First, happy Fourth of July!! Go drink a beer and eat a hot dog! 2014 is half over and we wanted to take a moment to briefly reflect on our favorite books we've read so far this year. Tori: It’s hard for me to do lists like these. I wish I could list all the books I’ve read so far because regardless of any issues or misgivings...there is something I have enjoyed about each and everyone of them. Black Arts by Faith Hunter-A new beginning for Jane Yellowrock which blows the series Continue Reading
Review: Harlequin E Contemporary Romance Box Set Volume 2
Harlequin Contemporary Romance Box Set Vol 2 Released: June 2, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi This boxed set contains four stories, two of which I really liked, one was just okay and one I didn't like at all. I think for the current Amazon price of $3.82, it's worth it for the two stories I enjoyed. All of these stories will be available separately in September. I'm going to review them out of order from how they appear in the set. All I Have by Nicole Continue Reading

Review: Suddenly Last Summer by Sarah Morgan
Suddenly Last Summer by Sarah Morgan (O'Neil Brothers #2) Released: June 24, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Today I chopped liver that has more brain than you. I'm a big fan of Sarah Morgan, but for some reason I never picked up the first book in this series, Sleigh Bells in the Snow. May adored it last year, so when this book came around, I grabbed it and I have to say, it's one of the best contemporaries I've read this year. It was just Continue Reading

Excerpt Time! Then Came You by Jill Shalvis
July First, Jill Shalvis has a new release out - Then Came You. To celebrate, and tease you a little bit, Jill has an excerpt to share with you today. So let's get to the good stuff - a turtle, a hero and kissing. Emily cradled the turtle between her two hands while Wyatt cleaned him up and put some antibiotic cream on the nasty cut. “You poor little man,” she whispered, stroking one of his legs. “Next time pick someone nicer.” Wyatt smiled. “You’re not returning him to the Continue Reading
Review: Melting into You by Tracey Alvarez
Melting Into You by Tracey Alvarez (Due South #2) Contemporary Romance Released: June 8, 2014 Icon Publishing Reviewed by Mandi Similar to book one, In too Deep, this one is cute but at times slow. Maybe even a bit slower than the first book. I think this author has a nice voice, and her books are easy to read with likable characters, but not a lot happens. Kezia Murphy's husband died four years ago and at the same time her daughter Zoe battled leukemia - so to be standing strong in Continue Reading
