“Oh, Alexander,” she said, “what do you want from me….” “Everything!” he whispered fiercely. Ever since I met Kate online, I knew The Bronze Horseman was her absolute favorite book so it has been on my radar for sometime. But I also knew it was 900 pages and set in WWII Russia, a time setting that I didn’t think would interest a me. However a few days ago, Jane tweeted that the book was on sale for $1.99 and she also expressed how much she enjoyed this epic love story. And all of a sudden my Continue Reading
Review: Fall Into You by Roni Loren
Fall Into You by Roni Loren (Loving on the Edge #3) Erotic BDSM December 31, 2012 Berkley Heat Reviewed by Mandi While I’m pretty tired of BDSM club books, I read Roni Loren’s previous book and I liked her voice so I thought I would continue with this one. When I learned that our hero Grant is not only the owner of an exclusive BDSM ranch in Texas and a Dom (and a cowboy!) himself, but also a former CIA operative and a vineyard owner, I said giddy up and let’s get to it. Roni Continue Reading

Review: A Taste of Ice by Hanna Martine
Taste of Ice by Hanna Martine (The Elementals #2) Paranormal Romance December 31, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi These days, I find myself seeking out new contemporary authors or series, but not so much paranormal.

Taste of Ice continues the world where aliens have secretly infiltrated earth, and are warring with each other, unknown to most humans. I believe this Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2012
Nothing better to kick off the new year by revisiting some of my favorite sex scenes of 2012. Apparently, paranormal peen didn’t do it for me this year. (I did think about including Lothaire but I only have it in print and I lent my book to someone so I didn’t have it to copy out a scene. Sadness!) You can revisit Favorite Sex Scenes of 2009 and 2011. (2010 got no love for some reason.) Feeling Hot by Elle Kennedy Review l Kindle When I heard on twitter the words “there is a blow job scene Continue Reading
Review: The Chocolate Kiss by Laura Florand
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

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.

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

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.

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
