Review: All the Feels by Olivia Dade

November 17, 2021 by Melinda 1 Comment

All the Feels by Olivia DadeSpoiler Alert #2Contemporary RomanceNovember 16, 2021, by AvonARC Reviewer: Melinda Before I begin my full-on squeeing over this book, I need to add a disclaimer that Olivia is a complete auto-buy author for me. Once I read her self-published book, Teach Me, a few years ago I was all in and have never looked back. And beyond that, I consider Olivia a friend so you can consider that when reading this review for sure.  Okay, but moving on to this actual Continue Reading

Smexy’s October TBR

October 4, 2021 by Angela 4 Comments

Angela- It's October! Yay! I'm so ready for fall weather and end-of-the-year releases. Also, I'm gearing up for all the best of and favorite lists. I have a few books I'm excited for this month (a couple I've already read, but want to make sure they are on your radar). The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller 10/12 Historical Romance- I've been looking forward to a new Diana Biller since the moment I finished The Widow of Rose House. I hear this one is quite emotional and I'm here for Continue Reading

Melinda’s Favorites of 2020

YA: A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow blew me away when I listened to it this summer. The worldbuilding she managed to do is astonishing considering it's about Black sirens but set in modern times. Combine that with a discussion of respectability politics and misogynoir as well as sisterly love. It's a book I wish I could re-read for the first time again, it's that good. You Should See Me In a Crown by Leah Johnson is delightful and made me so happy. The cover is just beautiful to look Continue Reading

Kate’s Favorites of 2020

Historical Romance The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan: I'm not entirely sure what I can say since I feel like everybody has already read and loved this book. The Duke Who Didn't is a fluffy romance with a side of food porn. I fell in love with Chloe and her lists and board clip, her dad and his spicy food for Jeremy, and Jeremy and his endearing goofiness. I can't wait to visit Wedgeford again. The Beast of Beswick by Amalie Howard: I read The Beast of Beswick near the beginning of Continue Reading

Melanie’s Favorites of 2020

December 28, 2020 by Melanie 7 Comments

Contemporary: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert - cinnamon roll heroes were what got me through 2020 and very few authors do it as well as Talia Hibbert. When security guard Zafir Ansari's rescue of PhD candidate Dani Brown during a fire drill gone wrong goes viral (#DrRugbae 4ever), the two decide to fake a public relationship for the sake of Zaf's kids' charity with a side order of sexy times in private. I love the “lets bang to get her out of my system and surely I will not Continue Reading

Did Not Finish Friday

October 30, 2020 by Kini 3 Comments

Here's a round up of books that I started but didn't work for me. Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade - I was so excited about this book. The cover is gorgeous. And I am 100% here for fat people finding the love they desire. But this book was a terrible let down for me. I made it 40% and I just felt so disconnected from the story. For me, the beginning being so steeped in the world of fan fiction, particularly a fictional version of Game of Thrones, which I don’t watch. For me, this was a Continue Reading

Review: Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

October 19, 2020 by Melinda 4 Comments

Just a caveat that I don’t know if I can be completely unbiased when it comes to Olivia Dade’s books anymore because I’ve grown to genuinely like her as a person. I *think* I can separate the author from the art, but who really knows? However, Spoiler Alert really impacted me from start to finish and I loved it so much, and honestly it took me by surprise! The concept is a great one, but one I wasn’t sure would appeal to me specifically. April writes fan fic and is one of the top fic Continue Reading

The Chicks Gaslighter Album but make it Romance

July 24, 2020 by Melinda 3 Comments

Melinda and I have been DMing not stop about the new Chicks album since it debuted. We both love it. When Melinda pitched this list to me for a post on Smexy, I couldn't say yes fast enough. In the comments, tell us your favorite song from this album and what romance novel you would match it up with. Huge thank you to Melinda (@MelindaEdits) for this post. The Chicks released their 8th studio album on July 17th and I’ve probably listened to it at least 300 times since then. I can’t Continue Reading

Guest Review: 40 Love by Olivia Dade

June 15, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

Today we have a guest reviewer- Melinda @melindaedits with a review for 40 Love by Olivia Dade which pubs June 18. Olivia Dade is one of those authors that has slowly become one of my auto-buys because of the way she handles fatness, consent, and so many other topics. She has this way of weaving these issues into the fabric of her books without sacrificing plot, character, or emotion and always gives me incredible pay-off. 40-Love opens with truly one of the best and funniest scenes Continue Reading
