Mandi saw the Fifty Shades of Grey Movie! And She Liked it!
A long time ago, my blog was asked to be an "Official Fifty" blog, to help promote the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie. They wouldn't give us many details to what we would have to do, but I thought - why not? Something fun will hopefully come out of it. And while I've had a few giveaways and posted a few trailers, the most fun event I was offered, was to go to New York City for a screening of the movie with the Today show. I grabbed a friend, and off we went. Since the screening was with the Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten – February 6th
10. Today I am in NYC for a screening of Fifty Shades of Grey!! The screening took place at 7:30am - I had to be in line by 5:30am in the freezing cold (I'm writing this before I go but my weather app says it will be 9 degrees Friday morning. Can't wait!) My goal is to take a picture or two and have Tori post them here before this post goes live. If there is a picture above, then it worked. If not, then I'll share some pictures next week. Mr. Dornan has asked me to not share the nakey pics I Continue Reading
Guest Author J.C. Daniels and Giveaway
J.C. Daniels (aka Shiloh Walker) is stopping by Smexy today to talk about her latest release, Edged Blade and what it's like to pick a title for the next book. Later today, May will have her review. If my brain cooperates—and if Kit does—I think there will be three more books after EDGED BLADE. I think I know what the titles will be for books 6 & 7, I think. I think. Book 5 is bothering me. It’s all about secrets and stealth and for the past few days I’ve been playing name games Continue Reading

Guest Post: Victoria Dahl Celebrates Galentine’s Day
Galentine’s Day is a fictional day created by Leslie Knope (aka Amy Poheler, star of Parks and Rec). It’s a day to celebrate the girlfriends in your life and I thought this day goes perfectly with Victoria Dahl’s new book, Flirting with Disaster. I only watch Parks and Rec occasionally, so I’m incredibly grateful to Mandi for clueing me in to Leslie’s “Galentine’s Day.” It’s a chance to celebrate before Valentine’s Day with your gal friends, and I think it’s a spectacular Continue Reading
