Episode 60 - Free Falling

This week we’re headed down to Key West for some murder mystery action. Pirates, treasure, ghosts, secret lovers…Southernmost Murder by C.S. Poe has it all.

Happy Halloween Secondhand Smutters 🎃 This week we we’re cozying up with Lyla Sage’s Free Falling. Join us for some ghostly shenanigans, small town vibes and leading man Leith Wilkes who certainly caters to our competency kink.

This week we’re dipping our toes in the Underworld with A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair. This is a spicy retelling of Hades and Persephone that’s been on Angela’s TBR for far too long. Persephone was a touch insufferable at times and the God of The Dead melted our hearts. Join us while we dish on the divine.

We’ve got a very special episode this week! We’re kicking off spooky season with a sneak preview of Vengefully Matched by Audrey Goldberg Ruoff releasing October 6th. The small town, cozy, witchy vibes are just what we’re looking for to move into our favorite season of the year.

We’re exploring another alien world this week with The Aquarian King’s Prize by Ivy Sparks. Between the plot holes and “wait… WHATTT…HOW?” moments, this one flops more than it slaps. Paul is offended, but nothing brings friends together like hating on something so, be a friend, and hate with us!

Angela COULD NOT hold herself back after teaching Paul about the Omegaverse a few weeks ago. This week we get some classic MMMM Omegaverse smut. Age gaps, younger alphas, an older omega, power dynamics. This book was smutty, dumb, and fast. Have some fun with Teach Me by Alisha Williams and Jenn Bullard

Paul and Angela sink their teeth into Dark Lover by J.R. Ward this week. This book made us feel like we were in the good ole days of early 2000s vampire movies. We got lost in the world. More plot than smut but a classic vampire romance that we yearned for nonetheless.

Class is in session!! Get your notebooks out and join Paul in a lesson on Omegaverse... Angela’s favorite guilty pleasure. We’re talkin scent-matching, perfuming, heats and ruts…Alpha BARKS. We go on a journey this week as we read Game Over by L.E. Eldridge & Bex Deveau.

This week we’re flying into Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C. Rochelle. We’ve got beefcakes and bi-awakenings. Yes, Daddy’s and some…rule-following, law-abiding villains and heroes?? Campy vibes with some plot lead to a fun time with this one. Come join us while we find out how Butch and Xander can end up together in a world full of normies and supes.

This week Angela loses her cool and shares her favorite smut book of all time. We meet the most perfect book boyfriend to ever exist and read some serious smutty smut. Will Paul hate Angela’s favorite book? Find out with us while we read Sloane St. James’ Stand and Defend.
