S1 E1 - My Fairy Godfather

After her mother dies, Ella is working as a cam girl in Fresno to keep a roof over her head. But then her fairy godfather appears: real estate tycoon and (apparently) her late father’s BFF, Callum Royal, who plucks Ella out of poverty and invites her to live in his Malibu mansion with his two teenage sons: two *hot* sons that turn out to be less-than-welcoming. Will Ella be able to stick it out in Malibu, or will these rich kids destroy her? Let’s find out...

S1 E2 - My Wicked Stepbrothers

The nightmare may just be beginning. Ella starts school at The Cove Academy and quickly feels like she’s sprung a trap. Let’s just say the school’s queen bee, Savannah, definitely packs a lethal sting. But that’s OK, because Ella has her fine-ass Royal step-brothers to protect her from these plastic mean girls, right? Wrong. In fact, The Royals may be her worst enemies. Will Ella be able to survive her first year in Malibu, or will she crumble like it seems everyone wants her to? I thought this was supposed to be a romance podcast. It feels more like a horror story.

S1 E5 - My Evil Ex-Stepmother

Ella and Savannah are about ready to kill each other. I assumed Ella could throw hands but it really is something else to experience it. Reed Royal, of all people, came to the rescue. It's a little dashing, not gonna lie. And if you thought Ella's day couldn't get any worse. Ella is presented with the chance to start over—again. Don't worry, she'll still be living in luxury. Remember ladies, always trade up. But something about the Royals keeps her reeled in. And it's not just Dinah's creepy mid-day pajamas. Yeah, something tells me Ella plans on sticking around the Royals. Unless this love triangle blows up and Ella gets voted off the island. Why have one Prince Charming when you could have two?

Does it count as a Walk of Shame if nothing happened? Because Reed dropping Ella on the side of the road after the party was just that. Harsh. In better news: Ella and Easton are starting to bond.

So Ella decides to focus on what she does best: working, by getting a job at the local coffee shop. Because there’s nothing a latte can’t fix, right? Well, we’ll see about that...

S1 E8 - A Devil Named David

A note: This episode does reference intimate partner violence, and we know that can be triggering for some listeners. So take breaks if you need to and remember that your mental health should always be the priority. We love you all and hope you like this episode. If Reed can flirt with other people, Ella sure as hell can too. But is “nice-guy” David really as nice as he seems? Reed, Savannah...David.

Before Ella can even begin to process what to do about Isaac and Reed, she must get through her exams. (Never let boys get in the way of your studies ladies and gents!).
