Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight by Grace Burrowes (Windham #6) Historical Romance Released: October 2, 2012 Sourcebooks Reviewed by May Favorite quote: Patchouli was not a fragrance Louisa cared for. She tried to imagine marital intimacies with a man who wore patchouli and concluded it was fortunate she would not be taking a husband. Lady Louisa is smarter than most men, can do any math problems in her head faster than on paper, and is wonderfully educated in all kinds of languages and Continue Reading

Scroll to message #29. Huge thanks to her for doing this. Highlights include: Ward knows who the Continue Reading
Review: A Season for Sin by Vicky Dreiling
A Season For Sin by Vicky Dreiling Historical Romance, Novella Released: September 4, 2012 Forever Reviewed by May If there was one thing Virginia understood, it was that people, men in particular, always wanted forbidden fruit. And Laura, a respectable lady, represented a challenge. Ah, yes, a very proper widow and a ruthless rake would make a very combustible couple. But oh, what a wonderful way to burn. Laura Davenport (Lady Chesfield) is a respectable widow, raising her late Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–September 28th
10. We are diving right into the Top Ten today with animal cracker naughtiness. I hope you can handle it. Link. 9. Yes, I’m obsessed with this book. So here are more details that I’ve found this week. From RT Magazine: "There are others in the Fever World having the sex Dani's too young for in Iced." (Hooray for this! Is it Christian I wonder? Another of Ryoden and Barrons’ “friends?”) Iced begins a week before Shadowfever ends, with chp 1 opening the morning after Cruce gets iced Continue Reading
Review: Rapture by J.R. Ward
Rapture by J.R. Ward (The Fallen Angels #4) Released: September 25, 2012 Paranormal Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Please Note: The hero of this book has been kept pretty hush hush. If you want to go into the book with a totally clean slate, please don’t read this review. Rapture is book four in JR Ward’s Fallen Angel series. I wasn’t a big fan of the first two, but the last book was an enjoyable read. Rapture falls down the middle. It is an okay book, slow at times, but Continue Reading
Review: Poison Princess by Kresley Cole
Poison Princess (Arcana Chronicles #1) by Kresley Cole YA Paranormal Releases: October 2, 2012 Simon & Schuster Reviewed by Tori Poison Princess is Kresley Cole’s debut into Young Adult. An interesting premise of a world pushed into an apocalypse (referred to as the Flash) and a young girl’s realization that her “hallucinations” are actually visions of the future and she is part of prophecy dating back to the beginning of time. Very Hunger Games oriented, the first chapter opens to Continue Reading

Review: Deep Desires by Charlotte Stein
Deep Desires by Charlotte Stein Erotic Contemporary, Novella Released: September 27, 2012 Harper Collins Reviewed by Mandi I think Charlotte Stein has one of the best voices in erotic romance. I always find her heroines so intriguing, so sexually curious, teasing and flirty, and many times they take the reins and show the hero what can be between them. This book is darker though and I really like it. Abbie works as a grocery store clerk and lives in an apartment building called Continue Reading
