Ep.08—Kiss of Steel: Orgasmic Saliva and Other Such Curiosities

We’re fighting the plague once again in this Steampunk London setting! In this week's book, the leader of the London Underground is swooning over his tutor while killer vampires are on the loose. Sounds chaotic, right? Oh, and there is some intense “air humping.” In this episode we highlight the importance of trust, familial bonds and chosen family, while also tackling the real monster: patriarchy. Mentions of pregnancy and limb loss.

This monster can be a prejudice, fear, insecurity, trauma and so on. We believe that romance novels are as much about one's personal journey as they are about finding love. After all, love makes us vulnerable and forces us to bare our monsters to another.
