Angela’s Monday Mornings
Any Old Diamonds by KJ CharlesLilywhite Boys #1M/M Historical RomanceJanuary 30, 2019 Self Published Favorite Quote: "Talk about making a profit on a job. I stole you, and I'm keeping you." I'm always excited when I open a new KJ Charles romance. I'm especially excited when the author herself describes one of the heroes as "more sociopathic than usual" and says the book is based on a real crime. Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes is the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar. He's currently Continue Reading

Sinner by Sierra Simone - I read this earlier this month and it is really good. May not be for readers who aren't in to the intersection of religion and sex. Kindle I’m not a good man, and I’ve never pretended to be. I don’t believe in goodness or God or any happy ending that isn’t paid for in advance.What do I believe in? Money. Sex. Macallan 18.

Angela’s Monday Mornings (Afternoon Edition)
99 Percent Mine by Sally ThorneContemporary RomanceJanuary 29, 2019 by William Morrow Favorite Quote: I say up to the ceiling, "Tell me I smell right." He senses the uncertainty underlying my sharp order. "You smell like the only person." Sally Thorne's sophomore release has garnered mixed reviews. I've seen quite a few people who loved it and some who had a hard time getting into the flow of the story. And I can see why. The first two chapters are disjointed and kind of odd. I Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday!
Sundays are for brunch...and a little booty if you've joined me today for our weekly saucy snippet! Leslie North writes super fun sexy novellas that she releases rapid fire to my utter pleasure. These short escapes are fun in the most frisky way so when I saw the new North endorsed novel by Katie Knight, I nabbed it right away. I was a little concerned by the title, I assumed it would be about some jacked Seal and some barely grown young woman he was "responsible" for, and I almost never- Continue Reading

A Note From Mandi
*waves* It's been a hot minute since I've posted! I'm still alive! I'm still reading! I'm just not blogging at the moment. A few factors have played a part. In two months, Smexy turns ten years old. Holy crap! When I started this blog, my youngest son was three and I always thought, the older my kids get, the more time I will have to do stuff! While I'm done bathing them and putting them to bed, teenagers present a host of new problems LOL. Y'all - I'm tired! And honestly, burnt out from Continue Reading
