Broken Blade by J.C. Daniels (Colbana Files #3) Released: January 6, 2014 Urban Fantasy Self Published Reviewed by Mandi At a time when I find myself more enamored with contemporary books, this urban fantasy romance series seriously impresses me. First let me say you must read the books in order, as this is the continuing story of Kit Colbana. The end of the last book was devastating. Kit was kidnapped by a vampire, and tortured beyond all belief. But she was eventually rescued Continue Reading
Feature: An Indecent Proposition by Stephanie Julian
Stephanie Julian is stopping by Smexy today to talk about her recent book, An Indecent Proposition. A little over a year ago, I started a little story called AN INDECENT PROPOSITION. I’d gotten a call from Judi Fennell who asked if I wanted to be in an anthology with Cherrie Lynn, Olivia Cunning and Cari Quinn. I’m no fool. I said yes. Since I love writing ménage, that’s the framework I chose. And I wrote AN INDECENT PROPOSITION. The PART I came later, after I realized 18,000 words weren’t Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–January 3rd
10. Update: The snow has not interfered with wasting my day online. All is lazy good here. The wind chill is currently –5 – I don’t even know if my dog will attempt the outside today. 9. Amy tweeted this cover yesterday. I know nothing about this book or the authors. But I do know that this cover is hot. The blurb doesn’t scare me away either. (Can’t find info on the release date) 8. I first saw The Do-Over by MK Schiller recommended by Jane from Dear Author, and since then I’ve see many Continue Reading
Review: The Destiny of Violet & Luke by Jessica Sorensen
The Destiny of Violet & Luke by Jessica (The Coincidence #3) Sorensen Releases: January 7, 2014 New Adult Forever Reviewed by Mandi Note: Even though this is The Coincidence #3, it is the first of two books for Luke & Violet (first two were Callie & Kayden, where Luke does play a small role) I really enjoyed the first two books in this series featuring Callie and Kayden (friends of Violet and Luke). Both Callie and Kayden were so screwed up and there was angst over Continue Reading
Our 2014 Reading Resolutions
It’s a brand, spanking new year and the ladies of Smexy Books have decided it’s time to get serious (well, as serious as we like to get around here) and set some goals for 2014. May’s Resolutions: 1. I will read no book that promises “fans of ____ will love this!” 2. I will measure facial hair on all potential new fictional heroes. I need more beards. 3. Any hero living in a cabin in the woods, as a recluse, or otherwise being survival/wilderness man off somewhere immediately gets #1 Continue Reading
Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2013
My favorite sexy books of 2013. Explicit naughtiness below. In no particular order… Beyond Control by Kit Rocha – Dallas gives me the naughty shivers. And Lex is awesome. Review l Kindle “Give me this, Lexie.” HIs voice was a coaxing rumble, the gentleness a thin mask over hard command. Each time he rocked into her was a little rougher as his patience unraveled. “Tell me my cock’s the hottest thing I’ve ever fucked you with.” “You know it is.” She barely recognized her own voice, low and Continue Reading
Mandi’s Favorite Books of 2013
There were a lot of surprises for me in 2013. I fell for a lizard. An actual alien lizard. I fell for a sweeping male/male fantasy story. But there were also some authors that made my list that are no surprise at all including Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews. Let’s get to it. Captive Prince Volume One and Two by S.U. Pacat Review l Goodreads l Kindle A favorite read of the year and the trilogy isn’t even over yet! I can barely stand the wait. This is a male/male fantasy story, and while I Continue Reading
Looking Ahead to January
Don’t worry – Smex Scene Sunday isn’t going away. I just don’t have a good scene to post today – I blame the holidays for screwing up my reading schedule! But as I was glancing through my schedule to see what review books I have coming up, I realized January is shaping up to be a damn good month, or at least one can hope. I did get a head-start. I’ve read the crackalicious The Destiny of Violet & Luke by Jessica Sorensen, which has characters even more screwed up than Callie & Continue Reading
Christmas Novella Round-up
I read a bunch of Christmas novellas recently so I thought I’d put them all into one big post. Just a Holiday Fling by Tiffany Marie Blurb: Samantha isn’t feeling very festive as she heads back to her childhood hometown for Christmas—but being alone, homeless, and verging on jobless can do that to a woman. She has no interest in participating in the town Christmas celebrations and would rather just crawl into bed until the holidays are over. Determined to get back into the Christmas spirit, Continue Reading
