Smexy’s Top Ten–September 30th
10. My Week – I went to my favorite used bookstore this week. It’s always a special treat to go to. It is owned by this very eldery man and last time I went, I dropped off many books, some brand new, some only read once – and he gave me about $.68 cents for the entire bag. I love him so much. LOL. You can find awesome, awesome deals in this store. The above picture is only one aisle of romance books he has. There is another side to it. Heaven. 9. It’s time to gather around Auntie Continue Reading

Review: Doukakis’s Apprentice by Sarah Morgan
Doukakis’s Apprentice by Sarah Morgan Contemporary Romance September 20, 2011 Paperback Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi What an adorable book this is, and at only 186 pages, Sarah Morgan delivers a very believable romance. To say Polly Prince is stressed is an understatement. Her father, and creator of Prince Advertising is nowhere to be found. Presumably shacked up with none other than her nemesis's sister, who happens to be 30 years younger than he is. Picking up the slack like she Continue Reading
