In honor of Juneteenth, we’re turning the volume up on joy, freedom, and full-body yes energy with debut author Natasha Bishop.

Her book Only for the Week is more than spice, it’s a reclamation. Set in vibrant Tulum, this story blends second chances with unapologetic truth, sensuality with soul, and reminds us that Black women deserve epic love, deep healing, and a little chaos too.

Inside the episode:
💋 The freedom of writing morally messy women
🌺 How sensuality + healing collide on the page
🖤 Why found family matters when bloodlines betray you
🔥 Big D energy, monster romance, and one unforgettable main character (hello, Rome)
🍷 Plus, a delicious round of Would You Rather: Smut Edition

This one’s for every woman reclaiming her story and her pleasure with no apologies.

If you love bold convos, steamy reads, and women reclaiming it all—don’t just listen,

Cancel your plans and light a damn candle! We're going deep into cursed libraries, shadow tentacles, and book boyfriends who bite. This week on Cocktails & Cliterature, I’m joined by the radiant chaos queen herself, Analeigh Sbrana, author of Lore of the Wilds, the romantasy debut that’s got readers moaning over morally gray Fae and heroines who don’t play nice.

We talk seductive tension that makes your Kindle sweat, why Black girl magic belongs in every magical realm, and how Analeigh went from indie author to trad pub baddie with two chocolate Fae and a fantasy world that’s dangerously delicious.

Redacted smut for mom? Check. Shadow magic in your ass? Obviously. A dark Fae prince whispering “you’re mine”? Baby, that’s just chapter one.

Welcome back to Cocktails & Cliterature, where the drinks are strong, the books are filthy, and the vibes are always main character energy.

Today’s guest is none other than Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author and spell-slinger behind Reluctant Witch and Remedial Magic. We’re talking memory-erasing magic, morally gray witches, queer longing, and deliciously dangerous intimacy.

Melissa spills all: from writing orgasm-induced unconsciousness to navigating consent in sapphic romance, her real-life exhibitionist adventures, and the emotional weight of reclaiming power through story. This episode dives into the messy magic of healing, sexual agency, and living fully after trauma.

✨ Bonus: Sip & Strip returns with questions too hot for daytime TV and Melissa does not hold back.

Whether you're here for the spice, the softness, or the smarts, this one’s for you. Grab a drink (or a mocktail) and let’s get into it.

💋 Feeling seen? Feeling spicy? Then do your girl a favor, rate the show, tag us in your smut stack, and tell your group chat that Melissa Marr said “brunch with friends” is fair game.
