Hooking Up by Helena Hunting Released: November 7, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi All I wanted was a nice wedding. Instead I end up with a husband who gets a blow job during our reception - and it's broadcast to everyone attending. I've enjoyed Helena Hunting's voice in the past - she usually makes me giggle and highlight all of her over-the-top silly quotes. Her books are super fun. Hooking Up is also fun, and a great read, but it's not as raunchy and goofy Continue Reading

Review: Rewritten by Bronwyn Green
Rewritten by Bronwyn Green (Bound #8) Released: September 27, 2017 Contemporary/BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This one had its ups and downs for me. For the most part I enjoyed it, but it did have a little slower beginning and a rushed ending - and I wasn't super into the BDSM aspect of it. But the hero and heroine are cute together. Angus is a Scottish popular sci-fi author who has a hit a rut. A big rut. He was going to end his series, but then was offered a bunch of money Continue Reading

First Kiss Excerpt! Wheels Up by Annabeth Albert
Tipping his head back, Wes brushed his lips over Dustin’s chin. Huh. Guess that answered the kissing question. “You’re a good friend,” Wes whispered. “I’m really not,” Dustin said softly. A good friend wouldn’t lead Wes on. A good friend would be able to give him everything he needed, everything he deserved. “Yeah, you are. You knew what would help tonight.” Wes stretched, eyes telegraphing his intent long before his head moved, and Dustin had plenty time to pull away. But he Continue Reading
Review: Ready for Wild by Liora Blake
Ready for Wild by Liora Blake (Grand Valley #3) Released: October 31, 2017 Contemporary Romance Gallery Books Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and picked this one up without even reading the blurb. Had I read the blurb, I may not have proceeded: Blurb: Braden Montgomery is certain about three things: one, luck is for suckers; two, time spent outdoors is what keeps him sane; and, three, when it comes to sharing his bed, there’s only one female he’s Continue Reading

If you are already an Audible member it's an additional $6.95 per month, or if you are a new subscriber, $14.95. A few thing that Audible Romance offers: "Take Continue Reading
Review: Touch of Red by Laura Griffin
Touch of Red by Laura Griffin (Tracers #12) Romantic Suspense Released: October 31, 2017 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi This is my favorite romantic suspense series - I'm a huge fan of suspense in general. Almost 100% of what I listen to is suspense (not necessarily romantic) and the darker the better. (Shout-out to Karin Slaughter). Touch of Red is not the creepiest or grittiest of Lauren Griffin's work, but it's still enjoyable, even with a slightly annoying heroine. Brooke Porter Continue Reading
Review: Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates (Copper Ridge #10) Contemporary Romance Released: October 24, 2017 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Honey, I only know how to be inappropriate. And I think you like that about me." I'll start every Maisey Yates review by saying she is my go-to comfort read author. The story arcs and the set-up all might be a little similar, but I like it. I know what I'm going to get with a Yates book. Her heroes seem to be always a little gruff - Continue Reading
