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. I'm more excited to just have a girls night out and have some drinks and be giggly throughout the movie. Speaking of Fifty Shades of Grey.... 8. 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

Review: Not Until You by Roni Loren
Review: Not Until You (A Loving You on the Edge Novel) by Roni Loren Released: November 4, 2014 Erotic Romance/BDSM Berkley Trade Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "Right. Yes. You're the Big Bad Wolf, and I'm innocent Little Red Riding Hood. Got it. Let me go find my freaking picnic basket." Roni Loren is a new-to-me author. I didn't know what to expect and I went into this novel expecting a sexy little romp and enough "dark, dominant alpha dude awakens sexuality of wide eyed Continue Reading
Review: Off the Map by Tamara Morgan
Off the Map by Tamara Morgan (Winter Rescue #2) Released: November 6, 2014 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This book starts with Scott and Carrie recently broken up. They have that, "I hate you but I still lust after you and I secretly probably love you but let's focus on the hate right now" vibe going on, and the author makes it really cute.

Review: Intrusion by Charlotte Stein
Intrusion by Charlotte Stein (Under the Skin #1) Released: November 4, 2014 Erotic Contemporary Avon Reviewed by Mandi In my opinion, Charlotte Stein is the queen of the awkward erotic romance story. She loves pitting two very awkward people together, who clumsily find their way to climax (and love) with each other. Intrusion is no different, but it has a definite dark twist to it. Beth lives next door to an extremely recluse man. When her dog goes missing, she gets up the courage to Continue Reading
