At Last by Jill Shalvis (Lucky Harbor #5) Contemporary Romance June 26, 2012 Hachette Reviewed by Mandi At Last is book five in the Lucky Harbor series, but it is really book two of three in this second set of trilogies. While I liked the previous book, I think At Last really brings back that great chemistry and sexual tension that I loved in the original three books of this series. Amy Michaels has lived in Lucky Harbor for about six months. She works as a waitress in the Eat Me Continue Reading
Review: Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis
Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis (Lucky Harbor #4) May 22, 2012 Contemporary Romance Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoy the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis. The first three books centered around three sisters, each finding love. Now Jill Shalvis turns the attention of the series to three girlfriends, and their quest to help each other in the romance department. We meet Mallory (town good girl), Amy (town bad girl) and Grace (the new one in town), who end up meeting Continue Reading

Speaking of Barrons, Karen Marie Moning has said she will begin posting teasers for ICED, the first book in her new series featuring Dani, on her Facebook page starting January 17th.

Smexy’s Top Ten–December 2nd
10. My Week - I have been under the weather this week with a cold, sore throat, fever thing. Hubs has moved to the couch and has relocated his toothbrush to the guest bathroom. (Gee, germaphobe, much?) But that’s okay because I’ve had company from my friend Nyquil. He is a lovely fellow. A little bitter to start. His personality is tough to swallow..but after you get to know him, he is so soothing. He let’s me sleep all night, although he leaves me feeling a little funky in the morning. I’m Continue Reading

Review: Small Town Christmas Anthology
Small Town Christmas by Jill Shalvis, Hope Ramsey, and Katie Lane Romantic Contemporary Ebook November 1, 2011 Grand Central Publishing Reviewed by Tori Romantic Christmas stories have to be my secret all time pleasure. Christmas is my favorite holiday with the songs, decorating, and general good natured cheer that seems to to even affect the grumpiest of scrooges. I love reading about those who have given up only to find that wishes do come true for those most deserving. Here we Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–October 28th
10. My Week – I’m volunteering in the Kindergarten class today. There are 21 kids in the class, which means there will be 20 kids that are not mine staring at me for three hours.

I couldn’t find a ton of details on it, but it sounds like a done deal. Cool! Also out this week, The Hollows Insider, which has tons of stuff about the series. Continue Reading
