In this emotional and unforgettable episode of Ravished, hosts Nik and Donna dive deep into The Women by Kristin Hannah, and let’s just say… we were not prepared. From the very first pages, this sweeping story of courage, friendship, sacrifice, and resilience pulled us in completely. We laughed at the tender moments, cried through the heartbreak, and absolutely fell in love with the strength and complexity of these women.

Nik and Donna unpack the emotional weight of the Vietnam era, the often-overlooked stories of women who served, and the powerful themes of love, identity, and belonging that Kristin Hannah captures so beautifully. We share our favorite scenes, the moments that wrecked us (yes, tissues were involved), and why this novel will stay with us long after the final page. If you’re ready for a heartfelt conversation about a book that truly ravished us, this episode is for you.

On this episode of Ravished, Donna is joined by guest host Lauren as they step into the world of The Ravenhood Trilogy—where love is dangerous, loyalty is everything, and nothing is ever simple. Together, they’re breaking down the romance, the power dynamics, and the emotional twists that define this dark, addictive series. From swoon-worthy moments to controversial choices, they’re asking the big question: what makes The Ravenhood so unforgettable?

This week, we’re diving into the dark and twisted world of Verity by Colleen Hoover—and trust us, it’s not your typical romance.

From jaw-dropping plot twists to moral dilemmas that mess with your mind, Verity had us questioning everything.

*Trigger Warning* This episode discusses domestic violence in general terms.

Join Nik and Donna as they delve into unknown waters. They bring you a double review -- It Ends With Us (film) and It Starts With Us (book). Did we love/hate the love triangle and the traumatic experiences of Lily, Atlas, and Ryle? We briefly touch on the real-world drama that spilled into every news outlet regarding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Enjoy!
