10. Today’s Top Ten is brought to you by David ‘Gander.’ (I make myself snort, it’s true) 9. If you haven’t seen it yet, Kresley Cole released her cover for Shadow’s Claim. This will be the first book in her Dacian series (a spin off of her current Immortals After Dark series.) We meet the Dacians briefly in Lothaire. Damn, I like this cover.

Smexy’s Top Ten–January 20th
10. My Week – I don’t have much to report this week. My septic is done. I know you all have been waiting on pins and needles for that news. My kids can flush the toilet without being totally freaked out. I swear I won’t talk about my toilets anymore. Someone did have a good suggestion last week that Mike Rowe should have been the one to come out to do our “dirty job.” *grins* 9. Did you all see the teaser Karen Marie Moning put on her Facebook page for Iced (her new series coming out this fall Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten– Favorite Sex Scenes of 2011
Since this is “SMEXY Books” I feel a favorite sex scene post is important. And fun! After looking over my list, I realize while these have well written sex scenes, I would also recommend each book as a whole. You know for those other things like plot and character development. But back to the sex… Please note that obviously this is more explicit than the normal posts here at Smexy. I’ve listed them by the date they were published this year. By the Book by Scarlett Parrish Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–August 26th
10. My Week – We had an earthquake here on the east coast! Damage – some lawn chairs fell over. No, but seriously it was kind of freaky. I’ve never been in an earthquake before. My whole house just….shook. Apparently that’s what houses do during an earthquake ;). I didn’t like it. I have new respect for those that live in California or other places where quakes are prevalent. 9. BIG NEWS - Take a deep breath and gather round...Karen Marie Moning announced today on her Facebook Page Continue Reading
Did Someone Say Barrons Sex Scene?
Yes – yes I did. Karen Marie Moning has just released a sex scene in Barrons’ point of view. The scene takes place during Darkfever – she explains it in her post. For those thoroughly confused, I’m referring to the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning (in which we only get the heroine’s POV). Barrons! *sobbing* It’s been awhile you sexy beast. A teaser - “You will most definitely scream. I promise you that.” (Oh Barrons *Smexy falls down dead* Go enjoy :) Continue Reading

Cliffhangers: The End?!?
Now that we have started rereading the Fever series, cliffhanger talk has commenced. Karen Marie Moning ends book three and four, Faefever and Dreamfever with massive cliffhangers. The kind that make you break out in a sweat, while you sob uncontrollably and scour every message board you can find in hopes that someone has insight into what will happen next. Mandi: I love these kind of cliffhangers. Yes it is torture, especially when you become so wrapped up in the book and characters and the Continue Reading
