Smexy’s Top Ten–November 11th

November 11, 2011 by Mandi 43 Comments

10. Earlier in the week, a deer hunter fell out of a tree at the end of my street (my street dead-ends at a big wooded area. Also, I live in redneckville). Four fire trucks, three ambulances, police and the medevac helicopter all came. I guess he had a phone, and was able to call 9-1-1. It was dramatic, especially watching the helicopter try to land in this small field on my street. I have no idea how hurt the hunter was, I hope he is okay. My little street can’t handle that type of chaos! Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–October 21st

October 21, 2011 by Mandi 54 Comments

10. My week - I survived a field trip to Washington, D.C with the second grade class. Besides the very long bus ride to get there, it was really fun. We went to the American History Museum and my seven year old was in heaven. He could have stayed there all day looking at each exhibit. Best of all, I didn’t lose any children! Hooray for me!   9. Men Under the Mistletoe Anthology with Josh Lanyon, Harper Fox, Ava March and K.A. Mitchell. HO HO HO Hookers! Smexy can not wait to read this Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – September 24th

September 24, 2010 by Mandi 21 Comments

10. My week – Geez, nothing happened this week. We’ve fallen into a boring fall routine, which honestly is just fine with me. Kids go to school, I get caught up in reading and forget to buy milk or do the laundry, hubs sighs and rolls his eyes. Yep – normal stuff around here ;) And for those keeping score at home – the hot tub is still sitting in our driveway. 9. The cover for Night Magic by Jennifer Lyon has been released. This is the third book in her Wing Slayers series. A very fun Continue Reading

Review: Fair Game by Josh Lanyon

Four Dudes, Two DNF’s

March 16, 2010 by Mandi 23 Comments

I have DNF’s or "Did Not Finish" books sometimes, and last week it happened to be two M/M romances. First up, The Dark Farewell by Josh Lanyon. I made it about halfway through the books and by no means is it written poorly. I think it is a combination of the subject matter and the love interest of the hero that turned me off. It is the story of David Flynn, a reporter who visits a small mining town where a massacre occurred the previous year. There is much background into the tragedy that took Continue Reading
