Smutty Romance Novel

This one is cheating because pop culture writer Mary Kate Carr works at the A/V Club, not Gizmodo, but we’re all part of the G/O Media Family, and just happy to be here, frankly. And how could we leave her off the list with this scintillating entry, Loretta Chase’s modern classic Vixen in Velvet, part three in the Dressmakers Series. $8 well spent.
