When we recorded this episode, we delayed because I was sick, then Foley was sick and the show went on… then I turned 30 and had two, TWO waves of surprised guests. And then I concussed myself. Those are my excuses for this being two weeks late! BEHOLD THEM!

But here we are — Conley, Brenna, and I chat Armchair Detective, and this is the episode where Brenna reads, out loud, with her voice, the (deliberately) worst sex scene we’ve read so far. We also announce the winner of our LadyLike Fiction Competition!

All right, we’re all ready for some unapologetic makeouts, so we went all in and chose a reader suggestion that self-identifies as erotica.  That’s how we roll at the LLBC.  Next month it’s Uncommon Romance, by Jove Belle!

Happily ever after doesn’t look the same for every couple.

In Raw Silk, happily married June and Ashlyn Phillips occasionally enjoy adding another dynamic to their sex life. When Katerina “Kat” VanderVort enters June’s office one day, she sets her sights on June. Lucky for her, Ashlyn loves to indulge her wife’s fantasies.

In On Her Knees, Simone Davies is finally happy. That is, until her chief tormentor and biggest crush, Abby Nelson, shows up at her firm’s holiday party. Together they struggle to forget the past and build a future together.

In Hollis, homicide detective Jude Lassiter pushes a little too hard, and her instructor at a FBI anti-terrorism training session, Special Agent Beverly Hollis, knows exactly how to punish her. Jude is all too willing to submit.
