Smexy’s Top Ten – November 21st
10. I demand it!!! 9. The cover and blurb for the much anticipated Brown-Eyed Girl has been released. Not a huge fan of the cover, gotta say. And the blurb: Avery Crosslin is a talented young fashion designer with a bright future ahead of her. But when the company goes into liquidation, Avery finds herself without a job and a boyfriend who decides to leave her. When her father falls ill, Avery is by his side day and night. But one evening she notices a young man, Joe, in Continue Reading
Review: Love’s Last Call by Beth Matthews
Love's Last Call by Beth Matthews (Ladies of Jezabel's #1) Released: October 20, 2014 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This is a new adult that is more on the light-hearted side. It's not super angsty or emo, which is a nice change. Norm is kind of geeky who is in desperate need of cash, so he takes a job at a Hollywood bar as a bouncer. Norm is tall and skinny and not your typical looking bouncer, but at this point he just wants some cash. His dream is to be a Continue Reading
Review: Master of Crows by Grace Draven
Master of Crowd by Grace Draven Released: July 13, 2009 Fantasy Romance Amber Quill Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "You have done an unwise thing, Martise of Asher," he said softly. "You've caught my interest." This book has been recommended by many (including Has and Angela - and someone on my blog who I can't remember, sorry!) I recently finished Dreamer's Pool by Juliet Marillier (and loved) so I was in the mood for another fantasy book. Let me warn and say - the first Continue Reading
Review: Starstruck by L.A. Witt
Starstruck by L.A. Witt (Bluewater Bay #1) Released: November 3, 2014 M/M Romance Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Welcome to Bluewater Bay! This quiet little logging town on Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula has been stagnating for decades, on the verge of ghost town status. Until a television crew moves in to film Wolf’s Landing, a hit TV show based on the wildly successful werewolf novels penned by local author Hunter Easton. Wolf’s Landing’s success spawns everything from merchandise to Continue Reading
Big Darkfever Giveaway!
We all know I'm a huge fan of the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. Burned, coming this January is highly anticipated. MacKayla Lane would do anything to save the home she loves. A gifted sidhe-seer, she’s already fought and defeated the deadly Sinsar Dubh—an ancient book of terrible evil—yet its hold on her has never been stronger. When the wall that protected humans from the seductive, insatiable Fae was destroyed on Halloween, long-imprisoned immortals ravaged the Continue Reading

Review: Semper Fi by Keira Andrews
Semper Fi by Keira Andrews Released: November 11, 2014 M/M Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read a gay Amish romance by Keira Andrews that I enjoyed, so when I heard she had a WW2 historical coming out, I thought I'd give it a try. However, this one didn't quite grab me. This book flips between 1942, when Cal and Jim first meet and train as Marines, to present day in 1948. The flashback eventually lead the two of them to the war and end I think Continue Reading
Review: Rogue Spy by Joanna Bourne
Rogue Spy by Joanna Bourne (Spymasters #5) Historical Romance Released: November 4, 2014 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Before I being gushing, and oh yes there will be gushing, let me note that while this book can be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading The Forbidden Rose and The Black Hawk first. Not only for the world and events, but to build up these characters. Joanna Bourne writes the absolute best characters (the gushing has begun!). All three of these books are just Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Seals of Winter Boxed set, this post will feature Elle Kennedy's story, Flash Fire. (this boxed set releases Tuesday, 11/18) Hero: Cash - Oh, ,we ALL remember Cash, right? Cash, the hero in Feeling Hot. The hero who sat back and let Dylan give him a blow job for the enjoyment of his heroine, Jen?? One of the hottest scenes Elle Kennedy has written! (and man, she has a lot of good scenes). And then, shoving his hand in Dylan’s blond hair, Cash guided that hot male mouth to his cock and Continue Reading
