Episode 113 - Close Encounters of the Ghostlight Falls Kind

Smutco Industries — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 19:10:51 -0400

On the one hand, this week's episode is a few days late. On the other hand, for the month of November, Cheap Smut is going weekly again as we celebrate the release of Ghostlight Falls, a 13-book series co-created by some of our favorite authors: Dakota Cockaday, Nicole Parker, Thea Masen, G.M. Fairy, Sabrina Cross, Sylvia Morrow, Luna Cantrip, Clover Holloway, Elsie LePlant, Kenzie James, and Latrexa Nova.

All month, we're covering books from the interconnected world of Ghostlight Falls, a creepy town in the Pacific Northwest that isn't too creepy to keep the citizens from getting horny! To prove our point, we're kicking things off with Close Encounters of the Ghostlight Falls Kind by Dakota Cockaday, and as always, she doesn't let us down!

Close Encounters of the Ghostlight Falls Kind is a standalone prequel novella that follows our journalist FMC as she seeks to uncover the mystery of the Wonder Hole.

TRIGGERS: brief moments of panic and general tomfoolery.

TROPES: F/M cis/het erotic short story, alien romance, insta-lust, fated mates?

Episode 111 - MILF: A Holiday Romance

Smutco Industries — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

A while back, Katie put the word out on Bluesky asking for book recs, and AS Adams said, "Hey, check this shit out!" and suggested their book "MILF: A Holiday Romance." We are grateful for their boldness, as this episode was a sexy and hilarious blast from start to finish!

Book Description

After six months of late night feedings, dirty diapers, and a baby who’d rather be held than sleep in his crib, Daphne and Cooper Jones need a break. So when he books a romantic stay-cation at a luxury hotel for Mother’s Day, Daphne is thrilled she gets to shower in peace and maybe read a book that doesn’t include barnyard animals.

But Cooper has one more than one surprise up his sleeve. He knows Daphne’s been harboring a secret fantasy and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true… with a little help from a friend.

One night doesn’t seem to be enough to quell their mutual desires. And as things left unsaid for years make their way to the surface the line between fantasy and reality starts to blur. But what if it doesn’t have to be over, what if this night is just the beginning?

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: reference to pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum depression, post-partum FMC, body image and shame, general angst and big feelings.

TROPES: FMM - Queer/cis menage romance ft an established couple and their third wheel, idiots-to-lovers, queer awakening, get your groove back, third-act-fuck-up.

Episode 110 - My Billionaire Boss Is A Vampire

Smutco Industries — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

A certain neurodivergent producer/husband has an affinity for truth in advertising, so it should come as no surprise that Katie had a blast telling Maxx all about My Billionaire Boss Is A Vampire by Kate McDarris. All that was missing in the title was a "But" and then a comically long list of things they wanted to do to their boss.

(Producer's note: Oh, just you wait...)

Book Description

"My boss is worth $42 billion. I just found out he’s a vampire...
and I'm about to be his next snack."

Alice has been crushing on her billionaire boss and there are definite vibes between them. One night she discovers the shocking truth he's been keeping: he's a vampire, and dawn is quickly approaching. Steric warns he'll do wicked things to her if she invites him inside. The sun might set him on fire, but Alice is the one he burns for.
He's standing in her doorway right now and she has a choice to make.
Does Alice have what it takes to survive a whole day alone with her billionaire vampire boss?

Triple T's (taken from Kate's own content page): 69, alcohol consumption, alpha male, anal, assault , bathtub sex, being watched during intercourse, billionaire, biting/teeth/fangs, blood/drinking, bondage/restraint, "break up to save her," control/loss of control, demon, desperation, dirty talk, fingering/fisting, gender fluidity, "good girl/good vampire,” gore/decapitation, guns/gunfire/shooting, hand necklace/choking, hurt/comfort, kidnapping, lingerie/panties, magic, marathon/multiple orgasm, masturbation, ménage/MFM, “Mine/Yours,” murder, office romance, oral, orgasm denial, ownership/claiming/marking, outercourse pleasure, oral while standing up, power play, spanking/whipping, strong female, rimming, rough sex, tails, vampire, and violence.

Episode 109 - Ready For Her Alien Husband

Smutco Industries — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Katie opted to keep things light and the stakes low this week, and you won't hear Maxx complaining! Join us this week for Ready For Her Alien Husband by Marian Pattechat and snuggle up with the cozy, "slice of life" vibes!

Book Description

Trixie’s dream has come true: she has been identified as the fated mate of a Gaenthian. He’s handsome, buff, winged, and horned. It’s just what she’s been fantasizing about ever since his warrior race came to Earth’s assistance two years ago. The trip to her new home on a space station can’t end soon enough; she’s more than ready to meet her alien husband. Sure, some things give her cause for concern, like their significant size difference. But everything should end with a HEA. Her massive collection of sci-fi romance novels says so.

Vrixiel can’t wait to hold his Goddess-chosen female in his arms. The petite Terran with hair as pink as his home planet’s sky is all he could wish for, judging by the holographic file he has on Lady Trixie. He has no doubt she will be impressed with his many medals and the home he has furnished for her. However, will that be enough when his hard-kept secret comes to light? Or will she put an end to their marriage before it has even begun?

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: mentions of chronic pain and physical limitations, male body insecurity, heteronormative and socially conservative alien society.

TROPES: F/M cis/het alien romance, human FMC & alien MMC, AI assisted fated mates, cool sci-fi escapism, slice of horny life, size difference (with a twist).

TITILLATIONS: horn play, cunnilingus, pierced MMC, he went to sex school.

Episode 108 - Taking The Step

Smutco Industries — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

To Maxx's delight, the darkness of Sinful Signings is behind us (Producer's Note: LOVE YOU, SINFUL BESTIES!!!), and now things can get back to normal, with "normal" meaning "the weird and goofy stuff," and few do weird and goofy like Bjorn Wilde! This week, Katie covers books 1-5 of Bjorn's stepparent taboo series, Taking The Step, and we lose our collective minds at the notion of an 18-year-old with a penis who's barely touched the darn thing!

Book Description

Shy eighteen-year-old Cam is ready to be a man…he just doesn’t know how. One thing he does know, though…he certainly doesn’t need his jocky, new step-dad Jason trying to teach him.

But when his mom gets called away on business, it’s Cam’s worst nightmare come to life as Jason plans a special guys’ week in hopes of getting his step-son to finally open up.

One-on-one bonding with his step-dad couldn’t possibly be further from Cam’s idea of a good time. This guys’ week, though, is destined to bring the two closer than they ever imagined.

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: naive adolescent MMC and taboo attraction.

TROPES: M/M Cis/Homosexual step-daddy romance, sexual awakening, virgin main character, rom-com heavy on the com, awakenings…just…awakenings.

TITILLATIONS: physical self discovery, masturbation, exhibitionism & voyeurism, mild dom/sub dynamics, homemade sex tape of your super-hot step dad, condom practice. (Suspend your disbelief, this 18 year old man has never touched his own junk before.)

So...What Are You Into?

Episode 107 - Wicked Games (Cheap Smut Live at Sinful Signings 2025)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Producer's Note: given the difficult nature of capturing live sound, this episode's volume levels are going to be higher than what you are used to.

For our first Sinful Signings in 2024, we interviewed New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver and had no idea how we could top that. Well, thanks to the amazing Sinful Signings team (thank you, Autumn, Desi, and David!), we were able to top it and then some with our first-ever LIVE episode! Katie and Carl were joined by narrator Lizzie Heard and a room full of smut lovers as Katie told the tale of Wicked Games by P.H. Nix and Celeste Night. Proceedings got more unhinged than usual, so strap in and bask in one of the wildest and darkest books we've ever covered!

Book Description

A black envelope with silver filigree, a house long abandoned by residents, and a tragedy covered up in the bayou. What did these three things have in common?

Harper

When I received an invitation to the House of Horrors at the once beautiful Toussaint Manor, unease had filled every fiber of my being. And like the dumbass I was, I still went. What I didn’t know was that once I stepped foot inside, I might not ever leave.

Minos

Harper Leigh was beautiful, but beneath her sweet facade, I knew that she was a snake, just like the rest of her friends. She had to pay for the pain she’d caused, preferably in blood.

Erebus

Once I caught sight of the woman with haunting eyes and midnight colored hair, I knew that she had to be mine. My brother wanted to punish her, but I wanted to keep her. That could only happen if she lived through our trials.

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: murder, torture, blood, gore, death, fire, mauling by alligator, violent and erotic horror, bloody revenge.

TROPES: Saw-like torture house, final girl awakenings.

TITILLATIONS: dubious consent/non-consent, suspension, binding w/ rope, double penetration, oral sex, anal sex, vaginal sex, penetration w/ a weapon (gun).

Smutco Industries — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Our last pre-Sinful Signings episode is here and it is a WILD one! This week, Katie and Carl are joined by fellow Sinful Signings attendees Kelly and Branden of Blush Podcast, and they were game for Only Her by N. Slater. After the traumas inflicted upon Carl by last week's book (Producer's note: Still love you, Burd!), Katie felt like something sweet and sapphic was in order!

Book Description

Daniela has stolen my heart, my body, and my soul.
She’s mine.
Even if she’s the soon-to-be Queen of Kusovania.
Unfortunately, as a mere noble and Kusovania’s royal seamstress, my chances at remaining by her side are slim to none. Until I somehow find myself standing before the King, competing against other royals for Daniela’s hand.
I have nothing to offer except for my heart.
Hopefully, it’ll be enough.

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: monarchy and royalty, status and wealth, incredibly bitchy ex-girlfriends.

TROPES: F/F cis/sapphic romance, royal romance, secret love affair, competition for her hand, anachronistic past-present setting.

TITILLATIONS: fingering, frottage, cunnilingus, use of a strap-on...all the best things lesbians do!

Episode 105 - The Three Ring Scavenger

Smutco Industries — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

We are SO. CLOSE. To Sinful Signings 2025 (July 19-20 in Roanoke, Virginia), and the dark parade of attending authors covered on our show marches on with The Three Ring Scavenger by S. A. Burd. Katie has longed to cover one of of Burd's books on the show, and the wait paid off big time, as it led her to this bonkers tale of demons, gods, and vampires getting up to no good.

Book Description

A vampire and demon walk into a brothel, but they’re not looking for services. They’re looking for HER.
Being a business owner and whore house madam has kept Maude very busy since her husband’s grisly death. She doesn’t have time for games or interruptions, but fate rarely gives us what we expect. One moment she’s minding her own business; the next, two extremely good-looking men come to offer her immortality. Making deals with demons can be tricky—she should have read all the fine print, or at least asked more about HIM.
Now she’s faced with a vampire, a demon, and a god, all hiding in plain sight. What they ask of her will rock her to her very core. She needs to keep her head on straight and not let her new power—or the tempestuous god—seduce her.

Brief Descriptions of Long Books: Only Between Us by Ellie K. Wilde

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: graphic violence, murder, blood and gore, vampires, demons, gods and sundry, consumption of all parts of the human animal, turn-of-the-century circus (and all associated ickiness), fatal injury to a main character, coercion and control of the main character, toxic interpersonal dynamics (that made Katie want to hurt main characters).

TROPES: F/M cis/het dark romance ft a human-turned-creature FMC and an incorporeal god currently inhabiting a male human body, historical romance (turn-of-the-20th-century, New Orleans, LA), three-ring circus, strong independent woman, literal man eater, Zeus but it's worse this time, “more like enemies who are lovers amirite?”

TITILLATIONS: masked man, horn play, mild BDSM dynamics, restraints, blindfold, use of superlatives "My Lord" and "Pet/Little One," bathtub, blood exchange, and intimate bloodletting.

This week, Katie caught Carl slipping and forgetting what Sinful Signings is all about. (Spoiler: the dark stuff.) Luckily, Katie read Their Goddess by Sabrina G. this week, and that was all the reminding that Carl needed! Tune in and you'll almost literally HEAR a man get whiplash from the tone shift!

Book Description

Ethan and Syrus met online. Their true identities hidden behind a mask, but the chemistry they feel cannot be denied. What started as a few collaboration videos turned into lives together and spiraled into an in-person meet-up at a coffee shop.

One year later they're together.
They’re happy.
They’re in love.

However, there's a new girl at their coffee shop and neither can deny the pull they feel toward her or the familiar tone of her voice. Except Selena has a past, a past she's desperately trying to run away from.

Will her past come for her?
Will it come for them all?

Episode 102 - Draga & the Savage: Dragobete

Smutco Industries — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Sinful Signings 2025 is on the horizon (July 19th-20th in Roanoke, Virginia), so things are getting dark here at Smutco Industries! We're kicking off our coverage of the dark romance genre with a book that came highly recommended by patron/dear friend Katie Hurd; Draga & the Savage: Dragobete by Jenny Allen. The spice may be on the low end, but the passion is INTENSE!

Book Descirption

Luminita
As a woman in medieval Romania, the inability to control my fate quickly grew from annoyance to a festering wound. Even as a Durand, who can rip the soul from a man, I have no place in power because I am female. When I left my home in Kotor, I vowed to prove the world wrong. Then I stumbled across a true mystery who eventually called me Draga, Beloved.

Aaron
After seven thousand years of life, I thought I'd uncovered all of life's secrets. Blood was my only joy as a vampire. When the Mongol's Golden Horde descended on us in 1241, I seized the opportunity to indulge myself amongst their atrocities. That is until a chance encounter earned me the name Salbatic, the Savage, and forever changed my life.

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: dark themes, violence, gore, & murder, on-page death of a minor, attempted sexual assault, depictions of war and devastation, drug use: both consensual & non-consensual, vampires (blood, blood letting, blood consumption).

TROPES: F/M cis/heterosexual dark romance ft. vampiric characters, historical romance (medieval eastern Europe), only one bed, romance NOT a love story.

TITILLATIONS: ritualistic sex, blood play and violence, sex outdoors, power struggle.

Episode 101 - Cold Nights In A Warm Cave

Smutco Industries — Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

This week, Katie and Carl continue to gush about their time at Monsterotica Book Con, including how delighted they were to meet B.C. King and Phantom Dame, co-creators of Cold Nights In A Warm Cave, the book we are covering this week. Join us and marvel at how quickly this book goes from sweet to silly to spicy in the blink of an eye!

Producer's Note: there is a tone at the 29:55 mark to indicate this week's Brief Descriptions of Long Books.

Book Description

Olivia, a fearless homesteader on the edge of civilization, is on a mission to establish a partnership with a notoriously isolationist enclave of bear folk. She sets off in search of the mythical caves, but when an unexpected blizzard snows out the road home, her only option is to find shelter within the enclave itself.

Winter has come early, and for the fifth year in a row, Vetch has failed to find a hibernation partner. Bracing for a season of cold, lonely nights, he heads into the woods, hoping to forage some comfort food, but to his surprise, he finds an entirely different kind of snack: a plump, juicy human woman.

The nights may be cold, but for two lonely souls in a firelit cave, things are heating up.

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: isolation (self-imposed), dangerous winter weather nearly kills our FMC, the subsequent illness nearly kills our FMC, mortification nearly kills our FMC.

Katie Mizell and her husband Maxx Joy are Smutco Industries. Together, they create Cheap Smut, a podcast for people who would never let anyone see their Kindle library.

Episode 100 - Pounded By The Classics

Smutco Industries — Mon, 19 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

When we debuted Cheap Smut in February of 2023, there was no way we could have imagined that we would make it to one hundred episodes. And yet, not only did we make it to one hundred episodes, the stars aligned and we ended up recording it in Baltimore because we were influencer guests at the first-ever Monsterotica Book Con.

In celebration of our centennial episode, we're honoring the works of Dr. Chuck Tingle, because were it not for his groundbreaking works, Cheap Smut would not be here today. We also chat about the new theme song, and we get mushy about how proud we are of our show. (We were very tired and a tad inebriated...we were partying!)

Book Description

Through the history of prose there have been many tales that awaken the imagination and stir the soul, but true literary giants are few and far between. Still, every few decades an author will come along to reshape the landscape of fiction forever, authoring true classics that stand the test of time and serve as historical landmarks for generations of readers to come.

One such author is Chuck Tingle.

Collected within are seven of Chuck’s greatest works, breathtaking journeys through the world of classic literature that will melt your heart and pound your butt.
Featuring…

The Picture Of Dorian Gay
20,000 Pounds Into My Butt
Happy Birthday Frankenstein, Now Pound My Butt*
Happy Birthday Dracula, Now Pound My Butt
I Have No Butt And I Must Pound*
The Great Gatsbutt
The Tell-Tale Butt*

(* = featured on the episode)

Join us as Katie quarterbacks us through Spread Offense by Fiona Davenport, and find out if our running back of an MMC fumbles his dream girl!

Book Description

Gage Ledger didn’t know Rory Abernathy beyond her online gamer tag, but he still couldn’t get her off his mind. Although he’d never met her in real life, he had a feeling he’d finally met his match in the quirky and intelligent woman who he’d looked forward to talking with every day over the summer.

Rory hadn’t expected to come face-to-face with her favorite professional football player on the first day of her internship for the New York Nighthawks. Or to discover he was the gamer she’d fallen for. As her two worlds collide, she just has to hope the coincidence doesn’t cause problems for her at work.

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: toxic patriarchy and heteronormative dynamics. (Just suspend your disbelief and lean in, it’s easier.)

Hazel knows exactly how to get over her bar's troubles: getting under something big, hairy, and monstrous at her coven's supernatural mixer. The hottest club in Los Angeles may be luring away her clientele, but for just one night she is ditching her responsibilities and indulging her fantasies.
But the relief the witch seeks looks nothing like what she expects. Fur-free and bearing fangs, Vlad is more than an anonymous one-night stand. He's the mind-reading vampire whose every success brings Hazel's bar one step closer to ruin.
After a century away from LA, Vlad has opened a club for humans and supernaturals alike. But a hot hookup brings him face-to-mind with the curvy witch who stands between him and his dreams. Understanding her desires as well as her heartfelt ambitions means navigating a passion studded with pitfalls.

Will mixing business and pleasure brew a delicious new future together, or leave them with one hell of a supernatural hangover?

Episode 94 - Gotten By The Gator

Smutco Industries — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0400

We're gearing up for Monsterotica Book Con here at Smutco Industries, and this week we're featuring another MBC author: Lizzie Strong! Katie could not stop gushing about Gotten By The Gator, a book she described as "like reading a cloud." Tune in and see why that is the highest form of compliment coming from the Smutco CEO!

Book Description

Aurora's ex-husband got everything in the divorce—the dog, the house, the car, everything—and she's left to pick up the pieces. Crawling back home to her mother with her tail between her legs, she expecting a big, fat "I told you so" waiting for her in the small, woodsy farmland of Oklahoma. What she gets is a bottle of wine, a hug, and a drunken adventure into the woods with the mom she left behind to follow her heart. Now, she's got to figure out what's in store for her...but also, where did her shoes go? Retracing her steps the morning after is a journey, but it gets weirder when she finds her phone still intact in the middle of the woods. Even more suspiciously, there's a new app installed, something called KisMet—a dating app? Seriously? To her chagrin, it starts a cheesy game of hide-n-seek to 'help her find all she's looking for', which leads her to a cabin deep in the woods with a massive gator man standing on the front porch.
Yuri is the grumpiest gator there ever was, but he has a heart of gold, a soft touch, and a hunger for her that reminds her she's worth more than being some rich man's charity case. Aurora is an experience—a messy, still-figuring-it-out experience, but one Yuri is more than happy to play hide-n-seek with. Will she find what she's looking for in the surly but sweet gator, or is she doomed to be a hot-mess express all her life?

When my best friend sends me the screenshot of an article titled “Female masturbation can apparently open a ‘portal to hell’”, after the day I’d had, I’d jokingly replied with, “Guess who’s about to open ten thousand portals up in this bitch???”

I don’t expect the universe to actually call my bluff, and have my first mind-blowing orgasm in years rip open a literal portal in my bathroom. Now there are three fantastical beings in my home, and I don’t think they plan on leaving until they get what they want.

And what they apparently want is me.

Every serial killer needs a friend. Every game must have a winner.

When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, the two find something elusive—the friendship of a like-minded, pitch-black soul. From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country.

But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love.

Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves?

Or have they finally met their match?

Episode 87 - Bowling With Bigfoot

Smutco Industries — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 01:00:00 -0400

WE'RE BACK, BABY! Season three of Cheap Smut is kicking off with those cozy monster vibes we love and appreciate, and the object of our affection this week isBowling With Bigfootby Eden Crowe. We didn't make any "gutter ball" jokes because we respect our listeners, but boy did we want to!

Book Description

Hazel Reed considers Bigfoot, better known as Eric “Big E” Sasqui, to be her mortal enemy. She thought she’d never have to deal with her annoying, academic rival again after graduation. But sure enough, ten years later, he’s her biggest competition on the bowling alley lanes. Her life is stressful enough without the towering hunk hanging around.

When sparks between them start to fly, Hazel will have to confront the secrets she’s spent years keeping, including knowing just who is responsible for a leaked photo that ruined Eric’s life. But is the lifelong theater nerd ready for how the former jock will react?

There’s nothing Eric desires more than being able to live his life in the open, not having to hide his true Sasquatch form, but life got a whole lot harder when a tabloid photo of him put the public eye on Mistwood. Bowling helps him escape his overbearing family, but there’s also the added plus that it puts him in close proximity to the curvy girl who always caught his eye back in high school.

When Eric concocts a plan to help Hazel with the struggles she’s been hiding, he’ll put her acting abilities to the test and turn them both into a viral sensation on the spicier side of the internet. What happens when the two find that they’re no longer playing for profit and instead falling fast for their former opponent? Are the pins split against them? Or does Bigfoot have the balls to roll for romance while there’s plenty of heat to spare?

Vale, Hollywood’s newest demon heartthrob, promised never to return home to Winter Bliss. Until his movie’s press tour forces him back. One drunken night with friends leads to the destruction of a historic statue, landing him a 90-day probation. Stuck at home with his premiere looming, Vale’s career is in jeopardy. His only hope? Convincing a therapist to play the role of a lifetime–his devoted wife. But only in front of the cameras.

Coco may be human, but she’s brilliant when it comes to treating magical disorders. Connecting with demons though…not so much. Despite how charming–and annoying–Vale is, she needs his demon expertise to save her clinic. It's a bargain–or marriage proposal?–she can't refuse.

As they navigate the holiday season, a spark of attraction ignites, threatening to turn their fake relationship into something dangerously real. In a town built on bargains and secrets, happily ever after comes at a price.

Harley Kouris is a forest ranger. When he isn’t avoiding the nosy people of Pine Bluff, he is usually helping clueless tourists. Hardened from pulling too many bodies out of the forest after failed selfies with bears, he isn’t used to finding people alive, let alone so boldly defiant like the beautiful woman he rescued. He is used to wild, but not this kind of wild. Who knew a woman who keeps crystals in her bra, throws back iced coffee like a shot, and clutches pepper spray like a rabid raccoon could be so cute yet reckless?
While sheltering in Harley’s cabin, a fateful tarot reading exposes the truth of their situation. As days go by, they must face not only their growing attraction, but the secrets they try to conceal.
What is Harley avoiding? What is Kaylee truly running from? Will getting stuck together set them free?
A lot can happen when you’re stormbound.

Episode 79 - Sins and Secrets

Smutco Industries — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 01:00:00 -0400

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.

She spent her entire life fixing her mother’s mistakes, but this one was different. What can Isabelle do when she is offered up as payment for her mother’s debt? The Barone brothers aren’t used to being told no and they don’t have any hesitation taking what they want. And they want her. Isabelle’s problems only grow when she develops feelings for these brothers, and their enemies become her own.
"Two years. Give us two years and if at the end you still want out, you leave with your debt erased.” I offer. Her eyebrows raise as she thinks it over. A few tense moments pass before she gives a curt nod.
“Fine. But at the end of the two years, I’m leaving.” She says firmly. The thought nearly tears my chest open, but I smile and nod, kissing her lips.
“Deal.” I whispered against her mouth.
I’m a lying son of a bitch. She’s never getting away from us.

Bonus Episode: Glitch (Sinful Signings 2024 Re-Release)

Smutco Industries — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 12:32:36 -0400

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

Glitch
I’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.
Ara
Glitch 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?

CONTENT WARNINGS: abusive relationships, stalking, revenge porn, non-consensual filming, and physical violence.

My grandma always told me that dreams were a manifestation of real life. That what we saw while we slept would come to light while awake.

So, when I started having dreams about red eyes and big teeth, I searched for the truth. What I found was a world that I never thought was possible. It’s how I found out about the Creatures of Chaos.

And now they think I’m theirs.

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.

Until my little sister calls and says her best friend is destined for homelessness if I don’t put her up for a few months.

So how do I survive having her so close and not touch her?

I can’t touch her. And I can’t even tell her why.

In a break from the ordinary, Katie tucked into a physical book this week and read The Spellbroken King by friend-of-the-show J.A. Keeton! This one's a dark romance, so you know that Carl will provide many deep sighs and concerned looks.

Book Description:

A human with hidden powers. A broody demon prince turned bounty hunter. A fated mate connection that threatens to destroy the world.
What could be worse than being falsely imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit? How about being relentlessly pursued by a seven-foot-tall demonic bounty hunter determined to drag you back to jail?
As a magicless human in an otherwise magical world, Celeste enjoyed her relatively ordinary life as a bartender, struggling to make ends meet and still coming up short every time. If life wasn't hard enough for a 27-year-old living alone in the big city, her creepy stalker finally crossed the line, framing her for a crime she didn't commit.
Forced to escape to a secret town where magic is unusable, Celeste has a new goal to leave her old life behind and never look back. Unfortunately, fate had other ideas, coming in the form of a sexy-as-hell bounty hunter, who turns out to be not only the lost prince but her fated mate as well.
With their destinies entwined, Celeste and Ominous's bond comes with unforeseen complications threatening the fate of the entire world.

Episode 68 - Sinful Demands

Smutco Industries — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

TROPES: lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers, demon dom daddy, scents and smells.

TITILATIONS: wingspan reference, sex while hanging off a balcony, mind-reading during sex for the purposes of improving performance, spit for lube, and hand necklaces.

Episode 67 - Love Laugh Lich

Smutco Industries — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 00:00:00 -0400

When Katie first pitched Carl the idea for Cheap Smut nearly three years ago, one of the first books she mentioned wanting to cover was Love Laugh Lich by Kate Prior. We knew we'd get around to it eventually, but since we're now friends IRL with Kate, it's a perfect fit for the Summer of Friendship! Tune in as Carl laughs through his lingering bronchitis and doesn't regret a single second of it!

Book Description:

Some people have monsters for a boss, but not everyone has an undead Necromancer Lord at the office.
Lily has been the Lich's secretary ever since his evilness took over the company. She loves her job, but she's got some questions about her boss. Like what's under that cloak of ever-billowing.
Her wondering intensifies when one day the Lich needs something from her that isn't just scheduling appointments-- but a shiver. 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.

TRIGGERS: mentions of violent attacks and threats to personal safety, reference to virginity as value, demons, monsters, creepy coworkers named Randall, corporate drudgery.

TROPES: m/f monster/human, office romance boss/employee, virgin mc, size difference.

TITILATIONS: unique anatomy, anal play, double penetration.

Book Description:

Mike “Mustang” Cohen has come a long way from the scrawny, emo kid who was constantly bullied at the private schools he attended on scholarship. He’s gained muscle, confidence, a job at an autobody shop, and he’s earned a role as Secretary for the Sons of Erebus MC.

Now he fears no one, and all the rage festering inside him is used to deliver the club’s enemies to the Reaper himself.

So when his filthy rich childhood tormentor, Jenson Poole, shows up at The Garage with car problems, Mustang is quick to make him pay. Except Jenson looks good on his knees. . . so good that Mustang begins to crave other things from him. Things he shouldn’t.

But when blows are delivered that would mean both men’s lives were a lie, can Jenson become more than Mustang’s Torment?

"I can, and I will."

As a human moving into Shifter City, America’s unofficial shifter capital, I expected to be taking corporate names and going home alone—not rushing out of a bar when Jaxon’s back is turned. He wants to claim me. Breed me. Keep me safe. Says it’ll happen tonight.
The scary part? His words thrill me.
The scarier part? Something else has scented me and wants me for his. TRIGGERS: violence, abduction, attempted drowning, beheading, death.

After a much-needed week off, we're back with a sweet slice of sexy sapphic fun with Heather Nix's Mixing Up Mayhem! Give us a listen as Katie geeks out over her favorite FMC of the year (so far) and Carl asks the question everyone's dying to know: who is Joanna Gaines?

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.

Episode 60 - Cyborg Pool Boy

Smutco Industries — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

Episode 59 - Lust For Tomorrow

Smutco Industries — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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, 2023
I’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.

Episode 58 - Puck and Plume

Smutco Industries — Mon, 20 May 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

CONTENT WARNING: description of a fatal hockey accident and ensuing trauma of a witness.

TROPES: M/M romance, insta-lust, dubious consent.

Episode 57 - Nora's Kraken

Smutco Industries — Mon, 13 May 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Explicit sexual content, Tentacles used for sex, Strained parent/child relationship (historical) (Following triggers take place outside the relationship between MCs) Domestic abuse (historical), Emotional abuse (historical) , Stalking, Kidnapping, Threat made with a firearm.

TROPES: M/F Romance, Fated Mates, Monster Romance, Shifter Romance

TAGS: Found family; forced proximity; you’re a monster, but you're my monster; heroine with a shadowed past and a hero determined to protect her; reluctant mate; I called, you came; a kraken but also a wife guy; he looks like a pirate because he was a pirate; enthusiastic consent is the sexiest consent; soft monsters; hero falls first

Episode 56 - Earthed

Smutco Industries — Mon, 06 May 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

TROPES: sci-fi romance, sentient object (??)

Episode 55 - Scared Stiff

Smutco Industries — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

Episode 54 - The Frog Prince

Smutco Industries — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

CONTENT WARNING: lack of autonomy, sci-fi romance with monstrous aliens, graphic sex, strange anatomy, perilous circumstances, and sequences of body horror.

TROPES: alien romance, speculative science-fiction, found family, and what Katie calls "Diet 'Mars Needs Mates'."

Episode 53 - Stripped Raw

Smutco Industries — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Looking for a spicy book that'll get your engine revving? Katie has just the book for you this week, 'cause she read Stripped Raw by Miss Merican, a tale full of bad boys, big bikes, and questionable choices!

Book Description

--- What’s left when you strip away the lies? ---
Sam. Loyal to the Coffin Nails MC. Lives by his own rules. Weakness: Damsels in distress.
Jolie. In a deeply ambiguous relationship with the Coffin Nails MC. Lives from paycheck to paycheck. Weakness: Bad boys.
As a patched member of the Coffin Nails MC, Sam is finally living the life he was destined for. A life of Harleys, guns, drugs, and eating pussy. A life of brotherhood above all.
When he goes to pick up some pot brownies for the club president’s old lady, he meets a girl so sweet, his inner wolf wants to eat her there and then. What is supposed to be a typical fling, gets damn more complicated when the Coffin Nails decide to involve the pretty blonde baker in their drugs operation.
Jolie has a knack for baking delicious cakes, but when it comes to her taste in men, she is a self-professed failure. After a disastrous relationship, she is still picking up the pieces and working three jobs to manage the financial carnage her ex left her with. The last thing she needs is a hot piece of tattooed hunk stomping into her life. Sam calls her ‘Candy’, but with a talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Jolie should be called ‘Trouble’.
To be with Jolie, Sam would have to disclose a secret he kept locked away for years. A secret so raw, that it might destroy his place in the brotherhood he’s fought so hard to be a part of. THEMES: outlaw motorcycle club, drugs, gender identity, transgender character, secrets, misunderstandings, criminal activity, entrepreneurship, bad luck, debt.

CONTENT WARNINGS: transphobia and dead-naming (on-page).

Episode 51 - One True Outcome

Smutco Industries — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

Episode 50 - Putting Out For a Hero (wsg/ Josh Fekete)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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.

Will Chaos claim me as his, or will I run from him like everyone else in my life?

CONTENT WARNINGS: past religious abuse/trauma, past sexual abuse/trauma, past birth and adaption trauma, at-risk pregnancy, newborn medical trauma (secondary character).

Episode 48 - Frankie's Funhouse (wsg/ Gwendolyn Harper)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0400

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...

Until I realized I didn’t mind Frankie’s possessed tongue in my mouth.

CONTENT WARNING: MF human x animatronic; explicit violence, gore, and death; explicit sexual content; dubious electric play; sudden submission; degradation; side character drug dealing and drug use; a beheading and other loss of limbs; unrecommended use of a chainsaw; Satanism; violent use of a spork; bad pizza.

Episode 47 - Bro and the Beast (Book One)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 01:00:00 -0400

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.

CONTENT WARNING: light action sequences, discussions of attempts by family members to send a secondary character to conversion therapy.

Episode 46 - Honey White and the 69 Dwarves

Smutco Industries — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 01:00:00 -0400

Last week, the mere mention of this book's title broke Carl, so it should come as no surprise Katie's synopsis of Honey White and the 69 Dwarves had a similar effect. Has Honey walked into the world's most specific kink? Or will she find love amongst the Dvergar?

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. Does she want to be an escort? No. Does she have any idea what she's doing? Also, no. Sucked into the not-so-romantic world of exclusively servicing the reclusive, not-quite-human miners, she quickly finds herself falling for her hot, untouchable boss. It's just sixty-nine days–can she make it out with her heart intact? CONTENT WARNING: depictions of realistic sex work, mentions of past domestic abuse, putting a child up for adoption, and death during child birth.

Episode 44 - Initiation

Smutco Industries — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 01:00:00 -0400

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.

Give it a listen to hear Katie's joyful squeal when she reveals the big surprise to Carl, and revel in the book that lives up to its title!

New episodes return February 12th!

Book Description:

Danger’s Come A-Knocking….
Someone’s been watching Tana closely, but he’s a lot closer than she realizes. From intimate moments to lazy afternoons on the couch, he’s secretly seen it all - and fallen for her along the way. 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. Can her inhuman companion save her from the worst of humanity, or is it too late for both of them?

Our penultimate Smutco Vault release comes courtesy of Olivia T. Turner and her wild instalove novella, Stepbrother Summer! If you missed this one when it dropped in July, we've gone ahead and dropped it right at the top of the feed for your listening pleasure!

New episodes of Cheap Smut return on Monday, February 12th!

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.

(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!

Moshe: Kosher Nostra (Smutco Vault Re-Release)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0400

When friend of the show Josh Fekete told us that a friend of his had a sister who wrote smutty books, we were intrigued. When we sat down and read Moshe: Kosher Nostra, we were wildly impressed and knew that it needed to be an episode, and what an episode it was!

Book Description: As the Avraham Avinu, or father of the Jewish Mafia, my shoulders bear a heavy burden. The safety of not only my family, but those that have pledged their allegiance to me, is only the tip of the iceberg. I work hard, and I play harder. My brothers, cousins and I are never without willing company, however, our mothers are not shy about voicing their desires for us to find someone that grounds us, balances the bloodshed with unconditional support and love.
I've never shied away from my responsibilities, I've never run when I could fight.
And despite her many, many rejections, Seril is worth fighting for. Her safety becomes paramount and I will stand between her and danger everytime, willing to go to any length to ensure it.
After all, I've got plenty of ammo.

CONTENT WARNINGS: murder, commission of crimes, organized crime, mild stalking.

The Pitcher's Assistant wsg/ Matt Coggins (Smutco Vault Re-Release)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0400

This week we're revisiting our episode on The Pitcher's Assistant by Jessa Kane! Our first episode featuring a guest (Carl's co-host on Put Me In, Coach!, Matt Coggins) was a wild romp through a tale full of toxic men and questionable choices!

Book Description: It’s Pippa’s first day of her dream job—a major league baseball sports reporter. When she finds herself facing a sea of half-dressed athletes, her innocence gets the better of her and she clams up, leading to a public lecture from her boss. She never could have anticipated Cort Mulloy, legendary pitcher, to step in, defend her…and offer her an exclusive interview. There’s one catch, though. For every three questions she asks the mysterious, blue-eyed loner, she’ll have to surrender a little more to his possessive touch. Anything to get the biggest story of the year, right? Who knew she could fall for him so fast? Pippa isn’t the only one falling, though, and Cort has plans to keep Pippa in his life well past the ninth inning…

CONTENT WARNINGS: daddy kink, spanking, and discussions of toxic behavior.

A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor (Smutco Vault Re-Release)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0400

Our first foray into the vault has unearthed our very first episode, A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon! If you're new to the show and wanna hear the kinks get worked out, give this a listen.

Book Description: On the brink of losing her position as a maid and with no prospects to go on, the offer of a place at Rooksgrave Manor—a house of ill and unusual repute—sounds like a perfect fit for a young woman with Esther’s inclinations. Even better, the invitation comes by the hand of the handsome Dr. Underwood, a delicate gentleman with a ferocious alter ego who knows exactly what he wants from Esther.
Upon arrival, the men and the daily decadence of the manor feel too good to be true for a girl of Esther’s station. There are rules to be followed, expectations to meet, and Esther is afraid she might be too wicked even for a place like Rooksgrave.
Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist. But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn’t all that’s threatening Esther’s new position. Rooksgrave Manor’s protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther’s new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down.

CONTENT WARNING: house fire, murderous intent choking, near drowning, murderous possession of character, violence, stabbing.

SEXUAL CONTENT: explicit sex, knotting, blood play, anal, edging, public sex, voyeurism, oral, nonhuman/human sex, electricity sex, sex theatre, light consensual nonconsent with invisible man, light somnophilia with vampire, mf, mm, mmf etc.

Episode 40 - Snow King Catches His Snowflake

Smutco Industries — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 01:00:00 -0400

The Horny Holidays roll on this week as we take on Snow King Catches His Snowflake by A.E. Valdez! This book blew Katie's doors off, and she could not wait to run Carl through all of its delightful twists and turns!

Book Description: After being in a relationship for three years, Noelle Frost is faced with the reality that she was definitely the better half. Her friends, ecstatic she’s dropped the dead weight of a cheating boyfriend, urge her to get away for the holiday and take some time for herself.
Not sure if that’ll fix anything but willing to try, she books a last minute trip to the world-renowned Mistletoe Mountain Resort. Noelle boards the plane with the promise of peace and relaxation on the horizon.

Snow King is stuck in a rut, believing himself undeserving of joy and pleasure after suffering more than one devastating loss — one he still shoulders the blame for. Even with supportive family and friends, he still prefers solitude.

Every year, instead of trudging through the painful memories Christmas brings, he takes a solo trip to escape the holiday cheer. Typically that’s anywhere that doesn’t remind him of the season. But this year, his well-meaning assistant books him a trip to the North Pole reincarnate.

An overbooking incident, one dis-robed guest, and a nasty run-in with pepper spray tell the Christmas story in a way you won’t believe.

CONTENT WARNING: discussions of the death of a loved one, discussions of suicide.

SEX CONTENT/TROPES: dirty talk, praise, sensory play, holiday rom-com, forced proximity, only one bed, and billionaires.

Book Description:

It's all fun and games until someone catches feelings

Fate sends me straight into the lion's den. Or rather, the fox's den. After my dad trespassed into a powerful fox demon's territory, our family is struck with a powerful curse. Now, to remove it, I'll have to appeal to the demon's better nature.

Easier said than done. That arrogant fox demon won't be swayed by an apology basket full of treats. He does, however, need a fake mate for a week-long Winter Festival.

Though I'd be a liar if I didn't admit that our doting lovers' act was becoming harder by the day. The more time I spent with Lucca, the more his irresistible charms get under my skin. Deep down, I know it's all a game. But my heart just can't seem to get the memo. When our week-long affair comes to a close, will I really be able to walk away?

TROPES/SEX CONTENT: fake dating, only one bed, sex with a demon, sex in public, and use of magic restraints.

Episode 36 - Gentlemen Prefer Villains (wsg/ Josh Fekete)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 16:21:17 -0400

We here at Smutco Industries were so taken with Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C. Rochelle (the first book in her Villainous Things series) that we just had to cover the second book, Gentlemen Prefer Villains. We even brought friend of the pod (and guest from the NAHWC episode) Josh Fekete back because he wanted to hear what happened next. Dear listener, none of us were disappointed!

Book Description

Simon

I needed to get the hell out of Big City.

The only reason I was living in this American wasteland was because my mother insisted I reconcile with my estranged father. That the idea came to her while drunk on the French bubbly should have been my sign to stay right where I belonged.

Anywhere but here. Certainly somewhere more fabulous.

When an international job opportunity arises, I jump on board. It’s just a bonus that I’ll be traveling with the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome.

Make that muscular, morally gray, and hopefully, my next conquest.

What’s a casual fling between coworkers, after all? I’m ready for my next big adventure—far from Big City—so if whatever we’re up to is vaguely illegal, I’ll simply turn the other cheek.

It’s not like some superhero is going to swoop in and stop a couple of humans like us.

Wolfgang

I may have orchestrated my villainous parents’ deaths, but that doesn’t mean the crushing weight of my responsibilities is easy to bear.

My sister was the only one of my siblings who knew how badly they treated me. The only one I told how much I despise my powers. Now she’s on the run—leaving me to carry this alone.

But then I meet him. I may have hired Simon Alarie as my assistant, but it’s instantly apparent he’s much more than that. He’s not only intelligent and business savvy, but fiercely loyal, and the tastiest—most forbidden—little thing I’ve ever seen.

Nothing can come of it. Because if I touch him, he dies.

That doesn’t stop me from claiming him as mine. Whether or not this normie knows it, every inch of him—every breath he takes—belongs to me. And anyone who thinks otherwise will meet the Hand of Death.

CONTENT WARNINGS: violent battle scenes and gore, life-threatening situations and death, mentions of past parental abuse (including superpowered abuse), and sexual assault (on page).

TROPES: Achillian romance, anal, rimming, frotting, (debatable) felching, fated mates, hurt/comfort, size difference, leather kink, exorbitant gifts (bordering on financial domination), biting, marking, bruising, hand necklaces, primal play, spit kink, consensual non-consent, and two psychopaths in love.

Episode 35 - Frostbitten

Smutco Industries — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 01:00:00 -0400

With Spooky Smuttober in the rear view, Smutco Industries is jumping right into Horny Holidays, and they're getting things started with Frostbitten by Violet Taylor! Maybe you've lusted after a snowman or two, but you've never been thirsty for a snowman like Frost!

Book Description

The stories of Jack Frost meet the tales of Persephone and Hades in this steamy reimagining!

When Mara falls into a mysterious pool at the base of a mountain cave, she finds herself far from home, and in the frozen wastelands of the underworld. A monster rules this place. He craves her warmth and flesh, and will do anything to keep her in his icy realm. As her feelings begin to change, she is forced to choose between the life she had up above, or the one being offered to her down below. As time passes by it becomes clear that neither may be a choice. Can she save herself and those she loves before it’s too late?

Frost has waited centuries for a willing vessel to fall through the pool above. When a living woman lands in his domain, things take an unexpected turn. His cold and loveless kingdom is filled with a heat he could never imagine while Mara is there, and feelings he didn’t believe he could possess. He wants to keep her in his kingdom of ice. But the clock is ticking up above. Can he stop the inevitable from taking Mara away from him? Or will he lose the only warmth his heart has ever known?

CONTENT WARNING: dubious consent, restraints, spanking, brief descriptions of physical trauma and injury (caused by a natural disaster).

Episode 34 - Till Death Do Us Part

Smutco Industries — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -0400

We're closing out our first annual Spooky Smuttober with a WORLD PREMIERE EVENT! This week we are covering Till Death Do Us Part by RE Johnson, which is set to release on Halloween! This is by far the darkest book that we have ever covered on the show, but RE managed to turn Katie on LET ME FINISH...to the joys of dark romance.

This is a VERY dark romance book, and we discuss the following trigger warnings in the episode. Please review the "Content Warning" section below before listening.

Book Description

When you find out your new husband has been alive for centuries unaliving people, you should probably run. But I've always identified as the final girl, and I'm looking to woo myself a monster.
Getting engaged is a big deal in my family, and I'm only doing it because my dad insisted. Big money has big responsibilities.
And, you know, I'm willing to keep up appearances to get them off my back so I can focus on more important things- namely ridding this planet of some scum.
The guy's hot, has a huge, spooky mansion, and keeps to himself. So what's the harm in playing along?
Trouble is I had no idea when we said "till death do us part," he'd take it so literally.
Good thing I'm not your typical bride.

Episode 33 - Monster Mash

Smutco Industries — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -0400

If you were worried that there wasn't enough smut in our Spooky Smuttober, please allow Latrexa Nova's Monster Mash to disabuse you of that foolish notion! This week Katie and Carl are joined by actor/comedian Erin Callahan, and none of them are truly prepared for the insane and sexy yarn spun by Latrexa!

Book Description

I was decorating my house on Halloween night
When my eyes beheld an eerily sexy sight
For my monsters decorations were aroused and began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise
We all mashed. With monsters I mashed.
Who'd have thought monsters would trick or treat me so well? Soon I'm being passed around like a party favor. They creep the excitement--and me--coming. That is, until the one person I forgot to invite shows up.
The Devil is in the details, and he's intent on teaching me a lesson about forgetting him.
I may be the witch, but all these monsters have me under their spell, showing me I'm bone to be wild.
Monster Mash is a scorching hot erotic merry-go-round of classic Halloween monsters with very explicit sex scenes, a lust for the macabre, and a witch who is desperate to enjoy Halloween to the fullest.

CONTENT WARNING: magic and the use of magic, sentient objects, multiple partners, a massive orgy, cum-play, pain-play, flogging, BDSM, emission control, and bukkake.

Episode 29 - Grump Gone Wild

Smutco Industries — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0400

This week we're taking on the human resources nightmare that is Grump Gone Wild by Cassie Mint! If you're gonna get f*cked by your boss, it may as well be literal!

Book Description

I’m fake-dating the man of my dreams.

But these feelings? They’re all too real.

Here’s some friendly advice, from me to you: don’t ever fall for your grumpy boss.

And here’s another top tip: when said boss asks you to fake-date in front of his awful snooty family, say no. Run fast and run far.

Whatever you do, don’t mix up what’s real and what’s fake. Don’t fall for his hungry stares, don’t let your touches linger, and definitely don’t sneak off into a hedge maze together. What good could come of it?

Remember: it’s all a lie. A perfect, delicious, tingly lie.

And he’s just playing a role.

Isn’t he?

So...What Are You Into?

Smutco Industries — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Thanks to a great recommendation from recent guest Josh Fekete, we were lucky enough to discover Moshe: Kosher Nostra by Mirrah McGee, and boy did we ever have a blast with this funny and sexy tome!

Book Description

Moshe
As the Avraham Avinu, or father of the Jewish Mafia, my shoulders bear a heavy burden. The safety of not only my family, but those that have pledged their allegiance to me, is only the tip of the iceberg. I work hard, and I play harder. My brothers, cousins and I are never without willing company, however, our mothers are not shy about voicing their desires for us to find someone that grounds us, balances the bloodshed with unconditional support and love.
I've never shied away from my responsibilities, I've never run when I could fight.
And despite her many, many rejections, Seril is worth fighting for. Her safety becomes paramount and I will stand between her and danger every time, willing to go to any length to ensure it.
After all, I've got plenty of ammo.

So...What Are You In To?

Episode 27 - Himbro

Smutco Industries — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0400

We here at Smutco Industries have not been shy about our love of himbos, so it should come as no surprise that we are once again showing them some love this week as we cover Himbro by Honey London!

CONTENT WARNING: descriptions of a past relationship with a narcissistic partner.

Book Description

Devon got dumped.

My tragic taste in men has left me in the lurch… again. This time it’s the day before I’m supposed to leave for a destination wedding. When my ridiculously hot older stepbrother volunteers to be my travel buddy, I’m ready for five days of brotherly fun in the sun. What I’m not prepared for? My very straight stepbrother introducing himself as my boyfriend to shut up my manipulative, evil ex.

Jesse saves the day.

I’ve spent my entire life protecting my nerdy little stepbrother. If spending a few days holding his hand and calling him baby is going to help him stand up for himself, I’m ready to give an Oscar-worthy performance in my role of fake boyfriend. What I’m not prepared for? A game of spin the bottle that changes everything.

Himbro is a steamy stepbrothers to lovers, jock and nerd, opposites attract, fake relationship, forbidden romance novel with a sweet happy ever after.

Episode 26 - Not All Himbos Wear Capes (w/ Josh Fekete)

Smutco Industries — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0400

This week we were joined by special guest (and certified comic book knower/nerd) Josh Fekete for Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C. Rochelle! Katie couldn't wait to regale the boys with sexy superhero action, and holy heck was it ever sexy!

Book Description

Xander

Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you, it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn.

Especially if you’re a supervillain like me.

The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

This himbo is ruining my research, and if his firepower doesn’t kill me, the sight of him in Lycra surely will. Luckily—or unluckily, in my opinion—my bestie just signed me up for the Bangers dating app and found my perfect match.

If this isn’t the start of my villain arc, I don’t know what is.

Butch

It’s hard feeling like I have to wear a mask every day—that the only value I bring to the table is the sparkling image others have created for me.

Such is the life of being Captain Masculine, Big City’s greatest superhero. This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people.

Except Doctor Antihero.

I’ve seen countless villains come and go, but something about Antihero intrigues me more than the usual hero-villain encounters should.

It’s because of him that I impulsively signed up for a dating app, hoping a meaningless fling with a local normie will help get my head back in the game. The truth is, what I really want is someone who sees me—the man behind the mask.

But that’s a luxury no superhero can afford.

Smutco Industries — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0400

How horny can one get in the midst of a zombie apocalypse? That's the question that Gwendolyn Harper asks in Bloody Sunrise, and since you already know the gist of this show, you already know the answer to that question: very!

Book Synopsis: Caitlin Meadows thought the worst part of her business trip would be the airport hassles and her overly chatty seatmate. However, when her plane is shot down, and she finds herself in the middle of a zombie virus outbreak, she realizes she was never prepared for terrors like these. Lost, alone, and afraid, Caitlin can only focus on one thing-- survival. That is until she crosses paths with Jack Booker, an ex-Marine with a shadowy past and a penchant for pushing Caitlin's buttons. Under the looming threats of the undead walking the earth, corrupt government agencies, and the horrors encoded in humanity, can unlikely friends become something more? While the world falls apart, will they fall together? Or will their luck run out eventually? CONTENT WARNING: blood, gore, violence, gun violence, life-or-death situations, domestic abuse, attempted assault, and discussions of a suicide attempt.
