This week's episode is a take-two on The Red: An Erotic Fantasy by Tiffany Reisz. We always have a lot to say when we record these episodes. This book inspired a lot of discussion about other ways it could have gone down. We talked about Sebastian and Spencer and all of the ways we imagined it happening differently. Most importantly, Kandy and Ivy pretty much brawled about how much needs to be explained at the end of a story.  We really need to know what you think so vote in our poll!    Get the entire story at https://whatthesmut.com/2022/06/06/art-history-for-pervs/  ..read more

This time on What the Smut, we discuss The Red: An Erotic Fantasy by Tiffany Reisz. Kandy was looking for a paranormal romance with sex work as a key component when she found this beauty. What we didn't count on was a brilliant concept, some amazing art history, and boundary-pushing sex acts. We rated the heat level in this book as erotic due to all of the wild acts. As of this writing, the book is in the amazing kindle unlimited catalog. Just another amazing reason to subscribe. We had no idea art history could be so sexy! A pervy ghost that can bring paintings to life sure doesn't hurt the p ..read more

This week on What the Smut we are talking about the medieval desire in A Year and a Day (Medieval DeWarenne Trilogy Book 1) by Virginia Henley. This is Lisa's birthday book and friend of the pod Amanda joins us to explore this wonderful historical romance. Jane is selected to be Lynx's handfasted companion for no other reason than her family's prolific breeding. Gosh, it would make a girl giddy with desire. The medieval period being what it is, Jane's desire for Lynx is irrelevant. We rated the heat level in this book as The Audacity!! This means the book doesn't treat the ..read more

In this special, we are reveling in the glory of dirty talk in romance novels. If this isn't your jam... Why the heck are you listening to our disreputable selves? We attacked the topic with vigor and each one of us selected 5 of the most memorable dirty talk books/quotes. Why five? I don't know. It's a terrible number. Sure it's the life of the party but the party always ends with the cops being called. Anyway, that's enough woo-woo numerology crap. Let us talk dirty to you!

This quickie is from our episode Loved, Lusted & Hated when we talked about “Spank Me, Mr. Darcy” by Lissa Trevor and Jane Austen. Kandy REPEATEDLY and BRAZENLY stated incorrectly that Pride and Prejudice (published in 1813) is 100 years old. We never claimed to be good at math. We talked about wrapping our brains around the combination of sex and Regency-era English and other crazy oldo speak. We would love to hear from you. Do you love oldo english speak?
