Last year I read and LOVED Beyond Shame by Kit Rocha. Today the author duo is here to give us a peek at the blurb and an excerpt from the next book in their series, Beyond Control (which is Dallas and Lex’s book! I just might die from anticipation.) I’ll turn it over to the authors now… Hello, book lovers! I'm so excited to be here today, and not just because I'm always excited to be hanging with the fine folks of Smexy Books. Today I'm super excited, because we're finally able to reveal the Continue Reading
A Visit and Giveaway From Moira Rogers
THE BACKSTORY From the time we announced the final Red Rock ebook in 2009, people have been asking us when we'd go back to the Sanctuary world and write more about werewolves and their witch rivals. In the beginning we didn't want to return--we had our four books and our two prequel novellas, and those were the stories we had to tell. But people kept asking, and we kept saying, "Well, what if...okay, no, but maybe if..." A watched pot never boils, and I'm starting to think a watched Continue Reading
Guest Author Joanna Chambers and Giveaway
Earlier today, May reviewed Unforgivable by Joanna Chambers. Joanna has stopped by to talk about forgiveness…. To err is human, to forgive, divine You may not be surprised to learn that my novel, Unforgivable, is about, amongst other things, forgiveness, so Alexander Pope’s famous quote, To err is human, to forgive divine, couldn’t be more apt. The quote comes from Pope’s Essay on Criticism (which despite its title is, in fact, a poem). But while Pope was talking about the qualities a critic Continue Reading
Author Lauren Jameson on–Writing the Alpha Hero
On December 31, Lauren Jameson released the first of her six-part erotic serial, Surrender to Temptation. Today she is hear to talk about the alpha hero. “There is a fine line between alpha and asshole.” This is something that my dear critique partner Suzanne Rock told me years ago. It is something that I try to keep at the front of my mind every time I start out on a story such as Surrender to Temptation. Writing an alpha hero can be a fine line to walk—but when it goes well, it can make for Continue Reading

Guest Author Anne Calhoun and Giveaway
Earlier today I reviewed Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun, a very well done erotic novella. We are happy to have her and her sexy hero, Ronan at Smexy to chat. Hot Men at Work (aka Ronan O’Rourke, Lieutenant, FDNY at your service) I interviewed Ronan for this blog. Crafting his responses into something readable was beyond me, so I’m transcribing the interview as it happened at the Starbucks at 87thand Lex on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Ronan: I’ve got ten minutes before I have to be back Continue Reading

Guest Author Katie Porter and Giveaway
Where’s the Kink? By Katie Porter Nate and Kyle from Came Upon a Midnight Clear are successful, angsty, built, alpha, gorgeous, and gay. They are not, however, kinky. Although every love scene is absolutely smokin’ hot, they are vanilla partners. No whips, chains, bondage, roleplaying… …Basically, they’re not into any of the kink or BDSM themes we explored (and will continue to explore) in our “Vegas Top Guns” series. What we didn’t realize when beginning to write Midnight Clear was Continue Reading

She took this in and gave it some thought, and shook her head. “I know it’s daddy. But that’s okay. I love daddy more than Santa.” I gave her a Continue Reading
