The Chocolate Rose by Laura Florand (Roses #1) Contemporary Romance April 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read The Chocolate Thief by Laura Florand and it was okay, not great. Then she asked me to review The Chocolate Kiss and I thought I’d give her books another shot. Thank goodness because The Chocolate Kiss is an absolutely adorable book that I highly recommend everyone read. So I was very curious to see how a third book would hold up. And I’m very Continue Reading
Review: Hurricane Lily by Rebecca Rogers Maher
Hurricane Lily by Rebecca Rogers Maher Contemporary Romance April 15, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: For the love of all that was holy, she was about to be fucked by the handyman. And the handyman has a beard! Anyone else excited? The heroine does get dirty with her handyman but it’s not quite as simple as it sounds. This author starts this book with two characters deliciously layered with deep, emotional problems. By all accounts they should have Continue Reading

Review: Bad Attitude by K.A. Mitchell
Bad Attitude by K.A. Mitchell (Bad in Baltimore #3) M/M Contemporary Romance April 23, 2013 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi I’m a K.A. Mitchell fangirl and I’ll proudly say that. I started reading her maybe a year ago, and glommed her entire back list. Man, that was a good time. She writes very erotic m/m books but conveys so much through her love scenes. And she gives us flawed characters and explores them and makes them suffer a bit before finding true love. I just think she is a Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway: Play With Me by Alisha Rai
Play With Me by Alisha Rai (Bedroom Games #1) Erotic Contemporary Romance April 2, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This scene summarizes the romance quite well in this book: Before she could marshal her thoughts to answer, he slapped her nipple again. She cried out, and he paused. “Hurt?” “Yes.” Wyatt returned to working the nipples with his fingers, both soothing and inflaming the sting. “Too much?” She narrowed her eyes at him. “Shut up and spank my tits, Continue Reading

Review: Kentucky Home by Sarah Title
Kentucky Home by Sarah Title April 18, 2013 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi When I received this review request I first noticed Sarah Title is a debut author, which I am always eager to try and then the horses on the cover drew me in. Giddy up. This one very pleasantly surprised me. When it first starts we meet Luke, who is the hero’s brother. Luke left his family’s Kentucky horse farm to move to DC and explore other adventures. He met Mallory at a business Continue Reading
