Smexy’s Top Ten – June 10
Meet Tinker - She isn't the best at being cat. 10. This is me, this week. Barely surviving these last weeks of school. Four more school days left and we've made it! 9. I really enjoy Kristen Callihan's writing, and she knocks it out of the park with her new rock star book, Idol. I LOVED this book.

Liberty is super Continue Reading

Cover Reveal: Beyond Surrender by Kit Rocha and Giveaway!!
Getting to HEA While writing the eighth book in the Beyond series, I tweeted once or twice about needing Kleenex while writing because shit was getting seriously real. There may have been jokes about death tolls rising and my co-writer and me being on a mad killing spree. It started as a joke, but what followed was the magic that makes Twitter so fun—a spontaneous discussion of the promise of HEA in a romance series and whether that promise extends beyond the end of the Continue Reading
Review: Primal Instinct by Tara Wyatt
Primal Instinct by Tara Wyatt (Bodyguard #2) Released: May 31, 2016 Romantic Suspense Forever Reviewed by Mandi Book two in this bodyguard series, I didn't enjoy the suspense part as much but the romance worked well for me. Taylor has had a hit record that made her a very big music star. But now she is in a rut - trying to find that creative juice to make another record under the pressure of a deadline. She also had a tiny incident on a plane, that involved joining the mile high Continue Reading
