Smexy’s Top Ten–November 9th

November 9, 2012 by Mandi 32 Comments

10. Are you seeing the final Twilight movie? We’ve made each movie into a girl’s night out with a stop at a wine bar before and after to help us make it through the movie *wink* But I don’t know if I can gather the energy for this final one…   9. Linkin Fever, a fan facebook page for Karen Marie Moning books (and the band Linkin Park…hence their name), posted this picture as their vision of Lor (from Iced). WHY HELLO LOR! Come nod at me at Chester’s. Yes. Please. 8. Goodreads have Continue Reading

Guest Review: Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright by Justine Saracen

April 19, 2012 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright by Justine Saracen Historical/Gay & Lesbian March 13, 2012 Bold Strokes Books Guest Reviewed by Jill Sorenson. I requested this book from NetGalley because the description included the words “lesbian” and “romance.” What I found in the pages was so much more than I expected, but I came away feeling unsatisfied. Katja Sommers, the heroine, is a young lady who works on a film crew in Nazi Germany. The crew is collecting war propaganda footage for Continue Reading

Giveaway: Caught In The Act by Jill Sorenson

March 20, 2012 by Mandi 70 Comments

As the owner of a flourishing Latin American crafts boutique, Karina Strauss should be basking in her success. Instead she’s worried about her troubled sister, the girlfriend—and prisoner—of drug lord Carlos Moreno. Kari wants no part of that life, but when she helps a friend cross into the United States illegally, two men on opposite sides of the law take notice: Moreno and Adam Cortez, the handsome border protection officer who lets Kari off the hook. It’s not just Kari’s tantalizing flash of Continue Reading

The Unconvincing Declaration of Love

November 29, 2011 by Mandi 44 Comments

I’m getting increasingly frustrated by an unconvincing “I love you” in the novellas I am reading. I’m not saying I’ve never read an “I love you” in a full length book I didn’t believe in, but I’m tired of a rushed or forced declarations of love in the shorter stories. It is very jarring to me to be reading about a budding relationship and then a short time later it feels like the author just slapped on the declaration of love in the last page…why? Is it because that is what the majority of Continue Reading

10. My Week – My boys have been in Science Camp all week. One of the days was, Explosion Day. Now I have to buy Diet Coke and Blue Mentos (must be that exact combination) so we can set off an explosion of diet coke in the backyard. I’m excited to see how high we can get it to go :)   9. I found this goodie at Paranormal Haven blog this past week. The cover for Fair Game, book three in Patricia Brigg’s Alpha & Omega series. Finally! Okay, we still have to wait until early Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–July 8th

July 8, 2011 by Mandi 31 Comments

10. My week – I’m home from the beach. We had a fab time. Waves were jumped, sand crabs were collected, adult beverages were consumed. Every day hubs would make a new sand sculpture. King Kong is above. Look at the moobs on that sucker. Yes, I fondled them.   9. I just finished The Edge of Night by Jill Sorenson. This is the first I’ve read by her and really enjoyed it. It is a romantic suspense revolving around four people in a town near San Diego. This town is heavy into gang Continue Reading
