    80. No Bones About It

    10/05/2026 | 1h 40 mins.
    Welcome back WITS listeners! This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss No Bones About It by Cassandra Elizzabeth.
    WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
    We start off this week discussing the NHL's new romance marketing campaign. While Kay understands some of the pushback.... as a hockey girlie, she's all in. This week's book does not paint HOA's in a good light, but we are very much on the side of letting people do what they want if it brings them joy. Kay's biggest problem with a relationship between a 12 foot skeleton and a human woman is kissing with all teeth, and the fact that the skeleton uses emoji eyes and charades to communicate. Also, we have yet another outrageous google search in real time.
    Overall, Kay gave this ⭐⭐, although if there had been a few chapters from the skeleton's perspective, it probably would be higher because the writing was really good. Elle liked it a bit more and rated it ⭐⭐⭐.

    79. My Date with a Pair of Grey Sweatpants

    09/28/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    Welcome back WITS listeners!
    This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss another installment of the "my date with..." potluck, My Date with a Pair of Grey Sweatpants by Dakota Cockaday.
    WITS Smut Scale: 🐙/🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙 (questionable dubcon elements?)
    Smutverse news is the frightening reality of the direction of AI. Kay thinks that the world seems to be operating like a big game of Who's Line is it Anyway? This week's book has an interesting premise. Elle was mad that the FMC wasn't doing more research on the man that she was dream visiting, like we should all be doing in the present day dating world. Kay thinks that dream walking is a real thing, and Elle's analytical mind is never going to agree with that.
    Overall, we both gave this ⭐⭐.5. The premise was great, we wish she had more time to fully develop it.

    78. Tempting the Trad Wife Toaster Oven

    09/21/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    Welcome back WITS listeners!
    This week, join Elle and Kay while we discuss Tempting the Trad Wife Toaster Oven by Buffy Bennet.
    WITS Smut Scale: 🐙
    Good news only in the smutverse this week. As promised, the link for the preorder of C.M. Nascosta's book can be found here. As always, theres a mid-episode Google search and we discuss whether or not doctors actually used early forms of vibrators to cure hysteria. A scene involving food didn't immediately make Elle want to throw her kindle across the room, and there was the perfect amount of plot and world building for a book of this length.
    Overall, Elle loved this one, giving it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ while Kay also really liked it, coming in slightly lower at ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

    77. Rake

    09/14/2026 | 48 mins.
    Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay as we discuss Rake by Nicole Parker.
    WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙.5
    More discussion on censorship starts off our smutverse news this week. For the PEN America efforts to stop book bans, use this link here. We were hopeful that by reading book 1 in the Kyleverse that we would have more information to fill in some gaps from Wrapped that we had read last year... we were wrong. The word rake should definitely make a comeback in regards to describing men, but the individual in this book served his sentence for being one. We're also a little bit impressed with how on board Kyle is with whatever situation he is presented with. We also get another example of "you need to know someone before you eat at their house."
    Overall Kay gave this ⭐⭐⭐, while Elle rated this a little lower at ⭐⭐.

    76. Rubber Duckie Shifter Next Door

    09/08/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    Welcome back WITS listeners!! This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Rubber Duckie Shifter Next Door by Mia Harlan.
    WITS Smut Scale: 🐙
    This week, we start with a very hot topic discussion of whether or not an author should be allowed to replace their book to change from open door to closed door romance, and a much bigger question of do we ever own digital media. We discuss how we love some plot in our smut, but the back story of this one went hardddd. Kay loves a next door neighbor trope, but a little bit of the insta-love has us taking a step back. We learn that Kay likes to be a passenger princess, and that Elle could care less who drives. We do kind of wish that there was a rubber duck themed water park near us though.
    Overall, both Kay and Elle gave this ⭐. There was a little too much going on for a novella, even though the idea was really cute.
