What happens when the kink between the pages leads to heat between the sheets?

All Blake Crawford wants is to pass his creative writing course, get his university degree, and take over his dad’s ailing family business. What Amanda Newland wants is to graduate at the top of her class, as well as finally finish her novel and prove to her family that writing is a respectful career.

What Blake and Amanda don’t want is to be paired up with each other for their final project, but that’s exactly what they both get when they’re forced to collaborate on a writing piece. Since Amanda thinks Blake is a pushy asshole (with a panty-melting smirk and British accent) and Blake thinks Amanda has a stick up her ass (though it’s a brilliant ass), they fight tooth and nail until they discover they write well together. They also may find each other really attractive, but that’s neither here nor there.

When their writing project turns out to be a success, the two of them decide to start up a secret partnership using a pen name, infiltrating the self-publishing market in the lucrative genre of erotica. Naturally, with so much heat and passion between the pages, it’s not long before their dirty words become a dirty reality. Sure, they still fight a lot, but at least there’s make-up sex now.

But even as they start to fall hard for each other, will their burgeoning relationship survive if their scandalous secret is exposed? Or are happily-ever-afters just a work of fiction?

Karina has tried something different with Smut and has written a romantic comedy. While I enjoyed this one, I prefer her deep and emotional books more as her words are so poignant and beautiful. This was more of a fun, quick read that goes behind the scenes of a writer’s world (so much of it I could relate to being in the book world myself as a blogger and seeing firsthand thru friendships with authors how things happen in this crazy world).

I liked the push and pull between Blake and Amanda and their bantering definitely made me laugh out loud at times and smile. I especially loved any scenes that featured Fkuffy lol

I really wish I loved this story more. I do think readers who love Karina will enjoy her first romantic comedy. I’m hoping to see more of the secondary characters in this book as all of them were unique and funny in their own ways too 🙂
