In this episode of What the Smut Are You Talking About, Cortney sits down with romance author Vee Taylor to talk about writing emotional love stories, the inspiration behind her Ravens Hockey romance series, and how real life hockey gossip turned into a bestselling romance plot.
Known for writing angsty, emotional romance novels that explore mental health, addiction, and complicated relationships, Vee shares how her background as a counselor influences her storytelling and why she believes everyone deserves to see their version of love represented in romance.
The conversation dives into the wildly addictive Your Pucking Mom, a unique hockey romance featuring a forbidden relationship between a hockey captain and his teammate’s mother. Vee explains the real hockey arena moment that sparked the idea, her decision to tackle heavy topics like addiction and trauma in romance, and why some stories need a “happy for now” instead of a traditional happily ever after.
We also talk about the rest of the Ravens Hockey Series, including upcoming books, surprise pregnancy tropes, fake dating rugby coaches, and the author’s very first why choose romance story.
Along the way, Vee shares hilarious writing research moments (including Googling whether too much breast milk could unalive someone), her favorite romance tropes, and the best advice she wishes she had when publishing her first book.
If you love hockey romance, angsty love stories, forbidden romance, or emotional contemporary romance, this episode is packed with author insights, writing advice, and plenty of laughs.
