Heating up the Holidays Anthology Released: October 28, 2013 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Play With Me by Lisa Renee Jones I DNF’d this story. Hero is this cold businessman.

Blurb: Jenny Wright can’t get enough of her erotic conversations with someone she knows only as “C.” Flirting online helps Jenny Continue Reading

10. This is the most random Top Ten ever. Weird Dr. Pepper man, sad boyfriends, balancing lizards, a virgin highlander and a sheep with a throat problem. It’s been a weird week y’all. 9.

Interview with Hayson Manning and Giveaway
Who is Hayson Manning? Give us the low down. Basically I’m terribly ordinary. My children (aka Thing 1 and Thing 2) would agree. I tried to think of ‘fun facts’ about me and came up with this rather pathetic list. I can make my eyes shake. How’s that for a party trick? No double-jointed Circque du Soleil yoga moves for me. Nope, I can make my eyes shake until people run screaming. My brother and I used to do this for hours. Clearly the smart gene didn’t roll the Manning way. I’ve watched Continue Reading
Review: Winning the Boss’s Heart by Hayson Manning
Winning the Boss’s Heart by Hayson Manning Released: September 9, 2013 Contemporary Romance Entangled Publishing Reviewed by Mandi This book has a super broody hero and a heroine who likes to give him a hard time.

He has never quite recovered from the guilt he felt and has submerged himself in work. He flips houses into retreats for high-end clients and his next Continue Reading
