Stripped by Tori St. Claire Erotic Romantic Suspense January 3, 2011 Penguin Reviewed by Mandi When Tori St. Claire contacted me to request a review of Stripped, I honestly wasn't sure I wanted to read it. I believe this is the first book for St. Claire, although she also is published under the name Claire Ashgrove. The blurb sounded a little over the top — but I was kind of in the mood for that. And, I have to say, this book turned out to be very good. The actual story is maybe not Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Please Note: This post is more explicit than the normal posts here at Smexy. No contest in this week’s favorite sex scene..the hard part was figuring out which of the many smexy scenes in this book to include. So I’ll tease with the start of the very first scene…. “But it is a long ride. I don’t want you to get bored and change your mind. Unzip.” “What?” But his hand was already on his zipper. “Open your pants and take out your cock.” Quinn accelerated up the ramp to the Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–January 6th
10. It’s a new year! Anyone make any resolutions? I think the only resolution I made last year was to have sex with Barrons. Oddly enough, that didn’t come true. Should I continue to wait? 9. Speaking of Barrons, Karen Marie Moning has said she will begin posting teasers for ICED, the first book in her new series featuring Dani, on her Facebook page starting January 17th. (Instead of her newsletters as she did with the Fever series). Last week on Facebook, she also posted a quote from Adam Continue Reading
Review: Assume the Position by T.C. Lee
Assume the Position by T.C. Lee Erotica December 15, 2011 Firefly & Wisp Publishing Reviewed by Mandi I’m not sure why I accepted this review request. Maybe because it was the start of a new year and I was feeling adventurous. The title made me snort, and I liked the idea of an erotic book involving a police officer. I tried to go into this book just expecting crazy sex (which there is) and go with the erotica. But the non-sex scenes are weak. There is a murder storyline which just Continue Reading

Guest Author Shiloh Walker and Giveaway
This is the story of an asshole… Yep. “Sugar, you just don’t seem to get the picture here. You don’t have a choice.” Their eyes met, held, steely blue on darkest brown. She was the one to look away first. “Good-bye.” As she closed the door behind her, he could have sworn he heard something crack. But it wasn’t his heart—Taylor wasn’t so fucking stupid that he’d allow himself to fall for a woman he couldn’t have. And even if he was that stupid, surely he wouldn’t compound it by Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday
I thought I would start a feature where I would post a small excerpt of the hottest sex scene I read each week. A little something to spice up your Sunday. And the hottest smex of the week goes to…… He pushed his hips against her, his hard cock sliding up the curve of her back,. Melody squeezed her eyes shut against the electric shock of pleasure that sizzled through her, making all the tiny hairs on her arms stand on end. She was half hoping he’d just turn her around Continue Reading
