This was my year of the erotic contemporary. I fell in love with some new authors (hello Tiffany Reisz). I fell in love with some new pen names (hello Kit Rocha). I fell in love with already established authors who for some reason I had never read (hello Megan Hart). And I continued my love affair with Ty and Zane (hello Abigail Roux). So let’s get to it, shall we? The Siren and The Angel by Tiffany Reisz. This series pushes my boundaries. I think this author has done a fabulous job Continue Reading

To Be Read–February
A few titles I’m looking forward to coming up in February. You can check out my previous January post as well. Winterblaze by Kristen Callihan – February 26.

Very excited for book three in this series. Each book has a new HEA, but I recommend starting from the beginning. Goodreads l Kindle Lord of Darkness Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–June 15th
10. I’m not going to fill up today’s top ten with Magic Mike pictures again. I swear. *shifty eyes* Of course, that means you miss the red band trailer where you see Channing’s butt. Or this picture of Channing’s butt. Or this one of Matt Bomer’s butt. Or these butts. I COULD DO A TOP TEN OF JUST BUTTS! But let’s keep it classy, folks. 9. I love Charlotte Stein’s voice. She wrote Sheltered, which is a contemporary I highly recommend. And Control, which is an erotic Continue Reading

Tori’s Favorite Books of 2011
2011 has been a big year for my library. I was introduced to new authors, became reacquainted with old authors, and even had a few break ups. I wish I could list every book I’ve read this year in here because there were hundreds that were wonderful. As usual, I went a little overboard on my list. I hope you enjoy. :) Immortal Rider (Lords of Deliverance, #2) by Larissa Ione (Review) The second installment of the Ione’s sexy, funny, action packed Lord Of Deliverance series takes us for quite Continue Reading
Review: Agony/Ecstasy Anthology
Review: Agony/Ecstasy Anthology December 6, 2011 Erotic Berkley Trade Reviewed by Mandi The Agony/Ecstasy anthology is made up of “11 stories of agonizing pleasure and 10 stories of exquisite pain.” I was hesitant to read this, because I’m not huge on anthologies to begin with and I thought 21 very short stories would not be for me. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. Many are edgy and all are erotic. I decided to give my brief thoughts on each one. On the Continue Reading
Mandi and Tori’s Top 20 Books for 2010
Mandi’s Top 20 30 books for 2010 I am listing them in order that I read them this year. Okay, so I told Tori to name her top 20 and then cheated and included 30 instead of 20. I couldn’t cut any. *clings to list* Some are 2009 releases that I read this year, some I’ve grouped into series because multiple books in one series were released this year. Here we go! Lead Me On by Victoria Dahl – Chase is one of the HOTTEST heroes I have read this year and I love Victoria Dahl’s style. Elemental Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–December 16th
10. My week – It’s cold here y’all. I mean, Maryland gets cold weather, but it hasn’t reached 30 degrees all week. And the wind, oh the wind. I told Tori I’m moving south to her house – she better be ready! 9. This week I saw Kati, from Katidom tweeting about how much she loved Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun. She then posted her review, which sealed the deal for me. I bought it and started it right away – I have no control! Hands down, this is the BEST erotic I have read this year Continue Reading
