Semper Fi by Keira Andrews Released: November 11, 2014 M/M Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read a gay Amish romance by Keira Andrews that I enjoyed, so when I heard she had a WW2 historical coming out, I thought I'd give it a try. However, this one didn't quite grab me. This book flips between 1942, when Cal and Jim first meet and train as Marines, to present day in 1948. The flashback eventually lead the two of them to the war and end I think Continue Reading

Review: Rogue Spy by Joanna Bourne
Rogue Spy by Joanna Bourne (Spymasters #5) Historical Romance Released: November 4, 2014 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Before I being gushing, and oh yes there will be gushing, let me note that while this book can be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading The Forbidden Rose and The Black Hawk first. Not only for the world and events, but to build up these characters. Joanna Bourne writes the absolute best characters (the gushing has begun!). All three of these books are just Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – November 14th
10. Your Friday cute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FDTMRK7-24#t=127 9. The new Fifty Shades of Grey trailer released last night. I'm a little more excited about the first one - it was more fun because of all the make-out scenes.

As Smexy is an #OfficialFifty blog, I get fun presents and other stuff (not sure what the Continue Reading

Review: Sleigh Ride by Heidi Cullinan
Sleigh Ride by Heidi Cullinan (Minnesota Christmas #2) M/M Romance November 11, 2014 Samhain Reviewed by Helyce Favorite Quote: “The geek was strong in this one.” From Goodreads: Arthur Anderson doesn’t want anything to do with love and romance, and he certainly doesn’t want to play Santa in his mother’s library fundraising scheme. He knows full well what she really wants is to hook him up with the town’s lanky, prissy librarian. It’s clear Gabriel Higgins doesn’t want him, Continue Reading
