Jen’s Mini Audio Book Reviews: Books by Madeline Miller and Sarah Ready
Both of these books were winners! So very different, but excellent in their own ways. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller was on my TBR list for a long time. This book has great buzz and it absolutely lived up to the hype!! I will be recommending this to everyone I meet. I cried at the end. Right up to the last moment I thought it was going to end a certain way and it went in another direction. The writing is so beautiful and tugged at all of my emotions. The book is about one of Continue Reading
Review: On a Night Like This by Lindsey Kelk
Smexy has a new reviewer! Everyone welcome Iby! On a Night Like This by Lindsey KelkContemporary RomanceJanuary 18, 2022, by Harper360/ HarperCollinsARC Review by Iby I love a good contemporary British romance book… something halfway between women’s fiction and a romcom, strongly character-driven focused on a woman who needs to make changes in her life. The hero is usually in the background, and the romance is usually slow burn and clean. If you like books by Josie Silver, Mhairi Continue Reading

Love & Other Disasters by Anita KellyContemporary RomanceJanuary 18, 2022, by Forever Review by Melinda I've raved about Anita Kelly's first two books and have been really anticipating her debut with Forever.

Dahlia and London are competitors on a cooking show and one of the things I loved so much is that there is no antagonism between them at all. Just encouragement and laughter and love of the craft. I felt like the Continue Reading

Review: Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon
Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn SolomonContemporary RomanceJanuary 11, 2022 by BerkleyARC Review by Melanie The first book I read in 2021 was a book by Rachel Lynn Solomon titled The Ex Talk. It was actually my very first review for Smexy (you can find the review here) and I loved it so much and was super excited to find a new to me author whose voice just worked for me. I’m excited to say that Weather Girl was maybe even better. There was so much to love about this book that it’s kind of Continue Reading
