How great it it that it is the first week of May, and I (May) am in charge of the top 10? This week I'm taking over to make sure this week we have nothing but pure classiness and grace while Mandi is away working really hard at RT2013. We'll look at really great educational stuff. Tori sent me this link to a video of a very wholesome family at a drive-through zoo. That's the kind of high quality content I'm talking about. You know I always keep it clean.... 10. Wait, did I say Continue Reading
Retro Reads: Jude’s Law by Lori Foster
Tori: May recently messaged me that she had a lighthearted funny romance contemporary that she thought I would like. Both of us have a fondness for funny romantic contemporaries. A story with a viable sweet romance that isn’t inundated with overblown angst and a dark emotional quagmire that can and often does leave you drained for days after reading. Not to say there isn’t anything wrong with those kinds of stories but after awhile, you need something cheery. After reading the romance she Continue Reading

Authors, Please Share Your Intentions
What are your intentions? By May. Recently I read a short story that I quite enjoyed, and when I went to the author’s website to find out if there would be more (it was an Urban Fantasy type world), what her plans were, and if I could expect another installment soon I found nothing. No information at all other than the fact that the book in my hands was coming out. This got me thinking (and ranting to fellow Smexy reviewer Tori) about author intentions and I wanted to write up my thoughts on Continue Reading

Review: Breathing His Air by Debra Kayn
Breathing His Air by Debra Kayn April 22, 2013 Contemporary Romance Crimson Romance Reviewed by Mandi I love motorcycle club books. I can’t help it. I love it when the hero is all bossy. I love the motorcycle club culture. The politics, the aggression, the overly alpha men. I want to be someone’s “sweet butt.” What? So when this review request came my way I gobbled it up. Overall I liked this one, although I did have some frustrations along the way. Let me set it up. Tori Continue Reading
