What are your intentions? By May. Recently I read a short story that I quite enjoyed, and when I went to the author’s website to find out if there would be more (it was an Urban Fantasy type world), what her plans were, and if I could expect another installment soon I found nothing. No information at all other than the fact that the book in my hands was coming out. This got me thinking (and ranting to fellow Smexy reviewer Tori) about author intentions and I wanted to write up my thoughts on Continue Reading

Joint Review: Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep
Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #8) Releases: March 26, 2013 Urban Fantasy Pocket Reviewed by Tori and May Red is definitely my color. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot. Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like me— Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—it’s just part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop, Ashland’s fanciest art Continue Reading
May’s Top 12 of 2012
Oh how to choose the best books I read this year? I’ve decided to get tough, and I am sharing with you today only twelve books I adored in 2012. These are personal favorites, those that stood out above the crowd. I’m sorry to say some favorite authors of mine didn’t make the list this year (better luck next year, ladies!) and yes, many of my favorites you’re likely to see on other smexy lists this year. Without further ado, here are twelve books I give my hearty stamp of approval and highest Continue Reading
Series: Know When to Walk Away, Know When to Run
By May. Just a few nights ago I sat down to order the Tara Janzen “Steele Street” series as a gift. If you’re not familiar with it – it’s a very sexy, fun, over the top romantic suspense series that has plenty of black ops, twists, intrigue, hot cars, and smexy time. Anyhow, as I went to order I realized that there are eleven books in the series. This made me frown, because I can only recall about five or six that I read and loved. Which leaves about half the series that I definitely Continue Reading
Helpless Females Need Not Apply
By May. As a kid I loved Wonder Woman, and as an adult I’ve already shown my girls that original series as well (and they loved it too). Rainbow Brite, She-Ra, Princess Tiana, Mulan, and now Merida too. There’s a lot of awesome fictional females that rule in this house and for good reason – who wants a helpless heroine? Personally, I will take emotionally stunted, physically disabled, vulnerable, unpredictable, crazy, killer, badass, potty mouthed, super nice, or even insecure heroines but do Continue Reading
Review: Widow’s Web by Jennifer Estep
Widow's Web by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #7) August 21, 2012 Urban Fantasy Simon & Schuster Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: This was a matter of the heart – and one problem that all my knives and all my prowess as the Spider wouldn’t help me solve. Gin Blanco is an assassin. Oh, she’s semi-retired and she tries to live her life as normally as she can now running her BBQ joint the Pork Pit and spending time with her friends, sister Bria, and her lover Owen. But things happen, Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–April 20th
10. I love shoes, but I need a shirt that says, I <3 Books, Booze and Boys with Tattoos. Ha! But THIS shirt is awesome. 9. The cover is now out for K.A. Mitchell’s August release, But My Boyfriend Is. No blurb yet and yes I know August is so far away. This is #4 in her Florida series – which can be read as stand alones, but I adore this series and if you haven’t read it yet, get going! I suggest starting with Collision Course (book #2), then read No Souvenirs, and then go back to book #1, Continue Reading
