Guest Author Leah Braemel *Giveaway*
Thanks to SmexyBooks for hosting me and letting me talk about my newest book, Slow Ride Home. When you were a teen, did you ever do something that now you look back on and wonder “what the heck was I thinking?” Or is there a decision you made that you’d love to go back and tell your teen self that maybe it’s not such a good idea?

Top Ten Reasons to read Asking for Trouble by Tessa Bailey
“I’m going to kill you,” she whispered. He sat up once more, wrapped her hair around his fist and growled. “Fuck me instead.” Dare I say Tessa Bailey is the Queen of the Dirty Talking Hero? Yes, yes I dare! I really enjoyed this one. Brent Mason is an explosive expert (*good shivers*) or as he says “blower-up of shit” and Hayden Winstead is a heiress who plans parties for charities. Their best friends are in love so they are forced to hang out a lot – and they kind of hate each other. But Continue Reading
Review: The Chocolate Heart by Laura Florand
The Chocolate Heart by Laura Florand (Amour et Chocolat #5) Releases: November 26, 2013 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi In general, I adore this series. Laura Florand has a great voice and she gives us these amazing chef/pastry/chocolatier heroes with Paris as the backdrop and you swoon and crave chocolate the entire book. I was not a huge fan of the first book, but the subsequent books have all been great. The Chocolate Heart though falls somewhere in the Continue Reading
