  BOOK CLUB: Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta

  Aug 26, 20261h 1m

  We're so sad to say goodbye to Smut month, but we're sending it off with a truly fantastic book and a thinker of a book club. In C.M. Nascosta's MORNING GLORY MILKING FARM, our heroine Violet finds herself working an unconventional job 'milking' minotaurs in Cambric Creek. Violet is making the best out of her new career when a stern, deep-voiced client beings to request her specifically for his milking sessions, throwing a spanner in the works. Can love really bloom at the milking farm? Join us as we answer that question and more: how do you kiss a minotaur? Just how much is 24 ounces of minotaur fluid? Why is romance so obsessed with large members? And who would win in a bracket competition of common monster smut creatures? Be warned: it's smut month, so the episode may be especially NSFW.
