I first read this book in 2017 and have recommended this book approximately 5,000 times…give or take a few. It’s hands down my favorite contemporary grovel novel I’ve EVER read and until I read this book, I was laboring under the misconception that I didn’t care for enemies-to-lovers as a trope. Not only is that a big bold-faced lie, enemies-to-lovers is actually one of my all time favorite tropes in romance and this book was the first time I realized that. Aspen and Bram are like oil and 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
Review: Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley
Gouda Friends by Cathy YardleyContemporary Romance March 22, 2022, by Montlake ARC Review by Melanie This was one of the CUTEST contemporary romances I’ve read in a long time. Cathy Yardley is a new to me author but I will most definitely be checking out her backlist because based on this novel, her voice just really worked for me. This is the second book I’m reviewing for Smexy that has identical themes in that the book focuses quite a bit on FMCs personal journey as a Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday- Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean
This is one of my very favorite historical romances. I reread this book so often I think I've memorized whole chapters. This is the scene that leads to Callie and Ralston having smex for the first time. I also love the scene immediately after when Callie is furiously cleaning the library and Ralston comes to ask for her hand in marriage and she says no... which is like ten pages so you'll just have to go read it for yourself. 😊 This book is also getting a new cover for its paperback Continue Reading
