The Relaunch of the Gardella Vampire Series by Colleen Gleason
Before Smexy Books, we'll call it BSB, I read The Gardella Vampire series by Colleen Gleason. Since I didn't have a blog, or twitter (my life was so bleak) I made my next door neighbor read them with me, and we had so much fun with this series. I had first heard about the books on JR Ward's message boards - I think JR Ward put a cover blurb on the first book too, and at that time it all but confirmed I would read these books. I'm so happy to find out Colleen Gleason is rereleasing this Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – October 17th
10. Does the word Humpkin fill anyone else with joy? I now have Hapenis and Humpkin. My life is complete. 9. Karen Marie Moning showed up at JR Ward's book signing last week. Would have been FUN to go to. Thankfully, Liza as always has a wonderful recap of events on her blog. Highlights: KMM says in Burned, Dani will be "sexually viable" - this makes me snort for some reason. But hey, at least we get some Ryodan sex so all is good. Sounds like Layla and Xcor get hot and heavy in Continue Reading

Review: Darling Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt
Darling Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt (Maiden Lane #7) Historical Romance Released: October 14, 2014 Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi For those who like this series but are getting tired of the Ghost of St. Giles plot, this book is a refreshing change. I loved the Ghost of St. Giles when he was first introduced but I do think it was overplayed. In Darling Beast, we get a lovely hero and heroine. Well, the hero isn't so lovely unless you like tortured, run-down heroes. And hey - I do! Apollo Continue Reading
Review: Alex by Sawyer Bennett
Alex by Sawyer Bennett (Cold Fury #1) Released: October 14, 2014 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi If the idea of a super grumpy, jerky (yet redeemable) hockey hero excites you, than Alex Crossman is the hero and the book for you. Alex is a star professional hockey player for the Cold Fury, except - he hates hockey. The better he does, the more the crowd cheers, the more he hates it. But he wants the money so he keeps playing. I even snicker as I see a sign across the Continue Reading
Review: In the Raw by Eileen Griffin and Nikka Michaels
In the Raw by Eileen Griffin and Nikka Michaels M/M Romance Released: October 6, 2014 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Two of my favorite things - boys kissing and food. I was excited to see a m/m romance that featured two guys in culinary school. Chefs are known to have hot tempers - throw in some spicy cooking and things would surely be hot, hot hot. Except not, not, not. Jamie comes from a very wealthy family who own a chain of restaurants. He is expected to work for them after Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Hero: Chris Riley. Security expert. Also an expert orgasm giver. Talented all around. Heroine: Sophie Ward. Scientist. Lusts after the hunky Chief of Security. This little excerpt is on the very dirty side...so I'm going to put it under a spoiler tag so you can hide the naughtiness [spoiler]“Sophie, baby, haven't you learned anything in our time together?” he drawled, the corner of his mouth twitching as he pressed her down deeper into the mattress with his powerful body. “When Continue Reading
