Muddy Stilettos


<p>From steamy classics enjoying a revival to glossy new releases popping up everywhere, erotic fiction has been busy getting our attention. Add in a growing number of famous voices stepping up to the mic and, frankly, we were always going to get involved &#8211; even if it means quietly taking out a Quinn subscription “for research”. </p>



<p>Apparently the most requested names right now read like a very good casting call:&nbsp;Pedro Pascal,&nbsp;Adam Brody,&nbsp;Jonathan Bailey,&nbsp;Idris Elba,&nbsp;Austin Butler,&nbsp;Hunter Schafer&nbsp;and&nbsp;Oscar Isaac. Trend spotted. Research undertaken. You can thank us later.</p>

This story follows River, a surfer-bartender back in his hometown for the summer, and Drea, a recent arrival nursing a breakup, whose instant connection comes with a complication best discovered after last orders. Sun-soaked, tense and intimate in all the right ways – it definitely left us a bit hot under the collar.</p><p><a href="https://www.tryquinn.com/audio/episode-one-then" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a>.</p></div></div></div></div>

Cast as a devoted royal guard battling duty, secrecy and some extremely inconvenient feelings, he makes every whispered line feel illicit. Regal, restrained and absolutely not one for listening to on the school run.</p><p><a href="https://www.tryquinn.com/audio/episode-one-the-rebel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p></div></div></div></div>

It starts off deceptively gentle, but the tension builds nicely – and by the time things reach a front-porch moment, it definitely doesn’t stay PG for long.</p><p><a href="https://www.tryquinn.com/series/the-misty-door" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Perfect for anyone who enjoys a little banter <em>and</em> a lot of flirtation in their earbuds.</p><p><a href="https://www.tryquinn.com/audio/episode-one-finn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p></div></div></div></div>

A tentative alliance, late-night library sessions and some very inconvenient chemistry soon blur the lines between rivalry and desire. </p><p><a href="https://www.tryquinn.com/audio/episode-one-the-first-trial" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Laviscount leans into full charm mode in this glossy enemies-to-lovers story, playing Peter Kelly &#8211; a jewel thief with his eye on the Regent diamond. Only problem? Another thief, Katerina Laszlo (aka The Great Kat), is after it too. What follows is a string of glamorous parties, missed connections and one very inevitable moment when rivalry turns into something else entirely and spoiler: things escalate exactly as you hope they will. </p><p><a href="https://www.tryquinn.com/series/the-regent" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Stolen glances over the keys, chance encounters on London streets and chemistry that refuses to behave soon turn lessons into something decidedly less academic. Quietly charged, deliciously improper &#8211; we’ll leave it at that.</p><p><a href="https://www.tryquinn.com/series/the-muse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p><p></p><p></p></div></div></div></div>
