We're back! After our impromptu week off, we're back! And as a "thank you" for your patience, we brought a banger of a book: Sins and Secrets, the second book in the Four Families series by Meg Fitzpatrick. If you wanna know what it would be like if the Golden Girls ran crime families, this series is for you! Visit her website (linked below) and use promo code CHEAPSMUT for 15% off any book in the Four Families series! Book Description Waverly was never cut out for the family business. While her relatives break laws, she breaks the mold as a quirky, sunshine-loving researcher with no interest in the mafia lifestyle. That’s fine, she would rather bury herself in research instead of burying bodies anyway. But when her best friend’s wedding threatens to expose the embarrassing tattoo, she’s in need of an emergency cover-up. The last person she expected to help? Lukas, her best friend’s grumpy brother and the boy who broke her heart years ago. Lukas has worked hard to build a life and career that his emotionally distant family won’t approve of. When he reluctantly agrees to cover up Waverly’s tattoo, he’s prepared for a quick fix—not the flood of old feelings. They had a secret romance back in the day, but it all fell apart. Now, forced into proximity by the wedding, they can’t escape their unresolved past or the undeniable chemistry between them. As the wedding draws near, Lukas’ gruff walls begin to crumble, revealing a softer side that Waverly can’t resist. And Lukas? He sees the opportunity to pick up where they left off and make Waverly his, forever. With her dangerous family enemies closing in, old secrets resurfacing, and wedding bells looming, Waverly and Lukas have one chance to rewrite their story. Can they risk it all for a second shot at love, or will their tangled worlds tear them apart once again? Filled with banter and humor, love and forgiveness, this is not your typical mafia romance. She was always a good girl, until she became HIS Good Girl. Triple T's Triggers: Mafia and organized crime, and all associate violence, guns, drugs and overdose, tattoos/needles, stalking, threats of bodily harm/threats with a firearm by former romantic partners. Tropes: F/M CIS/HET, Grumpy/Sunshine, Second Chance romance, Best friend’s brother (it’s complicated), Mafia romance, tattoo romance. Titillations: Dom/Sub dynamics, BDSM, restraint with hands and tools, sensation play, deep throating, praise & degradation, costumes. So...What Are You Into?

As a special addition to Sinful September, we are pleased to re-release our episode covering Glitch by Briana Michaels. We covered Glitch way back on episode 16, but we had the pleasure of meeting Briana at Sinful Signings this past weekend, so we thought we'd drop this one back into the feed for all of the new listeners we met at Sinful, as well as any new listeners who may not have gone that far back into the catalog. Book Description GlitchI’m obsessed with a woman I’ve never met. Hell, I’ve never even seen a picture of her, unless you count the cartoon avatar she displays during our online gaming nights. To Ara, I’m a quiet gamer who keeps a chat open in case she wants to vent about her day or her loser boyfriend. She has no clue who I am, what I look like, or that she’s the star in the filthy audio recordings I create for my personal pleasure.When we finally meet face-to-face, I already know Ara’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman and there’s nothing I won’t do to have her. To keep her. To satisfy her. I just hope she can handle my intensity because I’m not going to hold back.And no one else better stand in my way.AraGlitch rules my thoughts and plays a recurring role in my dirtiest fantasies. When we finally meet, he’s nothing like I expected. He’s better. My mind short-circuits the instant he touches me. And when he says my name in his incredibly deep voice? Panty. Meltdown.After my last relationship, I’ve been shy about starting something new. But Glitch makes me want to take this leap and there’s no denying how badly I want him. There’s just one itsy bitsy problem: my carnal appetite is insatiable. Will Glitch be able to keep up or will he shut me down once he learns what I like and how often I like it?

Cassie Sinclair. My Cassie. My life is exactly how I want it. Finally. Living in a downtown condo. View of the ocean for miles. It’s my happy place. Well, as happy as one can be when you’ve resigned yourself to a life of seclusion. It’s easier this way. Is it kind of lonely here all by myself? No. Do I sometimes wish I had a companion to share my life with? Also, no. I’m content.

This week we get a little help from our friends thanks to Sinful Signings "Sinfluencer" Katie Hurd! She joined Katie and Carl to guide them through a tale of a demon dom daddy and his quest to capture the heart (but mostly soul) of his latest reaping target. Give us a listen as Katie covers Sinful Demands by P.S. Nail while Carl grits his teeth through a rather prickly peen description. Book Description: The smell of my success thick in the air as another human manages to break their contract. It clearly states for eternity. Considering it was his daughter’s life he waged, I guess he wasn’t overly concerned. Bound by blood, her soul is now mine. The sweet scent that’s seeping from her pores fills my lungs. It’s the fear she is pretending not to show. Usually, I’m not attracted to any human entity, but I am inexplicably drawn to her. She thinks I don’t know her soul is tainted like mine. I’m going to break it open and take a peek at the hidden evil buried deep inside, but not before she pays for her father’s debt. She’s filled with too much pride to fulfill an obligation to a demon. I’ll strip that away as well. Either she meets my sinful demands or spends eternity wishing she did. TRIGGERS: explicit language, alcohol consumption, gambling and drug addiction, murder, betrayal by a parent, coercion, persuasion, sexual assault/rape (in the past, off-page), pregnancy, adoption, explicit sexual content including: unprotected sex, edging, spanking, choking, and dubious consent.

He needs it for a spell, but it feels like it crosses a line from their usual workplace banter.After her contributions to his dark rituals become more than OSHA compliant, she starts to contemplate whether the Lich Lord returns her feelings, or still only sees her as his secretary. Lily may have given him her body, but he never asked for her heart.

Book Description Things are finally looking up for thirty-five year old Jackie Miller. She’s scored her dream job as head pâtissier at the top restaurant in the country, she’s going to propose to her girlfriend, and she’s flexing her creative muscle with a showpiece dessert that will blow the socks off of the Seattle food scene. Or so she thinks. When she meets a hellish princess in an explosive mishap, her whole life gets flipped upside down, and Jackie has to figure out how to juggle an unexpected breakup, an unexpected houseguest, and some unexpected feelings which might just lead to heaven on earth. TRIGGERS: cheating (not within the main couple), misogyny in the workplace, demons and Hell, discussions of sin, and alcoholism. TROPES: sapphic (F/F) romance, rom-com, portal fantasy-adjacent, and line-cook romance. TITILATIONS: explicit lesbian sex, fisting, tail sex, anal sex, breath play, consensual erotic asphyxia, and kink. So...What Are You Into?

Katie called an audible this week and opted to break out a space-faring insta-love courtesy of Naomi Lucas. Join us this week for Cyborg Pool Boy and ponder the vastness of space, where no on can hear you scream. Or moan. Book Description What could a fabulously wealthy heiress possibly do when an alien monster takes up residence in her pool? Call a Cyborg Monster Hunter, obviously. OBVIOUSLY. Little did she know that she just hired a monster to take out another monster. CONTENT WARNING: sci-fi violence, excessive galactic wealth.

We're back from our week off with Dana Sweeney's sexy sci-fi scorcher Lust For Tomorrow! If you think that there's no time to bone down in a zombie apocalypse, please let the characters in this book swiftly and frequently disabuse you of that notion. Book Description Submission is freeing… Love is a trap.Pacific Northwest Writers Association Finalist for Best Romance, 2023I’ve never seen his face. But I ache to feel his body.My fellow soldiers call him Alpha. It’s an insult, mocking his macho bravado, his aggressive arrogance. I’ve heard the snark, seen the rolled eyes. Alpha. It’s a joke. But when I hear him speak…His rich, deep voice. His lush British accent… I guess the joke’s on me.Since the zombies came, civilization fell, and new social structures arose, I’ve known that my independence relies on my disinterest in any particular man. The powers that be haven’t resorted to forced procreation… at least not yet; they still expect we’ll fall in love and walk into the trap willingly.My resistance requires that I avoid emotional connections. My existence requires that I avoid distractions, that I stand and fight. But every time this man speaks, I want to fall to my knees, offer myself to him. However he’ll have me.Lust is a distraction I can’t afford, but it’s not love. As long as I don’t fall in love, I’m safe. And who could possibly fall for Alpha? CONTENT WARNING: Lust for Tomorrow is a dystopian sci-fi romance. There is a zombie apocalypse underway, so there will be some discussion of loss and danger. Not everyone who has survived so far in this dangerous world is a very good person; there is an implied threat of sexual assault (not by the hero) and some discussion of this as a societal concern. There are themes of reproductive rights, ableism, gender equality, and LGBTQ equality. SEX CONTENT: There is a lot of sex in this book, all with explicit and enthusiastic consent. The hero is dominant, and the heroine is submissive. Activities include fellatio (with deep throating and swallowing), cunnilingus, vaginal sex, anal sex, fisting, and a threesome (MFM) with double penetration. So...What Are You Into?

Join us for this month's Author Profile and get to know the delightful Bjorn Wilde! We discuss the origins of his pen name, his unique approach to first drafts, and his long-gestating desire to drive a bus! Bjorn's Website Our Linktree Music: "Nostalgia" by Makaih Beats freemusicarchive.org

Thanks to another great recommendation (this time courtesy of friend of the show Gwendolyn Harper), this week we're mixing two of our favorite tropes: gay hockey players and monstrous main characters! Join us as we revel in the sexy fun of Puck and Plume by Rhea Fox, the first book on the show to make Carl openly declare that he would eat one of the main characters. Book Description NATE I could've done without falling asleep in the middle of a Bavarian forest and being startled awake by a massive dude with a mohawk and a beak. Seriously, why did he wait for me to wake up and free him from the stupid trap my teammates told me to set up? They said I'd catch a mythical creature that would take me to its treasure. He introduces himself as Vee and says, now that I’ve caught him, he’s my mate. What the heck? I don't want a mate with a beak, no matter how awesome his butt is or how much I want to use his cushy pecs as pillows. When he brings me into the heart of the woods, I'm afraid he'll hurt me, but thank goodness for Vee, who takes care of me. Now I just need to make it through the night without getting frisky with the chicken dude who rescued me. VITUS I can't believe I got stuck in that dumb trap, especially when it's just a flimsy net on a dying branch. The guy snoozing against the oak across the way put it up. I didn't even need to see the Greek letters on his old shirt. He was the embodiment of an American frat boy. Tourists... They always underestimate the power of Bavarian beer. I'm tempted to let him sleep. There's another part of me that's trying really hard to ignore how hot he is. I don't even like being around people and trying my best to avoid them. Taking Frat Boy home with me sucks, but I don't really have a choice. He's too drunk to get very far without freezing, and I can’t go against the oath I took as a Forest Ranger.

Our listeners make the best recommendations! Listener Tia E. recommended Leigh Miller's Nora's Kraken to Katie, and it immediately checked all of her favorite boxes: monster smut, cozy vibes, and a sweet cinnamon roll of an MMC. Oh, and the opportunity to make Carl squirm with tentacle talk! Book Description: I didn’t flee one monster just to be claimed by another.When the Monster Relations Bureau tells me I've been identified as a kraken shifter's mate, my first instinct is to run. I learned the hard way what it means to be treated like someone’s possession, and I’m not about to make the same mistake twice.Only, Elias is… different. Patient and careful with me, willing to wait as long as it takes for me to let him in. The more I learn to trust him, and the more he draws me under with the dark temptation of his touch, the more the defenses I’ve held onto so long start to crumble.Still, he’s not the only monster I’ve dealt with. And when the human monster from my past finally catches up with me, I’ll have to decide if I trust Elias enough to let him help me, protect me, claim me as his, even though being possessed has only ever left me broken and afraid.

At the end of last week's episode, Katie refrained from giving us the name of this week's book, lest she spoil anything. In retrospect, she made the right call, because going blind into Holly Wilde's Earthed really is the best way to experience this absolutely bananas book! Hell, I'd even recommend blowing right past the book description below! Book Description Meet Celeste, the brilliant anthropologist who discovers that our planet is in trouble. The world isn't what it seems, in fact, it's bigger and thicker than we could have ever imagined. Not to mention, it's about to explode. The only way to save our world is for Celeste to journey beyond the stars and transform into a giant woman. As she explores the vastness of space, she discovers a love as immense as the universe itself: a passionate bond with none other than the Earth. Prepare for an out of this world experience when you read "Earthed". CONTENT WARNING: ongoing discussion of the slowly dying planet, incredible liberties being taken with basically all scientific and physical truths of the universe and the planet itself.

Katie thought she'd just be able to dip her toe into Bjorn Wilde's Scared Stiff series, but she ended up getting hooked and reading all four books! We originally set out to just cover the first two books (which make up the bulk of the episode), but since the books were so breezy and fun, we opted to cover almost the entire series! (Can't spoil the ending!) Book Description For a gay trio camping in the woods, an escaped ax murderer really kills the mood.It’s been years since best friends Nick, Levi, and Jamal have been camping at Devil’s Ridge, but a return to their old stomping grounds sounds like just the retreat they need.Burnt out by the rat race of the city, the three bros reunite for a weekend of getting back to nature. Just three dudes, the woods, and quality male bonding…what could go wrong?More than they expected, thanks to an escaped homicidal maniac straight out of an ’80s horror flick. Things are about to get campy in more ways than one. So...What Are You Into?

Listener (can we call you "listener"?), when we tell you that neither of us were prepared for The Frog Prince, we are telling you that even in recounting this book to Carl, Katie was not ready to REVISIT it. With the fourth book of The Darvel Exploratory Systems series, SJ Sanders has crafted a smutty speculative sci-fi slice-of-life novella that is (sometimes almost literally) overflowing with originality! Thank you to listener Seneca O. for this recommendation! Book Description No one ever said that be a non-gratas was easy, but neither did they say that there was a possibility of becoming a genetic experiment to the benefit of Darvel Exploratory Corporation. When Gwen Brody woke up with amphibious genetic and surgical modifications to help her survival chances on Xal2614 it was bad enough, but living with it and having the pressure from her mission partner to fulfill more intimate parts of their mission to sustain data gathering beyond their lifetimes was another.Yet, when her partner mysteriously disappears into the swampy environment into which they were sent, Gwen has a new problem when an alien shows up at her door singing his courting songs and triggers a heat that she can’t escape or ignore.The Frog Prince is a 20k sci-fi romance novella set in the Darvel Exploratory systems universe and inspired by the fairytale The Frog Prince with graphic sex.

In honor of the start of baseball season, Carl takes the reins this week and tells Katie the tale of two ballplayers in love! Join us for One True Outcome by KD Casey and bask in the heat of summer days at the park and summer nights with one very sexy pair of teammates! Book Description: A veteran player on a new team. The rookie who hero-worshiped him growing up. The unwritten rule they're about to break. Everyone knows you don't fall for a teammate. Especially the rookie you're supposed to mentor. Tell that to Matt “Big Mack” Mackenzie though. Now at the tail end of his career, the one-time superstar takes an offer from the only team willing to give him a shot. The hook? The job includes extra practice sessions with the team’s rookie catcher. The tempting, smart-mouthed Jamie DeLuca, who Mack really shouldn’t think about that way. And he definitely shouldn’t agree to after-hours video review sessions with. The sky’s the limit for Jamie, if only he can keep his spot in the lineup. But the rookie’s on the verge of being cut. If he wants to stay on a big league roster that’ll mean extra work—and extra time with Big Mack. The guy he fantasized about playing like growing up. And then just fantasized about. Mack’s nothing like Jamie’s fantasies. He’s better. If only Jamie could keep his attraction to the charming, generous veteran under wraps. Easier said than done, especially when the heat between them ignites. But nothing in baseball comes with a guarantee—and the only outcome they can be certain of is the one they make for themselves. CONTENT WARNINGS:  discussion of prior parental death due to cancer (off-page) and medical debt; on-page depictions of anxiety and chronic pain due to injury including ableism; casual drug use/drinking; power differential between characters (which is discussed and negotiated as part of the story); age gap; brief discussion of structural homophobia that does not involve slurs.

This week we're celebrating fifty episodes of Cheap Smut by bringing Josh Fekete back for book three in C. Rochelle's Villainous Things series, Putting Out For a Hero, and good god was it ever a blast! Tune in as all three of us nearly hyperventilate from laughter and marvel at the machinations of the magnificent Suarez clan! Book Description: Baltasar It’s time for me to start pulling my weight in the Suarez clan—to prove I’m worth more than the plays I make on the field or the dirt I dig up on rival families. I want to make Wolfy proud. And not get unalived by Simon. So I volunteered what I had to offer, knowing my infamous genes could be used for uniting two powerful clans in marriage. After all, I’m the only not-gay one in my family, so that alone should entice the super-babes looking to get busy with baby-making. I mean, as long as they don’t ask me to do math or anything. But the last supe I expected Wolfy to match me with was the ice queen hero herself, Dahlia Salah. She's not bad, but her brother is my former Deathball rival, and the only one on the planet who can make me Hulk out with a single snarky word. All I have to do is keep my eye on the prize and ignore this weird tension between Zion and me. I’ve totally got this. Zion I never would have guessed Baltasar Suarez would be the man to lock down my sister. But shady business deals are what make our world go ‘round, and Dahlia sealed her fate when she went up against the leaders of his clan—as if she were destined for our legendary throne instead of me. Not that I've been interested in wearing the crown. Not after everything that happened. Without Deathball to distract me, I spend most of my time keeping my daughter safe and happy, even though her mother is gone and my parents treat her like an outcast. Otherwise, I’ve just been… existing. Until Baltasar showed up, as tempting as ever—reminding me of all I’ve lost, and everything I’ve ever wanted. Everything I can never have. Or can I? My beast—my true supe form—has already decided the villain is ours, so why not remind my backstabbing family that everything under this roof is destined to belong to me? Starting with him.

Join us as Katie walks us through Claimed By the Cthulhu by Wendi Gogh, and you'll all about that horny misadventure, as well as the perils of having a detachable penis. Book Description:MONSTER SPEED DATING—sounds fun, right? Except my life as a marine biologist takes a slippery turn when I mistake a cthulhu for an octopus, only to find him seated across from me on date night. Now, every time I turn around, he’s there. Watching. Winking. Waiting until I succumb to his charm. But I’m not ready for love. I have my studies, a mission to save the ocean, and a secret darker than the deepest depths of the sea.

When we realized that Katie would be out of commission for a week, we knew immediately who we had to call to cover for her: Gwendolyn Harper! And wouldn't you know it, she absolutely crushed it! Give us a listen as Gwendolyn and Carl cruise the Creepy Court Mall on a nostalgic trip through the 80's and ponder the mechanics of f*cking a hot coyote animatronic courtesy of Beatrix Hollow's Frankie's Funhouse! (Note: this story originally appeared in Creepy Court, Volume 1: a Monster Mall Anthology) Book Description: Desperation for cash has led me down a rainbow painted hallway to Frankie’s Funhouse—a children’s gambling casino. Or as my boss likes to call it, a pizza arcade. The coworkers are strange, the patrons are disturbing, and the animatronics are possessed. Which I was willing to put up with until my boss died. Well, he was murdered, actually. Now I have to serve pizza and birthday cake while thinking about burning down the mall to hide a body for an animatronic that keeps hitting on me. Drug dealings in the backrooms, puddles of blood seeping out from the storage closet, and parents threatening to talk to my (dead) boss if I don’t get their screaming kids' pizza was all manageable...

By listener request, this week we're consuming Bro and the Beast (Book One) by L.C. Davis (penname of Joel Abernathy), a book so good that Katie immediately started book two just 'cause! Give us a listen as we try to unravel the mystery of how certified Bro Brad Miller has found himself in the world of his brother's favorite Shifter romance while also fanning ourselves from the heat of this unconventional Omegaverse smut-fest! Book Description: When musclebound frat bro Brad gets run off the road by a reckless driver, he thinks it's game over. When he wakes up inside his twin brother's favorite corny shifter romance novel, he realizes the real game is just beginning.Desperate to get back to a world where he's top dog, Brad finds himself in the crosshairs of Raul, the menacingly hot hero of The Wolf's Mate, who's intent on teaching Brad a whole new meaning to the word alpha.Not only does Raul insist that Brad is an omega–his omega–but Brad is going to have to come to terms with the fact that he isn't just a part of this fictional world. He's a stand-in for the main character, and the only way out is to make sure he gets to his happily ever after.

Book Description: Honey White is up to her eyeballs in college loan debt when a random stint as an escort lands her on the doorstep of the Dvergar Mining Company for a summer-long contract.

WE'RE BACK, BABY! After a much-needed hiatus, Katie and Carl are back, and they're kicking off season two with an absolute banger of a book: Initiation by Alethea Faust! Come for Katie recounting her time in the Smut Wars, but stay for a tale of polyamorous sex wizards! Book Description: Magic is a rare gift that only exists in the bloodlines of the rich, the royal, and the reputable. Dominai of Airedale, a poor hunter and forest guide, is barely one of those things. But after a moonlit encounter with the wizard Allisande, Dominai's life is changed forever. She reveals that Dominai has magic in his lineage and provides him with a letter of introduction to the Crux, the center of magical study in the Kingdom of Straetham. Magical study is a far cry from the dusty tomes and rituals Dom was expecting. Instead, it is sex and desire, submission and surrender, loyalty and love, and, above all, trust. But when the trust of the Crux is betrayed, Dom must face his own insecurities and the unknown to protect his new home and his fellow wizards. Alethea Faust’s debut novel delivers risk-aware consensual kink, hard BDSM, budding relationships between kind, emotionally mature adults, and a lot of butt stuff. Initiation is a full-length adult fantasy, the first in the epic Sex Wizards series set in a sex-positive, magical world. This novel has a kink-based magic system which crosses a wide range of play with varying degrees of intensity. The wizards of the Crux include pansexual, polyamorous, fantasy race, nonbinary, gender non-conforming and intersex characters. Please see book preview for full CW. CONTENT WARNING: rape and sexual assault. SEX CONTENT: a kink-based magic system, the description of which appears at the beginning of each chapter.

The problem is that someone else is watching too, and his obsession with Tana is a lot more dangerous. When a man claiming to be her front door enters her dreams to warn her about an imminent threat to her life, Tana initially chalks it up to her weird late-night snacks. But she rethinks things when her earnest visitor insists he’s also ready to protect her - in exchange for one hell of a favor. When Tana trades her best line of defense for an unlikely supernatural ally, the threat lurking beyond her apartment hallway starts getting desperate as the law closes in.

Book Description: Summer in The Hamptons? Yes, please! Hold on. There’s one catch… My new stepmother is coming and she’s bringing my new stepbrother along. He’s the worst. Ollie is NOT the boy next door type (unless you live in prison). He’s got the filthiest mouth you’ve ever heard and all of that dirty-talking is directed at me. This guy is obsessed with making me blush. Nothing is off limits to him. Not my personal bathroom, not my bedroom, not even my underwear drawer. He does what he wants and what he wants is me. Too bad for him. I’m not interested. Definitely not. I don’t care that his deep rumbling voice gives me shivers. I don’t care that my eyes always dart to him whenever he takes off his shirt (which is always). I don’t care how many naughty dreams I have (a lot). We’re family now. And I’m not interested. I’ll say it over and over again until my body believes it. I’m not interested. I’m not interested. I’m not interested. (Yes, I am) It’s going to be a scorching summer with this dirty-talking stepbrother sleeping down the hall. Things are about to get sweaty, sultry, and sinfully hot! Family vacations have never been so fun! Insta-love at its finest in a SAFE read with no cheating and a super sweet HEA guaranteed. Double V-cards. Enjoy!
