Escort services like to offer up hotties for their clients, but what happens if your "date" is a porn star? Susie reads an E.J. Dickson article from Salon that looks at why adult movie actresses are supplementing their incomes with this other line of work. She digs deep into why some X-rated stars are "working private" and not feeling like they have to keep it a secret.

Next, Susie shares a Guardian article that lists the 2014 "Bad Sex in Fiction" awards. What does that mean? Is it that the scenes are poorly written, somehow sexually disgusting, or just pornographic? Hard to say, says Susie, but there are some top-notch authors on the list: Richard Flanagan, Michael Cunningham, Helen Walsh, and many others.

Then, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie shares an audio sample from a dark, sexy book that is part of the Twin Cities Noir series. Bums, by William Kent Krueger, is set in Minneapolis—St. Paul, and Susie says the book is not at all the folksy, Prairie Home Companion affair that you may associate with those towns. Nope, this is a crime thriller you will love. Will Patton narrates.
