I’ve always loved to read, but it has only been about the last three years where I must admit to it becoming somewhat of an addiction. When I innocently commented to a friend that I had read the Twilight series and really enjoyed it, she said, “Well, if you liked that, you’d probably like some of these.” She proceeded to pull boxes out from storage in her garage and opened them to reveal so many books I was overwhelmed. The first series she gave me was the Argeneau Vampire series by Lynsay Continue Reading

Interview with Tori St. Claire and Giveaway
Very happy to have Tori St. Claire at Smexy Books today. She is celebrating the release of two books, Stripped and Immortal Hope under her pen name Claire Ashgrove. Let’s get to it. Who is Tori St. Claire? Give us the low down. Tori St. Claire -- well, that's me! I'm an author, a mother, a sometimes website designer, and a horse-lover. I have a small farm with way too many animals: horses, dogs, cats, bird, mouse. When I'm not writing (hah!), I really like to cook, Continue Reading
Review: Stripped by Tori St. Claire
Stripped by Tori St. Claire Erotic Romantic Suspense January 3, 2011 Penguin Reviewed by Mandi When Tori St. Claire contacted me to request a review of Stripped, I honestly wasn't sure I wanted to read it. I believe this is the first book for St. Claire, although she also is published under the name Claire Ashgrove. The blurb sounded a little over the top — but I was kind of in the mood for that. And, I have to say, this book turned out to be very good. The actual story is maybe not Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Please Note: This post is more explicit than the normal posts here at Smexy. No contest in this week’s favorite sex scene..the hard part was figuring out which of the many smexy scenes in this book to include. So I’ll tease with the start of the very first scene…. “But it is a long ride. I don’t want you to get bored and change your mind. Unzip.” “What?” But his hand was already on his zipper. “Open your pants and take out your cock.” Quinn accelerated up the ramp to the Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–January 6th
10. It’s a new year! Anyone make any resolutions? I think the only resolution I made last year was to have sex with Barrons. Oddly enough, that didn’t come true. Should I continue to wait? 9. Speaking of Barrons, Karen Marie Moning has said she will begin posting teasers for ICED, the first book in her new series featuring Dani, on her Facebook page starting January 17th. (Instead of her newsletters as she did with the Fever series). Last week on Facebook, she also posted a quote from Adam Continue Reading
