Smexy’s Top Ten – September 17th
10. My week – Is it really already the middle of September? Well – my week…. The hot tub is still sitting in the driveway. That pretty much summarizes the past seven days. Not much has happened ;) 9. Months ago (maybe a year ago) K.C. from Smokin’ Hot Books started pimping out Enlightened by J.P Barnaby – a young adult m/m book. I read her review, and then bought the book immediately, but it sat on my Kindle, and got pushed way, way down list. Recently, I noticed J.P Barnaby on Twitter which Continue Reading
Guest Author Stephanie Julian and Giveaway
Smexy is happy to have Stephanie Julian visiting again. This time she wants to know: When does size really matter? Well, that depends on what we’re talking about, doesn’t it? Cell phones and MP3 players? We want those to be small enough to fit in our pocket. TV? Give me a 50-inch plasma, baby, big enough to obscure an entire wall. I want the small dinner plate but a huge piece of chocolate cake. In real life, I’m married to a great guy who only stands about 5’8” and weighs less than I do Continue Reading
Review: Size Matters by Stephanie Julian
Size Matters by Stephanie Julian Erotic Paranormal Romance September 8, 2010 Novella, E-Book Ellora’s Cave Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Especially when she wrapped one hand around his cock and realized her fingers didn’t meet. Thank you, Goddess of…well, whatever goddess handled huge guys with accessories to match. Carrie Benton loves her job working for the Weekly News Journal. So what if they cover crop circles and big foot sightings, serious journalism bores her and she Continue Reading

Book Blogger Appreciation Week – Best Romance Blog
Book Blogger Appreciation Week announced yesterday that Smexy Books won Best Romance Book Blog. Wooo and Hooo! *throws confetti and opens a box of wine for all* Before I go any further I have to say a huge addition to Smexy this year has been Tori. It’s funny, when I asked for reviewers many months ago, Tori emailed me back (along with many others) and I had never spoken to her before - at least I don’t think so. I felt the example review she sent me just fit at Smexy so well. So over the past Continue Reading
Review: Vampire Trinity by Joey W. Hill
Vampire Trinity (Vampire Queen #6) by Joey W. Hill Erotic Paranormal Romance September 7, 2010 Trade Paperback, 416 Pages Berkley Trade Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Shouldn’t you be putting on make-up and curling your hair, doing girly stuff?” “I consider doing you girly stuff.” Vampire Trinity is the sequel to Vampire Mistress (Vampire Queen #5) , and these two books must be read in order to get the full impact of everything that is going on in the story, although they Continue Reading
Guest Author: Erin McCarthy and Giveaway
I’m so happy to have Erin McCarthy at Smexy today! I recently enjoyed Hot Finish by her and now she has a new book out with Bianca D’Arc and Jennifer Lyon, The Beast Within. Take it away Erin! Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday, which means 365 days until I turn 40. It’s a milestone age that gets most of us thinking in some way and I figure if I get the thinking done now, I can just party next year. ;-) I’m not afraid of aging, though I could do without the encroaching Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – September 10th
10. My Week – School is in full session, which means I get two hours a day to myself. I like it :) We also got a hot tub delivered! Woot! But it is sitting in my driveway because it weighs 500 pounds and we have no idea how to get it over our fence into our backyard. Unwoot. 9.
