Review: Making Up by Lucy Parker
Making Up by Lucy Parker (London Celebrities #3) Released: May 28, 2018 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I highly recommend this author if you have yet to try her. This is the third book I've read by her and they have all been adorable and sweet and sexy. In Making Up, we return to the theater, but in a burlesque/acrobatic show. The Festival of Masks is a little bit of everything - lewd humor, amazing aerial skills, singing, dancing and it's a very popular show. When Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – May 25
10. I'm back, bishes!! I'm sorry the Top Ten has been gone for so long. I didn't really intentionally stop it. It's just that real life didn't give out a lot of breaks recently. But now summer is upon us and I feel like I have some breathing room!

Review: How to Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger
How to Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger (Claw & Courtship #1) Released: May 13, 2018 Historical Paranormal Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Gail Carriger writes such cute, quirky books and in this novella (although it felt like a long novella) she gives us a grumpy werewolf hero and a human heroine who loves to collect rocks. Faith had an indiscretion with a werewolf in Boston (it's hinted at in the blurb and you will learn more about it as you read) and her family shuns her and Continue Reading
