Review: The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout

April 14, 2022 by Jen 6 Comments

The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. ArmentroutFantasy RomanceBlue Box PressMarch 15, 2022 Review by Jen Whew…The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a LONG book. I think it was 25 hours!! I’ve listened to every book in this series- with two more to go- and the author changed this one up a bit with dual narration. It stunned me at first when Casteel spoke and low and behold it was a real guy! After the initial shock, I did really enjoy his voice.  There’s been some Continue Reading

Smexy’s October TBR

October 4, 2021 by Angela 4 Comments

Angela- It's October! Yay! I'm so ready for fall weather and end-of-the-year releases. Also, I'm gearing up for all the best of and favorite lists. I have a few books I'm excited for this month (a couple I've already read, but want to make sure they are on your radar). The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller 10/12 Historical Romance- I've been looking forward to a new Diana Biller since the moment I finished The Widow of Rose House. I hear this one is quite emotional and I'm here for Continue Reading

Jen’s Mini Audible Reviews: Reviews for Books by Amy Harmon, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Kerri Maniscalco, Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy and Kylie Scott

May 13, 2021 by Jen 3 Comments

I love listening to books when I go on walks and when I’m working around my house. All of the below books were excellent. I’m pretty particular about voices. There's one popular male narrator out there who just gives me creepy uncle vibes. I really enjoyed these stories AND the narrators were terrific. No creepy uncle. :) The Songbook of Benny Lament by Amy Harmon Epic!!! This was brilliant!! The narrator, Rob Shapiro was spot on. The story takes place in NYC in the 1960s and Shapiro’s Continue Reading

Jen’s Most Anticipated of 2021

January 5, 2021 by Jen 3 Comments

Good-bye 2020 and so glad you're here, 2021. Please let this year be better. I can say without any doubt, there are a ton of great books I'm looking forward to reading.  The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout First up, I JUST finished Blood and Ash and immediately one clicked A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire. If you haven’t read these yet, do it now. This urban fantasy series is everything. And, you need to start at the beginning and be ready for The Crown of Gilded Bones Continue Reading

Ash and Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout One of my favorite genres is urban fantasy. I tend to binge through a genre then take a break. I binged urban fantasy for a long time and didn’t pick up one single UF in 2020, until now. I’m so glad I decided to try Ash and Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I listened to this on audible. Here's a great tip- if you have the ebook (which I did, and just hadn’t read yet) you can go on Amazon and use their match tool to find out which ebooks have matching Continue Reading

Jen’s Favorites of 2020

December 31, 2020 by Jen 6 Comments

I read QUITE a bit this year. Living in California, we’ve been on non-stop lockdown and I turned to books to help me escape. I have so many favorites! Here are my top picks.  The Ravenhood Duet by Kate Stewart My heart…these two books, Flock and Exodus, nearly killed me. I thought about these books long after I finished them. I still think about them. I will reread them in 2021. I’m not even sure where to start with this duet. This was romantic, very dark, weird town and people Continue Reading

Six feet plus of pure unadulterated smexyness who suddenly becomes Avery’s shadow. He makes her feel like a goddess but Avery has secrets. Secrets Continue Reading

Guest Author Jennifer Armentrout and Giveaway

December 8, 2011 by Mandi 32 Comments

We are happy to have Jennifer Armentrout at Smexy today to celebrate her release of her new book, Obsidian. Take it away, Jennifer!   If you’ve read Half-Blood or Obsidian, it’s pretty obvious I’m big on the romance. I don’t think I could write a book that didn’t have a decent amount of love fest going on. Romance is always integral to whatever book I’m writing, and I think one of the reason why I love writing it so much is because I LOVE reading it. Especially in young adult books. That Continue Reading

Not thrilled to be starting over at a new high school, Katy makes friends with the girl next door, Dee. Dee is wonderful and Katy believes this year might not be so bad; if not for Dee’s twin brother Daemon. Continue Reading
