About us...

Fast forward a bit, this group now holds 200K romance readers, and is a place to share romance recommendations, gush about your favorite reads, post funny bookish memes and my favorite -connecting authors and readers.

Hi, I'm Samantha, the Founder of The SmutHood, LLC. I was born and raised in Long Island, NY and I'm a lover of the romance genre as a whole. My favorite books to read are ones that make me cry! I love angsty, brother's best friend, fake dating, and dark romances. If I'm not reading, I'm most likely on FaceTime with Kristie, hanging out with my dog, Capone, or watching shows from the 2000's!

Ofa
Hi! My name is Ofa, I am a mom to the sweetest little boy. I got back into reading in January of 2020 when I came across an ad and immediately subscribed to KU. I will read almost anything, but my absolute favorite tropes are Age Gap, Forbidden, Mafia, Cowboy, & Secret baby/Surprise Pregnancy. Dark Romance is my go to, but I will jump into a lighthearted Small Town Romance or sports romance every now and then. I am a Law & Order SVU & Criminal Minds girly. If I'm not in a reading mood, you'll find me rewatching either of those shows because Captain Olivia Benson & Dr. Spencer Reid are my people. I'm so lucky to be a part of the SmutHood team, I have never met a more supportive group of women in my life. We love to see it!

Kerissa
Hi I’m Kerissa! I am a mom to adorable little boy. When I’m not doing the mom thing or wifeing it up, I am typically off in romance land with a hot billionaire who’s like 10+ years older than me. Or with 3+ hot men in an Why Choose. If I get a wild hair and want to watch TV you can catch me rewatching: One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, The OC, or OBX for the 1000th time. Oh wondering if I do anything outside… well yes, yes I do. I love going to the beach and making sand castles with my family or out traveling the world when I can. So, if you need a Billionaire Age Gap rec or just wanna chat never hesitate to DM me.

BJ
Hey Ya’ll! I’m a military spouse with a golden retriever Louie and Shih-Tzu Sophie. When I’m not trying to keep my husbands busy life together, you’ll find me tits deep in a smutty book or a true crime documentary (until baseball season). I read everything in the romance genre but everyone knows me for my love of small-towns and cowboys. I’m lucky enough to work behind the scenes in the romance community so it’s safe to say it has forever changed my life.
If he ain’t pierced I don’t want it!

Rachel
Hi my loves, it’s Rachel! I’m a pediatric nurse, a wife to the best husband and a dog mommy to a pit named Hannibal. I read just about everything romance and love that feeling of getting lost in a book. I’ve been in the book community going on 3 years now and it’s completely changed my life! I can never pick a favorite trope or sub genre because I legit can’t make decisions… but I do love myself a good angsty Age Gap!

Dominique
Hi! I’m Dominique, but you may know me as “Suga.” I got back into reading during the pandemic and never looked back! I am a mood reader to my core, and there’s not much I won’t read, but I am a why choose girl first and foremost. The more men, the better! I will forever be thankful for The Smuthood and the book world as a whole because it brought me to some of my best friends! If you’re ever looking for some recs, don’t let the RBF scare you off!! Slide into my DMs!

Kristie
Hi! I'm Kristie! However, you may know me as the girl who wears blue mascara and recommends spicy romance books as @read_between.the_wines on the internet. I am obsessed with all things romance. I love me some DARK romances (my favorite color is redddd!), and swoon over my small town romances daily. Outside of reading, my life consists of taking care of my crazy, but oh so cute, 5 year old German Shepherd mix, Sansa, quoting "She's The Man," drinking wine, or traveling the world.

Hi!!! My name is Marissa or thatssodavis on TikTok & thatssodavisreads on instagram. I am SO happy to be here with you all.I’m a stay at home mom from Florida who fell in love with reading young and then found more “ahem” spicer romance later on. My love for reading really kicked in after having kids where I was looking for a place that was just for ME. And the reading community online welcomed me with open arms.I love a good angsty romance that rips your heart wide open and then heals it with some toe curling spice.I love to travel, go to the beach with my fam, and play board games (tho I am banned from charades with my in laws right now for taking it too far) I also really love making content in any form, I’m a natural born yapper if you couldn’t tell already. Some of my favorite tropes are: Brothers best friend, ex boyfriends dad, forbidden romance and confined spaces (this is a micro and I can explain) Some of my favorite authors areMeagan Brandy, Chloe Walsh, Saffron Kent, Jay McLean, QB Tyler (so many more but I would be on here forever)
