Guest Post: Victoria Dahl Celebrates Galentine’s Day
Galentine’s Day is a fictional day created by Leslie Knope (aka Amy Poheler, star of Parks and Rec). It’s a day to celebrate the girlfriends in your life and I thought this day goes perfectly with Victoria Dahl’s new book, Flirting with Disaster. I only watch Parks and Rec occasionally, so I’m incredibly grateful to Mandi for clueing me in to Leslie’s “Galentine’s Day.” It’s a chance to celebrate before Valentine’s Day with your gal friends, and I think it’s a spectacular Continue Reading

Review: Close Enough to Touch by Victoria Dahl
Close Enough to Touch by Victoria Dahl August 28, 2012 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I read this book and then let it sit for a few days before I wrote the review because I just couldn’t figure out my feelings for this one.

After getting fired while on set of a movie, and then having a very bad break up with a boyfriend that literally leaves her penniless, she gets in the Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–June 8th.
10. Fair warning for Top Ten today. It is full of mantitty and ‘arm porn’, and more mantitty. For example, dirty Joe Manganiello… (I love how everyone is staring at his crotch. Channing looks impressed. LOL)Yeah, we have a lot to talk about. First let’s get to some book news. The 2012 Lori Foster Reader/Author Get Together has come and gone. I love this weekend. One of the most casual, laid back conferences you can go to. I got to meet tons of bloggers and had a great Continue Reading
