10. Right? Damn it real men - get with it. 9. A few notes from Nalini Singh.

Review: The Darkest Day By Britt Bury
The Darkest Day by Britt Bury (Immortal Heat #1) Paranormal Romance July 3, 2012 Forever Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I do no’ need you anyhow.” “Oh no?” She looked down his body. “That thing tenting your pants just called you a liar.” The Darkest Day is the start of a new paranormal series I’m pretty excited about. My initial thought while reading is how it has a Kresley Cole vibe to it. I like to call it, ‘Immortals After Dark – Lite.’ Not quite as violent, not quite as Continue Reading

Megan Hart Kills Mandi Yet Again
Is it adultery when it’s not a secret? When there are rules? Can you be unfaithful to someone who’s given his permission? A while ago I read my first Megan Hart book, Broken and it is one of the best books I’ve read. I then went on to read Dirty and Stranger (I must space her books out, they take so much out of me) and I enjoyed them. Dirty was really, really good. Stranger – I didn’t like Sam as much, but Jack completely stole my heart. By chance, I had Tempted in print Continue Reading

Let’s Talk Blogging And Twitter
I’ve been blogging for over three years now. Which may seem like a long time to some, and probably not that long to others. Either way, I spend a lot of my day on my blog, or just online in general. I’ve learned a lot in the past three years about blogging, promoting my blog, and the type of blogger I want to be (or have become). There is a lot we can discuss about the blogging world. Each week seems to bring about new drama, or new rules we should be following. I don’t want these Continue Reading

After that night, Evan runs away, and Jace never hears from her again. Evan was living out Continue Reading
Review: Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas
Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas (Fitzhugh Trilogy #2) Historical Romance July 3, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Some hopes were weeds, easy to eradicate with a yank and a pull. Some, however, were vines, fast growing, tenacious, and impossible to clear. As she played the music box again, alone in the drawing room, she began to realize that her were of the latter kind. She would never stop hoping. The first 90% of this book is absolutely incredible. The angst Continue Reading
