Double Time by Olivia Cunning (Sinners on Tour #3) Released: November 6, 2012 M/M/F Erotic Romance Sourcebooks Reviewed by Mandi I didn’t have high expectations coming into this book. Book one, Backstage Pass was fun and really dirty, but the story line was just okay. And then I really didn’t like book two (the hero and I did NOT get along.) But I wanted to give this series one more chance and I’m glad I did. I also want to note that although this is the third book published in this Continue Reading
Guest Author Grace Burrowes
We are happy to have Grace Burrowes at Smexy today to celebrate her release of Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight. The marriage of convenience holds pride of place as one of the most venerable Regency plot devices, and has seen service among paranormal authors, and even some contemporary category writers. I made glancing use of it in Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight, though of course, true love has to go and bollix up that plan by about page 50. Is the marriage of convenience just a pretext to Continue Reading

Review: My Fair Dork by Daisy Harris
My Fair Dork by Daisy Harris (Men of Holsum College #8) M/M Contemporary Romance Released: October 13, 2012 Siren Reviewed by Helyce As we return to Holsum College we meet Harold Jacobs. On the outside, I imagine Harold would be easy to overlook in passing. He’d always been shy and awkward with people and if that wasn’t enough, he’s very uncomfortable with the size of his penis. You see, Harold has been blessed with a very large penis. So much so that he’s embarrassed by it. He fears Continue Reading
Review: Heart of Danger by Lisa Marie Rice
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
