Reader Feature
I love learning more about who is reading Smexy and thought it would be fun to occasionally feature a Smexy Reader on the site. First up is Mag. Tell Us About Yourself: I am a mother, wife, sister, daughter, teacher and friend. I enjoy trying new things- most recently whittling and co-leading a community ukulele jam group. While I enjoy a wide variety of activities, my favorite by far, is reading. I read several romance books blogs daily. Currently my favorite sub genre is contemporary Continue Reading

I had a very clear picture in my mind of who he was, and the kind of woman who would end up being the perfect fit for him, and it Continue Reading
