Earlier this year I read a novella from Serena Bell in the Strangers on a Train anthology and I remember immediately going to Goodreads to look through her back list. Except, she didn’t have a back list because that novella was her first book. The horror!! So I am so excited to share her soon-to-be released books! We get three stories from her in the next few months. It’s wrong to play favorites, but I’ll confess that Brett Jordan is my favorite hero I’ve written so far. And not just because Continue Reading
Sarah Morgan Deals!
I love, love, love Sarah Morgan books and some are on sale right now. For Layla, princess of Tazkhan, her arranged marriage means one thing—a lifetime of cruelty and captivity. Such an unendurable prospect drives her to throw herself at the mercy of Sheikh Raz Al Zahki—her family's greatest enemy! Raz demands one thing in return for the safe haven Layla is seeking—this brooding desert king wants to make her his queen! Her freedom might be secured, but now her heart is at risk, for Continue Reading
Review: Friday Afternoon by Sylvia Ryan
Friday Afternoon by Sylvia Ryan Released: September 2, 2013 Erotic Lyrical Press Reviewed by Mandi Blurb: Before kids and the responsibility of life, Levi and I shared a spontaneous, erotic, and deliciously deviant marriage. Years transformed what we had into something comfortable and worn. It hurts me to think his desire for me has cooled. I miss that look of his. Slightly evil and totally hot, like he wanted to devour me. Haven’t seen it in ages. When I first married Mia, she Continue Reading
Guest Author Katie Porter: Gimme a Scarred Hero *Giveaway*
Gimme a Scarred Hero by Katie Porter Note: I had to double check that the title was “scarred” rather than “scared,” because I can’t imagine wanting a scared hero. Capt. Eric “Kisser” Donaghue survived a fighter jet plane crash at the end of book four of our “Vegas Top Guns” series, Hard Way. Now, in Bare Knuckle [http://katieporterbooks.com/books/vegas-top-guns/bare-knuckle/] he’s back to deal with the repercussions of facing death—and walking away with intimidating scars. Because his Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten– October 18th.
10. Blunt card is back with 50 new cards. I chose the most appropriate card I could find for Top Ten. Honest. 9. Carly Phillips has news – she is self publishing her next series! You can go to her site for more info and for the blurb. But I will copy/paste this: In the past my books have been sweet and sexy contemporaries with a small town setting, but with DARE TO LOVE I’m turning up the heat. The Dare to Love Series will be steamier, sexier and hotter than anything I’ve ever written. Continue Reading
Brazen Halloween Blog Tour: Tessa Bailey shares an Original Scene
The Lovers Unmasked Anthology just released (read my review here) and Tessa Bailey’s contribution continues Derek and Ginger’s story. There full-length book, Protecting What’s His is really sexy and fun. I like these two, especially Derek’s dirty talking ways. Tessa Bailey is visiting Smexy today to give us an original scene featuring Derek and Ginger. Yay! Ginger wrinkled her nose at the stack of take-out menus fanned out on her desk. At three-months pregnant, she’d gotten used to being Continue Reading
Review: Unbound by Cara McKenna
Unbound by Cara McKenna Released: October 16, 2013 Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi I’ve said this countless times on this blog but I love Cara McKenna’s voice. She always gives me something different in her stories, and many times they are filled with characters who are not super rich or have wealthy backgrounds or families. They are just people, usually one of them struggling with something quite dark, and we get to see them fall in love and realize what they are Continue Reading
Mandi’s New Favorite Book–The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith
It was her last chance: Amber Bierce had nothing left except her sister and two tickets on Earth’s first colony-ship. She entered her Sleeper with a five-year contract and the promise of a better life, but awakened in wreckage on an unknown world. For the survivors, there is no rescue, no way home and no hope until they are found by Meoraq—a holy warrior more deadly than any hungering beast on this hostile new world…but whose eyes show a different sort of hunger when he looks at her. It was Continue Reading
