Are you ready for 10 on the 10th? With both Mandi and Tori down in New Orleans (at AAD) watching for vampires, Valkyrie, and shifters, guess who gets to be in charge of the top 10 this week? Oh yes, the dirty girl and Smexy reviewer named May! Normally I text and email Mandi dirty bits and amusing notes all week long. I send her things like articles about lists of creative names for man jewels (though pintle remains my favorite), #ladybonermonday pics, and so much more filth and naughtiness. It Continue Reading
Review: Precinct 13 by Tate Hallaway
Precinct 13 by Tate Hallaway Urban Fantasy August 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by May I was always one of those kids who got labeled with an “overactive imagination” because I always thought I saw trolls under bridges, fairies in the garden, gargoyles on the rooftops, and all those fanciful things. Things started to get rough when my mother died… Gayle, the stepmonster as I came to think of her, convinced everyone that my imagination was a product of hallucinations and pathology. Next came Continue Reading
Review: Wilder by Christina Dodd
Wilder by Christina Dodd (The Chosen Ones #5) Paranormal Romance August 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by May “For centuries, every seven years, a new group of seven Chosen Ones are drafted to continue the fight against a new group of seven Others. The battle goes on…” Several years ago the current batch of Chosen Ones lost a member (Aleksandr Wilder). Disappeared without a trace, and with no contact or sightings they fear the worst and hope that he is still alive somewhere. The truth is that Continue Reading
Review: More Than a Stranger by Erin Knightley
More Than a Stranger by Erin Knightly (Sealed With a Kiss #1) Historical Romance June 5, 2012 Signet Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: Benedict squeezed his eyes shut. The mere thought of hurting and subsequently losing Evie stole his breath and seared his heart. Resolutely, he opened his eyes and reached for his quill. It was for the greater good, he reminded himself. Besides, no matter how much she had meant to him, he was surely just a small, faceless part of her childhood. She Continue Reading
Review: Size 12 and Ready to Rock by Meg Cabot
Size 12 and Ready to Rock by Meg Cabot (Heather Wells #4) Chick-Lit July 10, 2012 William Morrow Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: I’ve come to the conclusion that, aside from Nazis, the Taliban, and possibly the honey badger, there is no one on the planet more merciless than a teenage girl once she’s decided she dislikes you. Heather Wells was a teenage pop star – playing malls and opening for the biggest boy band around starring her then boyfriend Jordan. That is, until Continue Reading
Review: Starlight by Carrie Lofty
Starlight (The Christies #2) By Carrie Lofty Historical Rommance Ebook June 26, 2012 Pocket Reviewed by May “But how have you managed to survive here? It’s dirty and poor and violent. Yet, you keep smiling. How?” She grew quiet, making Alex wonder if he’d stepped past some invisible boundary. But she was still Polly, and that meant taking him by surprise. “You want to know the secret?” “Is there one?” “Of course. Otherwise I’d have gone made a long time ago.” She rested their Continue Reading
Review: Accidentally Dead, Again by Dakota Cassidy
Accidentally Dead, Again by Dakota Cassidy (Accidentally Friends #6) Paranormal Romance June 5, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by May FBI. CIA. And Meredith had been almost DOA. So many acronyms. So, OMG, and BTW, enough already with the madness, and just as an FYI, this was not a ROFLMAO kind of fun. What happens when the sister you didn’t know you had drops in on you at the OOPS (Out in the Open Paranormal Support) offices and you’re already dealing with a mysterious man Continue Reading
Review: Temptress by Lola Dodge
Temptress By Lola Dodge Paranormal Romance (Novella) June 12, 2012 Samhain Reviewed by May The girl was legendary. She’d taken more supers- villains and heroes – off the market than any other mercenary, and she was one of a handful of us who was unregistered with the bureau. Untraceable. It was assumed that her targets went missing or worse. Not to prison. Jenny Ray aka Temptress works freelance for Las Vegas hotels (security) as well as working for the police, bringing super heroes in Continue Reading
May’s Summer Recs
Over the next week or two, the Smexy Reviewers will be posting their picks for the best books to read this summer. May is here to kick it off. Looking for a tortured hero, a journalist trying to get her groove back, a psycho bent on revenge, and a whole lot of action? Cindy Gerard’s BOI series is romantic suspense at its finest – they are all good reads! I especially recommend the first: Show Now Mercy. It’s a book I still re-read now and then. Goodreads l Amazon l Continue Reading
