Smexy’s Top Ten – January 23rd
10. I'd like to thank Brady and the Patriots for my twitter stream being FULL of ball jokes yesterday. #BallsForever.

Our Thoughts on Burned by Karen Marie Moning
Burned is book seven in the Fever series, an overall excellent urban fantasy series. I think every Smexy girl reads it, although May, Sheena and Mandi slammed through it on day one and are here to share our thoughts. I think we all loved Iced, the previous book in this series (I did a top ten reasons to read post). We were all unsure of how we would like 14 year old Dani as our narrator, and she surprised the hell out of us in a good way. So then we waited for Burned and her story to Continue Reading
Review: Through the Static by Jeanette Grey
Through the Static by Jeanette Grey Released: January 20, 2015 Paranormal Romance Samhain Reviewed by Mandi I liked the idea of this book but I needed much more world building.

Bad guys come and steal this information and start what is called "The Threes," Basically, forcing people to erase all memories and link to two other people - creating a trio who can be controlled to kill or attack or anything else needed.

Review: A King Undone by Cooper Davis
A King Undone by Cooper Davis (Noble Pleasures #1) M/M Historical/Fantasy Released: December 9, 2014 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi I was really excited when I started this book. Our King, Arend, fell in love with a man at the age of 18. Deeply in love - but his father demanded he give up his love, and marry a woman to produce heirs. His father goes so far as to destroy the boy Arend loved and he dies an early death. Now many years later, Arend is 41 and has produced heirs and his wife is Continue Reading
Guest Author Erin Lindsey and Giveaway
The Bloodbound: Love in a Time of Warfare by Erin Lindsey Meet Alix Black. Lady Alix Black, actually, though you wouldn’t know it straightaway. For one thing, she’s not a knight, as her birthright entitles her. For another, she’s not what you’d call refined; she swears like a sailor and has a temper that does credit to her family name. Most of this is her brother’s fault. Rig was left to raise Alix when their parents died, and he didn’t give much thought to bringing up a lady. He regrets Continue Reading
