SPOILER WARNING Heads up, confessors — this is a SPOILER-HEAVY episode. We are deep into Flock by Kate Stewart, and Part 2 does not hold back. If you have not read the book and want to go in blind, save this episode and come back when you are emotionally prepared. Otherwise, pour a drink, settle in, and turn the page with us. The Book Title: FlockSeries: Book 1 of the Ravenhood TrilogyAuthor: Kate StewartSpice / Heat: PG-13 by smut master standards, but Chapter 25 is absolutely doing the mostTropes: Why-choose / multiple love interests, forbidden romance, enemies-to-lovers energy, secret society, small-town secrets, emotional damage, slow burn, age-gap tension, and one very complicated first-person narrator The Confession Welcome back to the feral little sister of Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads. In Part 2 of our very first Paperback Confessions episode, Dirty Skittles, Nacho, and G-Rex return to finish unpacking Flock by Kate Stewart, and let’s just say… things get messy fast. This episode is full of theories, chaos, questionable logistics, and emotional damage. We talk about the infamous lake scene, the floaty-versus-dock debate, and why Chapter 25 had us rereading, rewinding, and wondering how three people made that scene work when Leo could not even fit on the Titanic door. We also dig into Cecilia’s relationships with Sean and Dominic, the sunny-days-and-rainy-days dynamic, the Ravenhood secrets, and the moment everything starts to feel much bigger than a spicy summer romance. There is the garage scene that made us furious, the reveal that Cecilia may have been “the secret” all along, and that cliffhanger with the Frenchman that made us want to throw a Kindle across the room. Under all the spice and ridiculousness, we also get into the deeper stuff: loneliness, self-worth, manipulation, chosen family, red flags, consent, power, and what happens when a young woman with very little support gets pulled into a world she does not fully understand. Part 2 is chaotic, funny, spicy, emotional, and honestly a little rude — just like the ending of Flock.

Last week, we poured a Dominic-inspired Smoky Old-Fashioned, and honestly, that still feels right. Dark, complicated, intense, and probably a little dangerous. Just the Tip In our spicy segment, Just the Tip, we talk about the hottest scene in the book — and yes, we are absolutely talking about the lake scene. Was it a raft? A floating dock? A giant lake air mattress? A water bed with main-character energy? We may never know. What we do know is that Cecilia, Sean, and Dominic somehow made it work, and we had thoughts. A lot of thoughts. On our Halos to Handcuffs spice scale, G-Rex gave the scene a full handcuffs rating because sometimes a book scene is hot enough to make you go back and read it more than once. No shame. That is literally why we are here. What We Get Into The lake scene, Chapter 25, and the great floaty-versus-dock debateWhy three people could make that scene work when Leo still could not fit on the Titanic doorDominic, Sean, Cecilia, and the emotional logistics of a throupleSunny days with Sean and rainy days with DominicThe condom conversation and why the lake scene raised some questionsDominic buying Cecilia romance books and turning reading into foreplayThe Ravenhood tattoos, the secrecy, and Cecilia realizing something much bigger is happeningThe garage scene and why it felt emotionally brutalWhy Cecilia being “the secret” changes the whole storyThe Wolf, the Frenchman, and that cliffhanger endingWhy Exodus is already messing with our headsCecilia’s loneliness and why her choices are more complicated than they first appearOur unpopular opinions, plot-hole questions, and predictions for the rest of the trilogy Favorite Chaos Moments Dirty Skittles: “Dad, if you’re listening, now is the time to fast forward.” Dirty Skittles: “Why couldn’t we get Leo on that raft in the ocean, but Cecilia, Sean, and Dominic somehow manage to have a threesome floating in a river?” G-Rex: “I’m 62 years old. I don’t have time for edging.” G-Rex: “Cecilia’s not stupid. She’s just young, lonely, and under-informed.” Nacho: “I would be following my dick.” Our Rating G-Rex rated Flock a 4.5 based on the spice and the emotional chaos. Nacho and Dirty Skittles agreed that the book is absolutely worth the read, even if the spice level depends on where you are in your own smut-reading ...
