This week we lose our minds over the chili pepper scale and realize none of us rate spice the same. We hype strong FMCs who could crush us emotionally and physically. We get into CNC, genre jumping, horror cravings, and the books that keep pulling romance readers into darker corners. We talk about series openers that grabbed us by the soul and finish with a question that sends Steph into a mental spiral that Mis absolutely planned.

This week, we’re joined by the incomparable duo Madison Chase — co-authors, dreamers, and unapologetic builders of dangerously irresistible men. Together, we dive deep into what makes a morally gray MMC so damn addictive — from the emotional scars that make them human, to the chaos that makes them unforgettable.

This week, we’re flying straight into the fire. 🐉 Author J.G. Gates joins us to talk Dragons and Aces — a story where dominance meets desire, and every choice burns hotter than the last.

We dig into the line between power and vulnerability, the difference between writing spice that serves the story vs. spice that just scorches the page, and what it means to craft morally gray characters that still steal your heart.

It’s cozy chaos, fantasy heat, and a deep dive into how storytelling still has the power to make us blush — and think.

Grab your drink (wine, whiskey, or that dangerous third cup of coffee) and come get unfiltered with us.

🔥 Featuring: J.G. Gates
