Smexy’s Top Ten – December 11th
10. I'm getting y'all in the holiday spirit!! 9. Are we desperate enough to hang booze from our tree? I'm not quite there yet - but give me another week. 8. I'm not done this book yet - but I can 100% recommend it to you guys. Tori also loved it (she is the one who rec'd it to me). The Harder You Fall by Gena Showalter (I think my first Showalter book - ever - I know, I know). It's so sexy. It's funny. The sexual tension is through the roof. The heroine is a nut and I Continue Reading

Review: Dirty Deeds by Megan Erickson
Dirty Deeds by Megan Erickson (Mechanics of Love #3) Released: December 8, 2015 Contemporary Romance Avon Impulse Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "I was about to take off my dress."

Review: Crashed Out by Tessa Bailey
Crashed Out by Tessa Bailey (Made in Jersey #1) Released: December 7, 2015 Contemporary Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi I like the premise of this book but the execution didn't work so well for me.

As a teen, he would use any excuse to be in the same room with her. She would ruffle his hair and be on her way, and Sarge's teenage hormones could Continue Reading
