Review: Chick Magnet by Emma Barry
Chick Magnet by Emma BarryContemporary RomanceJanuary 24, 2023, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela So, this was different from any book I've read recently. I picked it up because of this line in the blurb: From Emma Barry comes a clever romance about a hot veterinarian and a chicken-loving influencer who can’t help but ruffle each other’s feathers. Did I know what a chicken influencer was before I started to read? No. Do I know now? Why, yes. I also know more about chickens Continue Reading

The One Who Loves You by Pippa GrantTickled Pink #1Contemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyJuly 12, 2022, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela Y'all I NEEDED a romantic comedy in my life when I snatched this book up for review. Anyone who's read a Pippa Grant book knows she has a zany, sometimes outrageous brand of humor and some really unique characters. This book is no different. I know with all the cutesy covers floating around Romancelandia nowadays anything labeled as a romantic comedy is Continue Reading
Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
Reminders of Him by Colleen HooverNew Adult RomanceJanuary 18, 2022 Review by Jen I am once again asking you to read Colleen Hoover. Reminders of Him was soooo good! I used my KU membership and clicked it as one of my 20 books each month. Then, bought the audible, for I think $1.99. Well worth it! This was a heartbreaker!!! It’s hard not to read a book like this and imagine the situation happening in your own life. Kenna is the FMC, she was found responsible for the death of Continue Reading
Review: Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley
Gouda Friends by Cathy YardleyContemporary Romance March 22, 2022, by Montlake ARC Review by Melanie This was one of the CUTEST contemporary romances I’ve read in a long time. Cathy Yardley is a new to me author but I will most definitely be checking out her backlist because based on this novel, her voice just really worked for me. This is the second book I’m reviewing for Smexy that has identical themes in that the book focuses quite a bit on FMCs personal journey as a Continue Reading
Review: Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall
Something Fabulous by Alexis HallPublished on January 25, 2022 by MontlakeHistorical Romance Review by Kate Something Fabulous is a sheer delight of a romance novel. It’s a dramatic, gay, fluffy, joyous book that I enjoyed so much I have already re-read the first quarter before even starting this review. At the beginning of Something Fabulous, Valentine proposes to Belle, who adamantly does not want to marry him. She runs off in the middle of the night (as one does in a Regency Continue Reading
Review: Fated Blades (Kinsmen #3) by Ilona Andrews
Fated Blades by Ilona AndrewsKinsmen #3Fantasy RomanceNovember 23, 2021, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review I just have to say bravo to the cover artist for this beautiful cover and how well matched it is to a certain pivotal scene. Fated Blades is part of the Kinsmen universe, one of this author duo's lesser-known series. Which is a shame because it, like all of their work, is beyond awesome. Who doesn't love warring space families with special powers Continue Reading
Jen’s Audible Minis: Sinner by Sierra Simone, Regretting You by Colleen Hoover, November 9 by Colleen Hoover
I’m calling this sex + two awesome Coho books. First with the sex… Sinner by Sierra Simone is the second book in the Priest series. The first book features Father Bell and this one is about his brother, Sean. I listened to both books. Narrator, Zachary Webber is THE best!! This was one of the hottest, spiciest books I’ve ever heard. Like blushing, someone hand me a giant glass of water hot. Wow, wow, wow!!! But, lest you think it’s all about the sex, the story was equally Continue Reading

Love, Comment, Subscribe by Cathy YardleyContemporary RomanceOctober 1, 2021, by MontlakeARC Reviewer: Melinda Lily Wang and Tobin Hui went to High School together 10 years ago, but they weren’t exactly friends...or enemies either one. Frenemy is definitely the better term to describe what they were to each other. We open the book with a brief scene in high school and Lily ditching her Nerd Herd friends to try to sit with the popular group in the cafeteria but icily getting brushed off Continue Reading
