10. The naughty corner is a good thing, right? 9. Last week during the RWA conference, the Ritas and Golden Heart winners were announced! You can see a list of the winners HERE. I was happy to see Laura Griffin win for Scorched. I think she is one of the best romantic suspense authors out there. I also adore Sarah Morgan’s contemporaries. And Sarah MacLean has a nice historical voice. 8. I think Derby Girl by Tamara Morgan is one of the most striking covers I’ve seen. I love Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–July 12
10. I don’t know about you guys, but I have a Sharknado hangover. One of the cheesiest movies I’ve ever seen, also one of the most epic. I’m not sure I’ve heard my kids laugh quite so hard as they did last night. The best part? (well besides Ian Ziering cutting his way out of a shark with a chainsaw) was watching the movie while watching Twitter. It was an epic Twitter event. I love you Twitter. 9. When I saw She’s Got Dibs by AJ Nuest rec’d over at Fiction Vixen and then saw a rec from Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2012
Nothing better to kick off the new year by revisiting some of my favorite sex scenes of 2012. Apparently, paranormal peen didn’t do it for me this year. (I did think about including Lothaire but I only have it in print and I lent my book to someone so I didn’t have it to copy out a scene. Sadness!) You can revisit Favorite Sex Scenes of 2009 and 2011. (2010 got no love for some reason.) Feeling Hot by Elle Kennedy Review l Kindle When I heard on twitter the words “there is a blow job scene Continue Reading
Mandi’s Favorite Books of 2012
This was my year of the erotic contemporary. I fell in love with some new authors (hello Tiffany Reisz). I fell in love with some new pen names (hello Kit Rocha). I fell in love with already established authors who for some reason I had never read (hello Megan Hart). And I continued my love affair with Ty and Zane (hello Abigail Roux). So let’s get to it, shall we? The Siren and The Angel by Tiffany Reisz. This series pushes my boundaries. I think this author has done a fabulous job 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
