To Be Read – January
One of my favorite things to do is to scan through upcoming releases and prepare my TBR pile to be filled. Here are a few books I’ve found that are coming out in the next couple months that look good to me. One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean – January 29. This is book two in Sarah MacLean’s The Rules of Scoundrels series. This one excites me because the heroine loves science and research. The hero is a bookkeeper of The Fallen Angel, a gaming hell. And I believe he is a ginger. Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway: Tigerland by Sean Kennedy
Tigerland by Sean Kennedy (Tigers & Devils #2) Contemporary M/M Released: October 15, 2012 Dreamspinner Reviewed by Mandi Tigers & Devils is one of my all time favorite books (you can read my review here).

When he falls in love with the very famous Australia football star, Declan, their relationship in that book was sweet, although strained as they made their way through intense public scrutiny. Declan Continue Reading
