This week, we’re joined by romance author Lucy Wilson-Tagoe, who longtime readers may also know by her pen name Dylan Allen, to talk writing, reinvention, and her newest release, To Catch a Sinner. And because this is What the Smut, we obviously do not stay on one topic for very long. Andddddd we may have forgot to hit the record button... Lucy takes us behind the scenes of her writing process, from plotting complicated stories in spreadsheets to leaving just enough room for the feral chaos to take over. We also talk about the characters who completely hijacked her life, the tiny character details she obsesses over, and why apparently knowing exactly how someone laughs is essential information. Then we dive into To Catch a Sinner, the first book in Lucy’s new romantic suspense duet.  Mary also shares why she immediately thought this story needed to become a miniseries, while Cortney patiently waits for the audiobook (its out NOW) because we all know she is our resident audio girlie.  If you love romance books, romantic suspense, indie romance authors, audiobook romance, friends-to-lovers, morally gray characters, bookish podcasts, author interviews, or behind-the-scenes conversations about writing, this episode is for you. Grab your favorite snacky snack, your beverage of choice, and come hang out while we talk books, writing, side quests, gummy bears, laundry services, and all the chaos in between. And as always, slide into our DMs and tell us what you’re reading, watching, or what completely unhinged thought has been living rent-free in your head this week.

We’re throwing it back to 2024 for the perfect summer rerelease, Book Nerds! This week, we’re bringing back one of our OG bookish chats featuring Zoey from ZozosBookshelf and doing a full deep dive into It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey. But first, Cortney and Mary are checking in with a little summer chaos. We’re talking current romance reads, the books living rent-free in our heads, reading slumps, our ever-growing TBRs, reality TV, and somehow the fact that our kids don’t understand what life was like when you actually had to put a DVD into a player. Then we jump back into our original conversation with Zoey to talk all things Piper and Brendan. If you love grumpy/sunshine romance, small-town romance, enemies-to-lovers vibes, he falls first, obsessed heroes, spicy romance books, and a FMC who has some serious character growth, this one is for you. Whether It Happened One Summer is one of your favorite Tessa Bailey books or it has been sitting untouched on your TBR, come hang out with us while we revisit the romance, the spice, the fishermen, and all the chaos. Spoiler Warning: We deep dive into the entire book, so if you haven’t read It Happened One Summer yet and don’t want spoilers, you will want to stop the episode when we give the spoiler warning and the come back afterwards! Grab your favorite snacky snack, your beverage of choice, and come see what the smut we’re talking about this week.
