Review: Making it Last by Ruthie Knox
Making it Last by Ruthie Knox (Camelot #4) July 15, 2013 Contemporary Novella Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I love it when authors give us a hero and a heroine who are already established. Even better, Ruthie Knox earlier this year gave us a novella showing us how Amber and Tony meet and fall in love in How to Misbehave (I gave it a B+ just like this book). Now we get this couple again, ten years later. Three kids later. And the magic of brand new love has worn off. Amber is Continue Reading

Author Eden Winters: Series, Anyone? (Giveaway)
We are happy to have Eden Winters visiting Smexy today. Her second book in her m/m romantic suspense series, Collusion, just released. I’ve known some writers who know in advance that they’re going to write six serialized books. They outline, they plan, and then they write. I’ve never written a series. “What?” you say? Goodreads clearly shows that I have several series available: The Angel of 13th Street, The Match Before Christmas, and the Diversion series. And yet… I’ve never written a Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday–Velocity by Amelia C. Gormley
I’ve read and enjoyed the first two books in this series which follows Derrick, who is a handyman and starts off as a shy, loner. He meets Gavin, an accountant whom he falls for. You can read my reviews for the first two books here and here. I recommend reading this series in order. Ice clinked in a pair of glasses, floating in the golden-brown liquid, as he toed open the door to the bathroom. He smiled at the sight of Gavin reclining in the tub, eyes drifting shut. “Want a drink?” Continue Reading
