, sharing a school, a house… A bathroom. Honestly, I wouldn’t care… If he wasn’t such an uptight control-freak who messes with me just because we’re different.
I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college… Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.
Now the grouchy jerk I was hoping to evade might be the only person who can help me out of it.
Avi Vega is everything I despise. A dreamer. A flake.
An artist who smokes too much weed and thinks aliens exist. And by some sick cosmic joke, he’s now my stepbrother, following me on what should’ve been my escape plan.
It was already a disaster. Add a sudden financial disruption to the mix, and let’s just say my options are heavily limited.
If I want to stay an all-star quarterback on the way to the NFL, I’ll need to do something drastic. Unfortunately for me, and my desperate desire for control, the perpetually smiling stoner has a plan.
Maybe we can stop hating each other just enough to pull this off.
As long as we remember we’re only doing it… for the fans.
**For The Fans is a full-length standalone MM forbidden romance with an HEA. This book contains sensitive subject matter that could make some readers uncomfortable. Please heed foreword warnings and proceed with caution.

Murmur, the nefarious Necromancer, is losing his mind. His army of souls screams in his head, and his dreams are filled with bone-chilling visions of his approaching death.
But a villain always has a plan, and his will unleash a torrent of destruction unlike anything Hell has seen before… But for his plot to succeed, he requires one final ingredient: the blood of a certain headstrong witch, who quickly becomes a complication he never saw coming.
This heroine can rescue herself…
Suyin, leader of the Montreal coven, hides her dread beneath a tough exterior. Unusual abilities she can’t explain are taking over her life, and she’s haunted by ominous dreams.
Her fears are realized when she’s captured by a demon with bloodshot eyes and a scorpion tail. Murmur plans to leave her in his dungeon, but Suyin has no intention of making this easy for him.
Bargaining with demons is dangerous business, but she’ll do anything to survive.
Enemies may become lovers, but fate has other plans.

Summer O'Toole is the bestselling Indie Romance author and mastermind behind the Fox Family Crime Syndicate series... with the latest in the holy f'n hella hot line of Fox brothers to get his story: #ruinmeroan
We're talking all about Summer's author journey, writing dark crime romance, and I endlessly swoon over Daddy Cash
(if you haven't checked out book 1 in the series - get onnnn ittttt! 'MAKE ME' is currently available for FREE for a limited time only https://a.co/d/0KG9QaP and is the perfect intro to the series before reading 'Keep Me')
Here's a little preview of Roan's book - which I can already tell you (thanks to an early sneak peek), is going to have you 🥵🥵🥵
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
"I’m fascinated by the stories dead bodies tell. And murdered bodies tell the most interesting ones."
When bodies start turning up with connections to her father’s cartel, Regenia Cortez is pulled back into the dangerous world she left behind years ago.
She doesn’t know who she can trust, least of all Roan Fox—the man hired by her father to keep her safe.
Forced into each other’s lives, Reggie and Roan find themselves tangled in a sinister plot that runs much deeper than they ever thought.
Tensions rise, and the lines they swore not to cross start to blur.
Their own demons threaten to tear them apart, but one thing is for certain—he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.

My name is Mistress Mariax, and I run a s$x dungeon for supernaturals…
In this episode I am so excited to bring you the Mistress of Dark Romance herself, C.M Hutton
C.M. writes spicy dark paranormal/fantasy romance, often with queer gender characters. She enjoys turning the darkness from past trauma into the written word, while living on dark smutty books (yes, please!) and coffee (are we twin souls?)
In this chat we talk about C.M’s indie author journey from avid book-lover to now self-published romance mistress, the inspiration behind Mariax and the MOS world, her swoon worthy alpha hole characters you will fall in love with, and what to expect from this book (and rest of the trilogy coming)
Reasons you are going to love MISTRESS OF SOULS:
~ Mariax, our Pan s$xy demon domme (please step on me with those stiletto heels, mistress)
~ Hunter, our Bi alpha Lycan learning to be a submissive (fans oneself)
~ The Primeval, our tattooed dark mysterious Daddy (who I already *know* is going to ruin me)
~ A bookstore called “Tightly Bound”
~ S$x dungeon called “The Snuggle Palace”
