Pixie Dust by Laura Lee Paranormal Romance December 31, 2011 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi There was something about the blurb that really appealed to me in this review request. *A lonesome fairy with no clue how to wield her powerful magic. *A ruggedly handsome warlock torn between his past and his present. *A five hundred year old, sinfully sexy vampire who's obsessed with solving the mystery of a particularly interesting bartender. Karli Lane is the only fairy left on the Continue Reading
A DNF Wrap-Up
May and Mandi have had a few DNF’s (Did Not Finish) recently. Here is a recap: Lucky Penny by Catherine Anderson Reviewed by May The heroine is a single ‘mom’ (she cares for her orphaned niece), and apparently she would be unable to find work unless she pretends she is married and her husband out searching for gold in Colorado. I would have to think orphaned children were more common back then, and I just can’t figure out how taking care of your niece would be such a social Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday
As his hands roamed over Cavin’s back, his hips, his firm arse, Benjamin reveled in the blunt honesty of their kiss. The stark unbridled lust, the voracious need. Nothing tempered. Nothing held back. Why the hell had he waited so long to experience this? Bloody fool. Cavin’s hand fisted in Benjamin’s hair to tug his head back, breaking the kiss. Teeth nipped at his bottom lip. A tongue licked up from his chin. As it made to pass his lips, Benjamin captured Cavin’s tongue and sucked on the Continue Reading

Review: Something About Witches by Joey W. Hill
Something About Witches by Joey W. Hill (Arcane Shot #1) Paranormal Romance February 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “No man should look that good in a pair of jeans,” Linda noted. “Temptation and sin never come in ugly packaging,” Ruby returned, but she watched right along with her until he disappeared into the house. I’ve read a few of Joey W. Hill’s Vampire Queen series and really liked the darker, erotic BDSM feel to them. Something About Witches is actually Continue Reading

Guest Review: Awake Unto Me by Kathleen Knowles
Awake Unto Me by Kathleen Knowles F/F Romance January 17, 2012 Bella Distribution Jill Sorenson is back with another guest review! Bold Strokes Books is a publishing company known for lesbian romance. They also publish other types of gay fiction and m/m. Many of their titles are available on NetGalley, and whenever I request one I get instant approval. I like that! I also liked this book very much. I’m a sucker for cross-dressing heroines in m/f historical romances, so I find Continue Reading
Guest Author Ruthie Knox and Giveaway
A Journey Like No Journey That’s Been Journeyed Before Romance novel cover copy is fond of the travel metaphor. “An incredible journey...” “An emotional journey...” “A heart-tugging journey” — there’s a lot of journeying happening, which makes sense, I suppose, since heroes and heroines have to do something with all that baggage. <rimshot> My debut novel, Ride with Me, takes the whole journey thing one step further by being about an actual journey. On bicycles. Rather than Continue Reading
