Earlier this month, Tori reviewed Fire Inside by Kristen Ashley. Now it’s my turn to talk about the book. And in true Smexy style, I have gathered all the quotes that made me fall in love with Hop and Lanie… 10. Hop is moved when a classy lady comes onto him. The news that this woman, this crazy gorgeous woman and all that she was hadn’t had a man between her legs in fucking years moved him even as it troubled him. “Lanie, honey,” he muttered, not having the first fucking clue what else to Continue Reading

Review: Sole Support by Kaje Harper
Sole Support by Kaje Harper M/M Romance June 4, 2013 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Mike is 37 and a virgin. He has never even kissed anyone (you all know this excites me, yes?). He is gay, a pathologist and lives with his older sister. He wears glasses, used to have acne – kind of an all around nerdy guy. The main reason he is still a virgin is that he is really shy and never has the courage to approach a man. However, he joins an online reading group and starts to have chemistry Continue Reading
Review: Bound by Him by Red Garnier
Bound by Him by Red Garnier (The Billionaire’s Club #3) Erotic Novella June 18, 2013 St. Martin’s Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Say it, Whitney. Say that every inch of you burns for me. Screams for me. Say that your body is my home. Welcome me the fuck home.” What a fun, cracky, erotic read this novella is. This is the first I’ve read of this series (all are stand alones) but I’m definitely going to go back and read the first two. My only complaint about this book is that I Continue Reading

Review: Justice by Jennifer Harlow
Justice by Jennifer Harlow (Galilee Falls Trilogy #1) Superhero Romance May 2013 Reviewed by May Favorite quote: I’m sitting here, head up high, stoic, representing their family when I really feel like screaming at the top of my lungs, but I can’t even cry. I’m the strong one, forged by fire and ice. Twenty years ago Jo was a girl on a bridge, wanting to end it all and entirely without hope. When Justin pulled up, just a kid himself, he didn’t just save her from giving up on life – he Continue Reading
Shut Up and Read This Book!
By May. Book recommendations are a funny thing, as you can’t always guess what a person will love or what detail they might find so off-putting that they end up hating the book and possibly questioning your judgment. It’s hard to say what might work for someone, even if they are your friend and you know what they generally like. That said, I’ve been given a lot of recommendations over the years, a few of them strong/demanding enough that I actually felt I was instructed I must read! Now, Continue Reading
Review: Can’t Stop Believing by Jodi Thomas
Can’t Stop Believing (Harmony #6) by Jodi Thomas Romance Contemporary June 4, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “One heartbeat past forever, that’s how long I’ll love you.” Welcome back. Once again Ms. Thomas takes us back into Harmony, TX and submerges us in the lives and loves of this fictional town. In Can’t Stop Believing, we see the true meaning of forgiveness, second chances, and love. Cord McDowell lost six years of his life when he went to prison at age eighteen for Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday–Beauty Series by Skye Warren
I love the beauty and the beast trope. Something about a scarred, tortured hero and the woman who makes him feel whole. I also am always quite intrigued by Skye Warren’s voice. She usually writes very dark erotica, but this series is lighter. This will be a four book series, but I’ve only read the first two. I believe book three releases this week. First let me say these are VERY short. Beauty Touched the Beast is less than 30 pages I believe. I read it long ago when it was a free read on Continue Reading
