Heart of Danger by Lisa Marie Rice (Ghost Ops #1) Romantic Suspense Releases: November 6, 2012 Avon Reviewed by Mandi Before I get into the review, let me start by saying how crazy and over the top Lisa Marie Rice books can be. I feel like I have to put that warning out there if you are a LMR virgin. The characters are all super intelligent, super stealthy. They have millions of dollars of security and weapons and the most advanced technology ever. And when they fall in love, Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten Reasons to Read Iced by Karen Marie Moning
Note: There are spoilers below!! Lots of spoilers!! You have been warned. Before I get into the list, let me say a few things. First of all, I’m a huge fan of the Fever series and I was desperate to get my hands on this book. For those that are new to this author, I feel the Fever series must be read before you read Iced, as this book builds on previous events. While I was excited for this one, I was also nervous. Dani (the heroine) wasn’t a favorite character of mine in previous books. Being Continue Reading
Guest Author Alexandra Allred
Recently, Tori read and adored Damaged Goods by Alexandra Allred. Today Alexandra is visiting Smexy! My Love of Women In my writings, I have many male characters I love.

When I was on the U.S. women’s bobsled team in the early 90s, we were a team of eight. On paper, we were two married mothers, two Continue Reading

Review: Scorched by Laura Griffin
Scorched by Laura Griffin (Tracers #6) Romantic Suspense Released: October 30, 2012 Pocket Reviewd by Mandi I really love this romantic suspense series by Laura Griffin. I think she does such a great job with not only the suspense part of the story (which usually has me holding my breath) but really well done character development as well. In her latest, she not only gives us a solid suspense story but the hero is a Navy SEAL. Gage Brewer is a SEAL all the way down to his core. Continue Reading
Review: ‘Twas the Night After Christmas by Sabrina Jeffries
‘Twas the Night After Christmas by Sabrina Jeffries (Hellions of Hallstead #6) Historical Romance Released: October 30, 2012 Gallery Books Reviewed by May “What a selfish arse I am,” he muttered. He hadn’t realized he’d said it aloud until she said primly, “Well, I wouldn’t go quite that far.” Glancing over, he noted that the tightness around her mouth had eased. “An oblivious clodpate?” he offered. “Somewhere between arse and clodpate, I should think,” she said with less Continue Reading
