Smexy’s May TBR

May 3, 2021 by Angela 3 Comments

Angela: There are lots of great books releasing this month. My TBR for May is out of control and since I have no willpower, I might have skipped ahead and read a few already. LOL. Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala 5/4/2021 Cozy Mystery- Here for all the cozy mysteries. The first book in a new culinary cozy series full of sharp humor and delectable dishes—one that might just be killer.... People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry 5/11/2021 Contemporary Romance- I couldn't help Continue Reading

Review: The Revelation of Light and Dark by Sawyer Bennett

April 12, 2021 by Jen 5 Comments

The Revelation of Light and Dark by Sawyer BennettChronicles of the Stone Veil #1Romantic Fantasy/Urban FantasyFebruary 9, 2021Reviewed by Jen Some of my favorite reads over the past several months have been in the fantasy category. The cover for The Revelation of Light and Dark by Sawyer Bennett has the same vibe as the Ash and Blood series and ACOTAR. Of course, I was in.  First up- here’s your warning, each book ends on a cliffhanger. Big cliffhangers. BUT, the first three books Continue Reading

Smexy’s February TBR

February 5, 2021 by Angela 2 Comments

Angela: I have so many books to read this month. So. Many. And I think they are all historical romance for some reason. There are like seven million historical romance books coming out on the 9th. Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins Historical Romance 2/9- Y'all Ms. Bev is an auto-read for me and I've been putting this off so I have it to look forward to. The Duke Heist (The Wild Wynchesters #1) by Erica Ridley Historical Romance 2/9- I was drawn in by the cover and then I Continue Reading

Review: Jilted by Sawyer Bennent

July 13, 2017 by Sheena Leave a Comment

Jilted by Sawyer Bennent Series: Love Hurts, #2 Contemporary Romance Released: July 11, 2017 Loveswept Reviewed by Sheena Eden Goodnight went to Los Angeles to make it big, not to be publicly humiliated by her cheating fiancé at a red-carpet premiere. But when Eden returns to her hometown to put the scandal behind her, she can barely find a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. Turns out the locals are worse than the paparazzi, and they all think she’s turned into a spoiled brat. But in a Continue Reading

Review: Roman by Sawyer Bennett

March 20, 2017 by Tori 1 Comment

Roman by Sawyer Bennett Series: Cold Fury Hockey, #7 Contemporary Romance February 1, 2017 Loveswept Reviewed by Tori In a league full of troublemakers, Cold Fury defenseman Roman Sýkora stands out—at least when it comes to negative publicity. When he’s not chilling in the penalty box, the sizzling Czech skate demon is racking up tabloid headlines for his scandalous behavior with the ladies. But now Roman’s feeling the burn from management to clean up his act, or else. Luckily he’s got Continue Reading

Review: Sugar Daddy by Sawyer Bennett

May 24, 2016 by Mandi 3 Comments

Sugar Daddy by Sawyer Bennett (Sugar Bowl #1) Released: May 24, 2016 Erotic Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Few things to note upfront: First, the heroine was raped when she was younger, and relives some of it through flashbacks during the book. She tries to exact revenge against her rapist throughout the book. Second, this has a cliffhanger, with the HEA coming in book three. Sela Halstead was drugged and raped at the age of sixteen. She doesn't remember everything, but she Continue Reading

Review: Hawke by Sawyer Bennett

March 16, 2016 by Mandi 2 Comments

Hawke by Sawyer Bennett (Cold Fury #5) Released: March 15, 2016 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I love hockey romance and Sawyer Bennett does a nice job with this series. In this book we get Hawke, star defenseman for the NHL's Cold Fury, in North Carolina. This is a second chance romance trope, as Hawke and Vale were in love at the start of his career. They were both big into partying  hard. They loved hard, partied hard, and had a lot of sex. And then one night Vale Continue Reading

Review: Alex by Sawyer Bennett

October 15, 2014 by Mandi 17 Comments

Alex by Sawyer Bennett (Cold Fury #1) Released: October 14, 2014 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi If the idea of a super grumpy, jerky (yet redeemable) hockey hero excites you, than Alex Crossman is the hero and the book for you. Alex is a star professional hockey player for the Cold Fury, except - he hates hockey. The better he does, the more the crowd cheers, the more he hates it. But he wants the money so he keeps playing. I even snicker as I see a sign across the Continue Reading
