Harlequin Contemporary Romance Box Set Volume One

Looking Ahead to February (With bonus smexy pics!)
Top Ten will return next week. But, because it’s Friday and we all need some smexy action here is the Olympic Canadian Bob Sled Team. OH CANADA (HI beards and thighs!) And if you need slightly nsfw action, here is a sexy Red Sox player who likes to take nakey selfies of himself. (There is a tea bag(ging) joke just waiting to burst forth…) Anyway – oh right book news. Last month I did a ‘Looking Ahead to January’ post so let’s continue on for February. May has read Continue Reading
Must I take the High Road? A rant in the making.
By Tori. I am positive I would not make a good romance heroine. At least, not a nice one. Because one, I’m not very nice. I’m polite and well mannered, but I don’t filter my thoughts and there aren't many whose opinions mean much to me. I'm loyal, selfish, a tad insane, perpetually grumpy, and anyone who messes with those I love will see a whole other side of me. The side that gives you until the count of five to straighten up or run. I don’t believe long suffering and virtuous automatically Continue Reading
Our 2014 Reading Resolutions
It’s a brand, spanking new year and the ladies of Smexy Books have decided it’s time to get serious (well, as serious as we like to get around here) and set some goals for 2014. May’s Resolutions: 1. I will read no book that promises “fans of ____ will love this!” 2. I will measure facial hair on all potential new fictional heroes. I need more beards. 3. Any hero living in a cabin in the woods, as a recluse, or otherwise being survival/wilderness man off somewhere immediately gets #1 Continue Reading
Looking Ahead to January
Don’t worry – Smex Scene Sunday isn’t going away. I just don’t have a good scene to post today – I blame the holidays for screwing up my reading schedule! But as I was glancing through my schedule to see what review books I have coming up, I realized January is shaping up to be a damn good month, or at least one can hope. I did get a head-start. I’ve read the crackalicious The Destiny of Violet & Luke by Jessica Sorensen, which has characters even more screwed up than Callie & Continue Reading
Mandi reads a Cracky, Slightly Horrifying MC Book, and Lives to tell the Tale
Have you ever read a book that you secretly guilty-pleasure loved, that you want everyone to read yet at the same time you don’t want everyone to read? This is me with Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan. This book came out last year and I remember general buzz – some loving, some hating – but all saying “whoa, this book has some crazy in it.” Last night my hair dresser went on and on about this book so I came home and thought I’d read the first chapter or so just to get a feel. But it was so cracky, Continue Reading
