Review: Unforgiven by Anne Calhoun

June 5, 2013 by Mandi Leave a Comment

First up is being the best man in his good friend’s wedding. And while this may seem like a fun, and joyous occasion, it is actually quite complicated. Growing up Adam fell in love with a girl named Marissa. Adam was always high speed, high powered everything. Continue Reading

Author Anne Calhoun: One Writer’s Balancing Act (Giveaway)

March 1, 2013 by Mandi 27 Comments

We are happy to have Anne Calhoun at Smexy today! From a “fresh and imaginative” (The Romance Studio) voice in erotic romance come the tales of two women, each daring to challenge the toughest of men…but in these edgy, heated encounters, the greatest thing she’ll risk is her heart. In Over the Edge, after a tragic incident during Ty Hendricks’ last tour of duty he cut off all connection with anyone he cares about—until a night with Lauren Kincaid draws him reluctantly back into the Continue Reading

Review: Uncommon Pleasure by Anne Calhoun

March 1, 2013 by Mandi 1 Comment

Uncommon Pleasure by Anne Calhoun Erotic Contemporary Romance Releases: March 5, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Uncommon Pleasure contains two novellas, each with a different hero and heroine (and happily ever after) but the stories do intertwine. Over the Edge A word used a couple of times to describe Ty Hendricks, former marine now part time oil rigger and part time security specialist in this book is “contradiction.” Our heroine Lauren sees him as two people. The first time Continue Reading

Guest Author Anne Calhoun and Giveaway

December 18, 2012 by Mandi 22 Comments

Earlier today I reviewed Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun, a very well done erotic novella. We are happy to have her and her sexy hero, Ronan at Smexy to chat. Hot Men at Work (aka Ronan O’Rourke, Lieutenant, FDNY at your service) I interviewed Ronan for this blog. Crafting his responses into something readable was beyond me, so I’m transcribing the interview as it happened at the Starbucks at 87thand Lex on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Ronan: I’ve got ten minutes before I have to be back Continue Reading

Review: Breath on Embers Anne Calhoun

December 18, 2012 by Mandi 8 Comments

Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun Erotic Contemporary Novella December 3, 2012 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi This book isn’t your standard, feel good holiday romance. Don’t misunderstand, there is a happy ever after, although I may have sniffled my way through it and it is very well done. Thea Moretti has been grieving her husband for two years. Deeply grieving, where she has left her home state of Ohio, and moved to New York City. The city is a third character in this book. Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–June 15th

June 15, 2012 by Mandi 41 Comments

  10. I’m not going to fill up today’s top ten with Magic Mike pictures again. I swear. *shifty eyes* Of course, that means you miss the red band trailer where you see Channing’s butt. Or this picture of Channing’s butt. Or this one of Matt Bomer’s butt. Or these butts. I COULD DO A TOP TEN OF JUST BUTTS! But let’s keep it classy, folks.   9.  I love Charlotte Stein’s voice. She wrote Sheltered, which is a contemporary I highly recommend. And Control, which is an erotic Continue Reading

Tori’s Favorite Books of 2011

December 26, 2011 by Tori 16 Comments

2011 has been a big year for my library. I was introduced to new authors, became reacquainted with old authors, and even had a few break ups. I wish I could list every book I’ve read this year in here because there were hundreds that were wonderful. As usual, I went a little overboard on my list. I hope you enjoy. :) Immortal Rider (Lords of Deliverance, #2) by Larissa Ione (Review) The second installment of the Ione’s sexy, funny, action packed Lord Of Deliverance series takes us for quite Continue Reading
