Authors, Please Share Your Intentions
What are your intentions? By May. Recently I read a short story that I quite enjoyed, and when I went to the author’s website to find out if there would be more (it was an Urban Fantasy type world), what her plans were, and if I could expect another installment soon I found nothing. No information at all other than the fact that the book in my hands was coming out. This got me thinking (and ranting to fellow Smexy reviewer Tori) about author intentions and I wanted to write up my thoughts on Continue Reading

Review: Assassin’s Gambit by Amy Raby
Assassin’s Gambit by Amy Raby (Hearts and Thrones #1) Fantasy Romance April 2, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi This book caught my eye because I love an assassin heroine. A couple of my favorites being Gin from Jennifer Estep’s Elemental Assassin series and Shadow Kin by MJ Scott. The description of the heroine in the blurb sounds pretty awesome: Vitala Salonius, champion of the warlike game of Caturanga, is as deadly as she is beautiful. She’s a trained assassin for the Continue Reading

May’s Top 12 of 2012
Oh how to choose the best books I read this year? I’ve decided to get tough, and I am sharing with you today only twelve books I adored in 2012. These are personal favorites, those that stood out above the crowd. I’m sorry to say some favorite authors of mine didn’t make the list this year (better luck next year, ladies!) and yes, many of my favorites you’re likely to see on other smexy lists this year. Without further ado, here are twelve books I give my hearty stamp of approval and highest Continue Reading
Tori’s Favorite Books of 2012
Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a body part I can’t live without. I need them all to survive. 2012 was a fabulous and turbulent year for bibliophiles and bookworms alike. We watched normally sane authors engage in dubious behavior, we saw FanFic hit the NY best sellers list, and we watched a few new genres appear while old favorites take a turn for the worse. I read over 500 books this year and found myself extremely hard pressed to pick just a few to share as my favorites. As you Continue Reading
