I received this as an ARC copy!
If you’re looking for the perfect mix of sweet and spicy this is it! My personal favorites of the collection being A Lady’s Heart to Ransom (if you like a classic bodice ripper this will be right up your alley), Rollmates (which I think hit just the right spot of the feels), and Reese Gets Punished (👀). There’s such a wide selection of genres and tropes you’re guaranteed to find one that you enjoy!
Definitely worth the read and for sure worth supporting an amazing group of indie authors.
Can’t wait to read the other volumes!

Sweet but spicy anthology, I am so grateful to receive this ARC copy to review. Plenty of spice, but sweet and fluffy and romantic. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and now I also have a lot of new authors to add to my TBR. Favourite story: Rollmates by Toira O’Brady

☀️ As the UK decided to turn itself into the surface of the sun, I thought it was the perfect time to throw myself into the gloriously girthy anthology that is Smutfest: Volume One…
And let me tell you… it wasn’t just the weather that had me reaching for a fan. 🥵🌶️
This collection serves up twenty bite-sized romances from a fantastic range of indie authors, each bringing their own flavour of sweet, spicy, fluffy goodness. Think of it as a literary pick ‘n’ mix for romance readers — except every sweet comes with an extra dash of heat. 😉
What I loved most was the variety. One minute you’re kicking your feet and grinning at the sweetness, the next you’re wondering if opening all the windows might be a sensible life choice.
The beauty of an anthology like this is that there’s no pressure to binge it in one sitting. Dip in for a quick spicy fix, discover a new favourite author, wander off, then come back when you’re craving another little treat. It’s basically the tapas menu of smut, and honestly, I’m here for it.
Were all twenty stories my personal favourites? No. That’s the nature of anthologies. But that’s also what makes them fun — there’s something different around every corner, and you’re almost guaranteed to find new authors to add to your ever-dangerously-growing TBR.
⭐ Perfect for:
🌶️ Readers who love sweet romance with plenty of spice
📚 Anyone looking to discover new indie authors
🔥 Those who want a quick reading fix without committing to a full-length novel
☀️ People already overheating and thinking “what’s a few more degrees?”
Final verdict: A fun, flirty, spicy collection that’s perfect for dipping in and out of whenever you need a little romance and a lot of heat.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to determine whether I’m sweating because it’s 30°C outside… or because of the unadulterated naughtiness!

Having only read one of the short stories so far, that being My Best Friend by Joelle Lynne, I am looking forward to reading more of this anthology!
My Beat Friend was a great short story that covered the well known trope of one best friend pining after the other. My only, ONLY complaint is that it wasn't long enough! I need more! The two characters were well written, and the angst was there. It also had a fair bit of spice to it, which is not a terrible thing! I highly recommend it, and again, look forward to the rest of the anthology!

Smutfest Volume One contains twenty short stories.
The Stag, written by KL Thorne, was a fantastic addition to this collection. Isaac is the last single friend of his friend group and when they go on a Stag trip, he finally meets the one person who is meant for him. The moments between Isaac and Dan were hot, hot, hot. Both were discovering new things and working through them together. It was a quick read, but filled with a great plot and amazing spice.
