10. what? 9. I’ve been going to Maryse’s book blog for a long time. I just noticed she came out with a list of romance books featuring older women with younger men. Well  hello there. She also has lists for bad boys, fighters, student/teacher etc… Definitely go check out her site.   8. Should we just get right to it? David Beckham is returning to the Super Bowl commercials. This year you get to vote if David Beckham should be covered or uncovered for his commercial. Ummmm. If anyone Continue Reading

10. I NEED a donkey so I can scratch its ears and it looks like this: Just the sweetest thing ever! (they don’t smell, do they?)   9. Nicole rec’d Wild Ones by Kristine Wyllys last week and I’m so glad I finally read it. This book is dark, violent, with a massive, broody underground boxing hero and a heroine that has a sarcastic, cocky attitude. I loved them together. They have lots of angry sex. And the heroine has a BFF named Jax who made me laugh out loud at one point (it’s Continue Reading

10. I DO use lip balm several times a day. All I’m sayin. In lip balm news: I am obsessed with EOS lip balm. I bought it because I have a girl crush on the actress that is in this commercial. Plus it’s a funky big shape. I have the summer fruit flavor but I want them alllll (bought mine at walmart)   9. Last week I mentioned I was going to read The Do-Over by M.K. Schiller and I did! And I really enjoyed! Kyle is a total jerky man-slut (sounds awesome, yes? Stick with me!) Lanie is a Continue Reading

10. Update: The snow has not interfered with wasting my day online. All is lazy good here. The wind chill is currently –5 – I don’t even know if my dog will attempt the outside today. 9. Amy tweeted this cover yesterday. I know nothing about this book or the authors. But I do know that this cover is hot. The blurb doesn’t scare me away either. (Can’t find info on the release date) 8. I first saw The Do-Over by MK Schiller recommended by Jane from Dear Author, and since then I’ve see many Continue Reading

Looking ahead at the calendar, this will be the last Top Ten list for 2013. From here on out I’m drunk on eggnog bishes! It’s the only way to welcome 2014. So before I gain 50 pounds and fall into an incoherent lump, let’s review my ten favorite Top Ten items of 2013. 10. I discovered The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and became OBSESSED with this youtube series. And then Lizzie goes and touches Darcy’s shoulder. And Darcy is all – OMG she just touched my shoulder - and I fell off my couch.   Continue Reading

  10. There will be no Christmas miracles in the Smexy household this year. 9. Speaking of Christmas miracles, I enjoyed a contemporary romance featuring a pastor hero called Married for Christmas by Noelle Adams. Let me stress, this book is not an inspirational romance. Recommended by Ruthie Knox, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The hero’s wife died two years ago and in order to be considered for a new pastor position, he needs to be married. His best friend for the past two years aka Continue Reading

    10. Its that time of year again. That time where stores cram holiday spirit down our throats and we spend an exuberant amount of money buying the perfect gift only to be asked for the receipt so it can be returned the next day. What makes my holidays complete is funny holiday decorations. Click here to see more. It’s from 2009 but remains timelessly funny.   9. Have you been naughty or nice this year? Check out http://socialsanta.co and find out. It uses your twitter acct Continue Reading

10. Is this the prettiest advent calendar you have ever seen? When I wake up on December 1, this will be waiting for me, right?   9. Jane from Dear Author rec’d Shooter by Dahlia West to me this week, and I had a blast reading it. The hero, Chris “Shooter” and all of his buddies that work at a car garage are ex-military. Chris is very alpha, cranky, intense. His buddies give him a hard time the entire book which made me laugh, a lot. Hayley moves to his town and has a very dark and Continue Reading

10. I honestly had to force myself to stop playing Candy Crush – it was all I was doing. Book reading? Making dinner? No – candy crushing. So I stopped in the mid-200’s. *starts sweating and shaking* While I’m keeping my distance, I did find this interview with the creator really interesting – so crazy how viral this game is. The game itself brings in $633,000 a DAY. Why can’t my computer husband do something like this? *wink* Do I need those Candy Crush leggings for Christmas??? OR – do I need Continue Reading

10. This is happening. I can’t be stopped. 9. Goodreads has announced their nominees for the best books of 2013. You can vote in the many categories here. The Best Romance category includes Lover at Last by JR Ward and then pretty much every New Adult book you can think of. I’m not against the new adult genre, but come on people. No historical books? No adult contemporaries? *frowny face*  (I wrote in a vote for Heart of Obsidian by Nalini Singh. Take that Goodreads). I will say the Continue Reading
