10. Three day weekend is upon us y'all! I'm walking 30 seconds to my neighbor's house for a BBQ. I hope she is providing food and other guests ;) 9. The beard. THE BEARD. Step it back ladies and gents. I get first dibs on stroking....his beard among other things. (It's also not fair how gorgeous the heroine is). Looking forward to this one!

Looking Ahead to January
Don’t worry – Smex Scene Sunday isn’t going away. I just don’t have a good scene to post today – I blame the holidays for screwing up my reading schedule! But as I was glancing through my schedule to see what review books I have coming up, I realized January is shaping up to be a damn good month, or at least one can hope. I did get a head-start. I’ve read the crackalicious The Destiny of Violet & Luke by Jessica Sorensen, which has characters even more screwed up than Callie & Continue Reading
Tori’s Favorite Books of 2013
2013 ran the literary gauntlet from incredible never to be forgotten stories to crap I wouldn’t line my rabbit cage with. We saw the rise of emotionally angsty New Adult, erotic moody billionaire alpha hole trilogies, and intense “omg they di’nt” biker MC romances. Self publishing began to lose it’s stigma and take a larger share of the market while also contributing to the rash of plagiarism that flooded the internet. It was a crazy wild year for publishing. Below is a list of what rocked my Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–November 8th
10. This is happening. I can’t be stopped. 9. Goodreads has announced their nominees for the best books of 2013. You can vote in the many categories here. The Best Romance category includes Lover at Last by JR Ward and then pretty much every New Adult book you can think of. I’m not against the new adult genre, but come on people. No historical books? No adult contemporaries? *frowny face* (I wrote in a vote for Heart of Obsidian by Nalini Singh. Take that Goodreads). I will say the Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–August 16th
10. Last night I had the Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard from Dairy Queen. I have yet to recover. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate shavings and big bites of brownie. I may have shed some tears of joy after my first bite. 9. Samantha Young just released a new adult book titled, Into the Deep. I read it this week and I liked it but not as much as her Dublin series. This one felt very much like….new adult. The hero and heroine fall in love at the age of sixteen and then something bad happens Continue Reading
