21: Initiating Melody with Nisha Sharma
We’re joined by Nisha Sharma to recap The Initiation by Nikki Sloane!
This book had us all questioning who gave Nikki Sloane permission to write this and the answer is that she’s exactly the kind of brave author we started the podcast to celebrate. We revel in the intrigue, sexual tension, and (ahem) the ritual it eventually builds to. We bow down before Nikki Sloane.
Nisha’s latest is Dating Dr. Dil, a sexy, hilarious, clever reimagining of The Taming of the Shrew that turns it all on its head in the most brilliant way. If you’re a member of The Temple of Defiant Joy, also be sure not to miss the two bonus episodes we’ve done with Nisha because she gives the best bonkers recs!
Our After Care suggestions were:
-The Blindfold Club series by Nikki Sloane (currently, you can get the first three FREE as a boxset!)
-Write Better Faster by Becca Syme
-Encanto
If you’re reading ahead, here are some of the books we’ll be reading in upcoming episodes (though the schedule isn’t set yet):
A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon
Captive of the Horde King by Zoey Draven
The Winter King by C.L. Wilson
The Worst Guy by Kate Caterbary
We’ll be back next week with Juliette Cross to recap Captive of the Horde King! The first portion of the episode will be available publicly, but to hear the whole thing you’ll need to be a member of The Temple of Defiant Joy!
