Seth and Aradia return from their break, on the eve of SpoilerCon2022, to cover a chapter that lives in infamy both in-world and in the fandom. Layered through some truly beautiful writing are some things that make us raise our eyebrows, and we conclude that the only good explanation is that this chapter had to do a lot to get past the censors. It is such a wanna-be romance chapter that we even end up on a whole tangent about the romance genre! See links below.

Henry and Jackie are joined by Kit Rocha, pseudonym for the author duo made up of Bree Bridges and Donna Herren, to get down and dirty as they discuss the artistic process behind authoring a blend of sci-fi, fantasy, and romance with a socially conscious message, the many ways to consume a bagel (and anger Twitter at the same time), and Henry tests out a few of his own erotic one liners.

We're back, friends! This week, we continue our Sector One adventures with Deacon (a book we all know should really have been called Ana!) We dig even deeper into last week's discussion of creating a theocratic community, as well as our love of Kit Rocha's reformed assassins and the alluring overlap between tattoo artists Del and Ace. It was a fantastic conversation, and we hope y'all listening to it as much as we did having it! Just a heads up: Chelsea's new little at-home helper/intrepid Beyond the Sectors Infant Correspondant makes the occasional contribution, but this should be the last episode in which that's an issue (god willing and the creek don't rise)!
Find our latest podcast on Podbean & iTunes! Ana and Chelsea continue to discuss the Beyond HEA vignettes Bree and Donna wrote for their Patrons. All these shorts take place before the Gideon Rider Books and discuss how Kit Rocha continues to expand the worldbuilding and relationships beyond the original HEAs.

Closing:(24:14)
This week, Cher, Preeti, and Courtney discuss the Wheel of Time casting news, squeal in terror and delight over the mysterious TV-headed delivery man, and bring their own deeply on-brand Avengers-based fan fic into the world. We also introduce our newest segment, Get Rec'd with Carly Lane and Kayleigh Donaldson, featuring the latest in SFF romance.And if you want to check out any of the books we chatted about, here's the full list!Year One by Nora Roberts (Chronicles of the One series);Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh (Psy-Changeling series);The Beyond series by Kit Rocha;Firelight by Kristen Callihan (Darkest London series);The Winter King by CL Wilson

Shortly after Shelley and Rachel are literally kicked out of Eden, they literally fall in the arms of a big, strong man who gives them safe haven inside the O'Kane gang. Will they learn to live and love free of doubt and shame, or will they return to the city and its stifling rules about propriety?
Finn & Trix's explosive second chance/reunion romance nearly tears the O'Kanes apart. Ana & Chelsea discuss how Kit Rocha combine high-octane action (pulse-pounding escapes, car chases, sneaky heists and armed stand-offs) with quiet emotional conflicts centered on the themes of addiction, acceptance, sacrifice, redemption and trust. Chelsea and Ana also talk about Zan, Ryder, Jade, Hawk, Mad, Jim Jernigan, Logan and Lili, how shocking it was to see things not go in the O'Kane's way for once, and how a war is undeniably coming.
Ana and Chelsea giddily discuss the tumultuous romance between the King and Queen of Sector Four. Dallas and Lex have been circling around each other for years, risk and desire in balance until an inflammatory tattoo changes everything. In Beyond Control, high-stakes negotiations, dangerous double-edged offers, secret vulnerabilities and big mistakes endanger Lex and Dallas relationship and the unity of the O'Kanes. Chelsea and Ana discuss the complications caused by the intersection of Dallas and Lex's public and private personas and just how close Dallas comes to destroying it all. Join us as we unpack what is private and what is political and how Kit Rocha keeps expanding the world of the O'Kanes and raising the stakes in Beyond Control. This is the book that made us both realize just how special this series is.
In this episode Chelsea and Ana talk about how they found the Beyond Series by Kit Rocha and discuss the first book in the series Beyond Shame. In Beyond Shame, Noelle Cunningham is cast out of Eden and finds not only sanctuary but love and family when she is rescued by Jas and the O'Kanes. Bree Bridges and Donna Herren, the writing duo behind Kit Rocha, lay the foundation of their ambitious post-apocalyptic SFR/Erotic Romance series, in Beyond Shame, introducing key characters, themes and sketching out the political arc of the series. Chelsea and Ana talk about their favorite characters, their love of the worldbuilding and politics of #thesectors turned them into #okanesforlife.
