10. Are you seeing the final Twilight movie? We’ve made each movie into a girl’s night out with a stop at a wine bar before and after to help us make it through the movie *wink* But I don’t know if I can gather the energy for this final one… 9. Linkin Fever, a fan facebook page for Karen Marie Moning books (and the band Linkin Park…hence their name), posted this picture as their vision of Lor (from Iced). WHY HELLO LOR! Come nod at me at Chester’s. Yes. Please. 8. Goodreads have Continue Reading

Review: Exposed to You by Beth Kery
Exposed to You by Beth Kery Released: November 6, 2012 Erotic Contemporary Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I’m a big fan of Beth Kery. She not only gives us some smokin’ hot sex, but a really well done story in this book. Let me also note, while these are all stand alones, she previously published two books, Addicted to You and Bound to You under the pen name Bethany Kane. The hero and heroines from those books are brought in as supporting characters in this book. I highly recommend Continue Reading
Review: Night Whispers by Alisha Rai
Night Whispers by Alisha Rai (ShadowLands #1) Paranormal Romance Released: November 6, 2012 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “And I do know you, love. I know you better than anyone. Maybe even you.” Before I start, let me just say – don’t let the cover fool you. Yes this book has a very kick ass heroine who faces down baddies, but this book has a very sweet, adorable tone to it. I don’t feel like the cover portrays that well. Anyway! I usually shy away from books with Continue Reading

Review: Double Time by Olivia Cunning
Double Time by Olivia Cunning (Sinners on Tour #3) Released: November 6, 2012 M/M/F Erotic Romance Sourcebooks Reviewed by Mandi I didn’t have high expectations coming into this book. Book one, Backstage Pass was fun and really dirty, but the story line was just okay. And then I really didn’t like book two (the hero and I did NOT get along.) But I wanted to give this series one more chance and I’m glad I did. I also want to note that although this is the third book published in this Continue Reading
Guest Author Grace Burrowes
We are happy to have Grace Burrowes at Smexy today to celebrate her release of Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight. The marriage of convenience holds pride of place as one of the most venerable Regency plot devices, and has seen service among paranormal authors, and even some contemporary category writers. I made glancing use of it in Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight, though of course, true love has to go and bollix up that plan by about page 50. Is the marriage of convenience just a pretext to Continue Reading
