  Episode #22

  Welcome to Oro’s Rock of Love

  Dec 11, 20241h 22mS1

  <p>In today’s episode, Elsa forces Chris to read the first almost spicy scene between Isla and Grim as we explore memories of a love forgotten. …Or at least a love erased from Isla’s memory until the untangling of her powers leads her to dream of her past with our favorite Shadow Daddy.</p><p>Meanwhile in the present Oro teaches us that love is blindfolding your partner and hurling rocks at them. Seriously, it’s better than sex.</p><p></p><p>📖 Ask Us Questions 📖</p><p>NGL: https://ngl.link/novelideas</p><p></p><p>📖 Support Novel Ideas 📖</p>...
