A few titles I’m looking forward to coming up in February. You can check out my previous January post as well. Winterblaze by Kristen Callihan – February 26. Thanks to the prodding of many of my friends, I read book one, Firelight in this paranormal historical series and really enjoyed it. Bonus – book two is pretty awesome as well. Very excited for book three in this series. Each book has a new HEA, but I recommend starting from the beginning. Goodreads l Kindle Lord of Darkness Continue Reading
Review: Running Wild by Linda Howard and Linda Jones
Running Wild by Linda Howard and Linda Jones. (The Men from Battle Ridge #1) November 27, 2012 Contemporary Romance Ballantine Reviewed by Mandi I’m not huge on romantic suspense stories that involve stalkers. They frustrate me because I feel like either the stalker isn’t really a viable threat or the heroine doesn’t take her safety seriously, making me roll my eyes. So when this story started, I braced for frustration, instead I was impressed with the stalker and the story Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten Reasons to be Thankful…

Single. Day. And who make me buy books Continue Reading

Her Kowalski series has quickly gone to one of my most anticipated series. In this book we get a hero who was so Continue Reading

He was the only person to survive that explosion, and later gets blamed for it. He deserts and ends up in a place called the Underlight, Continue Reading
