When I saw that Day had a new book coming out, I asked my friend Lola if she wanted to read and review for us. Lola is a huge fan of Sylvia Day. Lola also runs MileHighKinkBookClub. Definitely give her a follow on all the things. Take it away Lola- Suspenseful. Gripping. Must Read. Psychological. Intense. Dark. Haunting. I just finished reading and I still feel a prickly sensation on the back of my neck. This is Butterfly in Frost by Sylvia Day. The most anticipated read of the year is Continue Reading
Cosmo Red Hot Reads from Harlequin
When I was in New York City recently, I was able to attend the launch party for the Cosmo Red Hot line coming from Harlequin. These two have joined forces to release two books each month. Each book is 30,000 words (so more of a novella) will be a contemporary, with confident, independent heroines who get paired with all sorts of sexy heroes. Tycoons, bad boys and maybe a geeky guy thrown into the mix. And being a “Red Hot” read, the sex scenes are sure to be uber smexy. The line launches today Continue Reading
Review: Entwined With You by Sylvia Day
Entwined With You by Sylvia Day (Crossfire #3) June 4, 2013 Erotic Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi This series is my guilty pleasure crack series. It’s so over the top crazy, yet I can’t look away. There has been much drama due to the fact this once trilogy is now drawn out to be five books. I knew this going in, so the lack of complete closure at the end of this book wasn’t a shock (although the end is VERY abrupt and felt odd). I was still quite frustrated with Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–November 30th
10. Grrrr Gi Joe. You beast. (Thanks May) 9. JR Ward gave us a tiny excerpt from Lover at Last yesterday. From page 43: Blay leaned in, his upper lip peeling back from his fangs. “Just so we’re clear, your cousin is giving me what I need. All day long. Every day. You and me?” He motioned back and forth between them with the cigarette. “We work together. That’s it. So I want you to do us both a favor before you think I ‘need’ to know something. Ask yourself, ‘If I were flipping burgers at Continue Reading

Review: Reflected in You by Sylvia Day
Reflected in You by Sylvia Day (Crossfire #2) Released: October 2, 2012 Erotic Berkley Reviewed by Mandi As I’ve been waiting for the sequel to Bared to You this past year, I kept thinking in my mind that the crazy intensity between Gideon and Eva would either not live up to my hopes in book two, or it would get old and I would get tired of their seriously messed up lives. I was wrong. Oh this book is intense. There is some massive crazy, possessive, jealous rages. And I Continue Reading

Hot In Handcuffs by Shayla Black, Sylvia Day, Shiloh Walker Erotic Anthology July 3, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce Arresting Desire by Shayla Black Two years ago, Jon Bocelli was working a case that ended with his brother framed for the death of Lucia’s DiStefano’s father.

She announced early this week that she has a cover and title for Qhuy’s book (out spring 2013) and that she will be posting it to her Facebook Page “soon.” How dare she tease us like that?! What color will the cover be? There has to be two men on there, right? What will the title be? Lover of All Peens? Lover Bend Over? No? P.S.There Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
I just finished Bared to You by Sylvia Day last night. It is by far the sexiest book I’ve read this week (and most of this year). So I had to pick it for this post. Hero: Gideon Cross. Billionaire. Tortured soul. Dark past. Becomes obsessed with Eva. Is good in bed. Heroine: Eva Trammell. Also comes from money.Also has dark past. Has bi-sexual male model BFF as roommate who also is screwed up. Tries to resist Gideon. Fails. She likes to sneak to his office (just upstairs from Continue Reading
