10. After months of our toilets gurgling every time they are flushed, we decided we might have a septic problem. And we are talking big time gurgling – I mean those suckers were angry. So now we need an entire new drywell. Awesome. I can’t wait for my back yard to be dug up and spend a ton of money on..septic. Who wants to spend money on septic? *cries* You are also probably asking, who wants to TALK about my septic problems on top ten? Not, sexy huh? Unless there is a romance writer who wants Continue Reading

Guest Author: Amanda Bonilla and Giveaway
I’d like to start by thanking Smexy books for having me as a guest today! I have to admit, I spend a fair amount of time lurking around this blog. Okay, a LOT of time. ‘Nuff said. ;) I write alpha females. I can’t really help it. Not that I’m an alpha per se, because I’m not. But I do consider myself pretty independent. I can change a tire, lift heavy stuff, and take care of car repairs… I don’t usually call my husband for help, that is, unless I’m dealing with our nasty Ameraucana rooster who Continue Reading
May’s “New To Me” Favorites of 2011
As the holiday season gears up and 2011 winds down I find myself reflecting on reading in 2011, and books and authors that are new to me. Today I thought it would be fun to look at "new to me" discoveries I’ve made this year. Books that were released a year or more ago, but for one reason or another I have not read. I will share how I discovered them and why I recommend them. In no particular order: Series: GA Aiken’s “Dragon” series The book Dragon Actually was released in Continue Reading
Let’s Discuss: Fade to Black Sex Scenes
Mandi: Would you rather see Edward and Bella getting dirty, or when the deed is done and the lights turn back on you only see the feathers strewn about after Edward rips open his pillow because he can’t contain his hornieness? Of course, I’m not sure I really want to see Edward naked, so let’s move onto actual romance books. I recently read and loved Heartbreak Creek by Kaki Warner. Set in 1870, the heroine finds her only option in life is to become a mail order bride for a man Continue Reading
The Smexy Family is Growing
Tori and I are happy to share with you today that we have two new reviewers starting at Smexy Books! Helyce and May. I’ve been thinking for awhile now about bringing on a new reviewer or two. To keep up with reviews, Tori and I have a very strict reading schedule. Which we are not complaining about, because if we didn’t read every day, we would go insane. We have to read. But at the same time, we get these great recommendations from others, and if the book is not on our Continue Reading

Mandi’s Little Rant About Hard Bitten
**Spoilers about Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill and the series in general** I’ve been contemplating why I didn’t like the end of Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill (book 4 in her Chicagoland Vampire series). I talked about it a bit in my review, but didn’t want to go into it too much before release date. Now the book has been out a week and I need to rant again. There is a huge cliffhanger at the end and it has really bothered me. For the most part I do like cliffhangers in most urban Continue Reading
