23: Hate Sex with Sophie Jordan
We’re joined by Sophie Jordan to recap The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary—one of our favorite enemies-to-lovers romances of all time! It’s bonkers how fearlessly Kate pushes the characters to be mean to each other, all the while walking the tightrope of never making us hate either of them! Also—hate sex. So much exceptional hate sex.
Sophie’s latest, is The Rake Gets Ravished. I’m not going to try to do it justice…instead I’ll just drop this from the blurb and let you make the right choice: No one trifles with Silas Masters. Even if he could forget the dark-haired seductress who undid him, he can't allow anyone to steal from him. He will hunt down the sultry woman who haunts his dreams and show her just how sweet payback can be.
Her next book features a lady blacksmith and a spectacularly sexy cover and she told us seeccccretttts about it that we can’t tell you, but you can hear her mercilessly tease us at the end of the episode.
Our After Care suggestions were:
-Peacemaker on HBO
-The Last Kingdom on Netflix
-The Gilded Age on HBO Max
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
The Winter King by C.L. Wilson
Devil’s Day Party by C.M. Stunich
We’ll be back next week with Sarah Wendell from Smart Bitches, Trashy Books to recap A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon! Jenny was so delighted hearing about it that at one point Sarah (accurately) described her as an excited puppy.
As always, if you’re looking for more bonkers in your life, check out The Temple of Defiant Joy!
