My evenings currently consist of watching Miss Marple with a pot of tea and my knitting out, then off to bed at a reasonable time to read some delightful monster smut.
How did I get so lucky.

Read a short smutty novella I absolutely loved, but am not going to talk about because the author used AI for the cover.
Do better. Seriously.

I cannot work in the same office space as my husband. The dog won't allow it, so I've spent the morning sorting out a place for me and my laptop in my bedroom. Hector is pleased. Hector gets to snooze on the bed while I get on with things.
He is a butt.

Werewolves seem an odd choice for erotica to focus on, given that you can't use the word "bone" around them without causing immense confusion.
