We’re joined by Sierra F*cking Simone to recap Ensnared by Tiffany Roberts! We discuss how bonkers books must fulfill the promise of the premise, how Jenny and Mel are consensual creeps, how Jenny is a spider kink hipster, and why this marvelous book sold a skeptical Sierra Simone on spider romance!
“A real bonkers romance doesn’t just have fearlessness in the premise, but the author doesn’t shy away from the terrifying thing they signed up to write.” -Sierra Simone
“The call of timidity is very strong. I can sometimes feel the temptation to take a safer path.” -Sierra Simone
