In this episode, we talk about Elle Kennedy’s M/F new adult romance, The Deal: "Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice... even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date. All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.” We also discuss the double-edged sword of pregnancy romances, how foreplay really never goes out of style, and the power of the changing seasons. We also give a shoutout to Treesong’s Cauldron and the transformative power of tea in general. (CW: This episode has a fairly brief discussion about sexual assault, as it is brought up in the book.) Join us next month for our episode on The Mistake by Elle Kennedy. We also have a special episode about Hulu’s wonderful show, Pen15, dropping sometime in December, so we hope you'll join us for that as well!
