Tori and I survived RT! Barely! By Saturday night I was sooooo tired but it was worth it. We roomed with Angela who reviews for Fiction Vixen and she was absolutely lovely. I adored her. We laughed - a lot. Tori and I had lunch with Ilona and Gordon Andrews *quietly flails* We had drinks with Jaci Burton. Tori, Angela and I went through lots of wine one night while Laura Curtis told us funny, funny stories. We sat in on good panels. I went to the Avon dinner and met lovely authors and Continue Reading

Wicked Wednesday: Boning the Bodyguard
By Sheena. "Sleeping with her bodyguard- who happened to be her older brother's best friend- was a recipe for disaster. It was something she might have tried when she was nineteen and still in the middle of her wild and crazy days. Now, she knew better...or she was supposed to." (Quote from Protecting Fate (Serve #6) by Katee Roberts) There is something about the sensuality and sexual tension that exists between a sexy, alpha bodyguard and his charge. He is uber straight laced and Continue Reading

Emma flies out for the wedding, to meet her new stepfather and stepbrother for the first time. Ford works on the ranch for his father Continue Reading
Wicked Wednesday: Step-Sibling Romance
A new feature at Smexy Books! Each hump day we will discuss an erotic topic, or a particular scene from a book and then later in the day we will review an erotic book.

This is our Wednesday plan. If anyone wants a particular erotic book or topic discussed, shoot Mandi an email. (mandi @ smexybooks.com). Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten – April 10th
10. Heh! Shannon Stacey tweet this shirt this week. It made me giggle :) (link) 9. Angela James tweet this week that Hyde and Seek by Layla Frost was a fun book with a Kristen Ashley feel - and she was right! If I was doing an official review I'd probably give it a B- or C+. It's over the top in that the heroine is 20 and the hero is 34, and EVERY guy the heroine meets worships her. The hero works at a custom body shop with several alpha, gorgeous men. (I assume they all get Continue Reading
