Hey everyone, welcome back to Heaving Busms, the podcast where great pals recap romance novels

while bowing down to the stratospheric talent of authors who write books that manage to be

bonkers, timely, super hot, poignant and hilarious all at the same time.

We've got a lot going on over on the Patreon. By signing up, you get access to over 150 bonus

episodes, most of which feature Erin, discount codes to our Etsy shop for all your St. Vincent needs,

author hangs, like we just had with Talia Hibbert and Nisha Sharma. Oh, and the rest of my

recap of a court of silver flames is coming out in the next few weeks. Plus patrons are currently

voting on our next reading list choices. It's a lot. That's patreon.com forward slash Heaving

Busms podcast. This week though, oh my god, I'm so excited because Naima Simone is back. We're

recapping her favorite book in Finley Fence Ork's Warren series. Before we dive in though,

I do need to highlight some trigger warnings because this book either deals with or inspired

conversations between Naima and I about the freedom of choice abortion specifically,

loss of a pregnancy, harmful doctors visits, and self-harm specifically cutting.

So if you think any of those topics wouldn't be good for you right now, feel free to opt out of

this episode. We will be here for you when you get back. I will say though, there's a lot of

cackling and buckets of cum, so you know, we do our best to balance the heavy stuff out.

We did accidentally talk about this book for close to four hours, so this is going to be part one

of our two part series on The Midwife and The Ork by Finley Fen.

Okay, before we get into anything else, there's a story I want to tell you. Okay, go ahead.

This is a valor special, so we've got three nights of ridiculousness from valor, okay? Because

Ember sleeps like me, which means that he sleeps hard, he sleeps dead, he could wake up,

turned around completely on the bed and have no idea how he got there, he was my kid that way.
