Five Ways Hollywood Could Bring the Rom Com Back
By May. It breaks my heart that the romantic comedy is a thing of the past. When I look at the movies I’ve seen, movies that are coming out, I see I have watched two or three new romantic comedy releases in the past three years. Seriously – where are they all? We all know that Hollywood loves to recycle ideas, as well as destroy great books by turning them into painfully lame movies. That said, let us pretend for a moment that tinsel town would put their very best people on it, not 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
Smexy’s Top Ten–June 15th
10. I’m not going to fill up today’s top ten with Magic Mike pictures again. I swear. *shifty eyes* Of course, that means you miss the red band trailer where you see Channing’s butt. Or this picture of Channing’s butt. Or this one of Matt Bomer’s butt. Or these butts. I COULD DO A TOP TEN OF JUST BUTTS! But let’s keep it classy, folks. 9. I love Charlotte Stein’s voice. She wrote Sheltered, which is a contemporary I highly recommend. And Control, which is an erotic Continue Reading
