Smexy’s Top Ten – January 15th
10. It really does. Link. 9. Alan Rickman passed away. I can't deal with it. I can't. I loved him in many roles but Colonel Brandon will always be my one true love. For those that adore Alan Rickman, you should read The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker by Leanna Renee Heiber. The hero is a dedication to Alan Rickman, and it's fabulous. 8. The cast of Friends is reuniting - kinda, sorta. A two-hour special will air February 21 to honor Dave Burrows who Continue Reading
Review: Sated by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Sated by Rebekah Weatherspoon BDSM Released: April 28, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I saw Courtney Milan tweet positively about Sated, and she linked to a B+ review over at Smart Bitches. I'm not super into BDSM, although I've read my fair share of it. This one intrigued me because I saw the hero and heroine were more on the geeky side so I decided to try it. I read it in one sitting and had a smile on my face. Keira has had bad luck in the dating department. She is super Continue Reading

Review: One Love: A Multicultural Boxed Set
One Love: A Multicultural Romance Boxed Set by Roxie Rivera, Farrah Rochon, Liliana Lee, Jill Sorenson, Genevieve Turner and Audra North Released: January 14, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce I’m not much for anthologies, but the title intrigued me and as I’d had a lot of luck recently reading new authors an anthology is a great way to sample someone new. I am also a huge fan of Jill Sorenson and I’d just read a book by Audra North and looked forward to seeing something else Continue Reading

Review: Crazed by Edie Harris
Crazed by Edie Harris (Blood Money #3) Romantic Suspense Released: January 11, 2016 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi To recap this series. I loved, loved, loved book one, Blamed. I excitedly read book two, Ripped, but I had problems with it. I think the biggest thing is that I had the hero built up in my head based on book one, and he didn't live up to my expectations. But I went into book three, Crazed, with more of a blank slate and I really enjoyed this one. The Faraday family is a Continue Reading
Review: Giving It Up by Audra North
Giving It Up by Audra North (Pushing The Boundaries #1) Contemporary Romance January 12, 2016 Samhain Reviewed by Helyce If Beatrice Lawrence didn't know better, she'd swear the universe is out to make sure she is totally, completely screwed. It's not enough her family's restrictive rules drove her away from home at a young age. She had to go and fall for a guy whose mere presence heats her body like Death Valley. Except he seems to harbor a special brand of dislike, just for her. He even Continue Reading
