DNF Round-Up
Once in a while we gather up our recent "Did Not Finish" (DNF) and share what didn't work for us: Tori And Jericho Burned by M.J. Compton: I was excited to get this book. I liked the premise of undercover rock band FBI agents/werewolves investigating a cult. I’m also a sucker for human/supernatural soul mate pairings. My problem was the romance. So many assumptions and misunderstandings that carry on far into the book. The hero sees his human soul mate and instantly falls for her but gets Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday
I recently reviewed The Bedding Proposal by Tracy Anne Warren and while I added some of my favorite scenes, I naturally couldn't add them all. Our hero, Lord Leo Byron, wants our heroine, Lady Thalia Lennox, with an unholy passion. Though she has repeatedly told him no, he refuses to give up. Leo overstepped his boundaries (yet again) by getting Thalia an invite to an exclusive weekend house party. Though Thalia was pleased to have been invited, once she learns it was actually Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – February 27th
10. This past week I dog-sat a Morkie - a Maltese/Yorkie mix. And I FELL I LOVE. I think I need one, right?? But the thing is - she was sooooo sweet. I basically want her - what if I get one that is super barky or annoying? But she was four pounds of happiness. I need four pounds of happiness in my life. I currently have a very overweight pug that is about 35 pounds of smelly happiness. But I need a tiny dog I can dress up and color her hair pink! Does anyone have a Continue Reading

She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: Continue Reading
