Book Description

I let her stay as a favor to an old friend. But her father doesn’t realize...

He sent a lamb to the big, bad wolf.

Bellamy is a violin student. That’s why her father picked me to take care of her for the university holidays—a famous composer. A maestro who can pass on his skills.

But inspiration is golden, and this girl wakes parts of me which have been dormant for decades. I need her. And not just her music—her body, her heart, her soul.

Old friend or not, her father may regret sending her here. Because now that I’ve found my little lamb...

I’ll never let her go.

One woman, four monster husbands, and and a "woo-woo" girlfriend with an eye for spotting pumpkin-fuckers...what's not to love?

Book Description

When my aunt's girlfriend tells me I look like someone who would sleep with a pumpkin, I uncomfortably laugh it off and encourage her and my aunt out of my apartment. This is after, of course, she gifts me an amulet that I really should have investigated more before continuing on with my night.

A few too many hard ciders later and I'm dancing too close to a giant pumpkin display, but when I fall into it, I don't hit the bottom; I wake up in a different world where monsters are making thirst traps that feel very targeted to me and my neighbor looks like a walking, talking pumpkin that I...okay,I kind of do want to sleep with him.

Can I even be blamed when I accidentally bond not only them, but a phantom and a goblin as well? I think not. I'm literally just a girl.

Triple T's (Triggers, Tropes, and Titllations)

TRIGGERS: Meddling lesbian psychics, alcohol consumption, accidental potion consumption with intoxicating result, magic, unwitting portaling, and mention of unwilling transfiguration. Accidental fall and head injury, a really weird moment with a pie, cringe-worthy puns, paperwork snafus by extra-dimensional entities, fourth wall breaks, intentional silliness.

TROPES: FMMMM, Cis/Het romance ft. a curvy human FMC and a menagerie of MMCs including a pumpkin man, a phantom, Frankenstein’s monster, and a goblin. Portal fantasy, Halloweentown needs mates, mate marking and bond magic, accidental matings, grumpy/sunshines,  size difference (in reverse), virgin MMCs.

TITILLATIONS: explicit sex, oral sex, vaginal sex, anal play, multiple partners, really unique anatomy, incorporeal partner, bathtub sex, orgies, flavored fluids

Another week, another massive upheaval in the Smutco Industries household (not to mention Maxx's allergies...sorry for the coughing), but we're soldiering on! We're revisiting a favorite author of ours (Petra Palerno) for another one of her delightfully unhinged monsterfucker tales; this time, it's Abducted by Moonlight, the perfect confluence of werewolves, aliens, and Omega vibes!

This episode marks the introduction of chapters (hopefully...let me know if they don't work), because we spend 20 minutes spilling tea and giving life updates at the top of the show, but if that's not your vibe, skip right ahead to where we start the recap!

We have a very special episode for everyone this week, because LAST weekend, Katie and Maxx hung out in Portland, Oregon and did a live episode at Romancing Portland 2026! They were joined by authors Emily Rath (Pucking Around), S.A. MacLean (Beasts of the Void duology), and honorary Smutco Industries Intern, Lauren Devora (who is not only an author, but a co-host of the In Our Ears podcast, a show about the world of audio erotica).

No book descriptions or Triple T's for this one, because Katie presented a Funbag of three short stories, but with a twist: one of the books is made up by Katie, and our guests have to guess which one that is. As such, we also aren't posting the book information in the show notes, so YOU can play along as well! Katie mentions the titles at the end, so you'll be able to track them down!

We are going on tour in 2027! Help us make it amazing and fill out our survey! Only takes a few minutes, and it is anonymous!

When we covered Eden Crowe's Bowling With Bigfoot way back on episode 87, Maxx told a story of his youthful, small-town hijinks. Edwn was so tickled that she wrote an ENTIRE BOOK about the hilarious tale!

Okay...she briefly mentions it in Mingling With Mothman, her latest adorable slice-of-small-town-life tale in her Monsters of Mistwood series. It is still very cool, and the book is another Eden Crowe banger!

Meet Katie at Crown & Quill August 29th in Jamestown, North Carolina!

Meet Katie and Maxx at Romancing Portland September 11th-13th in Portland, Oregon!

Book Description

There are a million reasons why Mayor Clay Carlile should never fall for his gorgeous and curvy new social media intern, but the biggest reason of all might just be her father. In nearly twenty years of political tenure, he’s been Clay’s only opponent, and his distaste for all of the monsters who call Mistwood, WV, home is more than well known. Not to mention, a scathing letter he sent to the tabloids trying to out Clay as the state’s most notorious cryptid has an uncomfortable amount of eyes focusing on this mothy mayoral candidate just in time for election season. But how is Clay supposed to resist a woman who shines so bright?

Ava Pratt is nothing like the man who raised her, and she’s lived her life abroad proving just that. Despite it all, she can’t help but believe there’s still some good left in her father and is determined to help him see reason. She hasn’t been back to Mistwood in two decades, but when a job posting from her hometown slides into her inbox, it seems like the perfect political strategy to take the temporary office position playing intern to her father’s biggest enemy, if only to help them both understand one another better. But the last thing Ava expects is to find herself falling for her new boss.

A work trip goes awry when a sudden snow storm leaves the pair stranded at a no-tell motel. This single-bed-situation seems prime for media scandal, but when Clay reveals more than just his true form, the two must face the forbidden nature of their budding romance and decide whether it’s best to stay hidden, waiting in the wings, or find a way to face the public - and Ava’s father. Can the pair sort through all the legends and lore to learn that seeing is believing? And will their love find a way to show others the light?

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: Family estrangement, bigotry and racism, family member diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, verbal abuse and hate speech, implied sexual-assault of a friend (mention,) feelings of loneliness and otherness, fictional death related to a real event.

TITILLATIONS: “graphic, consensual (and highly detailed) fornicatin’ between Mothman and his lady - some rather interesting use of moth parts, such as a proboscis and claspers.” Unique anatomy, literal panty eating, monstrous sex.

If you like your murderers to be hot and principled but still a bit awkward, then have we got the book for you! Join us this week as Katie shares Meat Cute by Millie St. Graves!

Book Description

Dean Campbell is reformed.

He hasn’t killed anyone in years.

He keeps his head down, drinks his coffee black, and follows the rules. The Butcher of Black Lake is old news, and Dean plans to keep it that way.

Then June Whitmore moves to town.

June is a librarian with a sharp eye, a bad past, and zero tolerance for dangerous men. She wants quiet. Safety. A fresh start. Falling for the town’s most unsettlingly polite man was not part of the plan.

When June’s abusive ex resurfaces, Dean knows exactly how to handle it.
June knows exactly what kind of man she’s sleeping with.

The only question left is how far they’re willing to go for each other.

Darkly funny, sexy, and unapologetically morally gray, MEAT CUTE is a slow-burn romance with sharp dialogue, high tension, and a hero who’s trying very hard not to relapse.

Triggers, Tropes, and Titillations

TRIGGERS: mentions of domestic violence (off page), mentions of divorce, mentions of child abuse (off page, discussed in detail), stalking and social manipulation (of a secondary character,) on-page murder (of a secondary character,) discussion of past murders in detail, guns, gun violence & threats of same between main characters, shitty ex-husbands named Paul.

TROPES: F/M Cis/Het contemporary dark romance. “Reformed” serial killer & curvy librarian, small town, slice of life, love after divorce, revenge & closure.

TITILLATIONS: graphic sex, vaginal sex, oral sex, just…good sex.

We here at Smutco Industries are unabashed lovers of sentient object smut, so we were thrilled to dive into Scrub Me, Daddy by April Showers! It's a filthy tale about a sentient sponge who'll do anything to make you clean! (After making you FILTHY, of course!)

Book Description

My entire life is a mess.

My ex cheated. My job sucks. And my apartment smells like old takeout and despair.

Enter: a 3 A.M. infomercial promising the Scrubbie Dubbie will change my life.
Desperate and half-delirious, I order it.

The next day, a sponge arrives—hot pink, dual-textured, and paired with a cleaning liquid that smells suspiciously like seduction. Then things get... weird. And wet.

One steamy scrub-down later, I slip, hit my head, and wake up to a six-foot-something alien Adonis with abs for days and an obsession with cleaning. And with me.

He’s strong, sudsy, and ready to polish more than just my floors.

He came to tidy my apartment—and he just might stay to deep-clean my soul.

Content Considerations: Scrub Me, Daddy is an erotic sentient object romance that includes a sponge and a human woman. It’s a sweet and spicy story, all in good fun.

Triple T's

TRIGGERS: shitty ex-boyfriends named Aaron, late night infomercial purchases, alien invasion, truly unfortunate wardrobe choices, mild sequences of physical violence, crimes against Katie’s semantic comfort.

TROPES: F/M Cis Heterosexual romance, sentient object romance (a sponge,) alien romance (an alien sponge,) slice of life, insta-something-or-other.

TITLLATIONS: explicit sex, oral sex, vaginal sex, ass play, incredibly effective aphrodisiacs, masturbation with an inanimate object, sex in public, pegging (epilogue).
