Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai (Forbidden Hearts #2) Released: November 28, 2017 Contemporary Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Sadia pressed her hand over her heart, hating the swirl of emotion in there. I think I did the same thing, while reading this book, Sadia. Alisa Rai has definitely tuned into the angsty market. If you like forbidden love, some guilt thrown in and overall fretting about choices you have made in your life, this is the book for you. Blurb: He wasn’t supposed to Continue Reading
Review: Save a Truck, Ride a Redneck by Molly Harper
Save a Truck, Ride a Redneck by Molly Harper (Southern Eclectic #.5) Released: October 26, 2017 Contemporary Novella Pocket Star Reviewed by Mandi It wasn't until I finished this novella, and went to the series list on Goodreads to see when the first, full length book was coming out, that I realized this is a prequel of sorts to Sweet Tea and Sympathy, a book Tori recently reviewed. Tori loved that book by the way - so I will have to check it out. This book has a really cute and Continue Reading
Review: Melting Snow by Leora Gonzales
Melting Snow by Leora Gonzales (Braving the Heat #1) Released: November 21, 2017 Contemporary Novella Lyrical Press Reviewed by Mandi When I agreed to review this one, I didn't realize it was only fifty pages. On top of that, it ends at the 80% mark on the kindle. So we are talking short. But that wasn't the most frustrating thing in this book - I disliked the hero sooooo much. Winter Snow is our heroine, in her mid twenties and struggling financially to make it through college. She Continue Reading

Review: Most Eligible Bastard by Annika Martin
Most Eligible Bastard by Annika Martin Contemporary Romance Released: November 7, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed Annika Martin's (aka Carolyn Crane) voice for some time - her books usually involve zany bad guys and are erotic. This one doesn't have a bad guy - just a hero who starts off a little....bastardy. But he is actually a great guy - it just takes some time for that side to be noticed. Henry Locke is the CEO of a very large construction/poperty company. He Continue Reading

Early Excerpt for Heart on Fire by Amanda Bouchet!!
The riveting conclusion to the Kingmaker Chronicles. GODS. I'M AN IDIOT. Without Griffin—and apparently a few meddling Gods—to push me along, I'd still be telling fortunes at the circus, lying about my past, ignoring my future, and living as far away from my tyrant mother as humanly possible. True understanding thuds into place. Hope isn't just an abstract concept; it's me. Flesh and blood me. Griffin knew it all along. Probably everyone did. I'm an idea in human form. I have Continue Reading
