Guest Post: DOM vs DOMME: Why the Double Standard? By Joey W. Hill

July 30, 2020 by Kini 6 Comments

Today we have a post from author Joey W. Hill on Dom vs Domme. Hill's most recent release, At Her Command, is an F/m story and is available now. Ever since I’ve been writing BDSM romance, I’ve noticed I can have two Dominants, in two different stories, who are pretty much equally uncompromising with their respective submissives. They will be expecting their sub to live up to his/her potential, care for themselves. They will also demand a great deal from them in terms of service, acceptance Continue Reading

The Chicks Gaslighter Album but make it Romance

July 24, 2020 by Melinda 3 Comments

Melinda and I have been DMing not stop about the new Chicks album since it debuted. We both love it. When Melinda pitched this list to me for a post on Smexy, I couldn't say yes fast enough. In the comments, tell us your favorite song from this album and what romance novel you would match it up with. Huge thank you to Melinda (@MelindaEdits) for this post. The Chicks released their 8th studio album on July 17th and I’ve probably listened to it at least 300 times since then. I can’t Continue Reading

Guest Post: Smexy Welcomes Emma Salah

July 20, 2020 by Angela 2 Comments

It’s been my dream to be published since I was a small child. But as a young, black woman growing up in London (vibrant, but expensive London), the concept of being an author was appealing, but being an author was never truly feasible. I was raised on the immigrant idea that I must become either a doctor, an engineer (if you’re a boy, of course) or a teacher. But I couldn’t stop dreaming about characters and worlds that were so vivid I had to write them down. And I didn’t just want to write, I Continue Reading

Guest Post: Office Romances by Jayce Ellis

July 13, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Jayce stopped by to talk about Office Romance. Jayce's new novel, Andre is out today! Office romances are an, in my opinion, uniquely sexy thing. They’re rife with built-in conflict, but the source of that conflict is what makes them tricky to get right. They’re like fated mates: how do you know the characters love each other for themselves and not because Fate has predetermined they’re perfect together (I’ve read an absolute ton of paranormal and Omegaverse in the past three months and I Continue Reading

Guest Post: The Big Convo by Cara Bastone

July 9, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Cara Bastone stopped by to talk about romance and her novel, Just a Heartbeat Away, released on June 30. I have read it and loved it and it will be one of my favorite books this year. There are the good romance novels: the page turners that make you grin at your Kindle and send incoming phone calls to voicemail because there is no way in heck that you’re going to get interrupted in this part of the book.  And then… there are the great romance novels: The ones that you find yourself Continue Reading

Guest Post: Independent heroines in historical romance by Renee Dahlia

June 22, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Independence equals having money of your own that you can spend without having to ask permission from someone else. It sounds like a simple concept, but when you consider that up to the 1970s in many countries women couldn’t open a bank account or hold a credit card in their own name without a male signature on the application form. All women, any man – a husband, a brother, a father, it didn’t matter as long as it was a bloke giving permission. To write an independent heroine in historical Continue Reading

Guest Post: Andy Gallo and Anyta Sunday rec their favorite romances

June 11, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

Andy Gallo and Anyta Sunday are back with the re-release of their Contemporary New Adult Romance, Better Be Sure, and to celebrate, Andy and Anita put together a list of their favorite romance recommendations. Never: By Tara Lain - I have a great affection for Tara's books, but this is one of my favorites hands down. Peter Pan meets Wendel Darling. It was low on angst, hi on good feels. To steal a page, the characters flew off the page they felt so real. --Gallo Running With Lions: Continue Reading

Guest Post: Dragons, vampires and witches, oh my! by A.C Athur

June 8, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

One of my all-time favorite movies is The Wizard of Oz. There’s just something about that whimsical world, more like alternate reality, that always spoke to me. Maybe it was because regardless of what the character’s outward appearance was—a scarecrow, tinman, lion or fake wizard—inside they were the same as when they looked just like Dorothy. Let’s not forget the songs were catchy and addictive and that Oz was beautiful to look at. Of course, our reality looks nothing like that, but isn’t it Continue Reading

Guest Post: Small Town Romance Recommendations by Chelsea M. Cameron

May 21, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

Chelsea's new book, The Girl Next Door, will be released on May 26. She stopped by to give us some recs for some other small town romances. Thanks Chelsea! I’m from a small town. When I say that, I don’t think a lot of people have a concept of HOW small I mean. I’m talking less than 3,000 people. I went to the same school for kindergarten through eighth grade. Many of the teachers I had are still teaching there, some of them with friends of mine who are now teachers themselves. Our town Continue Reading

Guest Post: How I Incorporated Supernatural into my Magic in Manhattan series by Allie Therin

May 18, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

Allie Therin's new book, Starcrossed, it out today. She stopped by to talk about the book. Thanks Allie! When Smexy Books invited me to blog on incorporating the supernatural into my Magic in Manhattan series, the first thing I thought of was my recent privilege of speaking to author Dana Staves’s class about my (still very new!) experiences with publishing. They asked great questions, including whether I thought world-building/fantasy elements have their own development arc the way the Continue Reading
