Guest Author Bronwen Evans and Giveaway
Romance differences, they make the reading world go round. Hi Mandi – waving from New Zealand, where it’s getting pretty cold! It’s the start of winter here, and I’m snuggling up near the fire with loads of romance books. Thanks for letting me stop by Smexy Books as part of my Invitation to Romance Blog Tour. It’s a thrill to get to be a guest at Smexy Books. I’m half way through my tour and its fun seeing the familiar names in the comments box at each stop. For those of you who haven’t Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
The heroes: Thor, Odin and Zeus. Bank Robbers. Verra sexy. Enjoy telling their women what to do. The heroine: Melinda aka Isis. Sheep farmer turned hostage. She finds her kidnappers extremely sexy. “That’s enough of the talk.” He led me over to the main seating arrangement, velvet couches and a couple giant chairs, then threw himself into a couch. “Begin.” Odin sauntered over with his glass, leaned his elbows on the back of the couch, looming behind Thor. I felt so stupid standing Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–May 25th
10. Thor with his naughty brother and big hammer are joining us for the Top Ten today. Thanks Bells 9. I am on full-time JR Ward stalking. She announced early this week that she has a cover and title for Qhuy’s book (out spring 2013) and that she will be posting it to her Facebook Page “soon.” How dare she tease us like that?! What color will the cover be? There has to be two men on there, right? What will the title be? Lover of All Peens? Lover Bend Over? No? P.S.There Continue Reading
Review: A Blood Seduction by Pamela Palmer
A Blood Seduction by Pamela Palmer (Vamp City #1) May 29, 2012 Urban Fantasy Avon Reviewed by Mandi A Blood Seduction kicks off Pamela Palmer’s urban fantasy Vamp City series. For whatever reason, I assumed this was a standard paranormal romance with a HEA at the end. I feel the blurb is very misleading. It makes it sound romantic and this is not a romantic book. So with about 10% left in this book, as I was continuously frustrated with the romance, I realized, ah! This is an Continue Reading

Interview with Karen Hawkins
We are happy to have Karen Hawkins with us today, to celebrate her latest release, The Taming of the Scottish Princess. The opening scene of this book (The Taming of a Scottish Princess) did such an amazing job of setting up both our story, and perfectly showing us Jane and Michael on the cusp of a new romance. Between her practical gown that was unsuitable for the occasion and his whistling at her so she didn’t have to wonder where he was – I was hooked from the start. What was your Continue Reading
Review: The Taming of a Scottish Princess by Karen Hawkins
The Taming of a Scottish Princess by Karen Hawkins (Hurst Amulet #4) Historical Romance May 22, 2012 Pocket Reviewed by May Favorite quote: Jane’s brown eyes shimmered with mockery as she met his gaze. “I’m so disappointed not to meet the duke, but you know how it is.” “Fainthearted twit.” “Cravated grump.” “Saucy, foul wench.” “Ham-fisted curmudgeon.” “Shrill shrew—“ “Please!” Mary interjected. “Both of you!” Michael kept his gaze locked on Continue Reading
Review: Succubi Are Forever by Jill Myles
Succubi are Forever by Jill Myles (Succubus Diaries #4) Paranormal Romance April 20, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi When I read book one, I honestly didn’t like Jackie, the heroine very much. However, I stuck with this series, and she has grown on me immensely. This book wraps up her story, although I really hope Jill Myles revisits this world. It is sexy and so much fun. If you are not current with this series, there are spoilers for previous books ahead. Jackie and Zane are Continue Reading
