Welcome back to Smexybooks as we Countdown to 40 with a re read of Innocent in Death, #24 with my thoughts on pivotal scenes in the book. On Tuesday we discussed Part One-the moment from when Eve first meets Magdalena Percell and realizes that this old flame of Roarke’s meant more than he is letting on. Today we are discussing Part Two-Summerset and his ever changing role in Eve’s life. Part Two: Summerset and Eve “She’s a dangerous woman, Lieutenant.” “In what way?” “She Continue Reading

Our Thoughts on Burned by Karen Marie Moning
Burned is book seven in the Fever series, an overall excellent urban fantasy series. I think every Smexy girl reads it, although May, Sheena and Mandi slammed through it on day one and are here to share our thoughts. I think we all loved Iced, the previous book in this series (I did a top ten reasons to read post). We were all unsure of how we would like 14 year old Dani as our narrator, and she surprised the hell out of us in a good way. So then we waited for Burned and her story to Continue Reading

(Let me ride you your horse Jamie!) I'm a huge fan of not only the series by Diana Gabaldon but the Outlander television show on Starz. While it's a long wait until it returns in April, Starz is sharing some pictures and video to help make the wait easier. What are they reading?? Claire being a bad ass. Did they use that phrase back then? *STARES* And we have a new trailer to watch.... Continue Reading
