Send us a textThis week on Cocktails & Cliterature, we’re getting all up in our feelings and our fantasies, with USA Today bestselling author Kristina Forest. She’s the high priestess of slow burns, the queen of soft Black love, and the reason we’re all simping over emotionally available R&B boys. We dive into on-page orgasms and slow burns that actually pay off, how music and grief shaped The Love Lyric, and why Angel Hughes is the grown-ass book boyfriend we deserve. Kristina opens up about the Black Romance Festival, writing softness for Black women, and closing the Greene Sisters era with a bang. PLUS, we play “Would You Rather” and “Sip & Strip” and trust us, things get explicit. If you love your romance with heart, heat, and a good forehead kiss, hit play.🎧 Hit play and get seduced by the slow burn. 📚 Grab your copy of The Love Lyric: https://bookshop.org/a/113714/9780593817100 💋 Love the episode?
