Wallbanger by Alice Clayton November 27, 2012 Contemporary Romance Omnific Publishing Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “So I told the guy, there is no way I’m organizing your ‘play room’. You can arrange your own riding crops!” When Caroline Reynolds agrees to sublet her bosses apartment, she has no idea of the antics her next door neighbor is involved in. Simon Parker is not a “relationship” kind of guy, evident by the harem of women he’s involved with. When Simon’s late night Continue Reading
Review: Nightingale by Jennifer Estep
Nightingale by Jennifer Estep (Bigtime #4) Released: July 12, 2012 Superhero Romance Self Published Reviewed by May Abby Alexandra Appleby was nothing if not persistent.

Smexy’s Top Ten Reasons to be Thankful…
I am thankful for: 10. All of the authors that write the books we crave, obsesses and cry over. 9. The cover artists who give us naked man titty. 8. Friends (friends, online friends, sometimes strangers) who send me dirty, dirty pictures and links. Friends who keep me updated on the status of Pitbull’s package, or Jon Hamm’s lack of underwear, or who send me lyrics to Kenny Rogers songs. <3! 7. My twitter friends who make me laugh every. Single. Day. And who make me buy books Continue Reading
Review: All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey
All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey (Kowalski Family #5) Contemporary Romance Released: November 12, 2012 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Coffee?” Lauren pressed a hand to her stomach, cursing the butterflies. “I think I’ll have decaf.” “They have that effect on women.” “Coffees?” “Kowalskis.” Why does Shannon Stacey write such adorable books? Her Kowalski series has quickly gone to one of my most anticipated series. In this book we get a hero who was so Continue Reading
Review: How Beauty Met the Beast by Jax Garren
How Beauty Met the Beast by Jax Garren (Tales of the Underlight #1) Paranormal Romantic Suspense Released: November 19, 2012 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I’m a sucker for a beauty and the beast trope.

He was the only person to survive that explosion, and later gets blamed for it. He deserts and ends up in a place called the Underlight, Continue Reading
Review: Let it Snow by Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque
Let it Snow by Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque Contemporary Romance (except for the alien prince part) Released: November 13, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by May I wanted to love this book going in - in fact I was expecting to! Unfortunately, whether I look at these stories individually or together, I can’t recommend this book. Neither story captured my fancy, and if it is wonderful Christmas inspired romance you want, you won’t find it here. The key problem I believe, is that the Continue Reading
Review: Getting Hotter by Elle Kennedy
Getting Hotter by Elle Kennedy (Out of Uniform #8) Released: November 20, 2012 Erotic Contemporary Romance Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year, I read my first Elle Kennedy book, Feeling Hot and immediately purchased her back list and read all of her Out of Uniform series. I adore this author’s voice. She writes such sexy, sexy heroes who are all Navy SEALs. Hello!. Very alpha and cocky, but she pairs them up with women that know how to handle them. They also have Continue Reading
