Charish's new book, Hearts on Hold, releases next week, 2/3 and she stopped by to talk a little bit about the inspiration behind it. FYI- I finished this book last week and will have a mini review tomorrow, it was good, so you should go ahead and preorder it :) I saw the 1999 The Mummy when I was thirteen-years-old and sang it’s cinematic praises for about four months straight. I’m certain my friends grew exhausted by my excessive fan-girling… But what I loved most was the blossoming Continue Reading

We are happy to have author Jess Michaels at Smexy today. Jess is celebrating the release of Beauty and the Earl.... Broken Jess Michaels Hi everyone and a big thanks to Mandi for allowing me to hang out today here at Smexy Books. I’m a very large fan of the smexy stuff and always have been, so I feel like I’m amongst my people here. The cool thing is that as an author, I get to write as much of the sexy as I want to… and I want to write quite a lot of it. The other thing I love to Continue Reading
Guest Author Rose Lerner and Giveaway
Rose Lerner's Sweet Disorder released this week, and she is here today to talk a little bit about it. I adored this book and will be reviewing it later this morning. William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience contrast two opposite views of the world: that it's a safe place full of joy, and that it's a scary place full of sorrow and anger. One poem I've always loved is "The Clod and the Pebble," which poses a question central to the romance genre and to Sweet Disorder—What does it Continue Reading
Guest Author Megan Hart and Giveaway
Megan Hart is visiting Smexy to talk about her new serial. Part three releases today.... Piece by Piece or All At Once? Megan Hart Serial stories have been around for a long time. Charles Dickens published many of his works in serial format. Early radio shows took up the style, as well as soap operas. More recently, the growing popularity of digital publishing has seen the serial make a comeback – to the delight of some, dismay of others. Serial stories can work wonderfully for readers of Continue Reading
Guest Author Carolyn Crane
Earlier today I reviewed Carolyn Crane’s latest, Off the Edge (I loved it). Today, Carolyn is stopping by Smexy with a very amusing story…. My day as the neighborhood psycho! Do you read the torn scraps of paper that you find laying on the sidewalk or street? I always do, especially if I see handwriting on them. I’m nosy that way. Maybe that’s bad, I don’t know! So anyway, a few weeks back – this was before it got all snowy here – Mr. Crane comes in the door looking alarmed, clutching a Continue Reading

Hey everybody! I’m Dana Lorraine, sexy words writer and dreamer of hunky men. I’m kind of new around here so many thanks to Mandi for letting me stop by Smexy to introduce myself and to tell you about my Ellora’s Cave paranormal erotic m/f/m ménage release, Dying to Love Her.

Guest Review: Ruined by Tracy Wolff
Ruined by Tracy Wolf (Ethan Frost #1) Released: January 7, 2014 Erotic Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Lea – you can find Lea blogging at Happy Ever After. Favorite Quote: “Having finally finished her last toe, Tori gets up to follow me. But since she’s worried about smudging the polish, she kind of waddles on her heels, toes in the air. With her hair dyed race-car yellow and cut short and spiky, she looks a little like a top-heavy duck.” College student Chloe Girard lands Continue Reading

Feature: An Indecent Proposition by Stephanie Julian
Stephanie Julian is stopping by Smexy today to talk about her recent book, An Indecent Proposition. A little over a year ago, I started a little story called AN INDECENT PROPOSITION. I’d gotten a call from Judi Fennell who asked if I wanted to be in an anthology with Cherrie Lynn, Olivia Cunning and Cari Quinn. I’m no fool. I said yes. Since I love writing ménage, that’s the framework I chose. And I wrote AN INDECENT PROPOSITION. The PART I came later, after I realized 18,000 words weren’t Continue Reading
Guest Author Leah Braemel *Giveaway*
Thanks to SmexyBooks for hosting me and letting me talk about my newest book, Slow Ride Home. When you were a teen, did you ever do something that now you look back on and wonder “what the heck was I thinking?” Or is there a decision you made that you’d love to go back and tell your teen self that maybe it’s not such a good idea? (Would you have listened or forged ahead in spite of the advice?) I am a plotter to a certain extent, but when I originally started writing Slow Ride Home, I hadn’t Continue Reading
