Review: Romancing the Billionaire by Jessica Clare
Romancing the Billionaire by Jessica Clare (Billionaire Boys Club #5) Released: November 4, 2014 Contemporary Romance Intermix Reviewed by Mandi I was disappointed in this one which bums me out because this series has been a lot of fun. The heroine and I did not get along in this book. Her lack of communication with the hero and her wishy-washy self-made me have a frowny face for most of the book. When Violet's famous archaeologist father passes away, he leaves her an envelope with a Continue Reading
Review: Caged in Winter by Brighton Walsh
Caged in Winter by Brighton Walsh (Caged in Winter #1) Released: November 4, 2014 New Adult Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read two adult contemporary romances by Brighton Walsh and really enjoyed them. When I heard she was publishing with Penguin, I got excited. I don't read a ton of new adult, but her previous books were very smartly written so I thought I'd give Caged in Winter a try. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Winter works at a bar that forces her to wear a very Continue Reading

I turn and look at him over my shoulder, lifting my chin in challenge. "No." "Good." A while ago, Tori texted me and demanded that I read Sweet Filthy Boy by Christina Lauren. I'm not going to lie - I scrunched my nose at it (I mean - a Continue Reading

Review: Blamed by Edie Harris
Blamed by Edie Harris (Blood Money #1) Released: November 3, 2014 Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: --her phone chimed with an incoming text. "You...you need to let me look at that." "I need my cock inside you, is what I need." (damn boy!) I was hooked on this book from the first page of the prologue.. Which is kind of funny because when I got to the end of the book, I had forgotten about the prologue (first chapter goes back in time) and then my Continue Reading
