DNF Review: My Heartache Cowboy by Z.A. Maxfield
My Heartache Cowboy by ZA Maxfield (The Cowboys #2) Released: January 21, 2014 M/M Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi I DNF’d the first book in this series but I’ve liked this author in the past so I thought I’d give this one a try. This series focuses on gay ranchers and that appeals to me so much! But I’ve come to the conclusion this series is just not for me. I set this book down around the 55% mark and had no desire to pick it back up. The beginning of the book Continue Reading
Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2013
My favorite sexy books of 2013. Explicit naughtiness below. In no particular order… Beyond Control by Kit Rocha – Dallas gives me the naughty shivers. And Lex is awesome. Review l Kindle “Give me this, Lexie.” HIs voice was a coaxing rumble, the gentleness a thin mask over hard command. Each time he rocked into her was a little rougher as his patience unraveled. “Tell me my cock’s the hottest thing I’ve ever fucked you with.” “You know it is.” She barely recognized her own voice, low and Continue Reading
Helyce’s Favorite Books of 2013
The other day I got an email from Goodreads that reported that I had read a whopping 97 books this year. My immediate reaction was, “What? That can’t be right!” And it’s not. Mainly because I fail epically when when it comes to logging in books I’ve read that I didn’t have to review for this blog. Sadly, the real number is only about 110 which is still a bit sad. But that’s what happens when real life steps in. Going back to work has taken a huge chunk out of what was my “reading time”. You Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–November 8th
10. This is happening. I can’t be stopped. 9. Goodreads has announced their nominees for the best books of 2013. You can vote in the many categories here. The Best Romance category includes Lover at Last by JR Ward and then pretty much every New Adult book you can think of. I’m not against the new adult genre, but come on people. No historical books? No adult contemporaries? *frowny face* (I wrote in a vote for Heart of Obsidian by Nalini Singh. Take that Goodreads). I will say the Continue Reading
