Sell Some Books, Damnit

By Elizabeth Shore

Hey Fab Readers! I’m tied up this week and am plum outta time for blogging, I’m sorry to say. However, far be it for me to let you go away empty-handed. My publisher sent out a nifty book marketing link that I’m happily passing along. It comes from the BookBub Partners blog. Never heard of it, you say? Hmmm. Well, when you get a free moment, jump on it. There are fantastic ideas galore out there. As a preview, check out these 98 Book Marketing Ideas That Can Help Authors In...

Hardback Lovin’ for Valentine’s Day

Excellent bedtime reading … if you don’t really need the sleep. Click to buy!

By Alexa Day

Is Valentine’s Day passé?

I wonder.

I myself have grown accustomed to viewing Valentine’s Day as the end of Engagement Ring Season, which began about the time we started to see Christmas decorations. This year, I don’t think I’ve seen quite so many engagement ring commercials, but this is also the year I discovered Roku. I don’t see many commercials at all anymore.

Still, I think the popular stance is t...

Sebring by Kristen Ashley: A Review

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

It’s no secret that Kristen Ashley is one of our favorite romance novel divas here at Lady Smut. We even had the pleasure of hosting her on the site last month when Lady Smut Blogger Elizabeth Sa Fleur (with an assist from yours truly) chatted her up. (Didja miss it? Check outPink Jimmy Choos and a new series from Kristen Ashley!)

At that time, we spoke a bit with Ms. Ashley about her new release Sebring, the final book in her erotic romance series, The Unfinished Hero...

From Madeline:

From Salon.com: People who are passionate are more likely to experience multiple orgasms.

From Bust: I said ‘I guess, whatever’ to the dress.

Like to fat-shame your employees like this lingerie franchise? I know, me too.

You’ve heard of bi-sexual, right? Well her...

Equal Opportunity Liar. A Love Story.

By Elizabeth Shore

You know how sometimes you hear a story that makes you frown, knit you brows, shake your head, and utter WTF over and over again? I heard one of those recently. Not only did it result in uncomplimentary facial gestures on my part, but it gave me a moment of disdain and embarassment on behalf of my sisterhood community. It also had me wondering why the hell any woman – or any human, frankly – would do that to a fellow human. Pull up a chair. I’ll tell you about it.

#ReadHotter, Go Deeper

Making your list? Checking it twice?

Making your list? Checking it twice?

By Alexa Day

The best protection from winter temperatures? It’s the #ReadHotter challenge.

Just choosing the books is enough to give a girl a warm glow, right?

Where would I find a kink that’s new to me? Turns out, I found two. Don’t worry. You’ll hear about them shortly.

A romance with a guy I wouldn’t take home to my mother? That’s one of my favorites. You all apparently don’t know my mother, a sublimely non-judgmental woman trying not to be concerned th...

Doing It Justice

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

It’s 11:04 on Sunday night and I’m stuck. Stuck, I say!

I’ve been working on a review for Kristen Ashley’s Sebring for most of the evening and lemme tell ya, it is not happening. This is not the book’s fault: it’s a great book. A proper end to Ashley’s Unfinished Heroes series (despite my tendency to picture a convertible every time I see the title) and an emotional, at times painful-in-a-good-way story. Ashley’s a master at crafting a tale whose characters wrap around...
