Smutty Book Club

This is a bonus Virtual Smutty Book Club Event for those who love Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series. Each month we will read the next book.
We are on Book 23: Jason AND we will chat a bit about book 22 Affliction because Dawn dropped the ball on posting and logging in last month. If you thought you weren't getting enough Jason, well here he is with his sexy lady love J.J. Yay!

Quick housekeeping note: Someone has been using the name of Smutty Book Club and its organizers to invite people to for-profit events. If you receive any solicitation for an event or receive communication outside of Meetup, asking for money - it is a scam. Please let us know if you see anything suspicious.

Ok back to Jason. Here's what the publisher says:
. "Enjoying pain with your pleasure is something you either get, or you don't. If you get it, then you don't really need it explained, because you know how good it feels, and if you don't get it then no amount of talking is going to convince you it makes sense."
. But sometimes you have to explain the unexplainable, especially if the love of your life needs to understand, or she'll leave you. Jason Schuyler is one of Anita Blake's best friends and favorite werewolves, with benefits. J.J. is his lady love, an old flame from childhood who dances at one of the top ballet companies in New York. She's accomplished, beautiful, and she's crazy about him, too. Neither of them wants to be monogamous, so what could go wrong?
. J.J. is enthusiastically bisexual, with an emphasis on the female side of things. She plans to keep sleeping with women, because Jason can't meet that need, just like she can't meet Jason's need for rough sex and bondage. J.J. doesn't understand why Jason isn’t content to go elsewhere for a need she can’t fulfil, so Jason asks Anita to help him explain.
. Anita is having her own relationship growing pains with her only female lover ever, Jade. Jason suggests that J.J. might be able to help Anita with her girl problem, while she helps him with his kinky explanations. With some encouragement from a few other lovers in Anita's life she reluctantly agrees, and J. J. makes plans to fly into town for an experience that none of them will ever forget.

We meet every second Thursday of every month to talk about the Anita Blake series. We meet online (Zoom), You must be logged into Zoom to access the link.

See you soon at Virtual Smutty Book Club's special Anita Blake side book club.

For the second time in Smutty Book Club history AND the second time this month, we had a tie. The runner up book is at the bottom of this message. The book for July was chosen by a coin flip and is recommended by Adam - Creamed by my Monster Stand Mixer: One girl. One mixer. One very sticky situation. (Sweet Rise Bakery - A Kitchen Monster RomCom Book 1) by Krista LaRae. This book looks hot and hilarious. As a New Yorker the real fantasy would be having room in one's kitchen for a stand mixer - ha. This book is available as an ebook or paperback, but it is not available an an audio book. Let us know if you need help activating accessible narration on your smart device.

Ok back to Creamed by my Monster Stand Mixer. Here's what the publisher says:
One girl. One mixer. One very sticky situation.
. Abby Dixon is a burned-out baker with a dead industrial mixer, a depressed sourdough starter, a nonexistent love life, and a highly inconvenient crush on her tall, broody, emotionally unavailable boss. When a mysterious crate arrives at her bakery with a waiver warning of bonding, awakening, and dimensional irregularities.
. Abby doesn’t read the fine print and signs it anyway. Because she needs the mixer. And also because she has an engagement cake to finish, bills to pay, and apparently zero survival instincts when commercial kitchen equipment is involved.
. What she gets is Mischen: a possessive, sentient spirit who can take a very distracting tentacled form and seems intensely committed to proving he was made to satisfy her every need.
. At first, it looks like one wildly inappropriate wish gone sideways. Then Abby discovers their bond isn’t just physical. Her impulsive plea for help has awakened a hidden magical sanctuary and a role Abby absolutely did not apply for.
. Apparently, she is the Keystone. And Mischen is only the first supernatural lover waiting on the other side. Her life is about to get hotter, stranger, and a lot harder to explain during the morning rush.

We meet online (Zoom) the forth Thursday of every month. The book will be chosen at the previous month's book club - so stay tuned. Our runner up this month was recommended by Liz - Whispers of the Deep by Emma Hamm. It's about a woman and a merman. It was runner up two months in a row, so feel free to check it out and recommend it again!

See you soon at Virtual Smutty Book Club.

The book for August is recommended by T - Obsidian (New Species Book 8) by Laurann Dohner. Although it is book 8, you don't need to read the other books. This is a world where the government was infusing animal and human DNA creating various New Species beings. They escape and sue the government for rights. There you are all caught up. This book is about the female scientist and the comatose cat man she kidnaps to protect... gee I wonder how she's going to wake him up? (raised eyebrow)

A bit of gross business: Someone was using the name of Smutty Book Club and its organizers to invite people to for-profit events. If you receive any solicitation for an event or receive communication outside of Meetup, asking for money - it is a scam. Please let us know if you see anything suspicious.

A bit of good business: Our annual trip to the Renaissance Festival will be Saturday, September 26th. Stay tuned for the Meetup.

Ok back to Obsidian by Laurann Dohner. Here's what the publisher says:
. Dr. Allison Baker is obsessed with saving the comatose New Species male. She has tried everything and there’s only one option left. Alli will break every rule and put her life in danger by tempting 880 to wake, using only her feminine scent and touch. She just has to kidnap him and crawl into bed with him to make it work.
. 880 wakes in a different world with a small female who’s been sleeping beside him, caressing him and wrapping her sweet body around his, teasing his senses. He lies silent and still, listening and evaluating each arousing touch, fighting his body’s reaction. Hatred flares when he discovers she’s human, but Mercile stole everything from him so he decides it’s fair to take her in return.
. But things quickly change and he wants her at his side and in his bed. 880 has chosen a new name—Obsidian—the personification of dark and dangerous. He’ll fight them all to keep Alli. No one will stand in his way.

The book for each month will be chosen at the book club before. So come with your suggestions!

Please join us at Cornerstone Tavern, 961 2nd Ave, New York, NY (51st and 2nd) for great conversation, laughs, and friendship. Look for our signs, and listen for the laughter. We are often in the back of Cornerstone behind the curtain, which is actually a different restaurant called the Stags Head. We are also often upstairs at Stags Head. We start at 7pm, but feel free to come early before happy hour ends at 7. People usually start to drift in by 6:30pm.

This is a bonus Virtual Smutty Book Club Event for those who love Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series. Each month we will read the next book.
We are on Book 24: Dead Ice and the novella Wounded: 24.5. More Zombies and some Voodoo - or Vaudun as Anita would call it.

Back to Dead Ice! Here's what the publisher says:
. Zombies and voodoo collide in this Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton.
Becoming the fiancée of master vampire Jean-Claude is wreaking havoc with Anita Blake’s reputation as a hardass—to some extent. Luckily, in professional circles, she’s still the go-to expert for zombie issues. And right now, the FBI is having one hell of a zombie issue.
. Someone is producing zombie porn. Anita has seen her share of freaky undead fetishes, so this shouldn’t bother her. But the women being victimized aren’t just mindless, rotting corpses. Their souls are trapped behind their eyes, signaling voodoo of the blackest kind.
. It’s the sort of case that can leave a mark on a person. And Anita’s own soul may not survive unscathed...

We meet every second Thursday of every month to talk about the Anita Blake series. We meet online (Zoom), You must be logged into Zoom to access the link.
