Smexy’s Top Ten – August 7
10. That's a lot of love folks - because I LOVE another two hours left to sleep. 9. Hey a new author alert! Joelle Knox! Sound familiar? No? Does Moira Rogers/Kit Rocha sound familiar? Yes? They have another pen name and another series coming out! This makes me happy. According to Heroes & Heartbreakers, it's a contemporary, not quite as dirty as their Kit Rocha O'Kane series - and it's more of a, rip your heart out story. I'll take it. Per their website: Anything but Continue Reading
Review: Brown-Eyed Girl by Lisa Kleypas
Brown-Eyed Girl by Lisa Kleypas (Travis Family #4) Releases: August 11, 2015 Contemporary Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Lowering his head, Joe murmured, "You're not in charge. I am." I went still. For some reason, hearing those soft words while he was pinning me down like that sent a deep, deranged thrill through me. His voice curled hotly in my ear. "You belong to me, and I'm going to have you. Here and now." Oh Joe Travis. We've waited a very, very long Continue Reading
Review: Bad News Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Bad News Cowboy by Maisey Yates Released: July 28, 2015 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi The third book in the Copper Ridge series (I hear there are more coming!), I've enjoyed the heck out of this entire series. We finally get Jack and Kate's story. Kate's two older brothers have already had books. Owning a family ranch with two, grumpy and cranky brothers, Kate has a lot of grief in her life. With no parents as a role model, she has grown up with two loving brothers, Continue Reading
Review: Spun by Shyla Colt
Spun by Shyla Colt (King of Chaos #1) Released: April 2015 Motorcycle Club Romance Hot Ink Reviewed by Mandi I thought I'd try the first book in this new motorcycle club romance series to see if the culture was something that I would enjoy. I didn't enjoy. Nevada is twenty-one and the daughter of a Chaos motorcycle club member. She was brought up at the club and it runs her life. She hasn't been able to make any of her own decisions and just wants to be free - but leaving the club Continue Reading
Wicked Wednesday: 30 Days by Christine d’Abo
Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mate, but not Alyssa Barrow. She met Rob at nineteen, and they were set to live happily ever after—until he became ill. In his final days, Rob urged his beautiful, young wife not to abandon happiness—or pleasure. He even left her a special gift, a sexy game plan to help her move on: Thirty cards with instructions for thirty days of passion. You’ll know when the time is right, he’d said. Now it’s two years later, and when Alyssa meets her hot Continue Reading

Review: The Long Fall of Night by AJ Rose
The Long Fall of Night by AJ Rose M/M Dystopian Released: June 17, 2015 Reviewed by Mandi End of the world plus male/male romance equals a premise that intrigues me. This is a straight up contemporary end of the world - a massive power outage and cell phones not working for at least half of the US. No zombies or paranormal things that are ending this world - just terrorists. Ash is in college out east and has an uncle out west who is an extreme conspiracy theorist. Even though Ash knows Continue Reading
