When Urban Fantasy Loses Tori’s Trust
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do: When Urban Fantasy Loses My Trust – by Tori. When I read a certain genre, I have certain expectations. I expect Romance to be an emotional love fest, Paranormal Romance to be a love fest between supernatural entities, and Urban Fantasy to kick arse and take names in a world similar to mine. As a long time reader of Urban Fantasy, I have always been of the opinion that the main defining appeal of this genre is the low key or utter lack of romance. It’s not called UFR Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–March 15th
10. Best thing ever? Why have I never eaten out of the hood of my backwards hoodie? I will now set a goal to eat ALL THE HOOD FOOD. You might not even need your hands. Brilliant. (Link.) 9. I loved Sins & Needles by Karina Hall, the first book in her Artists Trilogy. The author has now released a prequel novella. I’m going to read it this weekend, but from what I hear (and for those that have read S&N) you may actually LIKE Javier after this novella. Which will just spin Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten- March 1st
10. It’s Friday. It’s time for cat pizza. (Yes, it’s only the beginning of the top ten list and I’ve already resorted to cat pizza. It’s that kind of Friday). 9. Kate gave me the heads up that the prologue and first chapter of Lover at Last can be found at this Amazon UK site. I skimmed it, but I haven’t read it in full yet. It makes it more painful to wait I think! 8. Ilona Andrews has posted an extended snippet (chp 1 and 2) for Kate Daniels #6 aka Magic Rises. They also hint that book Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–February 8th
10. I’m completely obsessed with the Lizzie Bennett Diary videos. Beyond obsessed. Unfamiliar? They are a modern adaption of Pride & Prejudice told in Vlog style. Completely adorable and they capture the book so well. Darcy and his awkward flirting makes me die swooning. There are currently 86 episodes and each one is 3-4 minutes long. We are getting towards the end, as Wickham and Lydia’s drama is now unfolding. *bites lip* This above gif make me smile so much. Yes Darcy – 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
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
