Emotions & Potions: A love/hate letter to...

For this episode we are turning off the lights and embracing our questionable decisions as we dive into the BookTok phenomenon that had us asking "Should we be into this?" and us immediately answering "ummm...yes!?"

Join Ashtin and Alex as we discuss "Lights Out" by Navessa Allen, a dark rom-com featuring an ER nurse with a thing for masked thirst trap content creating hacker Josh. There is enough banter to make us laugh through all the stalking and spice. Around here we have opinions and questionable taste in fictional men.

After a little hiatus, we're back!!

Welcome back to Emotions & Potions: A Love/Hate Letter To... Wild Side by Elsie Silver. Same hosts, slightly different vibes, and still a lot to talk about.

SPOILERS AHEAD so make sure you've read the book because we are not holding back.

This one gave us Birthday Girl energy (our first episode) with the ex-boyfriend's dad, age-gap love interest, but definitely hits different. We get into Bash and Gwen's love story and all the moments in between that left us with questions.
Of course, we cast the characters but with a new twist, set the vibe with our potions of some calming and crown chakra opening lavender essential oil diffusing, sip on "The Wild Crown" (a lavender margarita), and check out the playlist we made for the book.
Chaotic, a little unhinged, and exactly how we’re coming back.
So, pick your potion and let’s get into it… because we've a lot of emotions to talk about.

Attention romance readers this episode is extra exciting and special.

In celebration of the Avon publishing release of "The Wall of Winnipeg and Me" we got to have a huddle with the queen of slow burn romance Mariana Zapata!! Not only do we dish about Winnipeg and many things Aiden and Vanessa, but got some insight into the chaos of writing and more unforgettable moments. We had lots of laughs along the way, possibly ruined an actor for Mariana if he doesn't get the opportunity to play Zach. It was an absolute delight and honor to speak with Mariana and hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

So if you haven't read "The Wall of Winnipeg and Me" what are you waiting for?! If football star and his assistant marriage of convenience romance doesn't do it for you, check out her catalogue of other works.
