Scenic Sunday: Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews
This is our final Scenic Sunday countdown to Ruby Fever which is out this Tuesday!!! This book is hugely action packed and a lot happens in terms of moving both the overarching plot along as well as the progression of Catalina and Alessandro's relationship. Rather than pick a very action packed sequence for this post, I chose to focus on a fairly quiet scene that really shows a lot about how these two characters feel about each other but also showcases vulnerability in a character who is Continue Reading

Review: The Proposition by Madeleine Roux
The Proposition by Madeleine RouxHistorical RomanceRandom House, Ballantine DellAugust 2, 2022 Review by Kate H. The Proposition by Madeline Roux is set in the early 19th century in Sussex countryside, as well as London. It has a dastardly villain in Lord Boyle, who you will detest throughout the novel, especially for his ability to fool almost everyone. Clemency is the FMC and she is strong-headed, but a bit naive having grown up in the countryside. At the beginning of the novel, she Continue Reading

Rival Radio by Kathryn NolanContemporary RomanceMay 20, 2022, by That's What She Said Publishing Review by Melanie I normally review a lot of ARCs for Smexy but I have to make an exception for this book, which came out in May of this year. I don’t know how I managed to miss a book that so very clearly tapped into all of my romance novel catnips but I’m glad I finally got my eyeballs on it because I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Review: Dance with the Devil by Kit Rocha
Dance with the Devil by Kit RochaMercenary Librarians #3Dystopia/Fantasy RomanceAugust 16, 2022, by TorARC Review by Angela I'm always excited for another Kit Rocha book, but my anticipation for Dani and Rafe's book was sky high. These two gorgeous, yet deadly characters seemed to be engaged in a 'will they or won't they?' dance over the last two books. The Mercenary Librarians is a spin-off of the Beyond series, but if you haven't read the previous series don't worry, Continue Reading
