Welcome back to Smexybooks as we Countdown to 40 with a re read of Innocent in Death, #24 with my thoughts on pivotal scenes in the book. On Tuesday we discussed Part One-the moment from when Eve first meets Magdalena Percell and realizes that this old flame of Roarke’s meant more than he is letting on. Today we are discussing Part Two-Summerset and his ever changing role in Eve’s life. Part Two: Summerset and Eve “She’s a dangerous woman, Lieutenant.” “In what way?” “She Continue Reading

Review: Edged Blade by JC Daniels
Edged Blade by JC Daniels (Colbana Files #4) Urban Fantasy Released: February 3, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by May I’d dealt with more abuse in my life than most people had ever heard of – I’d come to grips with what my family had done and generally dealt with it in odd ways.

Kit Colbana is Continue Reading
Guest Author J.C. Daniels and Giveaway
J.C. Daniels (aka Shiloh Walker) is stopping by Smexy today to talk about her latest release, Edged Blade and what it's like to pick a title for the next book. Later today, May will have her review. If my brain cooperates—and if Kit does—I think there will be three more books after EDGED BLADE. I think I know what the titles will be for books 6 & 7, I think. I think. Book 5 is bothering me. It’s all about secrets and stealth and for the past few days I’ve been playing name games Continue Reading

Guest Post: Victoria Dahl Celebrates Galentine’s Day
