Happy Hump Day! This weeks Wistful/Wanton quotes are both from Chantal Fernando's Ace of Hearts. Ace of Hearts is book one in her new Cursed Raven's MC (motorcycle club) series. I am a huge fan of her earlier Wind Dragons MC club series and had to add this to my reading list ASAP! While I didn't find myself as addicted to these guys as the Wind Dragon Bikers (seriously, love! Book 1, Dragon's Lair is one of my most enjoyed biker club novels ever). The Cursed Ravens have a princess and Continue Reading
Sheena’s Smexy Snapshot – Runaway Heiress by Syrie James
Runaway Heiress by Syrie James Historical Romance Grade: B+ Runaway Heiress was the quintessential historical novel! I love, love historical romances, and this one was a joy to get lost in. Undercover Heiress/Heir mixed with Heroine as Governess to Heroes children/charges tropes are once that I've come to truly enjoy. I get a kick out of watching people fall in love without care of finances or societal status. And the drama from the fallout of when their true backgrounds are revealed are Continue Reading
Review: Trouble In Cowboy Boots by Desiree Holt
Trouble in Cowboy Boots by Desiree Holt Series: Sequins, Saddles and Spurs, #1 Contemporary Romance (Originally published in 2010 - reedited and revised) Was he going to do it tonight?

Adult, erotica, contemporary, light BDSM romance. Stranded in Mesa Blanco, Texas, with no money and no Continue Reading
Review: Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
Ocean Light by Nalini Singh The Trinity #2, Psy-Changeling #17 PNR Berkley June 12, 2018 Favorite Quote: They might only have a fragment of an instant in time, but he’d make that fragment extraordinary. Ocean Light is Bowen Knight's story; the leader of the Human Alliance and one of the leaders in the Trinity Accord. Fans have been expecting his story, straddling the fence and withholding our forgiveness over his past deeds. Bowen had an experimental chip put in that blocks the Psy's Continue Reading

SmexyBooks is so happy to welcome author Minerva Spencer to the blog. WELCOME MINERVA!! Minerva Spencer's debut historical romance, Dangerous, releases June 26, 2018. My Journey Down Romance Road . . . I read my first romance novel—THE DEVIL ON HORSEBACK, by Victoria Holt—in seventh grade.

Mandi’s Monday Musings – More Than You by Mia Sheridan and Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn
More Than Words by Mia Sheridan Releases: June 12, 2018 Contemporary Romance Most of All You, Sheridan's book published last year, is a favorite of mine. It made me feel all the feels. More Than Words was greatly anticipated, but it misses the mark. We meet Jessica and Callen as teenagers, they randomly meet one day at an abandoned train car, as they are both looking for escapism. Jessica's dad is a serial cheater and her mom falls apart each time. Callen's dad verbally abuses and shames Continue Reading

Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield Released: June 11, 2018 Erotic Romance Self Publishe Reviewed by Mandi I've loved Tessa Bailey since her first book - and I just discovered Eve Dangerfield last year and I really like her voice. So when I saw these two were pairing up to write a book, I squeaked. And when I read this line: "Unzip my pants and greet your new keeper.” I giggled!!! Oh dirty, dirty fun. I love the set-up in this one. Autumn is from Australia and moves to Continue Reading

Hero: Blake. Landlord. Recluse. Hates most people. Heroine: Autumn. Newly single. Fantasizes about her landlord. In this scene, Blake has found Autumn's drawing, that shows her on her knees, in front of him. He starts to fantasize..... Blake’s body didn’t care about the particulars. Not right now. He set the paper down on the edge of the sink and wrapped his fist around his ready cock. Halfway through that first stroke, he noticed Autumn’s hands were tied behind her Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
It's Friday and I stayed up too late watching hockey last night! BUT I finally finished a book!!!! I feel like I deserve a parade. I started The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang last night but had a hard time reading as I was also watching the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup! It is starting out great and I was a bit surprised about how much sex stuff there is so far. I think the cover made me think it was going to be more closed door or at least no body parts mentioned, but I was Continue Reading
