Nothing better to kick off the new year by revisiting some of my favorite sex scenes of 2012. Apparently, paranormal peen didn’t do it for me this year. (I did think about including Lothaire but I only have it in print and I lent my book to someone so I didn’t have it to copy out a scene. Sadness!) You can revisit Favorite Sex Scenes of 2009 and 2011. (2010 got no love for some reason.) Feeling Hot by Elle Kennedy Review l Kindle When I heard on twitter the words “there is a blow Continue Reading

Helyce’s Favorite Books of 2012
About a week ago, I sat down to make a list of the books I considered stand out reads in 2012. I reviewed my posts on Smexy Books, then I looked on my Goodreads shelves, and then I flipped through my Kindle and my Nook to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. When I finally sat back and looked at what I had written down, I was a bit stumped as I looked at my very sad, very short list. Here I’d been worried I’d have to edit and delete from my “to long” list and well, yea…not so much. I then had to Continue Reading
Tori’s Favorite Books of 2012
Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a body part I can’t live without. I need them all to survive. 2012 was a fabulous and turbulent year for bibliophiles and bookworms alike. We watched normally sane authors engage in dubious behavior, we saw FanFic hit the NY best sellers list, and we watched a few new genres appear while old favorites take a turn for the worse. I read over 500 books this year and found myself extremely hard pressed to pick just a few to share as my favorites. As you Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten Favorite Heroes for 2012
Next week we’ll be bringing you our favorite books of 2012 and on New Years day I’ll be posting my favorite Sex Scenes of 2012. (That’s a good way to ring in the new year, yes?) But today, let’s talk about the men of 2012. The men who wooed us, who flaunted their hard abs and big bulges, who whispered dirty things in our ears. Tack (Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley). Tack goes from the most arrogant, obnoxious ‘alpha-hole’ to the most lovable (still arrogant) alpha hero that is out there. I. Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–November 9th
10. Are you seeing the final Twilight movie? We’ve made each movie into a girl’s night out with a stop at a wine bar before and after to help us make it through the movie *wink* But I don’t know if I can gather the energy for this final one… 9. Linkin Fever, a fan facebook page for Karen Marie Moning books (and the band Linkin Park…hence their name), posted this picture as their vision of Lor (from Iced). WHY HELLO LOR! Come nod at me at Chester’s. Yes. Please. 8. Goodreads have Continue Reading
