Smut by Karina Halle

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? 

Wow. This romantic comedy just blew me away. Not only I was hooked from the first page but it was seriously funny and quirky, dorky, adorable, sweet and so freaking hot!

I can't read what she's thinking, but I know she's studying me like I'm a frog about to be dissected, and she's holding the blade, trying to figureout where to cut.

Amanda and Blake hate each other. No, they never talked to each other but it's hate at first sight. They go to the same College and get paired to write the last assignment together...they found out they worked so good together.

They both want to be writers, and they decide to start off to write novellas together, erotica novellas, to taste the water and rake in money. What started out as hot on the page soon consumed their lives too.

"All the time.I've wanting to do this from the very start.When I first laid eyes on you.I wanted to see how damn dirty you could be."

It can't be just smut. It has to be the clit-throbbing, panty-soaking, thigh-squeezing smut that gets woman off again and again. 

His smile was infectious.  Then again so was the plague.

Amanda and Blake are friends and lovers, but it’s all a secret, especially the writing under a pen name. What happens when the secret comes out?

I adored every single moment of this story. The characters are brilliant and Amanda is so sparky, it's awesome to see her enjoy and have fun. Blake is just bloody brilliant : intelligent and fun, so very hot and nerdy. 

These two together are brilliant but the other characters bring even more to the story.

It's laugh out loud funny, with awesome banter, amazing plot and sweet moments that make you swoon.

I have to say it..Fluffy is just amazeball. 

She’s a bit much to take at times and I’m certain she still thinks I’m the world’s biggest wanker – literally and figuratively – but I was getting used to her company. Writing with her was fun. Fighting with her was even more so. Maybe even hot. And hot is exactly what we need to bring to the table in order to rake in the dough.
