Ocean Light by Nalini Singh The Trinity #2, Psy-Changeling #17 PNR Berkley June 12, 2018 Favorite Quote: They might only have a fragment of an instant in time, but he’d make that fragment extraordinary. Ocean Light is Bowen Knight's story; the leader of the Human Alliance and one of the leaders in the Trinity Accord. Fans have been expecting his story, straddling the fence and withholding our forgiveness over his past deeds. Bowen had an experimental chip put in that blocks the Psy's Continue Reading
Mandi’s Monday Musings – More Than You by Mia Sheridan and Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn
More Than Words by Mia Sheridan Releases: June 12, 2018 Contemporary Romance Most of All You, Sheridan's book published last year, is a favorite of mine. It made me feel all the feels. More Than Words was greatly anticipated, but it misses the mark. We meet Jessica and Callen as teenagers, they randomly meet one day at an abandoned train car, as they are both looking for escapism. Jessica's dad is a serial cheater and her mom falls apart each time. Callen's dad verbally abuses and shames Continue Reading
Mandi’s Review of Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield
Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield Released: June 11, 2018 Erotic Romance Self Publishe Reviewed by Mandi I've loved Tessa Bailey since her first book - and I just discovered Eve Dangerfield last year and I really like her voice. So when I saw these two were pairing up to write a book, I squeaked. And when I read this line: "Unzip my pants and greet your new keeper.” I giggled!!! Oh dirty, dirty fun. I love the set-up in this one. Autumn is from Australia and moves to Continue Reading

Mandi’s Monday Musings: Jo Goodman and Helena Hunting
A Touch of Flame by Jo Goodman Releases: June 5, 2018 Western Historical I loved this book. It's not the fastest paced, or the sexiest but it completely worked for me. Our hero is Ben Madison, who is the newly elected sheriff of Frost Falls, Colorado. Taking place in 1898, Ben is the most easy-going, never-to-get-riled hero I've read. That doesn't mean he is stupid or doesn't care, he just likes to observe and play along real nice with the folks, to keep everyone peaceful and happy. He puts Continue Reading

Sheena’s Mini Reviews
Series: The MacGregors: Highland Heirs, #7 Historical Romance Grade: A Whenever I get a hankering for a beautifully written historical romance, I look no further than Paula Quinn. She just has a knack for creating these beautiful worlds with rich characters all against the picturesque Scottish highlands, I'm always, already mid swoon as soon as I crack (click?) it open. Book 7 is about Lachlin Mackenzie, a (scarred!! swoon level +1000) widower and father to a wife and daughter who were Continue Reading
Review: Making Up by Lucy Parker
Making Up by Lucy Parker (London Celebrities #3) Released: May 28, 2018 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I highly recommend this author if you have yet to try her. This is the third book I've read by her and they have all been adorable and sweet and sexy. In Making Up, we return to the theater, but in a burlesque/acrobatic show. The Festival of Masks is a little bit of everything - lewd humor, amazing aerial skills, singing, dancing and it's a very popular show. When Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
Welcome to the first edition of Kini’s Friday Kisses, hereby known as #kinisfridaykisses or #kfk I have been losing my reading and reviewing mojo lately, but I am really excited about the format change at Smexy. FYI- I was avoiding coming up with a name for my date because I am HORRIBLE at naming things. I texted Mandi Wednesday night hoping she had something fun and clever. She didn't. So I googled "reading words that start with F" Nothing interesting appeared. I changed it to K and got Continue Reading
