Smexy’s Top Ten Reasons to Lust over Hopper Kincaid
Earlier this month, Tori reviewed Fire Inside by Kristen Ashley. Now it’s my turn to talk about the book. And in true Smexy style, I have gathered all the quotes that made me fall in love with Hop and Lanie… 10. Hop is moved when a classy lady comes onto him. The news that this woman, this crazy gorgeous woman and all that she was hadn’t had a man between her legs in fucking years moved him even as it troubled him. “Lanie, honey,” he muttered, not having the first fucking clue what else to Continue Reading
Review: Sole Support by Kaje Harper
Sole Support by Kaje Harper M/M Romance June 4, 2013 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Mike is 37 and a virgin. He has never even kissed anyone (you all know this excites me, yes?).

Shut Up and Read This Book!
By May. Book recommendations are a funny thing, as you can’t always guess what a person will love or what detail they might find so off-putting that they end up hating the book and possibly questioning your judgment. It’s hard to say what might work for someone, even if they are your friend and you know what they generally like. That said, I’ve been given a lot of recommendations over the years, a few of them strong/demanding enough that I actually felt I was instructed I must read! Now, Continue Reading
