10. I try to start the Top Ten with something relevant -  but I have nothing today. So Blunt Card it is!   9. We are getting a new Polo Romance series. Ignacio Figueras (pic above), aka Nacho aka renowned polo player, AKA Ralph Lauren model, will be part of the process. Grand Central Publishing (GCP), a division of Hachette Book Group, is excited to announce the acquisition for its Forever imprint of The Polo Season, a series of romantic novels presented by Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras Continue Reading

10. It's Halloween, which means I have to feature my two favorite Halloween Blunt Cards.  Oh Drunk Peggy.     9. Something amazing happened this past weekend. Fiction Vixen (aka Sophia) and Smexy Books (aka me) met - IN PERSON. After years and years of friendship, and at least 3 million texts, we met. We laughed. We loved. We had an amazing time. It's not fair that we live on opposite sides of the United States. Not fair at all. If anyone ever says true friendships can't Continue Reading

10. Yesterday was National Red Wine Day. I hope you all celebrated appropriately. 9. I just finished The Fifteenth Minute by Sarina Bowen this morning. She is one of my favorite authors and in this one, as in her others, she brings up a difficult topic. This time the hero has been accused of non-consensual sex prior to the book starting. He is innocent, but the college may take action depending upon an upcoming hearing. I think the author handles this topic well and I like how it all plays Continue Reading

10. Are we going to be Naughty or Nice this weekend? Please answer appropriately. (thanks angela!)   As soon as he opened the door, she saw that wild look in his eyes that meant just one thing. He'd been playing World of Warcraft all night. — 50 Nerds of Grey (@50NerdsofGrey) October 7, 2015 9. Best Twitter account ever?? 50 Nerds of Grey. To take a looky and try not to giggle.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAai7yjv6v4 8. Sherlock Trailer for their Christmas Continue Reading

10. Luckily, it looks like Joaquin is now going to turn out to sea. Because by the time he would have gotten to Maryland, we were getting the bearded, somewhat recluse Joaquin and I'm not sure that's my favorite 9. Some book news - Teresa Bailey has a new book coming out in December. Hot cover and I love the series name - Made in Jersey. #Hapenis Kristen Callihan's next new adult book will be called The Game Plan and comes out this November. AND - Jen Frederick's follow-up to Sacked (which Continue Reading

10. Does anyone need this after this week? This cute Etsy store creates custom wine and beer labels - I might get some for Thanksgiving to use for hostess gifts! Link 9. I probably shouldn't be blabbing about this book yet - because I'm only at the 25% mark. BUT - the girls from Fiction Vixen rec'd this to me, and when they rec something, I always listen. I usually shy away from hollywood heroes (or heroines) because - I'm just not a fan of stories set around Hollywood for some reason. BUT - Continue Reading

10. Man, it's hard to write that date in the title. We remember. We never forget.   9. My friend Pamela rec'd this one to me - and we share a very similar taste in books. C.M. McKenna is the pen name for Cara McKenna, an author whose voice I love. I read this and I liked it a lot - but - BUT - there is not an HEA at the end. For that reason, I guess I have to say this is not a romance book, although there is a romance (an extremely dark, messed up romance) in this book. While I think Continue Reading

10. It's Labor Day Weekend! My neighbor is having a get-together and she always makes Bourbon Slushies. They. Are. Amazing. I don't know her exact recipe but I think it's pretty similar to this. *cheers*   9. Pamela recommend this book to me - it's a second chance love story and it's fabulous. The book starts in present day and the h/h have not seen each other for 15 years - but happen to randomly run into each other on the subway. Flashback fifteen years to how they met and fell in Continue Reading

10. Schoooooooool starts Monday. This year I have a middle-schooler. Hold me. 9. KMM released the back cover copy for her January Feverborn release.  Go to her Facebook Page to read it. I still see that darn "Jada" name and not "Dani." Yes, I'm holding a grudge!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmcezy9RqjY 8. I saw this tweeted yesterday - and even though it's from 2012 - it's just the best kiss and I had forgotten all about it! #FlashbackFriday! (Best part starts at 30 sec Continue Reading

10. In my newsfeed was an announcement that the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte will release on September 8. I didn't realize this was a thing - people waiting on the release date for this drink. Also announced that this latte will actually contain pumpkin this year. Let me tell you something - last fall I had a martini at a restaurant called a pumpkin martini something something - it tasted like pumpkin pie - but it only had the spices to make it taste like pumpkin pie - not actual pumpkin. I Continue Reading
