Hey, this is De writing the description here and if you’re not a monster-fucker, this episode might be a LOT. If you ARE a monster-fucker, this episode might be a LOT. I’ll warn you it’s VERY gross. No forreal, it’s disgusting. Melissa and Storm read Thick Beef by Layla Fae and decided this was going to be the first book on Smut Book Club that gets DNF’d (Did Not Finish). Trust me, it was probably for the best. They also talk about books they’ve DNF’d outside of the podcast and what will make them DNF a book. Normally I’d say come join the fun, but it just sounds dirty now, so…. Have you read the book? Tell us what you think about it on social media by checking out our carrd!

We also talk about the new Doctor Who and whether or not we are excited for it, or dreading it. Also, you know we’re going to talk about Will and Jada and how we actually don’t know as much about their relationship as we think.

Hey everybody, Welcome to the inaugural episode of Smut Book Club’s Smut Book Club, a book club where me and Melissa read our long list of romance novels and talk about them in the only way we know how, messily. Melissa also shoots some ideas for the jingle for this particular podcast. It goes about as well as you think.

Every night he follows. Ex-soldier private investigator Cal Dugan has been hired to follow Tamsin and her ballerinas to find out where they go at night. He didn’t count on Tamsin’s courage or her passion. He didn’t count on the way she twists him up inside. He solves the riddle of their disappearing act, but he’ll never reveal Tamsin’s secrets, no matter the cost. American Witch A Princess and the Pea Story Morgan wants to start fresh, but a mystery man at the masked ball lights her up from the inside. His hands, his touch, his scent--they're all too familiar, all too real. He’s always been her weakness, but can she deny him when every part of her is on fire for him and only him? Red & White A Snow-White and Rose-Red Story All that art student Scarlett wants to do is wait out a howling snowstorm and kiss her best friend senseless, but all her careful plans fall apart the minute a near-frozen bear stumbles through the door.
