Guest Author Jennifer Armentrout and Giveaway
We are happy to have Jennifer Armentrout at Smexy today to celebrate her release of her new book, Obsidian. Take it away, Jennifer! If you’ve read Half-Blood or Obsidian, it’s pretty obvious I’m big on the romance. I don’t think I could write a book that didn’t have a decent amount of love fest going on. Romance is always integral to whatever book I’m writing, and I think one of the reason why I love writing it so much is because I LOVE reading it. Especially in young adult books. That Continue Reading

Mini Reviews From Jill
Occasional guest reviewer Jill Sorenson is back with some mini reviews for us. Hi Smexy! Thanks for having me back. I thought I’d do a quick wrap-up of some of the f/f and f/f/m stories I’ve read this year. Forbidden by Em Petrova: I requested this anthology on NetGalley because it had an f/f story. Noelle, the heroine, goes to an all-girl party with a murder/mystery theme. There are clues--and scantily clad ladies involved in shocking sex acts--around every corner. Noelle finds Continue Reading

While it was clear early on that there was some question about Ami and what, exactly, she is-I’m happy to report that it is Continue Reading
