Smexy’s Top Ten–March 18th

March 18, 2011 by Mandi 14 Comments

10. My Week – It as been a good week. I ate bangers and mash last night in honor of St. Patrick’s day. Couldn’t find any green wine though.

 
9. I don’t know about you, but I am having a lot of fun this year with Dabwaha. For those who don’t know, this is like the March Madness Basketball tournament, but for books. It is too late to get your bracket in, but you can still vote and trash talk and campaign on Twitter (which is my favorite thing!) I have a column set up so I can see all the tweets coming in for #Dabwaha and it cracks me up! Trial By Desire by Courtney Milan, which I have going two rounds won by just three votes on Wednesday! I pulled out as many dirty quotes as I could from Willing Victim by Cara McKenna last night but it couldn’t pull ahead. Check it out if you haven’t.

 

8. For those that maybe haven’t heard yet, Fatin who runs the blog RR@H Novel Thoughts and Book Talk blog and who goes by @Mad4rombks on Twitter lost her husband March 8th to a workplace shooting. Not only leaving Fatin widowed, but also four daughters behind. Fatin has been such a big influence in this romance community over the years. To help her out, Lillie (lillie80 AT gmail DOT com) has organized “Operation Auction” where tons of authors, editors, bloggers have donated items to be bid on in the last week of March. Signed books, conference lunches, get a character named after you – just to list a few. Here at Smexy we are offering four months of ad space :) If you would like to help, go HERE for more information (or click on the banner at the top of my site). Lillie is still collecting donations and I will have more details for you when the bidding starts.

 

7. I’m totally in love with Jennifer Ashley’s historicals. The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie and Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Marriage are hot, hot, hot. Next up – The Many Sins of Lord Cameron. We’ve met Cameron in the previous books and I can’t wait to get his story. Hello sexy abs in a kilt. Also – Lord Ian is being rereleased with a new cover. Go HERE to see it.

 

Darkness At Dawn6. Another cover alert! Elizabeth Jennings (aka Lisa Marie Rice) has her second romantic suspense book coming out this July – Darkness at Dawn. I really enjoyed Shadows at Midnight. Really hot sexual tension – maybe over the top suspense, but it totally worked for me. I know many have encouraged me to read Lisa Marie Rice’s “Midnight” series – I just bought the first one. Looking forward to it!

 

image5. Richard Armitage is all wet and kind of…spread out. *ahem* Handcuffed too? Where’s my flogger?!?! Wait, what?  (Must lay off the bdsm books! Wait, what?) Thanks Scarlett for the pic!

 

4. Nalini Singh is going to have a new book out with Harlequin – Lord of the Abyss. The fun part is – this is going to be a continuous short series, but with each book written by a different author (Authors include Gena Showalter, Jessica Andersen, and Jill Monroe). So the backstories will be connected, but each author will write their own book. Go HERE for more info.

 

4. Avon has just launched Avon Impulse, an imprint for their digital titles. To kick things off, A Lady’s Wish by Katharine Ashe was released this week.  It looks like they will start with a few titles every month and eventually have weekly digital releases. More info HERE.

 

 

1. Weekend – We have quite the weekend planned. First my son’s 5 yr old birthday party with his preschool friends followed by bingo at the elementary school. We are going to live it up! ;) Hubs and I also plan to win the $201 Mega Million Lottery tonight – so that will be a nice start to the weekend. I’m also reading Eternal Rider by Larissa Ione. Hot apocalypse men for the win!

    I didn't read Willing Victim until after I had picked my Dabwaha bracket, so she didn't get my votes. But damn! That book was AMAZING!

    Love The Many Sins of Lord Cameron's cover – yummm! Lord Ian's looks like a million other covers I've seen lately, though I still prefer it over the original. I love this series! One of my favorites!
