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

Smexy’s September TBR
Angela: I have so many books on my TBR this month I don't even have room to list them all. LOL. Lord of the Last Heartbeat by May Peterson 9/2- I saw someone tweet about this book months ago and knew I had to read it. A m/m fantasy romance put out by Carina Press, who quite frankly has published some of my favorite reads in the last few years. Here's a line from the blurb: In a world teeming with mages, ghosts and dark secrets, love blooms between the unlikely pair. But if they are to be Continue Reading

Reader Feature
I love learning more about who is reading Smexy and thought it would be fun to occasionally feature a Smexy Reader on the site. First up is Mag. Tell Us About Yourself: I am a mother, wife, sister, daughter, teacher and friend. I enjoy trying new things- most recently whittling and co-leading a community ukulele jam group. While I enjoy a wide variety of activities, my favorite by far, is reading. I read several romance books blogs daily. Currently my favorite sub genre is contemporary Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Morning Reflections
Hi everyone! I'm new here at Smexy Books, but a lot of you will recognize me from my long tenure (6 years OMG) at Fiction Vixen. Fiction Vixen will be shutting down soon and right when I was deep in the middle of a FV closing depression Mandi asked me to come and join the lovely ladies at Smexy. After my excitement died down a bit, I said ABSOFREAKINLUTELY. So here I am. This post will be short and sweet since I'm still in transition mode, but I plan on reviewing, posting my TBR list and Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
Another good week of reads and kisses! Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid. This was my favorite by Reid in the Winston Brothers series. I really enjoyed the pairing of Simone and Roscoe. The book had a bit of a suspenseful element but it didn't take over the story. This is a second chance at love story and y'all may know that's one of my favorites. Roscoe's love for Simone is sweet and tortured. Simone's journey to discovering Roscoe is her person was excellent. I love Reid's voice, but some Continue Reading
