Contemporary: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert - cinnamon roll heroes were what got me through 2020 and very few authors do it as well as Talia Hibbert. When security guard Zafir Ansari's rescue of PhD candidate Dani Brown during a fire drill gone wrong goes viral (#DrRugbae 4ever), the two decide to fake a public relationship for the sake of Zaf's kids' charity with a side order of sexy times in private.

Smexy’s March TBR
Angela- Remember last month when I said I had a gazillion books to read this month? I was totally serious. For some reason a crap ton of great books release every March (which also happens to be my birthday month) and every March I overload myself on ARCs I simply must have. Here are just a few of the books I'm most anticipating this month. House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Mass 3/3 Fantasy- As soon as I found out this author was releasing a book in a new series I had to Continue Reading

Guest Post: Lucy Parker’s TBR
Lucy's last TBR post with us did so well, we invited her back to talk about her 2020 TBR. Lucy's new book Headliners releases next week. I've already read it and it was delightful and you should definitely add it to your TBR. I’m personally confused as to how it’s already 2020 at all, but despite the fact that 2019 disappeared in the blink of an eye, it brought some incredible books, and I’m so excited for what new additions I’ll have this year for my keeper shelf and my much-cherished Continue Reading
Smexy’s November TBR
Angela- November is when I try to begin to close out my reading year, wrap up any ARC reviews I missed in the last few months AND finally get to all those books in my TBR stack that I've been eyeing all year. This month has quite a few great releases that I'm looking forward to and I'm also planning to sneak in some books that I've had on my Kindle for awhile. Slaying Monsters for the Feeble (The Guild Codex: Demonized Book 2) by Annette Marie 11/1- I've enjoyed this author since stumbling Continue Reading

Fall by Kristen Callihan- This was one of my favorite reads from last year. he first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways. In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip. Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. Continue Reading
A Note From Mandi
*waves* It's been a hot minute since I've posted! I'm still alive! I'm still reading! I'm just not blogging at the moment. A few factors have played a part. In two months, Smexy turns ten years old. Holy crap! When I started this blog, my youngest son was three and I always thought, the older my kids get, the more time I will have to do stuff! While I'm done bathing them and putting them to bed, teenagers present a host of new problems LOL. Y'all - I'm tired! And honestly, burnt out from Continue Reading
