Hi everyone! I'm new here at Smexy Books, but a lot of you will recognize me from my long tenure (6 years OMG) at Fiction Vixen. Fiction Vixen will be shutting down soon and right when I was deep in the middle of a FV closing depression Mandi asked me to come and join the lovely ladies at Smexy. After my excitement died down a bit, I said ABSOFREAKINLUTELY. So here I am. This post will be short and sweet since I'm still in transition mode, but I plan on reviewing, posting my TBR list and Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
Another good week of reads and kisses! Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid. This was my favorite by Reid in the Winston Brothers series. I really enjoyed the pairing of Simone and Roscoe. The book had a bit of a suspenseful element but it didn't take over the story. This is a second chance at love story and y'all may know that's one of my favorites. Roscoe's love for Simone is sweet and tortured. Simone's journey to discovering Roscoe is her person was excellent. I love Reid's voice, but some Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts: Summer is almost over…
I can’t believe it’s August already. In a little over two weeks, my daughter will return to college for her sophomore year. I had high expectations that college would mark some kind of turning point for her, and it did in small ways, but not to the extent I’d hoped. I’m crossing my fingers that she is ready to take on new challenges, be a little braver and have a more positive experience. My son will be a senior in college and he’s ready to be done with school-but I don’t think he really has Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
Happy Humpday! Today's swoony/smexy quotes hail from Kennedy Kelly's Roomies. Kelly is an author I came across last year and blasted through all of her books; loving her voice as much as I did. Roomies displays Kelly's trademark sexy, angsty drama that I just can't get enough of. Three Roommates. Two Guys. One Love. For Lexi, dodging her roommates' attempt to land her the guy of her dreams isn't easy, especially since those roommates are goofball Travis and Sexy-as-sin Continue Reading

Review: Shadow’s Bane by Karen Chance
Shadow's Bane by Karen Chance Dorina Bashaba, #4 Urban Fantasy July 31, 2018 Favorite Quote: “Love is sending someone away because you would rather hurt than hurt them. Love is fighting beside them, bleeding along with them and putting their well-being above your own. Love is trembling at their touch so much that you do not notice that they are trembling at yours.” “I’m not trembling.” “I am,” he whispered and kissed me. Reviewed by Tori Dorina Basarab is a Continue Reading
