Making Up by Lucy Parker (London Celebrities #3) Released: May 28, 2018 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I highly recommend this author if you have yet to try her. This is the third book I've read by her and they have all been adorable and sweet and sexy. In Making Up, we return to the theater, but in a burlesque/acrobatic show. The Festival of Masks is a little bit of everything - lewd humor, amazing aerial skills, singing, dancing and it's a very popular show. When Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – May 25
10. I'm back, bishes!! I'm sorry the Top Ten has been gone for so long. I didn't really intentionally stop it. It's just that real life didn't give out a lot of breaks recently.

Kini’s Friday Kisses
Welcome to the first edition of Kini’s Friday Kisses, hereby known as #kinisfridaykisses or #kfk I have been losing my reading and reviewing mojo lately, but I am really excited about the format change at Smexy.

So I googled "reading words that start with F" Nothing interesting appeared. I changed it to K and got Continue Reading

He survives years of this abuse Continue Reading

Something Blue by Lena Hart Series: Brides of Cedar Bend, #4 Contemporary Romance Released: March 31, 2018 Maroon Ash Publishing Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “You are my priority, Quinn. You always were. Even when I didn’t show it.” Tears welled in her eyes and he was taken aback by it. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen her cry and he didn’t think he could handle it if she did because of him. All he ever wanted was to be with her and make her Continue Reading
