June LeBlanc walked into the studio like she had a sword in one hand and your orgasm in the other.

Her debut romantasy, The Lioness in Winter, is filthy in the way that sneaks up on you, like, “Oh cute, fantasy politics” and then suddenly you’re reading a sex scene that makes your soul leave your body and your Kindle file self-destruct. We’re talking betrayal, power, pole dancing, and men who choke respectfully.

She choreographs her smut with her husband (yes, tested). And her characters? Can’t be left alone without someone getting railed against a pillar of ancient stone while the kingdom burns in the background. MM on side quests...we love to see it.

This episode is not safe. Not for work. Not for your group chat. Not for the part of your brain that used to care about plot. (It has lots of plot too)
