Altered by Marnee Blake Released: December 8, 2015 Paranormal Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi The premise of this book really drew me in. The heroine wakes up, and the entire small town she lives in is dead. (Okay, that's not awesome but I do like end of the world type scenarios). The heroine somehow survives and the hero who is just visiting along with some other friends make it. They gain superpowers (well water was infected) and save the world. Not really, but super-hero romance Continue Reading
Our Thoughts on Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning
Mandi: Let me quickly recap. The first five Fever books are my everything. Iced was amazing. Burned - eh - I didn't love it. It felt like a filler book. I was disappointed with Jada and Mac and Barrons drama. (Previous reviews) Feverborn - more of the same disappointment. Where are we going in this story? What are we heading to? Did anything really happen in this book?? Sheena and I are going to break it down. Please be aware there are SPOILERS Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – January 15th
10. It really does. Link. 9. Alan Rickman passed away. I can't deal with it. I can't. I loved him in many roles but Colonel Brandon will always be my one true love. For those that adore Alan Rickman, you should read The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker by Leanna Renee Heiber. The hero is a dedication to Alan Rickman, and it's fabulous. 8. The cast of Friends is reuniting - kinda, sorta. A two-hour special will air February 21 to honor Dave Burrows who Continue Reading
Review: Sated by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Sated by Rebekah Weatherspoon BDSM Released: April 28, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I saw Courtney Milan tweet positively about Sated, and she linked to a B+ review over at Smart Bitches. I'm not super into BDSM, although I've read my fair share of it. This one intrigued me because I saw the hero and heroine were more on the geeky side so I decided to try it. I read it in one sitting and had a smile on my face. Keira has had bad luck in the dating department. She is super Continue Reading
Review: One Love: A Multicultural Boxed Set
One Love: A Multicultural Romance Boxed Set by Roxie Rivera, Farrah Rochon, Liliana Lee, Jill Sorenson, Genevieve Turner and Audra North Released: January 14, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce I’m not much for anthologies, but the title intrigued me and as I’d had a lot of luck recently reading new authors an anthology is a great way to sample someone new. I am also a huge fan of Jill Sorenson and I’d just read a book by Audra North and looked forward to seeing something else Continue Reading

Free Kindle l Nook I think in triangles. You think in straight lines. I show you a table and make you believe it’s a chair. Smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, misdirection. I trick and deceive. But most of all, I put on a good show. The world thinks I killed a man, but I didn’t. Bear with me. It’s all a part of the plan. Revenge is what I want. I want it for me and I want it for her. I want it for all six of us. She doesn’t remember me, but she’s the reason for Continue Reading
Review: Crazed by Edie Harris
Crazed by Edie Harris (Blood Money #3) Romantic Suspense Released: January 11, 2016 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi To recap this series. I loved, loved, loved book one, Blamed. I excitedly read book two, Ripped, but I had problems with it. I think the biggest thing is that I had the hero built up in my head based on book one, and he didn't live up to my expectations. But I went into book three, Crazed, with more of a blank slate and I really enjoyed this one. The Faraday family is a Continue Reading
Review: Hard Knocks by Ruby Lang
Hard Knocks by Ruby Lang Released: January 11, 2016 Contemporary Romance Crimson Romance Reviewed by Mandi I read Acute Reactions by Ruby Lang last year and really enjoyed it. She was a new to me author and I found her voice very fresh and smart. I was excited to see another book in this series of three girlfriends who meet in medical school and now share office space. In this book we have Helen, a neurologist and Adam, a NHL (professional hockey) player. Adam plays for a new Continue Reading
