The Chocolate Kiss by Laura Florand (Chocolate #2) December 24, 2012 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi Adorable, charming, whimsical. These are the words that first came to mind when I finished this book. I read it in one sitting and was completely immersed in the world. I felt like I was in Paris, in a tiny chocolate shop. That I could almost smell the hot chocolate and see the adorable chocolate window displays the author so meticulously and wonderfully details Continue Reading
Guest Author A.M. Arthur
Earlier today Tori reviewed the January 1st release, Color of Grace by A.M. Arthur. We are happy to have A.M. here today to talk about her inspiration for her book. A GUY FALLS IN A HOLE….. As the Christmas holiday season draws to a close, it's time to turn our eye to the coming New Year and all of the promise it brings. We've stuffed ourselves on turkey and cookies and pies, and because of that many of us will make resolutions to lose ten pounds. Or to be nicer. Or to write that book Continue Reading
Review: Color of Grace by A.M. Arthur
Color Of Grace (Cost Of Repairs #2) by A.M. Arthur M/M Romance January 1, 2013 Samhain Publishing, LTD Favorite Quote: “I’ve got you.” “I know.” Barrett McCall’s quiet solitary life is a life saving choice. A once repetitive lifestyle almost sent him spiraling into a deep abyss with no way out. It wasn’t until a life shattering incident makes him stand up and take a good look at his life and the choices he was making, does he decide that changes are needed. He moves to Straton, Pa, Continue Reading
May’s Top 12 of 2012
Oh how to choose the best books I read this year? I’ve decided to get tough, and I am sharing with you today only twelve books I adored in 2012. These are personal favorites, those that stood out above the crowd. I’m sorry to say some favorite authors of mine didn’t make the list this year (better luck next year, ladies!) and yes, many of my favorites you’re likely to see on other smexy lists this year. Without further ado, here are twelve books I give my hearty stamp of approval and highest Continue Reading
Helyce’s Favorite Books of 2012
About a week ago, I sat down to make a list of the books I considered stand out reads in 2012. I reviewed my posts on Smexy Books, then I looked on my Goodreads shelves, and then I flipped through my Kindle and my Nook to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. When I finally sat back and looked at what I had written down, I was a bit stumped as I looked at my very sad, very short list. Here I’d been worried I’d have to edit and delete from my “to long” list and well, yea…not so much. I then had to Continue Reading
Mandi’s Favorite Books of 2012
This was my year of the erotic contemporary. I fell in love with some new authors (hello Tiffany Reisz). I fell in love with some new pen names (hello Kit Rocha). I fell in love with already established authors who for some reason I had never read (hello Megan Hart). And I continued my love affair with Ty and Zane (hello Abigail Roux). So let’s get to it, shall we? The Siren and The Angel by Tiffany Reisz. This series pushes my boundaries. I think this author has done a fabulous job Continue Reading
Tori’s Favorite Books of 2012
Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a body part I can’t live without. I need them all to survive. 2012 was a fabulous and turbulent year for bibliophiles and bookworms alike. We watched normally sane authors engage in dubious behavior, we saw FanFic hit the NY best sellers list, and we watched a few new genres appear while old favorites take a turn for the worse. I read over 500 books this year and found myself extremely hard pressed to pick just a few to share as my favorites. As you Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten Favorite Heroes for 2012
Next week we’ll be bringing you our favorite books of 2012 and on New Years day I’ll be posting my favorite Sex Scenes of 2012. (That’s a good way to ring in the new year, yes?) But today, let’s talk about the men of 2012. The men who wooed us, who flaunted their hard abs and big bulges, who whispered dirty things in our ears. Tack (Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley). Tack goes from the most arrogant, obnoxious ‘alpha-hole’ to the most lovable (still arrogant) alpha hero that is out there. I. Continue Reading
