Guest Post: American Sweethearts Playlist by Adriana Herrera
Hello Smexy readers! Can you believe we made it here? The last Dreamers story and this one is our M/F. Y'a'll I love these two and their playlist probably my favorite of the series. it's the perfect mix of breakup songs and old skool Latinx. I mean I start with Selena and we go from there. 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

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Christina Lauren and Julianna Keyes
The Honey Don't List by Christina LaurenContemporary RomanceMarch 24, 2020 by Gallery BooksARC Christina Lauren is one of those author duos that I keep on my auto buy list even though their books have gradually moved toward more semi-closed door romance and womens fiction rather than the hotter than hell romances I remember back in the day when they first started publishing together. I miss those down and dirty, filthy love scenes. The Honey Don't List starts out in a way that completely Continue Reading
Smexy Deals!!
A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick. Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases—a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old. It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds Continue Reading
Monday Mini’s- Mini reviews for books by Christina Lauren and Katie Porter
The Honey Don’t List by Christina Lauren- I have read many of Lauren’s books. They are usually very enjoyable to me. Although I really disliked the last one, Twice in a Blue Moon for lots of reasons. I still wanted to read this book. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. It felt similar in a few ways to Dating You Hating You, work enemies of some sort that fall in love. (CW: workplace sexism, emotional abuse by boss, disabled heroine) There was nothing spectacular about this book for me. Continue Reading
