Jen’s Mini Reviews:  Books by Lydia Michaels and Meagan Brandy

June 9, 2022 by Jen Leave a Comment

Love Me Nots is the third book in the Jasper Falls series. It can be read as a standalone and I haven’t read or listened to the other two books. No issues catching up with characters or complicated backstories. Go for it! I must be on a small-town romance binge because this is the third one in a row for me- and they’ve all been excellent!   Perrin is a small town bar owner. She and her sister own the business and Perrin has big plans to expand. She’s also had her fill of heartbreak Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- All Fired Up by Dylan Newton and A Deal with the Devil by Elizabeth O’Roark

May 20, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

All Fired Up by Dylan NewtonContemporary RomanceMay 17, 2022, by ForeverARC Although it's not indicated on Goodreads or Amazon, this is actually a follow-up to this author's previous release, How Sweet It Is. If you're interested you can check out my review here. All Fired Up features Imani Lewis, best friend to Kate and publicist to Drake Matthews from the first book, and Zander Matthews, Drake's younger brother. The two hooked up at Kate and Drake's wedding and then haven't really Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: A Deal with the Devil by Elizabeth O’Roark

May 8, 2022 by Iby 2 Comments

This scene was one of the most hilarious from my favorite read in April. The banter with this book was - chef’s kiss - incredible. The author spun a masterpiece out of a highly unbelievable set-up: a lowly assistant/writer who is paid to temp for a hot plastic surgeon, and they fall in love. This book is funny, with a great pining hero and some insane sexual tension. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves contemporary romances with some steam. (Fun fact: the entire Smexy team cannot get Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: The Favor by Suzanne Wright

May 1, 2022 by Iby 3 Comments

There is something about a growly alpha hero who convinces a likable heroine to enter into a marriage of convenience that just does it for me. Suzanne Wright’s The Favor does this trope extremely well. Vienna is a spunky, smart survivor who works as a highly competent executive assistant for her boss, Dane. Dane needs a wife to claim an inheritance and convinces Vienna to be his wife. In this scene, someone is trying to sour the relationship between Dane and Vienna by sending some misleading Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Beneath the Stairs Jennifer Fawcett and The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant

April 7, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer FawcettGothic Mystery/Suspense2/22/22 by AtriaARC I picked up Beneath the Stairs for two reasons: this is a new to me author and I'm always on the lookout for new authors in genres I enjoy and the summary sounded interesting. This book had everything to keep me engaged... a ramshackle house out in the woods, rumored ghosts of a murdered family, two women haunted by their visit inside the house as young girls, and chapters that skip from past to present-day Continue Reading

Review: The Taellaneth Series and The Hundred Series by Vanessa Nelson

April 1, 2022 by Iby 3 Comments

The Taellaneth Series and The Hundred Series by Vanessa NelsonFantasy RomanceSelf-Published (finished in 2020 and 2021 respectively)Kindle Unlimited I'm going to review things a little differently today - as I just glommed two completed series by a new-to-me fantasy author. If you are interested in picking up a completed fantasy series (free on Kindle Unlimited!) that brings major Tamora Pierce vibes, then I have two great choices for you. The Taellaneth Series The Taellaneth series Continue Reading

Review: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O’Roark

March 31, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O'RoarkContemporary RomanceJanuary 20, 2022- Self PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I have another fabulous KU book for you today! Yay! And it's one I normally wouldn't have looked twice at since I don't like the 'I dated one brother, but now I find myself falling for the other one' trope. But I'm so glad I took a chance and read this one because it's FABULOUS. Let me introduce you to one of the main characters, Drew Wilson- pop Continue Reading

Smexy’s Best of Kindle Unlimited

The Best of Kindle Unlimited

Hey, It’s Jen! I’m a major reader of KU books and love recommendations to fill my 20 book quota a month. Truth be told…I always have 20 in my queue, and when I see a shiny new book I move them around. It’s a shell game I play weekly. We all thought it’d be fun to list our favorite KU books; check out some old and some new KU must clicks below. Happy Reading! The Underdogs series by Kate Stewart- I loved every one of these books! Each one is hot, sweet, funny and full of heart. The series Continue Reading

Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Debra Anastasia, A. Jade, and Ella Maise

February 25, 2022 by Jen 4 Comments

I’m going to review these in order with the best being last. Here we go! First up is Mercy by Debra Anastasia. New author to me that I listened to over the course of several days. Zachery Webber and Muffy Newtown are the narrators. I would listen to Webber read the dictionary. That’s how much I love his voice. Newtown didn’t do it for me, she’s sort of too breathless and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character.  Main characters Phoenix (nickname - Nix) and Becca first meet Continue Reading

Review: Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian’s Vow by Keira Andrews

November 10, 2021 by Angela 2 Comments

Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian's Vow by Keira AndrewsLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceSelf PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I first saw the covers for this series on Amazon while putting together the new release post for the week. And I would be lying if I said it wasn't the word barbarian in the title that first caught my attention. Everyone should know by now that I'm a sucker for a sexy barbarian romance. When I discovered this would be a duology and feature the same main Continue Reading
