Guest Post: Working Class Heroes & Heroines by Vanessa North
Working class heroes, man. I love ’em. Heroines too.

Smexy’s Top Ten – Smexy Turns Six! Feelings and Boners.
I think “Feelings and Boners” should be the new Smexy Books tagline. I tweeted that in regard to a book I was describing on Twitter, and someone said it should be our tagline. It fits, right? We don’t take ourselves all too seriously, but we are passionate about romance books. And feelings. And….boners. We like to have fun. Smexy Books is six years old! Does it feel like it’s been six years? Yes. LOL. What did I do with my life before Smexy Books and Twitter? I really can’t remember. I Continue Reading

Helyce’s Top Reads of 2014
I can’t believe 2014 is nearing it’s end. Seems like just yesterday I was trying to put together my list for 2013! Once again, I struggled to pull together a listing to publish here. Life, work, my family--made reading time extremely rare this year. While you will see two books that are likely to top many reader lists this year, the rest of my choices were books that spoke to me or touched my heart in some way and gave me all the feeeelz! Here we go in no particular order: Heart by Continue Reading
