New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Karina Halle has delivered a smutty and highly intoxicating entertaining read that was layered with lots of banter, humor, steam, and what else SMUT. If there is one thing you can always count on is that Ms. Halle will leave readers satisfied and let me just say that she did that and so much more in this smart, fresh, and fun romantic comedy.

After Amanda Newland disastrous break-up with her first love, she decides to focus her time and energy with writing since she wants to be a successful author. Amanda is what you consider a nerd since this girl is your type A personality who needs order in her life. And so when she gets assigned with Blake Crawford, Amanda was not happy at all to be paired with the British asshole. And the feeling was mutual since Blake thinks Amanda has a stick up her ass.


As Amanda and Blake work on their creative writing project, a sort of friendship develops and soon they discover that they work well together and that they shouldn’t have judge a book by it’s cover. With their writing project completed, Blake learns that there is a big market in the indie erotic ebooks. And Blake needs the money in order to save his father’s bookstore from bankruptcy. So when he ask Amanda to collaborate on an erotic novella, one thing leads to another and the next thing you know, “kink between the pages leads to heat between the sheets.” And let me just say that Amanda and Blake will set those e-readers on fire as these two have one tangible and fiery chemistry. As Amanda and Blake test out those dirty erotic scenes that they write, what will happen when their secret is revealed? Will these two aspiring authors discover that not every story ends with happily ever after?


SMUT was smutty goodness and that’s all that I have to say. So if you are looking for a fun, fresh, and wickedly smart romantic comedy that pokes fun at the erotic indie community in a playful way then this book is for you. Yes, there is sex and lots of smutty sex but there is also a palpable chemistry and romance that will set those e-readers on fire. It is often said that the best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time and so if you ready to fall in love with an unforgettable smutty love story then go read SMUT.
