Reading has been hit or miss lately and honestly it has been hard to really get lost in books. Although I was able to finish all these books it is possible that any lack of enjoyment of them is reflective of the world at large and not the book. Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan- Delilah and Macon didn’t get along when they were children. One could even say that he bullied her and she responded in kind. The flashbacks of them as kids and antagonizing each other were at times hard to read. They Continue Reading
Guest Post: Introduction to Faerie world by M.A. Grant
It’s a pleasure to visit Smexy Books to discuss the world of THE DARKEST COURT series, where three Unseelie princes attempt to win an apocalyptic Faerie civil war. One of my great joys while writing the series was reinterpreting legends of the fae and creating something new from my favorite stories. Each book focuses on one of the three main factions of the Faerie world: UNSEELIE COURT The Unseelie, or Winter Court, open the series in THE PRINCE OF AIR AND DARKNESS. The old stories Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Fantasy/PNR Reviews for books by Shelly Laurenston, Sierra Dean, and MaryJanice Davidson
Badger to the Bone by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #3PNRMarch 31, 2020 by KensingtonARC I'm still surprised when I find readers who love PNR, but still haven't picked up a Shelly Laurenston book.

Hello Smexy readers! Can you believe we made it here? The last Dreamers story and this one is our M/F.

These songs are a great way to send off this series just as Pris and Juanpa are ideal to send off the Dreamers. Their love story is a hard-won one but it's also one that everyone in their lives is Continue Reading

Dream Maker by Kristen Ashley
Dream Maker doesn't release until May 26, but I wanted to share this review early so you know what decision to make :) I am not expert in Kristen Ashley’s books, but I have read over 30 of them. For me, Ashley is at her best when she doesn't go too far off course from her typical formula (damsel in distress/women in peril + alphahole + over the top drama + interesting cast of characters + overly long descriptions and conversations). I found that Dream Maker didn’t stray too far from Continue Reading
