Top Ten Reasons to read Leave Me Breathless by Cherrie Lynn
A few days ago, I saw Kati tweet something about a tattooed hero, and immediately had to click the link to see what she was talking about. The link took me to the Leave Me Breathless by Cherrie Lynn Goodreads page. I had never heard of Cherrie Lynn before (you all have failed me!) but saw this book already had a ton of very positive reviews. So I one-clicked it, and ended up really enjoying this one. The hero, Seth “Ghost” Warren is a tattoo artist, with a shaved head and a pierced peen. Do I Continue Reading
Interview with Jill Shalvis
I’m so happy to have Jill Shalvis visiting Smexy today to talk about her latest release, Rescue My Heart! Who is Jill Shalvis? Give us the low down. Jill Shalvis is a cookie loving, potato chip ‘ho who is a bit of an I Love Lucy city girl now slightly misplaced in the wild Sierras. Look at me talk about myself in the third person. Bottom line, I am a big reader, get a kick out of attempting to be athletic (lone bookworm in a very athletic family) and love my job. The third book in your Continue Reading
Review: Rescue My Heart by Jill Shalvis
Rescue My Heart by Jill Shalvis (Animal Magnetism #3) Contemporary Romance Released: November 6, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoy Jill Shalvis’s voice and her Lucky Harbor series is one of my favorite contemporary series. The first two in this Animal series were okay but lacked a little something. But Rescue My Heart really delivers with a broody hero and a heroine who is almost as stubborn as he is. Adam was the bad boy growing up. Having a rough childhood, his Continue Reading

Review: Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson
Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson (Neighbors From Hell #3) Contemporary Romance Released: October 29, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Oh my God!” a woman whispered loudly. “They’re going to do it on the front lawn!” This past summer I read my first RL Mathewson book, Playing for Keeps. (and for $.99 it’s so worth it). I was on an airplane when I started it, and I was laughing so loud I had to keep putting my hand over my mouth so I didn’t disturb the Continue Reading

Series: Know When to Walk Away, Know When to Run
By May. Just a few nights ago I sat down to order the Tara Janzen “Steele Street” series as a gift. If you’re not familiar with it – it’s a very sexy, fun, over the top romantic suspense series that has plenty of black ops, twists, intrigue, hot cars, and smexy time. Anyhow, as I went to order I realized that there are eleven books in the series. This made me frown, because I can only recall about five or six that I read and loved. Which leaves about half the series that I definitely Continue Reading
