May 25, 2022 by Jen Leave a Comment

Starry Eyed Love by Helena HuntingRomantic ComedyMay 10, 2022Macmillan Audio Review by Jen Starry Eyed Love by Helena Hunting is the second book in the Spark House series. You can listen or read it without having read book one.  Some background- Spark House is a boutique hotel in Colorado run by the Spark sisters. They create unique events and operate their business through the lens of sustainability. This second book features London Spark, the crafty (as in Etsy crafts!) middle Continue Reading

Audio Review: The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

The Atlas Six by Olivie BlakeContemporary FantasyMarch 1, 2022Macmillan Audio Review by Jen First, I’m so excited that I found libro.fm because it’s a book site that supports independent booksellers. I love Amazon, but this was a nice find.  The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is a dark academia book that has been on my list for quite a while. It was a huge hit on booktok and was optioned by Amazon for a series. I ended up listening to this one and really enjoyed it! With that said, Continue Reading

Review: The Royals of Forsyth University by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue

April 21, 2022 by Jen 6 Comments

Series: The Royals of Forsyth University by Angel Lawson and Samantha RueNew Adult RomanceFebruary 12, 2021 Review by Jen This reverse harem series by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue is VERY intense and if you have any triggers, they’re probably somewhere in one of these books. Seriously. Not a series for the sensitive, check content warnings.  Lords of Pain is the first book. Our heroine Story has a troubled past. She’s no angel, and her mom was a prostitute, her step dad met Continue Reading

Review: The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. ArmentroutFantasy RomanceBlue Box PressMarch 15, 2022 Review by Jen Whew…The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a LONG book. I think it was 25 hours!! I’ve listened to every book in this series- with two more to go- and the author changed this one up a bit with dual narration. It stunned me at first when Casteel spoke and low and behold it was a real guy! After the initial shock, I did really enjoy his voice.  There’s been some Continue Reading

Holy crap, it’s nearly 90 degrees here today!! We just went from spring to summer in one hot second. On my sweaty mid-afternoon walk today, I listened to Circe by Madeline Miller. It’s great and I’ve got about three hours left before the end. Anything could happen, but Song of Achilles by Miller is still my favorite from this author. I’m also inching towards the finish line on the third book in the Lords of Forsyth series. That review will be a doozy. I’m fanning myself. My book club is meeting Continue Reading

Happy Friday people of book land! I hope everyone had a GREAT week. I’m super happy right now, I’ve been working with a startup and we had a major breakthrough. Yay! Some bad news… my daughter has Covid. She’s going to be fine, on the mend now, but is in college and it was quite scary for her and us. Stay safe and healthy out there everyone!  #1 I learned a new word and will endeavor to use it weekly.  #2 Plot twist #3 I wonder what products she uses? #4 Ah yes…the Continue Reading

Smexy’s Best of Kindle Unlimited

The Best of Kindle Unlimited

Hey, It’s Jen! I’m a major reader of KU books and love recommendations to fill my 20 book quota a month. Truth be told…I always have 20 in my queue, and when I see a shiny new book I move them around. It’s a shell game I play weekly. We all thought it’d be fun to list our favorite KU books; check out some old and some new KU must clicks below. Happy Reading! The Underdogs series by Kate Stewart- I loved every one of these books! Each one is hot, sweet, funny and full of heart. The series Continue Reading

Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover

Reminders of Him by Colleen HooverNew Adult RomanceJanuary 18, 2022 Review by Jen I am once again asking you to read Colleen Hoover. Reminders of Him was soooo good! I used my KU membership and clicked it as one of my 20 books each month. Then, bought the audible, for I think $1.99. Well worth it!  This was a heartbreaker!!! It’s hard not to read a book like this and imagine the situation happening in your own life. Kenna is the FMC, she was found responsible for the death of Continue Reading

Happy Friday! How is everyone? We did our spring break trip to Scottsdale this year and had a great time. I read, relaxed, ate delicious meals and hiked a crazy steep mountain with hundreds of other people. I just started listening to The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout. The book is getting so many negative reviews, it’s sort of heartbreaking! So far I like it. Look for my review soon. #5 New fear unlocked #4 Eight lives left #3 Excuse me sir, I think you mean Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: Faefever by Karen Marie Moning

March 6, 2022 by Jen 1 Comment

When Angela first mentioned the idea of Scenic Sunday, I KNEW EXACTLY which series I wanted to revisit. I just wasn't sure which scene. Hmmm....so many great moments in the Fever Series. I think this series is what got me into urban fantasy and down the rabbit hole of Jeaniene Frost, Kresley Cole, Gena Showalter, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and of course, JR Ward. I seriously need to reread this series, it's been years. Jericho Barrons will always be my #1 book boyfriend!! I'm already Continue Reading
