Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors (Jane Jameson #4) Urban Fantasy February 28, 2012 Pocket Reviewed by Mandi I adore the Jane Jameson series by Molly Harper and was so excited when I learned she would be writing a fourth book.

For example, BDSM: Spelling it out in Erotic Romance or Searching for the Elusive F/M/F Menage in Erotic Romance (Oh, that is a hard one to find.)

Smex Scene Sunday
I had a hard time finding a scene from this book to share with you today because they are SO explicit. Which I approved of as I read, but I need more coffee before I can type out these naughty words. *grins* So I’m just giving you a brief glimpse into Ren and Lucas’s relationship. As the story progresses, Ren’s former love, Cole comes into the picture. I liked how the Ren/Lucas/Cole dynamics were handled. “On your knees.” Ren slid gracefully to her knees, thighs open, lips parted, Continue Reading

Review: Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas
Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas Contemporary Romance (with magical element) February 28, 2012 St. Martin’s Reviewed by Mandi I’m relatively new to Lisa Kleypas contemporaries. I’m a huge fan of her historicals and decided to try Smooth Talking Stranger this year on audio. I ended up loving it, and still plan to read the other two in that series. But I didn’t want to let this new contemporary pass me by. I was hesitant though for one main reason – magic. I don’t like magic in my Continue Reading

Guest Author: Thea Harrison
Just Between You and Me I’m delighted to be back on Smexy Books! Thank you for having me! When I sat down to consider the possible smexiness of another blog with you, I got to thinking about a recommendation made by a follower from Twitter who said she loves to hear about the little tidbits that only the author knows about the characters. That turned my thoughts to having a good old-fashioned gossip fest, and I decided it would be really fun to share with you, the readers, little snippets from Continue Reading
