Smexy’s Top Ten–December 9th
10. The Christmas tree is up and hubs and I didn’t even threaten to divorce each other once! Getting the tree to stand upright without falling over in the stand is probably the most stressful 30 minutes of our marriage every year. It also helped that I spiked hubs eggnog prior to doing the tree. The holidays are in full swing. 9. This week I finished up the Florida series by KA Mitchell. I really enjoyed all three books. As I said last week, they are heavy on the sex but I think they show Continue Reading

Guest Author Jennifer Armentrout and Giveaway
We are happy to have Jennifer Armentrout at Smexy today to celebrate her release of her new book, Obsidian. Take it away, Jennifer! If you’ve read Half-Blood or Obsidian, it’s pretty obvious I’m big on the romance. I don’t think I could write a book that didn’t have a decent amount of love fest going on. Romance is always integral to whatever book I’m writing, and I think one of the reason why I love writing it so much is because I LOVE reading it. Especially in young adult books. That Continue Reading

Mini Reviews From Jill
Occasional guest reviewer Jill Sorenson is back with some mini reviews for us. Hi Smexy! Thanks for having me back. I thought I’d do a quick wrap-up of some of the f/f and f/f/m stories I’ve read this year. Forbidden by Em Petrova: I requested this anthology on NetGalley because it had an f/f story. Noelle, the heroine, goes to an all-girl party with a murder/mystery theme. There are clues--and scantily clad ladies involved in shocking sex acts--around every corner. Noelle finds Continue Reading

Review: Agony/Ecstasy Anthology
Review: Agony/Ecstasy Anthology December 6, 2011 Erotic Berkley Trade Reviewed by Mandi The Agony/Ecstasy anthology is made up of “11 stories of agonizing pleasure and 10 stories of exquisite pain.” I was hesitant to read this, because I’m not huge on anthologies to begin with and I thought 21 very short stories would not be for me. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. Many are edgy and all are erotic. I decided to give my brief thoughts on each one. On the Continue Reading
