Smexy’s Top Ten–March 29th
10. Today I turn 35 years old. I’m officially in my mid 30’s. Excuse me a moment while I drink directly from the spout on my wine box to deal with this. Ok, I’m back. Where was I? Oh right. I’m 35 now. Are 35 year olds allowed to say the words Peen and Moobs? I mean – at 34, sure. I was cocky at 34. (hehe – I said cocky). I wore jeans with sparkles on my butt and drank cute cocktails. But now I’m 35. When I was 34, I shared an intimate moment with Brandon Flowers (from The Killers, my absolute Continue Reading

Please note!! There are spoilers below. If you do not want to be spoiled, I wrote a spoiler-free review of Lover at Last for USA Today. JR Ward has been torturing us for years with Blay and Qhuinn. While this is my favorite series, I also tend to not love and squee over every book. Ward tends to have 1,245 different storylines and POVs in each book, sometimes distracting away from the main H/H. However – while yes we get lots of different side stories, I was very happy with Blay and Continue Reading

No wonder he got so sick of the world. “I’m only merciful to one person a day,” he threw over his shoulder. “As the saying goes, today isn’t your day and tomorrow doesn’t look good, Continue Reading
