Our Story

Tyler, Lauren, Maryssa, Alexa

Tempted By Fiction was created because of our shared love for smutty stories and the electric connection between readers and authors. As avid book lovers ourselves, we craved a space that celebrated the kind of books that keep you up at night—where passion, power, and plot twists thrive. We created this event not just to spotlight spicy fiction and venders, but to build a community where readers can connect with the authors who set their hearts (and Kindles) on fire.

We truly cannot express the love and gratitude we feel to bring this event to the Nashville community. We love our authors, big and small, as well as our small businesses that make this event incredible. You all hold a special place in our hearts.

With love and smut, Nashville Smut
