This episode of the Please Me! Podcast features a deep, intimate conversation with dark romance author Bria Rose, celebrated for her seductive, emotionally rich, and morally gray fairy-tale retellings. Together, we explore how trauma, healing, sexuality, empowerment, and feminine archetypes shape her storytelling and the dark, alluring worlds she creates. Bria opens up about the inspiration behind Her Dark Promise, her twisted Beauty and the Beast retelling, while offering exclusive insight into her upcoming dark Pinocchio retelling and a new morally gray romance currently in development. We also discuss her Disney upbringing, how innocence and darkness intertwine in adult fantasy, and why readers crave complex, flawed, emotionally intense characters. This episode includes a raw, vulnerable role-play segment delving into boundaries, relationships, communication, desire, self-worth, erotic identity, and reclaiming feminine power. Perfect for listeners who adore dark romance, romantasy, adult fairy-tale retellings, erotic storytelling, and trauma-informed character development.
