Blush & Bindings

Wicked Pleasures After Dark

Season 1 Episode 13

In this special After Dark episode of Blush & Bindings, hosts Lindsey, Lauren, and Kacy explore the darker side of paranormal romance, a subgenre packed with mature themes, monstrous heroes and a whole lot of spice. They dig into the creatures of the dark, and highlight the desires for the misunderstood monsters and magical practitioners.

Unique to the After Dark episodes is the ‘Kink Connoisseur’ segment where your hosts discuss a specific kink or sexual preference in the romance book world. Although this segment may be in the After Dark episodes, it is important to differentiate kink and dark romance, while dark romance may favor the kinkier side of the genre, it does not own it. Kink heavy books may span all the subgenres of romance and are not explicitly tied to spicy scenes either. In this episode, they delve into exhibitionism and voyeurism discussing the unique ways these kinks are written within this subgenre. 

In the Book Club segment, they discuss the capacity to love despite physical differences, the draw of the reverse harem romance and the history of the female “condition” with the book club pick A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Karthyn Moon. Plus, don’t miss their top TBR recommendations for dark paranormal romance, and books featuring the kinks highlighted in the kink connoisseur segment. This is the final episode in the Wicked Pleasures Paranormal Romance Series. Up next is Affairs of Antiquity, exploring the world of Historical Romance. 


This episode contains mature themes and explicit content recommended for those who are 18+. Listener discretion is advised.
