Guest Author Katie Reus and Giveaway
Why I Love Romance Thanks so much to Mandi for having me as a guest at Smexy Books! This month Deadly Obsession released from Carina Press so in celebration I’m on a short blog tour discussing all things romance! I read romance for so many different reasons. Almost always for the happily ever after (I’m not a fan of happy for now, I want the juicy emotional ending that promises of HEA…though there are exceptions), but I find myself reading specific authors for specific reasons. When I’m Continue Reading

Review: The Yearning by Tina Donahue
The Yearning by Tina Donahue December 14, 2010 Erotic Paranormal Romance E-Book Samhain Reviewed by Mandi This is one crazy book. The beginning made my eyeballs pop out of my head. The middle is written pretty well, and the end was kind of a let down. I’m not even sure why I continued past the 25% mark, except for the fact that the first epic sex scene in this book is so off the wall, crazy that it amused me. (It definitely didn’t make me lust after any of the Continue Reading
