Hello hello hello and welcome back to another episode of The Unhinged Smut Book Club, a podcast where besties Morgan and Stevie discuss the most unhinged smut the publishing world has to offer! We hope you're ready to talk about a lot of bodily fluids. This month, we are talking about Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta. Here's the breakdown:

• She has student loans, okay!?: Violet is a typical, down-on-her-luck millennial: mid-twenties, over-educated and drowning in debt, on the verge of moving into her parent’s basement. When a lifeline appears in the form of a very unconventional job in neighboring Cambric Creek, she has no choice but to grab at it with both hands. Morning Glory Milking Farm offers full-time hours, full benefits, and generous pay with no experience needed . . . there’s only one catch. The clientele is Grade A certified prime beef, with the manly, meaty endowments to match. When a stern, deep-voiced client begins to specially request her for his milking sessions, maintaining her professionalism and keeping him out of her dreams is easier said than done. Violet is resolved to make a dent in her student loans and afford name-brand orange juice, and a one-sided crush on an out-of-her-league minotaur is not a part of her plan—unless her feelings aren’t so one-sided after all.
• Themes/genres: Morning Glory Milking Farm is a Monster Romance with a Human FMC and a Minotaur MMC. Feel free to disagree, but we think this is a workplace romance that offers a great allegory for interracial relationships with smut and dirty thoughts that could melt the paint off the walls of your mind, and an incredibly sweet love story. The story is character driven with a loveable cast of side characters that grow the series and the sweetness of this story.
• Explicit content: We will be chatting about all the naughty bits! What did you expect from. The Unhinged Smut Book Club?!

Hello hello hello and welcome back to another episode of The Unhinged Smut Book Club, a podcast where besties Morgan and Stevie discuss the most unhinged smut the publishing world has to offer! August is alien month, so we couldn't let this month pass without doing Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon - it's like a right of passage. here's the breakdown:

• Love Match on an Ice Planet: You'd think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you'd be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they've left their cargo of human women—including me—on an ice planet. And the only native inhabitant I've met? He's big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me…
• Themes/genres: Ice Planet Barbarians covers a wide swath of romance genres. It covers Alien Romance (duh), a fated mates situation, an FMC with a strong voice, undeniable chemistry (that lead to some really good spicy scenes 😉), and an incredibly sweet love story. Don't be fooled, though, there is a good, healthy plot to keep the story engaging and a loveable cast of side characters to keep the laughs going.
• Explicit content: We will be chatting about all the naughty bits! What did you expect from. The Unhinged Smut Book Club?!
