Smexy’s Top Ten–November 16th
10. No Christmas miracles in my house this year. (link) 9. Jeaniene Frost has released the cover for book two in her Night Prince series, Twice Tempted, set to release March 26th. A few notes – she has now said this series will be a trilogy. Also, the next Bones and Cat book, Up From the Grave is coming winter 2013 (hoooooooray). I’m not really a fan of this cover, nor the step back - I mean…come on. But..I did enjoy book one, so I’ll definitely be reading this one. 8. I Continue Reading
Review: One Night with a Hero by Laura Kaye
One Night with a Hero by Laura Kaye (The Hero #2) Released: October 20, 2012 Contemporary Romance Entangled Publishing Reviewed by Mandi This is the first I’ve read by Laura Kaye. I actually almost didn’t pick this one up because the blurb tells of a one night stand that leads to a pregnancy. Not my favorite set-up. But the cover is so hot (I can’t help myself!) I decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did. Brady Scott who is in the Army Special Forces is home on leave. He grew Continue Reading
Review: Enslaved by Elisabeth Naughton
Enslaved by Elisabeth Naughton (Eternal Guardians #5) Paranormal Romance November 6, 2012 Sourcebooks Reviewed by Helyce Though Gryphon was rescued from the underworld, he’s still plagued by the darkness within him. Atalanta’s voice still beckons him, a hated voice inside his head. He can’t forget the brutal torture and rape at the hands of Kronos and Atalanta while he was being held in the underworld. Gryphon knows that his brother, Orpheus, is just trying to help; but it’s the Continue Reading

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
