Smut Shame

This week we read “There is No Devil (Sinners Duet)” by Sophie Lark

3 artists, 2 serial killers, and 1 twisted, toxic love story.

Cole and Shaw have combined their love of the hunt with their artistic expression engaged in a captivating game of cat and mouse, a murderous one-upping feud. Both respected artists, both rich and powerful, one more base and primitive in his murderous antics, the other more strategic and manipulative. And one is our hero.

Mara, our young, starving artistic ingenue finds herself the center of their games- at first a survivor, then an unwitting participant, and then suddenly grappling with her own inexplicable desire for the dark and control mercurial artist whose dark edge is clearly more than an artistic persona.

This week we read “Pestilence (The Four Horsemen Book #1)” by Laura Thalassa

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed.

Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed.

Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her … and hers towards him.

This week we read “I Married A Lizardman (Prime Mating Agency)” by Regine Abel

As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising.

Her only way out is to settle for an arranged marriage through the PMA – the Prime Mating Agency. When she's finally matched, she ends up with a tribal leader lizard man named Olix.

This week we read “Lola & the Millionaires: Parts One and two (Sweetverse)” by Kathryn Moon

Lola Barnes only wants one thing, to get her life under control. No more chasing alphas who abuse and toss away betas like her. No more hiding in her cousin’s apartment licking wounds that won’t heal. Armed with her dream job and her less than dreamy apartment, Lola is ready to start a new chapter of her life without alphas.

But that’s easier said than done when one stumbling incident after another leads Lola closer to an alluring pack of captivating men. These alphas are everything Lola dreamed of, but they already have an omega—a playful male model who won’t stop flirting with her. And Lola is only a beta, one who comes with deep scars and an unshakeable aversion to alphas and their powerful presences. If only she could resist their perfect beta, Leo, whose patience and determination to see her heal breaks down one wall after another.

When the alpha who all but destroyed Lola tries to start a game of cat and mouse that’s all claws, the safest place for Lola may be the one she’s most terrified of, in the arms of an alpha pack.

This week we read “The Librarian and the Beast (Mintar #1)” by S.J. Sanders

Beni has lived a charmed existence in Dunvar Citadel, but one that is coming quickly to an end. She loses her position as transcriber in the citadel library to a newcomer—a man who is conspiring with the chancellor to weed out non-essential fiction that distract the women workers within the citadel.

As she attempts to save these books, Beni herself ends up requiring saving when she falls into a river. Her savior, a Mintar named Faltz, isn’t particularly friendly, yet he promises to return her safely home. All that is required is a pretense of mating to keep the other males of his clan from courting her.

Will their plot work? Will Beni return safely to the Citadel? Or will the two discover an unexpected spark between them that becomes far more pressing than Beni’s safe return?

This week we read “Cowboy Dragon (Texas Dragons #1)” by Terry Bolryder

Marian West has nothing left to her name but her car (which is currently broken down), an old coin in her pocket, and the legend of a man named Harrison, who she's currently looking for. In her quest, she meets a tall, gorgeous stranger with eyes bluer than a Texas sky. He's dominant and commanding and everything Marian hates about cowboys. He's also irresistible, and her only hope.

As Marian and Harrison grow closer, unexpected kisses lead quickly to scorching nights beneath the full Texas moon. Danger and secrets lurk around every corner, but anything that threatens a Texas dragon's mate will quickly learn that everything is bigger in Texas. Even a dragon's love.
