Review: City Mouse by Amy Lane and Aleksandr Voinov
City Mouse by Amy Lane & Aleksandr Voinov (Country Mouse #2) M/M Contemporary Romance March 18, 2013 Riptide Reviewed by Helyce Malcolm Kavanagh took a big risk when he went after Owen Watson, professed his feelings and asked him to stay with him in London. He really had no clue what he was getting himself into, but at that moment he just knew he couldn’t let Owen leave. It would have been the biggest mistake of his life. Owen agreeing to stay with him was the easy part, Continue Reading
The Erotic Contemporary Cliffhanger–So 2012? Or Still All The Rage?
A few nights ago I was browsing through some books, and came across Surrender Your Love by JC Reed. The cover caught my eye (hello sexy man butt crack). So I tweeted about it and put it on facebook to see if anyone had read it. A few minutes later I started receiving comments that said – cliffhanger, wait for book two, cliffhanger! It has a cliffhanger! etc… And then Tori chimed in with “Cliffhanger trilogies are becoming so 2012.” Why does it seem like every erotic contemporary (especially Continue Reading

Grave Secret (Secret McQueen #5) by Sierra Dean Urban Fantasy March 19, 2013 Samhain Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “Actions and consequences.” Oh. My. Spoilers ahead. Karma's a bitch. At the end of Keeping Secret, we learned that Lucas Raintree is the arse we have always thought he was when he leaves Secret standing at the altar while he handles a small problem for her uncle. He sends Desmond to inform Secret of his defection. *gasp* Though, I have to admit, a small part of me Continue Reading

Review: An Eye For Danger by Christine M. Fairchild
An Eye For Danger by Christine M. Fairchild June 28, 2012 Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi It’s hard for me to find new romantic suspense authors I like. I find that most of the books in this genre I try, fizzle out in the middle. And that kind of happened with this book. Maybe fizzled isn’t quite the word I’m looking for, but I think this book would have been much better had it not been so long. It has a really strong, great start and I love the set-up. But by the Continue Reading

Review: Tactical Strike by Kaylea Cross
Tactical Strike by Kaylea Cross (Bagram Special Ops #2) March 11, 2013 Military Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I like military romance and really enjoyed Deadly Descent (among other military romances) from Kaylea Cross last year. Tactical Strike features our heroine, Gunship pilot Captain Candace Bradford who is very hard working, very serious and doesn’t have time for the lusty glances that Combat Controller, Staff Sergeant Ryan Wentworth throws her way. Part Continue Reading
Review: Captive Prince Volume One and Volume Two by S.U. Pacat. AKA–Mandi’s New Favorite Series
I received a recommendation to read Captive Prince Volume one and two by S.U Pacat from both Janine at Dear Author and Brie and Romance Around the Corner (and if you follow those two links you can read their reviews). Huge thanks to them, as I’m sure I would not have picked up this series on my own. Before I continue I will say there are some rape scenes and some pretty brutal treatment of slaves in volume one. Was it hard to read? Oh yes. But those scenes have a great impact on the overall Continue Reading
