Summary:
Let's talk female masturbation, mental health awareness, and of course, food! Authors Skye McDonald (The Anti-Belle series) and Sarah Smith (Faker, Simmer Down) join Kelly to discuss their platonic love story, mental health awareness in romance novels, and of course, female masturbation.

Together, they host the Quick & Dirty Romance Podcast (also part of the Frolic Podcast Network), and now, they’ve joined forces to write their first romance together, Sips & Strokes under the nom de plume, Sarah Skye.
