The Trouble With Trouble
The Trouble With Trouble is a powerful erotic thriller set in a Sheffield police station. The story follows on from The Trouble With Liam but can be read as a standalone. When a forensic scientist invents a potent sexual arousal cream called Trouble, it causes huge problems for DCI Jeremy Cosgrove, his beautiful, sex-addicted liaison officer, Kate Pendleton, and two other women who also work at the station. It’s a tale of blackmail, lust, secrets, hidden identities, and murder. The Trouble With Trouble is like Line of Duty but with explicit sex.
Be warned. As with book 1 in the Trouble series, The Trouble with Trouble isn’t a book for the faint-hearted or easily shocked. I’ve written two more books in the Trouble series which can also be read as standalone books. I hope to publish books 3 and 4, The Trouble With Kate, and Troubled in late 2020.

Set in a Sheffield police station, this is a powerful erotic thriller following on from ‘The Trouble with Liam’. With the invention of a new sexual arousal cream called Trouble, DCI Cosgrove and his sex-addict liaison officer, Kate, find themselves in a bizarre situation. In the hands of a lustful security guard and his sex-mad pals, the scene is set for corruption, blackmail and murder.
Having read several of this author’s books, I’m familiar with her bloodthirsty and unconventional scenarios, but even so, this adventure hits new highs in the shock and awe stakes. As with much of Joy Mutter’s work this is not a book for the feint hearted. Packed with explicit and highly detailed sexual shenanigans, not to mention murderous goings-on, the author holds nothing back as she throws her protagonists into a series of carnal conflicts, before giving them the opportunity for revenge.
Outrageous, funny and stuffed with unfettered saucy antics, open this book at your peril!
