Warning: This episode may cause sudden urges to buy wine, a vibrator, and a ticket to the nearest small town.

We’re getting down with Stephanie Napolitano author of Fall from Grace and baby, it’s not just the characters who are getting emotionally wrecked and absolutely railed. We talk missionary magic, pool table filth (yes, that scene), and why dirty talk is a love language. Stephanie spills on writing while her life was falling apart, letting her characters finish inside (and out), and why there’s zero room for shame in a steamy love story.

Come for the trauma. Stay for the trench coat. You’ve been warned.

FYI...
We get into:
🍑 Writing missionary like it’s a spiritual experience
💦 Dirty talk vs. primal groans (why not both?)
👨‍👧 The hot bartender single dad we’d let ruin us
🛁 The bathtub scene that’ll have your Kindle fogging up
🫠 Healing through heartbreak, fiction, and filth
🫣 The line Stephanie wrote that her family definitely read (oops)
🍷 Real talk on postpartum, divorce, and rediscovering your power

Plus, the real reason you should never Google Grace Harrington.

Audiobook baddies, this one's for YOU. 🎧

This week on Cocktails & Cliterature, we’re joined by the voice that’s been narrating your deepest, darkest romance fantasies the incomparable Stella Bloom.

She’s a two-time AudioFile Earphones Award winner and the voice behind fan faves by Laura Thalassa, Kristen Ashley, LJ Shen, and more… but today? She’s reading something brand new—a cold read of an original naughty excerpt written by Constance herself. 😈

Spoiler alert: it gets real steamy, real fast.

We talk narrator secrets, sexy storytelling, and what it takes to breathe life (and moans) into the stories we can’t stop binging.

🎧 Plug in, pour up, and press play, you’re not ready.
