Review: Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma

March 15, 2022 by Kate H. 1 Comment

Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha SharmaIf Shakespeare was an Auntie #1Romantic Comedy/Contemporary RomanceMarch 15, 2022, by Avon and Harper Voyager Review by Kate H. For me, one of the best things about Dating Dr. Dil was that as a romantic comedy, the humor was in the situation and the snark, and not in the characters. Both main characters are fully drawn and easy to identify with, even when I didn’t agree with them. Kareena Mann is a thirty-year old who provides legal counsel to women Continue Reading

Review: Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey

March 2, 2022 by Angela 3 Comments

Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa BaileyBellinger Sisters #2Contemporary Romance3/1/2022, by Avon Review by Angela It Happened One Summer was one of my favorite books last year. When I tell you that I wanted Fox and Hannah's book desperately I'm not exaggerating. I would have done pretty much anything for an early copy. Which is why when it landed on my Kindle in October I dropped everything to read. And I was not disappointed. This is very much a determined bachelor bad boy turned Continue Reading

Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Debra Anastasia, A. Jade, and Ella Maise

February 25, 2022 by Jen 4 Comments

I’m going to review these in order with the best being last. Here we go! First up is Mercy by Debra Anastasia. New author to me that I listened to over the course of several days. Zachery Webber and Muffy Newtown are the narrators. I would listen to Webber read the dictionary. That’s how much I love his voice. Newtown didn’t do it for me, she’s sort of too breathless and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character.  Main characters Phoenix (nickname - Nix) and Becca first meet Continue Reading

The Lady Tempts an Heir by Harper St. GeorgeThe Gilded Age Heiresses Book 3Historical RomanceFebruary 22, 2022, by BerkleyARC Review by Melanie The Lady Tempts an Heir, the third and, I’m happy to say, not the last book, in Harper St. George’s The Gilded Age Heiresses series is delightful and charming and sexy, with two incredibly engaging main characters who share loads of chemistry.  If you’ve recently watched and enjoyed The Gilded Age on HBO, this entire series is worth Continue Reading

Review: Meet Me in the Margins by Melissa Ferguson

February 22, 2022 by Kate 1 Comment

Meet Me in the Margins by Melissa FergusonContemporary RomanceFebruary 15, 2022 by Thomas NelsonReviewed by Kate Meet Me in the Margins is a very cute, very bookish, romance. It has Hallmark channel movie vibes and is an enjoyable read. Meet Me in the Margins stars Savannah, an acquisitions editor at a literary fiction press, and William, the new boss, who happens to be the son of the owner of the publisher. Savannah is also an aspiring romance author, and one day in an attempt to hide Continue Reading

Audio Book Reviews: A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole and Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

February 18, 2022 by Jen 1 Comment

These books are vastly different and both were terrific. First up is A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole. So, “love” may not be exactly the right word to describe my listening experience. I don’t normally gravitate to the super sad books. But Rune and Poppy’s story was addicting to me and I pushed through the tears.  A Thousand Boy Kisses is a YA tearjerker that walks the line of being so saccharine that it’s almost cringey. The thousand kisses referenced in the title are a jar of Continue Reading

Review: Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik

February 1, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

Hunt the Stars by Jessie MihalikStarlight's Shadow #1Science Fiction RomanceFebruary 1, 2022, by Harper VoyagerARC Review by Angela Y'all. Y'ALL. This author just gets better and better with each new release. I might have mentioned that my addiction of choice in these trying times is fantasy/science fiction romance and whoooboy, was I glad I picked Hunt the Stars up for review because it rocked my socks off. This is the first book in the new Starlight's Shadow series and features both Continue Reading

Smexy has new reviewers! I'd like to welcome Kate H.! Getting His Game Back by Gia De Cadenet Contemporary Romance January 25, 2022, by Random House - Ballantine, Dell ARC Review by Kate H. The main characters in Gia De Cadenet’s debut novel have a lot on their plates, and that’s even before they meet each other. Vanessa is a dynamic app developer and entrepreneur who is doing well in an industry unused to black women’s leadership. Khalil is the co-owner of a local barbershop Continue Reading

Review: The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka

January 26, 2022 by Kate 2 Comments

The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-BrokaContemporary RomanceJanuary 25, 2022, by Berkely Reviewed by Kate It has taken me some time to write this review for The Roughest Draft. As I mulled it over in my head, I realized that it wasn’t really what I had expected going in, and while the unexpected aspects might be problematic for some romance readers, I absolutely loved this book.  The Roughest Draft is about Kat and Nathan, who had a writing partnership and Continue Reading

Review: Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall

January 25, 2022 by Kate 2 Comments

Something Fabulous by Alexis HallPublished on January 25, 2022 by MontlakeHistorical Romance Review by Kate Something Fabulous is a sheer delight of a romance novel. It’s a dramatic, gay, fluffy, joyous book that I enjoyed so much I have already re-read the first quarter before even starting this review.  At the beginning of Something Fabulous, Valentine proposes to Belle, who adamantly does not want to marry him. She runs off in the middle of the night (as one does in a Regency Continue Reading
