A Way Home by Keira Andrews (Gay Amish Romance #3) Released: April 8, 2015 Contemporary M/M Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi The third and final book in this delightful m/m Amish series. I recommend reading all three, as David and Isaac's relationship progress in each book (see my review of book one). At the start of this one, David and Isaac are at odds. David was caught kissing another man and then Isaac received the devastating news that his brother back home in Zebulon, Continue Reading

Review: Taken by Charlotte Stein
Taken by Charlotte Stein (Under the Skin #3) Released: April 14, 2015 Erotic Romance Avon Impulse Reviewed by Mandi First, this cover represents nothing about this book. So disregard! I read the first page of this book, and immediately cuddled into my couch a little tighter. Stein's voice, her characters and her erotic words make me happy. The one I call the secret werewolf in my head - because honestly, that is what he looks like. He wears tweedy jackets with leather elbow patches Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – April 17th
10. Chewie, we're home. And the internet broke. The Star Wars trailer released yesterday and all I saw was - "I'm too nervous to watch." "What if it sucks" 2 min later -" OMG it doesn't suck!!!" 9.

Review: Stepbrother Master by Ava Jackson
Stepbrother Master by Ava Jackson Released: March 25, 2015 Erotic Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Off the top of my head, I think this is the first "Stepbrother" romance I have read. I honestly thought it would be more taboo-feeling than it turned out to be. Emma's mom is on marriage four and has found the new love of her life on a Montana Ranch. Emma flies out for the wedding, to meet her new stepfather and stepbrother for the first time. Ford works on the ranch for his father Continue Reading
Wicked Wednesday: Step-Sibling Romance
A new feature at Smexy Books! Each hump day we will discuss an erotic topic, or a particular scene from a book and then later in the day we will review an erotic book. I can't guarantee the book we review will be a recommendation (for example, the book reviewed later today is not getting a good grade) but maybe readers can chime in with recommendations. This is our Wednesday plan. If anyone wants a particular erotic book or topic discussed, shoot Mandi an email. (mandi @ smexybooks.com). Continue Reading
Review: The Shameless Hour by Sarina Bowen
The Shameless Hour by Sarina Bowen (Ivy Years #4) New Adult Released: April 14, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "I'm supposed to be writing a paper about female subjugation. But all I want is for someone to give me a good pounding." Another outstanding book in the Ivy Years series. Our heroine is the high-spirited, energetic Bella who is the team manager of the Harkness hockey team and loves her job. And the players are all very fond of her. She has no qualms Continue Reading
Review: This Gun for Hire by Jo Goodman
This Gun for Hire by Jo Goodman Released: April 7, 2015 Western Historical Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I received this arc in the mail and thought I'd try it, but after I saw The BookPusher's review, I knew it was a must read. What a fun and smart book. Calico Nash is our heroine, and not only does she have an awesome name but she is an awesome person all around. Calico is a bounty hunter, learning how to shoot a gun by the age of ten from her father. Set in Colorado in the late Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Hero: Jake. Bossy. Owns a custom body repair shop. Has long hair and wears it up in a messy knot. Is gorgeous and has gorgeous friends. Heroine: Baker extraordinaire. Virgin (of course) Meets Jake and then every single guy she meets worships her (of course). On my knees in between his spread thighs, I ran my fingers along the edge of his boxer briefs. I felt a thrill as his abdominal muscles clenched and his cock jumped and strained. I hooked my fingers into the waistband, feeling his rough Continue Reading
