Mandi Has a New Favorite Book….
I’ve been in the mood of an erotic contemporary for awhile but was having a hard time finding one. Yesterday I was blog hopping and read an article at Romance Around the Corner about Brie’s take on erotic romance and she happened to mention Broken by Megan Hart where she says, “Broken is one of the most complex and even romantic -in a very unconventional way- romances I have read.” Brie and I have similar tastes in books and I know Helyce, Tori and Sophia (who give me many recs) all love Megan Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

And he is mighty sexy. He calls Ruby “girl” during the intimate moments. Here is a little excerpt of some cervix bumping and weeping of the sex… He deepened his penetration, making her whimper as he bumped her cervix, an intentional discomfort. “That won’t happen again. Ever. Say it.” Continue Reading

Review: Hold the Sky by AC Fox
Hold the Sky by AC Fox M/M Romance November 12, 2011 Etopia Press Reviewed by Mandi Harry is very nervous to be presenting his architect proposal to a big client. Having worked for SBC Architects for less than a year in Chicago, this is his first big presentation. Stopping to get coffee first, he runs into a very good looking man. Sexy enough that Harry doesn’t forget his face. So it shocks him, that after his presentation, the next man waiting to go into the room, is the very Continue Reading
