Review: The Finish Line by Kate Stewart

February 3, 2021 by Jen 4 Comments

The Finish Line by Kate Stewart

The Finish Line by Kate StewartRomantic SuspenseJanuary 24, 2021, by KLS PressReview by Jen I couldn’t wait to read The Finish Line by Kate Stewart. Exodus (book two) did end with an HEA. But, it never really sat completely well with me. I LOVED the story…but I didn’t feel as satisfied with Tobias and Cecelia’s HEA as I wanted to be. Did they REALLY belong together, and I wanted more backstory on Tobias before I could truly support him vs Cecelia’s first love, Sean. I was squarely Continue Reading

Review: The Kingdom Duet by Rina Kent

December 1, 2020 by Jen 7 Comments

Kingdom Duet: Reign of a King and Rise of a QueenBy Rina KentRomantic SuspenseOctober 29th and November 19thBlackthorn Books, LLC Reviewed by Jen My current addiction is bully romance books. I feel a tinge guilty about it because the behavior in real life would have me screaming “call the cops, this guy scares the crap out of me!” But, since this is between us, I’m confessing my love for this genre. I mention this because while The Kingdom Duet is technically romantic suspense, it is a Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for Books by Alexa Martin, Eva Leigh, and Nalini Singh

December 10, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini SinghMystery/SuspenseDecember 3, 2019 by BerkleyARC Stepping into the mystery/suspense genre Nalini Singh introduces readers to the small town of Golden Cove, New Zealand and a newly widowed, classical pianist home again after a long absence. This is very much a character driven story as Ms. Singh slowly introduces all the inhabitants of this small town and the intricate, and sometimes messy, way they fit together. When a young woman, full of joy and life Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts: Kingdom of Exiles and Her Other Secret

June 25, 2019 by Angela Leave a Comment

Kingdom of Exiles by Maxym M. MartineauThe Beast Charmer #1Fantasy RomanceJune 25, 2019 by Sourcebooks Casablanca KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I love the concept of this series. Whomever described it as "Assassin's Creed meets Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was spot on. The heroine is an exiled Beast Charmer and the hero is an assassin who is hired to kill her. They team up instead, (or do they?) when Leena barters four of her beasts in exchange for her life. This was a good, Continue Reading

Guest Post: Queer Romance Recs for your Pride Month Reading by Layla Reyne

June 13, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

Author Layla Reyne is back on Smexy for some recs for Pride month! Out this week, PRINCE OF KILLERS is book one of my new male/male romantic suspense trilogy, FOG CITY. Usually, when my writing brain is in romantic suspense mode, I’m reading a different genre. While working on Fog City, I’ve been binge-reading contemporary romance. These are just a few of my recent favorites that I’d recommend for your Pride Month reading. Top Shelf – Allison Temple – A cover with character, and a Continue Reading

February 10, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

Thanks for having me on the Smexy blog to celebrate the upcoming release of NOBLE HOPS, the final book of the Trouble Brewing series. I’m bringing a sexy excerpt with me today that teases the hot distillery hook-up (over a barrel!) between federal prosecutor and brewer Nic Price and FBI agent Cam Byrne. Enjoy! EXCERPT: They wove through the first room of big silver tanks and into the second cooler one, to the back where he and Eddie had made extra room between the stout tanks. “You Continue Reading

Helyce’s Final Thoughts on Thursday

December 27, 2018 by Helyce 5 Comments

Hello Friends, It is with much sadness that I write this post.  My time at Smexy Books has come to an end. I will never forget that day that Mandi emailed me and asked if I might be interested in reviewing with her and Tori.  At the time, I was a stay-at-home-mom. I would read while my kids were at soccer practice. When I found the Goodreads community my reading world opened and I found so many other genres I had not explored before.  Talking books was how Mandi and I met and Continue Reading

Review: Desperate Girls by Laura Griffin

August 16, 2018 by Mandi Leave a Comment

I love Laura Griffin's romantic suspense books. Maybe a little light on the romance, but she writes creepy suspense and crime so well. I never get bored with crime scene details or detective work. Her books are fast paced and full of intrigue. In Desperate Girls, we have a high-powered defense attorney, Brynn,  who is looking to get a young adult off of murder charges - a murder she truly believes he did not commit. She has to travel with her co-worker Ross to Dallas, to attend the trial. Continue Reading
