10. I arrived in New Orleans, or how the cool people say it, NOLA on Tuesday. I've been in a drunken haze ever since. Kidding! Bourbon Street hasn't owned me yet. *shifty eyes* Anyway - I still have two full days of this super fun conference, but I thought I'd recap the events of the past few days. Top Ten style of course. 9. I met Kristen Ashley, otherwise known as the person who created Tack. I played it cool, but it was hard. She was on a panel with Rachel Gibson and Susan Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – May 9th
10. Awww, it's Mother's Day this weekend. We usually don't do anything big for Mother's Day - but it was cute last night when my husband realized Mother's Day is this Sunday - he got that panicked look in his eyes until I was like - a bottle of wine and grill something and I'm so good to go. Maybe I should have made him panic a little longer. ;) - of course his next sentence was - "What should I get my mom?" *bangs head on table* 9. Lisa Kleypas has announced she is going to write a new Continue Reading

Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2013
My favorite sexy books of 2013. Explicit naughtiness below. In no particular order… Beyond Control by Kit Rocha – Dallas gives me the naughty shivers. And Lex is awesome. Review l Kindle “Give me this, Lexie.” HIs voice was a coaxing rumble, the gentleness a thin mask over hard command. Each time he rocked into her was a little rougher as his patience unraveled. “Tell me my cock’s the hottest thing I’ve ever fucked you with.” “You know it is.” She barely recognized her own voice, low and Continue Reading
Mandi’s Favorite Books of 2013
There were a lot of surprises for me in 2013. I fell for a lizard. An actual alien lizard. I fell for a sweeping male/male fantasy story. But there were also some authors that made my list that are no surprise at all including Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews. Let’s get to it. Captive Prince Volume One and Two by S.U. Pacat Review l Goodreads l Kindle A favorite read of the year and the trilogy isn’t even over yet! I can barely stand the wait. This is a male/male fantasy story, and while I Continue Reading
Helyce’s Favorite Books of 2013
The other day I got an email from Goodreads that reported that I had read a whopping 97 books this year. My immediate reaction was, “What? That can’t be right!” And it’s not. Mainly because I fail epically when when it comes to logging in books I’ve read that I didn’t have to review for this blog. Sadly, the real number is only about 110 which is still a bit sad. But that’s what happens when real life steps in. Going back to work has taken a huge chunk out of what was my “reading time”. You Continue Reading
Tori’s Favorite Books of 2013
2013 ran the literary gauntlet from incredible never to be forgotten stories to crap I wouldn’t line my rabbit cage with. We saw the rise of emotionally angsty New Adult, erotic moody billionaire alpha hole trilogies, and intense “omg they di’nt” biker MC romances. Self publishing began to lose it’s stigma and take a larger share of the market while also contributing to the rash of plagiarism that flooded the internet. It was a crazy wild year for publishing. Below is a list of what rocked my Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–November 22nd
10. Is this the prettiest advent calendar you have ever seen? When I wake up on December 1, this will be waiting for me, right? 9. Jane from Dear Author rec’d Shooter by Dahlia West to me this week, and I had a blast reading it. The hero, Chris “Shooter” and all of his buddies that work at a car garage are ex-military. Chris is very alpha, cranky, intense. His buddies give him a hard time the entire book which made me laugh, a lot. Hayley moves to his town and has a very dark and Continue Reading
