Review: Move the Sun by Susan Fanetti
Move the Sun by Susan Fanetti (Signal Bend Series #1) Released: October 27, 2013 Erotic Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi When I saw Jane from Dear Author tweet that she liked a new motorcycle club book, I immediately went to Amazon. There are a lot of things that stand out in this book. First our heroine. I adored this heroine. Lilli moves to the small, run-down town of Signal Bend and sticks out like a sore thumb. The town immediately takes notice, as does the Night Continue Reading
Guest Author Leah Braemel *Giveaway*
Thanks to SmexyBooks for hosting me and letting me talk about my newest book, Slow Ride Home. When you were a teen, did you ever do something that now you look back on and wonder “what the heck was I thinking?” Or is there a decision you made that you’d love to go back and tell your teen self that maybe it’s not such a good idea? (Would you have listened or forged ahead in spite of the advice?) I am a plotter to a certain extent, but when I originally started writing Slow Ride Home, I hadn’t Continue Reading
Top Ten Reasons to read Asking for Trouble by Tessa Bailey
“I’m going to kill you,” she whispered. He sat up once more, wrapped her hair around his fist and growled. “Fuck me instead.” Dare I say Tessa Bailey is the Queen of the Dirty Talking Hero? Yes, yes I dare! I really enjoyed this one. Brent Mason is an explosive expert (*good shivers*) or as he says “blower-up of shit” and Hayden Winstead is a heiress who plans parties for charities. Their best friends are in love so they are forced to hang out a lot – and they kind of hate each other. But Continue Reading
Review: The Chocolate Heart by Laura Florand
The Chocolate Heart by Laura Florand (Amour et Chocolat #5) Releases: November 26, 2013 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi In general, I adore this series. Laura Florand has a great voice and she gives us these amazing chef/pastry/chocolatier heroes with Paris as the backdrop and you swoon and crave chocolate the entire book. I was not a huge fan of the first book, but the subsequent books have all been great. The Chocolate Heart though falls somewhere in the Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Hero: Isaac. President of the Night Horde motorcycle club. He has a beard and long hair. He doesn’t like strangers in his town. Unless they are really sexy. Heroine: Lilli. Sexy stranger. Has big secrets and a big personality. (I found her to be awesome). She knows how to handle the men in this town. He leaned down, and she felt his beard on the skin of her shoulder.

10. Is this the prettiest advent calendar you have ever seen? When I wake up on December 1, this will be waiting for me, right? 9.

Review: All in with the Duke by Ava March
All in with the Duke by Ava March (Gambling on Love #1) Released: November 11, 2013 M/M Historical Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi It’s been quite awhile since I’ve had a new Ava March book in my hands. I really enjoy this author’s voice and this one is definitely not only one of her longer books but one of her stronger ones as well. It pairs a duke with a prostitute. Have we swooned off our chairs yet? About ten months ago, Max, the Duke of Pelham broke up with his Continue Reading
