Interview with Maya Banks
Who is Maya Banks? Give us the low down. I’m the most boring person on the planet. I live in a cave. I like routine. I have a twisted sense of humor and am very likely to be amused by things normal people wouldn’t. I always joke and say that my readers would be surprised at how shockingly conservative I am (based on what I write lol) I’m easily traumatized by the TMI department and there are some things I can go my entire life without knowing. Really. Softly at Sunrise, a KGI novella Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
The heroine: Flora. Plumber and works at a diner. Stubborn and independent. She likes her smexin’ with no strings attached. The hero: Jacob. Part of a triplet with two other really hot brothers. He has a thing for sexy plumbers. “It’s neat.” She leaned over and kissed the edges of the swirling design that covered part of his chest and shoulder. It wasn’t large, or tacky. It was…pretty, but masculine too. His hands stroked along her sides and she took her time kissing across his chest, licking Continue Reading

Review: Trust In Me by Skye Warren
Trust in Me by Skye Warren (Dark Erotica #2) Erotic Contemporary/Erotica February 14, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I’m very attracted to books that are dark, disturbing and erotic and my friend Sophia knows this, so when she heard about Trust in Me, I ended up with a gift on my Kindle. The book starts with a note from the author in which she states, “I must warn you that this is a disturbing tale, one that starts dark and gets darker.” She goes on to warn of nonconsensual Continue Reading
Review: Mark and Tony by LB Gregg
Mark and Tony by LB Gregg (Men of Smithfield #1) Contemporary Romance August 6, 2012 (re-release) Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi This book is a revised and re-edited version of a book previously titled Gobsmacked. I read it a couple of years ago, and I enjoyed it the second time around just as much. LB Gregg now has it rereleasing with Carina Press, and I couldn’t be happier that people get another chance to read her Men of Smithfield. This one still remains my favorite. Mark Meehan Continue Reading

Review: Stars & Stripes by Abigail Roux
Stars & Stripes by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #6) M/M Romantic Suspense August 13, 2012 Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Oh Jesus Ty. Are you okay?” Ty closed his eyes again. He tried to speak, lips barely moving. “What?” Zane asked as he leaned closer. “I hate Texas.” If I had to write a one sentence review of this book, I’d probably say, “Ty wears a Stetson while doing dirty deeds to Zane.” Is there really anything else you need to know? Seriously, some hot Continue Reading
