…With Heart
We are: A woman-led, author-first romance platform. A place where joy, desire, and connection are celebrated.
We’re not: Another generic e-reader. An AI content farm. A place where authors are underpaid or overlooked.
Our Mission: To make joy, desire, and storytelling part of every woman’s daily life.
Our Values: Author respect, community collaboration, playful design, sustainable royalties, women-led leadership.
So velvety.
Spicy Snacks was built on one simple belief:
Tiny sparks of delight can change everything.
A letter from our founder.
I’ve spent the last 15 years working with women — as a teacher, coach, and creator. And I know this: most of us are carrying a backpack full of invisible weights. The task lists. The caregiving. The constant pressure to be productive.
Yes, we joke about the explosion of romance novels and needing “just a little something spicy,” but what we’re really craving is a moment.
A moment to exhale.
To step out of the pressure to perform.
To remember what it feels like to believe life is still full of possibility — that something thrilling could be just around the corner.
That’s what Spicy Snacks delivers.
Not another app to scroll.
But permission to pause — just for a moment — and savor a craveable microdose of the most potent medicine we have: a story.
This app started as a wild what-if idea that made me laugh out loud at my brain’s zany audacity… and it’s grown into an electric, soul-stirring collaboration with the most powerhouse women I have ever met.
Spicy Snacks is my love letter to the women of the world, and a reminder that: Joy isn’t frivolous. Desire isn’t silly.
And, when a woman remembers how to dream again, she doesn’t just change her day…
She changes her life.
