Who is Meg Maguire? Give us the low down. Oh, jeez… She’s a sort of medium-sized woman who lives north of Boston and writes contemporary romances. And longs to squeeze fat little birds (though not hard enough to damage them.) She’s also Cara McKenna’s slightly less filthy conjoined author-twin. Whose characters are slightly less kinky and usually slightly less crazy. But only usually. Strangers on a train is a five-book series featuring not only yourself but Ruthie Knox, Samantha Continue Reading

Thank You For Riding by Meg Maguire April 2, 2013 Contemporary Novella Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Note: Thank you for Riding is one of five novellas in the Strangers on a Train collection out today.

Smexy’s Top Ten–March 29th
10. Today I turn 35 years old. I’m officially in my mid 30’s. Excuse me a moment while I drink directly from the spout on my wine box to deal with this. Ok, I’m back. Where was I? Oh right. I’m 35 now. Are 35 year olds allowed to say the words Peen and Moobs? I mean – at 34, sure. I was cocky at 34. (hehe – I said cocky). I wore jeans with sparkles on my butt and drank cute cocktails. But now I’m 35. When I was 34, I shared an intimate moment with Brandon Flowers (from The Killers, my absolute Continue Reading

This town touts that they are “The Most Honest Town in Texas” with good family values and a nice place to live. Sugar’s first impression of the house they are leasing is not a good one, as it is practically falling down. But the house does have a pecan orchard, something necessary for the Continue Reading
Let’s Discuss: Lover at Last by J.R. Ward
Please note!! There are spoilers below. If you do not want to be spoiled, I wrote a spoiler-free review of Lover at Last for USA Today. JR Ward has been torturing us for years with Blay and Qhuinn. While this is my favorite series, I also tend to not love and squee over every book. Ward tends to have 1,245 different storylines and POVs in each book, sometimes distracting away from the main H/H. However – while yes we get lots of different side stories, I was very happy with Blay and Continue Reading
Review: Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost
Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost (Night Prince #2) March 26, 2013 Paranormal Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I forgive you, but only because you said please.” Smartass I thought. Then I groaned at the instant chorus of “Please!” mixed with cries for release from Vlad’s prisoners. No wonder he got so sick of the world. “I’m only merciful to one person a day,” he threw over his shoulder. “As the saying goes, today isn’t your day and tomorrow doesn’t look good, Continue Reading
