Hero: Lieutenant Derek Tyler. Dirty talker. Bossy in bed. Doesn’t know who Dolly Parton is. Heroine: Ginger Peet. A bartender who likes dirty talkers, especially if they are cops. She owns a beloved five foot statue of Dolly Parton. Derek roughly pulled Ginger off the counter and turned her around to face the mirror. He yanked her back against his body so she could feel his need for her, then brought her hands up around the back of his neck. The position stretched her body, leaving her Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–April 5th
10. This pretty much sums up me writing the Top Ten today. I’m just gonna wing it. Plus who can resist a donkey wearing pants and shoes. (Don’t worry, this won’t be the top ten hottest donkey post. Hot men are to come. Hee Haw!) 9. Nalini Singh always gets the BEST covers for her Guild Hunter series. Archangel’s Legion comes out in late October and will go back to Raphael and Elena. I love it. Go to Goodreads to read the blurb. Of course who cares about this book when we have Continue Reading
Review: The Wanderer by Robyn Carr
The Wanderer by Robyn Carr (Thunder Point #1) March 26, 2013 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce When Hank Cooper receives a call that his good friend Ben Bailey has suddenly died and has left something for him, he packs up his truck and trailer and heads to the Oregon Coast.

Review: Let It Be Me by Kate Noble
Let it be Me by Kate Noble April 2, 2013 Historical Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I’m a big fan of Kate Noble’s books, and Let It Be Me brings in a fresh, sweet, romance book set it Venice. Bridget has great talent playing the piano although now she struggles with an acute case of stage fright. Nonetheless, music is in her blood, and the piano is her passion. Years ago she impressed Italian composer Vincenzo Carpenini when he visited at her parents house. In present day, Continue Reading
Review: Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux
Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #7) April 1, 2013 M/M Romantic Suspense Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “You’re the best partner I could have asked for.” I always like to make the disclaimer when I write these reviews that I’m a fangirl for this series. Meaning – I’m so incredibly invested in Ty and Zane (they are my favorite characters in all of romance) that my reviews of these books are not necessarily objective. Things that may annoy others or not work Continue Reading
A Chat with Alex Hughes *Giveaway*
Earlier today I reviewed Sharp, the second book in Alex Hughes Mindspace Investigative series. Now she is here for a chat! Who is Alex Hughes? Give us the low down. Alex Hughes is a total nerd, a history major, a science geek, a foodie, a good friend, and a lot of fun. As a writer, she loves madness, adventure, strange worlds and strange people. She took ballet for years growing up, she read DragonFlight at age thirteen, she’s mad for neuroscience, and she loves to cook and to eat a ridiculous Continue Reading
Review: Sharp by Alex Hughes
Sharp by Alex Hughes (Mindspace Investigation #2) April 2, 2013 Futuristic Suspense Roc Reviewed by Mandi Going by the number of Goodreads and Amazon reviews for this series, I say – this is the best series you are not reading. It’s like JD Robb meets Jim Butcher. Set in the future, with a strong murder-mystery suspense element, the world is the result of a Tech war, where millions died and technology can no longer be trusted. Our hero, Adam is a very high-level telepath who Continue Reading
Review: Love Irresistibly by Julie James
Love Irresistibly by Julie James (FBI/US Attorney #4) April 2, 2013 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Thank God I’m not wearing the red high heels today,” she said. “In two minutes you’ll be wearing nothing,” he said in a low voice. Well, then. Julie James puts out one book a year and the wait is torturous but I’d wait even longer if it means she will continue to put consistent high quality romance books. She writes smart, mature Continue Reading
Reviews: Strangers on a Train Collection
A while ago, Ruthie Knox, Meg Maguire, Serena Bell, Donna Cummings and Samantha Hunter were on Twitter admiring a tumblr devoted to hot men on trains and the idea for the collection came to be. Earlier today I reviewed Thank You for Riding by Meg Maguire. Now I review the other four stories. All can be purchased separately and they are not related to one another. Big Boy by Ruthie Knox Mandy’s life has gone into an upheaval in the past year after her sister and her family were killed by a Continue Reading
