It's that time of year again - the time I look back on the books I've read this year and think about all that smex. The dirty, passionate, sometimes kinky smex that all of these heroes and heroines have been participating in. I know there is much anticipation to see who will be crowned Cock Champion this year.

The following two novellas can be read as standalones. My favorite of hers is Continue Reading
