Smexy’s Top Ten – August 21
10. In my newsfeed was an announcement that the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte will release on September 8. I didn't realize this was a thing - people waiting on the release date for this drink. Also announced that this latte will actually contain pumpkin this year.

I Continue Reading

Tori’s Mini Reviews for August
Red Card by Liz Crowe The Blackjack Genlemen, #2 Romance Contemporary/Sports Rating: D I picked up Red Card because I enjoy sports romances and I had seen some good reviews for the first book in the series. Red Card starts off interestingly enough. An international male soccer star falls hard for a semi pro women's soccer player. Insta love prevails and I enjoyed seeing how emotionally vocal the hero was in his feeling for the heroine. However my pleasure soon morphed into horror as I got Continue Reading

Review: Playing For Her Heart by Megan Erickson
Playing For Her Heart by Megan Erickson (Gamers #2) Released: August 11, 2015 Contemporary Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi Megan Erickson's Gamers series is more on the nerdy side, and I like that. They are stand alone reads, although supporting characters show up throughout the series. Grant is an owner of Gamer magazine and in his spare time likes to participate in cosplay - where he dresses as a favorite video game character and goes to Comic-Con. When the book opens, he is Continue Reading
