I absolutely adore Laura Florand’s Amour et Chocolat series. Centered around Parisian chocolatiers, as you read you will feel like you are in Paris and you will crave chocolate like nothing else. They are charming and so sexy. (I gave the Chocolate Kiss an “A” – read my review here) Since today is Bastille Day in France and because Laura’s books take place in Paris, she is celebrating with a big giveaway. Her entire Chocolat series and a very (and I mean very, very) nice set of caramels (she Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–July 12
10. I don’t know about you guys, but I have a Sharknado hangover. One of the cheesiest movies I’ve ever seen, also one of the most epic. I’m not sure I’ve heard my kids laugh quite so hard as they did last night. The best part? (well besides Ian Ziering cutting his way out of a shark with a chainsaw) was watching the movie while watching Twitter. It was an epic Twitter event. I love you Twitter. 9. When I saw She’s Got Dibs by AJ Nuest rec’d over at Fiction Vixen and then saw a rec from Continue Reading

Review: This is W.A.R. by Lisa Roecker and Laura Roecker
This Is W.A.R. by Lisa Roecker and Laura Roecker Mature YA/Mystery July 2, 2012 Soho Teen Reviewed by Tori I have always been fascinated by the Kennedys. America's very own version of the royal family; this family’s legacy has beena study in sorrow and tragedy. This Is W.A.R. reminded me of the Kennedy’s. The Gregory's are an uber rich family whose money and fame rules a tiny exclusive lakeside community with an iron fist and can magically buy away any of their indiscretions. The premise Continue Reading
Interview with Delphine Dryden
Who is Delphine Dryden? Give us the low down. I think too much! And not nearly enough of that thinking is about fun smutty stuff. Former lawyer. Sometime educator. Mother of two. Gamer geek. Bisexual submissive. You know, the usual. Nerd BDSM romance. Those three words excite me greatly, as I feel we don't have enough nerds in the romance genre. Why nerds and why BDSM? Nerd is my default setting, so really the question I often ask myself is how I ever manage to write non-nerd characters. I Continue Reading
Review: The Seduction Hypothesis by Delphine Dryden
The Seduction Hypothesis by Delphine Dryden (The Science of Temptation #2) May 6, 2013 BDSM Nerd Romance (woot!) Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read the first book in this series and liked it but didn’t love it. So I’m happy to report The Seduction Hypothesis is super cute and sexy. With the trope of a ‘Nerd BDSM romance’ it delivers in both the nerd and BDSM aspects. Ben and Lindsey were dating and doing great, but then Ben panicked and got confused and dumped Continue Reading
