10. Just in case you find yourself barraged with pointless questions this weekend. You know how to respond. 9. VERY pretty new cover from Jennifer Estep, Bright Blaze of Magic.

July Mini Reviews
Tori's July Mini Reviews Burning Submission by J. Richards Erotic Romance Suspense RATING: DNF This erotic romance starts off interesting enough when a young woman defends herself against an unwanted admirer while working out and catches the eye of the sexy gym owner. A suspenseful subplot develops, adding to the intrigue but then the story goes downhill when hero refers to the heroine’s vagina as “snatch.” Add in a scene where heroine goes down on hero while he’s sleeping and I was Continue Reading
Review: Playing With Trouble by Chanel Cleeton
Playing With Trouble by Chanel Cleeton (Capitol Confessions #2) Released: July 21, 2015 Contemporary Romance Intermix Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: He was an asshole, but he was definitely a hot asshole. I recently read the first book in this series (books are stand alone) and I enjoyed the author's voice a lot. I picked this book up without even reading the blurb, so when a student/professor romance hit me in the face, I was surprised. I normally don't seek out this trope, as I Continue Reading

His twin brother Beau, on the other hand, always made her blush and unable to speak. He was way up on a hero’s pedestal in her mind and so she didn’t know quite what to do when he started chatting her up at a Halloween party. That is, until she Continue Reading

Review: King of Hearts by L.H. Cosway
King of Hearts by L.H. Cosway Series: Hearts, #3 Contemporary Romance July 16, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “I fear if I made you my queen, I could no longer be a king.” I used to rule the world. There might be wolves on Wall Street, but there were crocodiles in Canary Wharf. Some of us craved money. Some of us craved power. I liked money, and power had its advantages, but what I really wanted was to excel, to surpass the men who came before me. I never Continue Reading
