16: Catching Feelings | Catching Lightning by Kayleigh King and Greer Rivers

We've left bad boy summer behind and are ready to fall in love with this week's pick! Catching Lightning by Kayleigh King and Greer Rivers is a sweet, college football romance that gives us major heart eyes. Hudson is every bit of white-picket-fence and we loved covering this cute romance that brought up a lot of great topics. Before we get into it, we play a fun game of Ick or Like (hint: not many likes). 
Join us next week as we dig into Reckless Love by Nichole Greene (which we are high-key obsessed with). As always, follow along on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. See you next week!

15: Killer Time | God of Malice by Rina Kent

The ending of bad boy summer has finally come and we are going out with a b-a-n-g!! God of Malice by Rina Kent is dark and twisted romance about a true psychopath and the girl he falls for. If you're looking for a sweet and blissful love story, please look elsewhere since this will not be the story for you. But if you're looking for a dirty talking psycho... look no further. What a better way to end bad boy summer than with Killian, the absolute epitome of a bad boy. 
As always, follow along with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. For the next month, we're heading back to school with campus/academy romances, starting off with Catching Lightning by Kayleigh King and Greer Rivers.

14: Twisted Panties | Twisted Lies by Ana Huang

We're back from our little vacation and feeling twisted! This week's episode catches you up on what we've been doing and what we're reading, and also which man from the Twisted series we'd prefer to ravage us. Do praise kinks come from the need for academic validation? How many blowjobs is the right number of blowjobs? Tune in for more hard-hitting takes from us this week on the Spice Rack!
As always, follow along with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. We'll see ya next week!

13: Thrice as Nice | Give Me More by Sara Cate

Buckle up besties, because it's finally time for a throuple! In the pride month pick we searched high and low for, Give Me More explores a MFM relationship *heavy* on the spice. Before we get into it: do your exes watch your Instagram? What book bender should we go on next? Which sex club should Emily visit?
Next week, we are taking a break to enjoy the 4th of July with our families, but have no fear that we will be back on July 11. As always, follow along with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. 

12: In the Name of the Father... | Priest by Sierra Simone

Em and Sav are back at it this week and we are taking y'all to the alter! Priest by Sierra Simone follows the story of Father Tyler Bell and... well, you can guess where this is going. This is a taboo romance (that we loved every bit of). Before we get into it, we catch you up on what we're reading, some fun book news, and a little game from TikTok. This story has a *lot* of spice, so join us as we recap the spice and our favorite moments from Father Bell. No one better to be god-tier than a priest who talks to the Big Guy himself. 
Join us next week as we visit the Salacious Player's Club with Sara Cate's newest release, Give Me More. As always, follow along with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod (but really, Emily has been dropping some fire TikToks recently). See you next week!

11: Still ISO a Mafia Man | Code of Silence by Shantel Tessier

We're back in the mafia today with Code of Silence by Shantel Tessier! Before we get into it, we discuss the books we've been reading, It Happens One Summer movie, and catch up on life. Code of Silence is a very dark mafia romance featuring our main man Luca, who is *possessive*, *aggressive*, and obviously God-Tier. This is a second-chance, forced marriage, spicy romance with plenty of family drama to go around. Code of Silence also kicks off the Dark Kingdom series, so if you liked this one make sure you check out the rest of Shantel Tessier's work! 
Speaking of God-Tier.... join us next week as we finally bathe in the holy water that is Priest by Sierra Simone. 
As always, keep up with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. See you next week!

10: A Million Blow Pops in your Lifetime | A Million Kisses in your Lifetime by Monica Murphy

Welcome back to another episode of the Spice Rack and this week we were getting sweet... until Crew brought out the blow pops and now we're all hot and sticky??? A Million Kisses in your Lifetime by Monica Murphy is a perfect blend of love and spice, with a little high school drama sprinkled in. Dare we say: it did indeed live up to the hype. We will never be over the blow pop scene and please do not try this at home. (I mean you can... just think about your PH ok?)
We also recap the book bender we've been on this past week and answer some fun listener questions! Emily is looking for acceptable suitors to break her dry spell. If you or someone you know is interested, please email Sav at thespicerackpod@gmail.com.
As always, thanks for listening and helping us get to our 10th episode!! Follow along with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. See you next week for Code of Silence by Shantel Tessier!

9: Knox Me Up | Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score

Our bad boy summer road trip is heading to Knockemout this week as we cover Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score. Em is feeling *very* philosophical this week, so we dig deep into the psyche of a small town man on this episode. You've been dying for a small town romance, so enjoy this one (because there are very few we actually like). 
For the first time ever, we declared the book for next week before we'd read it... which we will never be doing again. Next week's episode will cover A Million Kisses In Your Lifetime by Monica Murphy instead of what we announce at the end of this episode (*wink wink*). 
As always, follow along with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. See you next week!

8: A Whole New Meaning to God Tier | A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair

We're visiting the underworld this week, besties! Scarlett St. Clair's underworld to be exact, where we make a deal with Hades and have to pay up. A Touch of Darkness is the first in a three book series retelling our favorite dark god, Hades. This book has it all: mythology, tension, banter, and drama. Sav subtly flexes her greek mythology knowledge this week by helping pronounce god/goddess names. Also, have you noticed that we keep covering books where the woman gets captured???? Emily's dream come to life tbh. 
Bad boy summer continues next week as we head to Knockemout and get into small-town trouble with Knox from Lucy Score's Things We Never Got Over. As always, follow along on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod. See you next week!

7: Four Snakes Walk into a Bar... | Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight

Four snakes walk into a bar and the rest is history, besties. This week we are covering a modern classic, Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight. To honor Emily's first reverse harem, we breakdown the logistics of a reverse harem, each of the vipers, and we even build our own reverse harem. We also have a special listener story to share for the first time on the pod! 
Next week we're visiting the underworld with A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair. As always, thank you for listening and follow along with us on Instagram and TikTok @spicerackpod
