Hi, all. Jen and Eric and I just wanted to take a minute at the top of this episode to thank you all

for being with us for almost three full seasons. And we are getting started thinking about season four.

We have a couple of really big ideas that we want to tackle in season four, but we also wanted to

hear a little bit from you.

So to that end, we are running a very short survey. It shouldn't take you any longer than

five minutes to fill it out. And we'd really appreciate it if you would visit ThetaMates.net

Or for some of you, there's a link right in the podcasting app. Thank you so, so much for listening,

and we are very, very grateful for all of you. That said, one more thing. I have a book coming out

next month. On August 24th, Bombshell is here. Bombshell is the first in my new Hells Bells

series about a Victorian-era girl gang and Cessley Talbot, who you will remember from some older books of mine, is back a badass bombshell of a hero who is not afraid to kick some ass and take some names and have some fun in the process. If you like a badass heroine, if you like a hero who is absolutely desperately pining for her,

if you like it when people get justifiably punched in the face, I think this might be a book that you enjoy.

We will have a deep dive episode on bombshell in August, and so you can pre-order it now

and be ready for it then. Thank you so, so much for reading, for listening. And now,

here's Nikki Sloan talking about taboo romance. We've been saying that we wanted to do this for like three years.

We've talked about, we've talked about Nikki Sloan's books on the podcast before.

So many times.

So many times because we can't stop.

Jen and I have texted about Nikki Sloan's books for years.

And here we are.

Nikki Sloan is with us.

Yay.

Hi, everybody. Hi, Nikki.
