We’re joined by Lillian Lark to recap Manix by Grace McGinty!

Lillian brought us an omegaverse, mpreg, warrior cat shifter book—with knotting! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or you just went on a google adventure looking up those terms, this episode should delight you.

Be sure not to miss Lillian’s latest, Deceived by the Gargoyles, a monster romance which also features knotting, breeding, and multiple hot gargoyles with a curvy librarian!

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):

The Initiation by Nikki Sloane

Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux

A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K Hamilton

We’ll be back next week to recap Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux with Kenya Goree-Bell! If you want more bonkers in the meantime, there’s a ton of bonus content in cyan-l9mk.squarespace.com/temple-information">The Temple of Defiant Joy!
