Mile High! Mile High! Mile High!!! Saturday, September 17th




Sorry we’ve been absent this week. We’ve been crazy busy trying to get books read and I was in Denver Tuesday and Wednesday at the Blink 182/A Day To Remember Concert. And yes, it was fan-fucking-tastic! An absolute blast, but I am so happy to be home. I missed my Kindle. I might have slightly missed my children, too.

Oh my gosh, you guys! I can’t even believe that the Mile High Author Event is THIS weekend! TWO short days away! This has crept up on us and we haven’t had a chance to read everything that we had originally planned to. That would have been a small miracle with how many amazing authors there are attending this event and how few hours there are in a day. We are still incredibly excited to meet all of these spectacular authors and all of our fellow smut enthusiasts! We have a couple more reviews for you guys tonight. Stroked by Meghan Quinn & WILD by Adriane Leigh.

Stroked is the story of Olympic swimmer Reese King and Personal Assistant Paisley.

Reese is stuck in a fake relationship(set up by his publicist) with conceited and, I’m pretty sure, mentally unstable, socialite & heiress, Bellini Chambers.

Paisley is forced to take a job as Bellini and Reese’s PA in a last ditch effort to make it in the world of film production. She gets more than she bargained for…

There are chapters written in Bellini’s POV and I am going to be completely honest… I had an extremely hard time reading her perspective. I skimmed a lot of it. Well, almost all of it after the first chapter. She is abhorrent, self-centered, delusional, a horrible human being, and completely bat shit crazy. I wanted to strangle her with my bare fucking hands. I would have had zero remorse. I’m sure of it. I haven’t felt such disgust for a fiction character since Dolores Umbridge. Anybody that knows me, knows that means this is serious.

I waited for there to be reasoning behind her POV being included, but it never came. I’m still not exactly sure why it was added. A fellow reader had mentioned that it might have been for the role Bellini played toward the end of the book, but I still don’t feel she was necessary for character or story development. You could tell just how atrocious she was from the other two POVs.

She, however, did not completely ruin this book for me. It was still sexy, funny, sweet, and had that slow burn quality I love so much.

This is a solid 4 star read!

We can’t wait to meet Meghan this weekend at the signing.


WILD by Adriane Leigh

WILD is the first in a trilogy. It is the story of Lane Wild and Kat Kennedy.

Kat moves to a small town in Maine to escape a life she no longer wants to live. She is closed off and not interested in a relationship. She makes this abundantly clear.

The book starts out with her remembering the happenings of a drunken one night stand. Or so she thought it was…

She starts seeing this sexy AF mystery man all over this small town and discovers his name is Lane Wild. Known just as, Wild, to everyone else.
He’s harboring a few secrets of his own.

Will they open up and let the other in, or will their secrets consume them? Life isn’t always like a fairytale. Happily ever after doesn’t always work out for everyone.

I give this book 5 stars. I truly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read Ridge (#2) & Slade (#3).

We are so excited to be meeting Adriane and all the other authors at the event this weekend!

Welcome all smut lovers!

Steph’s Introduction.. When the idea of starting a blog first materialized in my brain, I knew immediately, that it had to be resolutely centered around books. Books, books, books. Bookie, book, books… (You all know you just read that in your best Ron Burgundy voices). Specifically, romance and erotica. Or, as the R&E community like to affectionately call it, smut. There’s something about a beautiful love story laced with hot, sometimes kinky, sex that just gets my mind racing. In a good way. Gets my motor running, if you know what I mean? *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* I originally battled with starting the blog on my own, but quickly realized that creating it with my best friend, my person, would ensure that no matter what the outcome, I’d have that funny bitch to keep me entertained! MaRanda and I decided that a little Q&A to help you get to know us a little bit better would be a good way to start.. I’m also including my playlist that I listened to while I ty

J.A. Essen in the house...

ANOTHER TAKEOVER over in our Facebook group tonight ( S-n-M Book Blog )! Join us in some shenanigans when Author J.A. Essen takes over and shares a little piece of himself with all of us. 7PM MST/8PM CST/9PM EST is the time. Since we can’t possibly let an author takeover without letting everyone know how very much we love and appreciate them MaRanda will be sharing her reviews and wanted to say a little something about J.A. MaRanda – So, once upon a time I heard of this author... he wrote about some elves... elves? So off to this far away land I went, where these elves... WERE FUCKING FANTASTIC!!! Who knew?? Right?? I mean, I LOVE Paranormal Romance, I do. I hadn't ever heard of elves, and let me tell you... it is PHENOMENAL!! And that, my lovely friends is where it all started. I DEVOURED his book Perilous Love. I'm absolutely not exaggerating either. I read that book so fast (and we all know by now, MaRanda is not a fast reader... right???) and I skipped s
