TORI’S BACK!!!! So, it’s only fitting that we dive right back into our groove with a Trigger Tribe member recommendation: The Pucking Wrong Number by C.R. Jane (thank you Camille). This book surprised both in a good way, we weren’t expecting such a funny yet dark book all wrapped up in a hockey sports romance with a tattooed “ding-a-ling” to top it off! And that’s exactly why we shouldn’t judge a book by its hunky cover!

Join us for something a little different this week! BFF Maxine - Nat’s old college radio cohost joins Nat to deep dive and review the Netflix Blockbuster: 365 Days. Where do we even begin? This unhinged, yet beautifully shot insanity of a movie was trying its best to be a romance but it broke oh so many rules that we simply couldn’t give it that title. We did however howl in laughter thru the entire thing so we give it “5 baby girls”!

Guard your loins ladies and gentlemen! Mr. Savage (Nat’s husband) is this week’s extra special guest and he’s giving us his take on Zoe Blake’s Scandals of the Father. It’s safe to say that his mind was absolutely blown as he wasn’t expecting non-con… or kidnapping, but he was a great (yet highly confused and conflicted) sport. Please note that this is not like our regular deep dive episodes and the audio quality is not as good as normal because Nat was having issues and had to use one microphone instead of two. Anyway, as always check the triggers and enjoy!   *** THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS***   ✅ Dark Contemporary Romance, Billionaire, Age-Gap, Enemies to Lovers, Alpha Hero, Jealous/Possessive Hero, Italian Hero, Italian Heroine, Small Town, Insta-Love, BDSM-adjacent, Daddy Trope, Spanking, Dirty Talk, Feisty Heroine, Boss-Employee.   🚩 Dubious Consent/Non-Consent, Abuse, Violence, Kidnapping   ****** Upcoming episode: Unhinged Desires – Kylie Kent   ****** Find Our Guest Host: At home… he’s an introverted home body who doesn’t do social media   ****** Titles mentioned: Sweet Cruelty – Zoe Blake Wicked Games – Zoe Blake The Shield and the Axe – M.K.
