The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren - If you think you can handle a tough premise, school shooting survivors, I highly recommend this book and the series. It's been twelve years since tragedy struck the senior class of Long Acre High School. Only a few students survived that fateful night—a group the media dubbed The Ones Who Got Away. Liv Arias thought she'd never return to Long Acre—until a documentary brings her and the other survivors back home. Suddenly her old flame, Finn Dorsey, Continue Reading

I feel like it has been forever since I talked about what I was reading! I looked back and it has been a few weeks, but I am back now. Here’s what I read recently. What Matters More by Liora Blake- I picked this up because I have read and enjoyed all of her previous books. For the most part I found this book boring and lacking emotional connection. Too much emotional stuff happened off page. That is annoying to me. There was a fair amount of sex though if that is something you are Continue Reading
Once Upon a Wedding- Guest Post by Barbara Samuel
Author Barbara Samuel stopped by to give us some info on her contribution to the Once Upon a Wedding anthology, out June 11th. I LOVE second chance romance and can't wait to read this. I love reunion romances. I mean, really. Who doesn’t wonder what if about some old sweetheart? Awhile back, I read a statistic that said that if a pair of former boyfriend/girlfriends meet many years later and both are single, they have a very high probability of getting Continue Reading

But that was a lifetime ago. At twenty-seven, Griff is now the accidental patriarch of his family farm.

Author Layla Reyne is back on Smexy for some recs for Pride month! Out this week, PRINCE OF KILLERS is book one of my new male/male romantic suspense trilogy, FOG CITY. Usually, when my writing brain is in romantic suspense mode, I’m reading a different genre. While working on Fog City, I’ve been binge-reading contemporary romance. These are just a few of my recent favorites that I’d recommend for your Pride Month reading. Top Shelf – Allison Temple – A cover with character, and a Continue Reading

For the Duke's Eyes Only: School for Dukes #2 by Lenora Bell - I've really enjoyed this series. If adventure has a name…it must be Lady India Rochester. The intrepid archaeologist possesses a sharp blade and an even sharper knack for uncovering history’s forgotten women. Unfortunately, she has one annoying weakness: the dangerously handsome Duke of Ravenwood. Former best friend. Current enemy. And the man who dared to break her heart. Daniel Bonds, the Duke of Ravenwood, is a Continue Reading
Release Day Excerpt: Waiting For Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey
I blink a few times, staring straight into Drew Danforth’s face. It’s like when you’re a kid and there’s a solar eclipse, and all the teachers are like, “Don’t look directly into the sun! You’ll destroy your retinas!” but there’s always that one kid (Johnny Berger, in our class) who can’t stop staring. In this situation, I’m Johnny Berger. And I guess Drew Danforth is the sun. “Are you okay?” he asks again, enunciating his words even more as if me understanding him is the problem. His Continue Reading

Give Up the Ghost by Jenn BurkeNot Dead Yet #2M/M PNRJune 3, 2019 by Carina Press KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I've always really enjoyed this author and the first book in this series, Not Dead Yet, had me hooked from almost the first word.

Everything would be wonderful if Wes weren't keeping secrets from Hudson and if Hudson weren't Continue Reading
