Stealing Mr. Right by Tamara Morgan (Penelope Blue #1) Released: March 7, 2017 Chick-Lit/Romantic Suspense Sourcebooks Reviewed by Mandi I liked this book but I do have two frustrations I'll get to in a minute. Penelope Blue (I love that name and I LOVE the way the hero says it in this book - always rhyming it with a sensual undertone) grew up with famous jewel thief for a father. He amassed a great fortune in stolen goods, hid them and then disappeared, assumed dead. Penelope doesn't Continue Reading
Review: Single Malt by Layla Reyne
Single Malt by Layla Reyne (Agents Irish and Whiskey #1) Released: Febuary 27, 2017 M/M Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi What drew me into this book is that both heroes are FBI agents and one is nicknamed Irish and the other Whiskey - I love that. I also love m/m FBI stories (hello Ty and Zane!) This was an okay read but I found my attention wandering in the second half. Let me also state up front that it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. The relationship is progressing Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – March 3rd
10. Honestly - the perfect outfit for the couch is a NECESSITY. I have one picked out for tonight. 9.

Review: An Unseen Attraction by K.J. Charles
An Unseen Attraction by K.J Charles (Sins of the Cities #1) Released: February 21, 2017 Historical M/M Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi What a cute and lovely story. As someone on Twitter said, it's a gentle romance, and that's a great way to describe it. We have two beta heroes in love, but stand up for each other when it counts. Clem Talleyfer is a lodging-house keeper, meaning he is in charge of a houseful of tenants - keeping them locked up safe at night, and making sure his Continue Reading

More Than Luck by Casey Cameron (Legendary Pairs #2) Released: February 8, 2017 M/M Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I read the first book in this series recently (both stand alones) and I liked it but the romance was pretty rushed. More Than Luck worked sooo much better for me. I enjoyed it so much. This series is centered around a very popular card game called Legendary Pairs. It's very LBGTQ friendly, there are very big and small tournaments and some people make a Continue Reading
