Check out my picks below-in no particular order- primarily because that would be akin to a self-induced aneurysm as Continue Reading
May’s 2014 list of Awesomeness
When I sat down to look at all I’ve read and consider what might make my list this year the contenders were few. What I mean is, I didn’t have to cut anything from my list of favorites or make tough calls because this is THE list of A grade books I read this year. There is no new motorcycle badass, tortured lumberjack, wicked werewolf, and sadly no sigh worthy military hero. These are crimes against romance land, and I won’t have it! I demand some smexy tortured loner mountain man with a Continue Reading
Helyce’s Top Reads of 2014
I can’t believe 2014 is nearing it’s end. Seems like just yesterday I was trying to put together my list for 2013! Once again, I struggled to pull together a listing to publish here. Life, work, my family--made reading time extremely rare this year. While you will see two books that are likely to top many reader lists this year, the rest of my choices were books that spoke to me or touched my heart in some way and gave me all the feeeelz! Here we go in no particular order: Heart by Continue Reading

Tori’s Best Reads for 2014
Per usual, I had a hard time picking out just a few books that blew me away this year. I LOVED THEM ALL!!! Well, most of them. My qualifications for bestest book EVAH isn’t flawless writing, intense subject matter, or where they fall on best selling lists, but rather the emotions they invoke in me while reading and what I’m left feeling when I’m finished. Push by Claire Wallis-A psychological romantic thriller that addresses the long term emotional and mental damage caused by childhood abuse Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – Ho Ho Ho
10. This is our last Top Ten list until 2015! I think. I currently have nothing planned to post on Friday 12/26.

Review: The Lover’s Knot by Erin Satie
The Lover's Knot by Erin Satie (No Better Angels #2) Released: December 2014 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi It's sad to say, but I find it hard to find historical author voices I like these days. I have a small, select few I turn to. This blurb caught my attention though, and I thought what the heck. I knew from about page two this author's voice would appeal to me. It's smart, somber, totally engaged me through every page with great suspense and a lovely Continue Reading
