Ep 89 A Very Cringy Christmas! 🎄💋 Reading Viral Popular Holiday Romance Books

Send us Fan MailThis episode is chalk full of all the magical things we hope to receive this holiday season, including but not limited to: revenge on abusive fiances via honeyed ham cleaver, several foot long Krampus tongues, monster cages, Christmas tree farms, skiing sessions, and double penetration involving a college hottie and his… step dad? 😳It’s our unhinged, cringy Christmas novella episode, second annual! We picked two popular holiday smutty books under 150 pages and gave them a try to see if they lived up to the hype, were Christmas-y enough, and if the SMOT™ ratio was well balanced. Stick around if you want the 411 on Gifted to His Dad by J. Wilder and Cry for Krampus by Aiden Pierce. What are our spoiler free star and spice ratings? And should you add these books to your winter vacation TBR? We get into quotes, reviews, our summaries, and of course our deep thoughts and opinions. Then we also make sure to go over our own winter hopefuls, repeats from last year, and finish with a monster smash or pass involving a very tall and popular sweet angel baby and an animated classic.Don't be shy, subscribe!
