I didn't get nearly as much reading done in the last week as I wanted to do. I vow to read at least one book over the New Year holiday though. The Accidental Beauty Queen by Teri Wilson- This book had a cute blurb and was described as a cross between The Parent Trap (Lindsay Lohan version is my fave) and Miss Congeniality, which I also enjoyed. Sadly, the book was pretty much a disappointment. The heroine, Charlotte, is a librarian and ends up filling in for her sister in a beauty Continue Reading

Helyce’s Final Thoughts on Thursday
Hello Friends, It is with much sadness that I write this post. My time at Smexy Books has come to an end. I will never forget that day that Mandi emailed me and asked if I might be interested in reviewing with her and Tori. At the time, I was a stay-at-home-mom. I would read while my kids were at soccer practice. When I found the Goodreads community my reading world opened and I found so many other genres I had not explored before. Talking books was how Mandi and I met and Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Mornings- Merry Christmas Eve!
Most of the presents are bought (I think my husband and the eldest are going out into the masses to purchase a few more this morning), my daughter is home from college and I'm going to sit down today with a glass of wine and hope I can fit everything in bags because my wrapping skills are profoundly lacking. I only have a couple of books for you today because this last week was so hectic. But they are good ones! (Also, WordPress isn't cooperating with me this morning so this post will Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
Pilot and the Puck-Up by Pippa Grant- I actually read this a few weeks ago but I forgot about it. It’s been a hectic month, what can I say. Grant can be a little much for me with her meta take on romance and just general over the topness, but I really enjoyed this book. Joey, the heroine was a sarcastic and smart heroine, one of my favorite kinds. Zeus is a not so dumb hockey player. He is instantly smitten with her. I loved the way their relationship builds. Zeus loves Joey for her strengths Continue Reading
