I’ve about 280 books this year, and it just so happens that 20 of them were five star reads for me. Some of them are books released prior to 2011, but all of them were read this year. Contemporary: Sweet as Sin by Inez Kelley (Review) This book is surprisingly dark with such a tortured hero. He is brutal and not always easy to like, but written so well. The Reluctant Nude by Meg Maguire (Review) This book hit me hard. So many emotions went through me as I read and it is one of Continue Reading

May’s Favorite Books of 2011
This is not a list of all the good books I read this year, not even all the great books I read this year. This is a list of my personal favorite books I read in 2011. I have to admit that I have a very healthy TBR pile, and more “best” reads could very well be lurking in there. Some of my favorite authors are not on this list because I did not read a “best ever I loved it sooo much” book from them this year, which is a bummer. Also disappointing me is that I do not have a lot of strong Continue Reading
Tori’s Favorite Books of 2011
2011 has been a big year for my library. I was introduced to new authors, became reacquainted with old authors, and even had a few break ups. I wish I could list every book I’ve read this year in here because there were hundreds that were wonderful. As usual, I went a little overboard on my list. I hope you enjoy. :) Immortal Rider (Lords of Deliverance, #2) by Larissa Ione (Review) The second installment of the Ione’s sexy, funny, action packed Lord Of Deliverance series takes us for quite Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten-November 25th
Tori here. I’m doing this weeks top ten so take your finger OFF that the mouse, sit back, and enjoy. 10. Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone and I feel like a baby elephant.

Now it is time to drag out the Christmas decorations and get into the holiday spirit. 0_o 9. I decided to break my never breakable rule and do some Black Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–November 4th
10. Trick or Treating has come and gone and I have to say we had a successful night. My 5 yr old went as an “old man with a walking stick” (his idea!) and my 7 year old was Jack Sparrow. We sneak out of our street (which is dark, and the houses aren’t very close together) and go to a big development near my parents. All the houses do such a nice job decorating and making it very festive for the kids. We had a good time. 9. Gena Showalter has released the cover for Wicked Nights, the Continue Reading

Review and Giveaway: Aftermath by Ann Aguirre
Aftermath by Ann Aguirre (Sirantha Jax #5) Sci-Fi August 30, 2011 Paperback Ace I’ve probably said this in every Sirantha Jax review I’ve written, but I’ll say it again. I don’t read a lot of Sci-Fi. The thought of Sci-Fi just doesn't appeal to me. It’s like one step too far past paranormal and I don’t have interest. But long ago, someone recommended Grimspace by Ann Aguirre, and I picked it up. And I loved it. I can’t help but to compare Sirantha Jax to Kate Daniels (from Ilona Andrews Continue Reading
