Review: Exposed to You by Beth Kery
Exposed to You by Beth Kery Released: November 6, 2012 Erotic Contemporary Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I’m a big fan of Beth Kery. She not only gives us some smokin’ hot sex, but a really well done story in this book. Let me also note, while these are all stand alones, she previously published two books, Addicted to You and Bound to You under the pen name Bethany Kane. The hero and heroines from those books are brought in as supporting characters in this book. I highly recommend Continue Reading
Review: Night Whispers by Alisha Rai
Night Whispers by Alisha Rai (ShadowLands #1) Paranormal Romance Released: November 6, 2012 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “And I do know you, love. I know you better than anyone. Maybe even you.” Before I start, let me just say – don’t let the cover fool you. Yes this book has a very kick ass heroine who faces down baddies, but this book has a very sweet, adorable tone to it. I don’t feel like the cover portrays that well. Anyway! I usually shy away from books with Continue Reading
Review: Lord Gray’s List by Maggie Robinson
Lord Gray’s List by Maggie Robinson (The London List #1) Released: October 30, 2012 Historical Romance Brava Reviewed by Mandi Lord Gray, or Ben to his friends is sick of being quoted on London’s popular newspaper, The London List every Tuesday. Each week the antics of ‘Lord G’ are printed for all to read. From the women he beds to the clubs he visits. Yes he is a rake and he likes women, but he doesn’t need everyone to know everything about him and he is determined to put a stop Continue Reading
Review: Double Time by Olivia Cunning
Double Time by Olivia Cunning (Sinners on Tour #3) Released: November 6, 2012 M/M/F Erotic Romance Sourcebooks Reviewed by Mandi I didn’t have high expectations coming into this book. Book one, Backstage Pass was fun and really dirty, but the story line was just okay. And then I really didn’t like book two (the hero and I did NOT get along.) But I wanted to give this series one more chance and I’m glad I did. I also want to note that although this is the third book published in this Continue Reading
Guest Author Grace Burrowes
We are happy to have Grace Burrowes at Smexy today to celebrate her release of Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight. The marriage of convenience holds pride of place as one of the most venerable Regency plot devices, and has seen service among paranormal authors, and even some contemporary category writers. I made glancing use of it in Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight, though of course, true love has to go and bollix up that plan by about page 50. Is the marriage of convenience just a pretext to Continue Reading
Review: Heart of Danger by Lisa Marie Rice
Heart of Danger by Lisa Marie Rice (Ghost Ops #1) Romantic Suspense Releases: November 6, 2012 Avon Reviewed by Mandi Before I get into the review, let me start by saying how crazy and over the top Lisa Marie Rice books can be. I feel like I have to put that warning out there if you are a LMR virgin. The characters are all super intelligent, super stealthy. They have millions of dollars of security and weapons and the most advanced technology ever. And when they fall in love, Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten Reasons to Read Iced by Karen Marie Moning
Note: There are spoilers below!! Lots of spoilers!! You have been warned. Before I get into the list, let me say a few things. First of all, I’m a huge fan of the Fever series and I was desperate to get my hands on this book. For those that are new to this author, I feel the Fever series must be read before you read Iced, as this book builds on previous events. While I was excited for this one, I was also nervous. Dani (the heroine) wasn’t a favorite character of mine in previous books. Being Continue Reading
