Mandi Actually Read a Book on Vacation! (and liked it)
Usually when I go on vacation, I maybe read one chapter. Just one lonely chapter. I find myself getting caught up with my kids or doing things like - not relaxing in a chair so I can read. But this most recent vacation lacked my children and had plenty of lounging by the pool time - so I read an entire book and a half! (I probably would have read more if I didn't have tequila in my other hand at all times). I win at life. (also lose at life after I discovered a humongous cockroach in my Continue Reading
Review: Master Cole by Marie Tuhart
Master Cole by Marie Tuhart Erotic Romance Trifecta Publishing House Released: February 19, 2018 Reviewed by Sheena Full disclosure. I'm no hardcore BDSM enthusiast but I like the stuff and think of myself as reasonably acquainted with the stuff, certainly versed enough to recognize that there is a whole hell of a lot more to being a good Dominant than just telling your sub to sit and wait for you naked every now and then coupled with a few lazy spankings and half-hearted training.

Smex Scene Sunday
Hero: Powell, park ranger bear shifter, loner. Heroine: Olivia, blind wolf shifter (unable to shift), promised to the alpha of the pack, but has run away.

Easy Bake Lovin’ by Maggie Wells
Easy Bake Lovin’ by Maggie Wells Play Dates #2 Contemporary Romance March 6, 2018 Lyrical Shine Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Normal is a fantasy,” she said, craning her neck to peer over her shoulder at him. “Reality is messy, but so much better.” This is the second book in Wells’ series about single dads and the women they fall for. I reviewed the first book, Play Dates, last year. I liked this one about the same. It was okay but wasn’t great. Georgie is a baker with a Continue Reading
Review: Thirsty by Mia Hopkins
Thirsty by Mia Hopkins Eastside Brewery, #1 Contemporary Romance March 13, 2018 Loveswept Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “You want a hero. Before we start, you should know---I’m not him. I’m not your hero. A hero is Prince charming, a firefighter, a cowboy. He's handsome and perfect. He’s probably white. He has his shite together. None of that is me.” Salvador (Sal) Rosa has just been released from prison after serving a five year stretch for boasting cars and other Continue Reading
