Review: Never Tear Us Apart by Monica Murphy
Never Tear Us Apart by Monica Murphy (Never Tear Us Apart #1) Released: January 5, 2016 New Adult Bantam Reviewed by Mandi This book and I did not get along. From the blurb and skimming review on Goodreads, it looked dark and angsty - and I love some dark and angsty. I didn't find that however. Maybe I'm just bitter and old? I found the blossoming romance between our hero and heroine kind of hokey. Their thought process about each other was so over the top, I rolled my eyes the entire Continue Reading
Cover Reveal: Reaper’s Fire by Joanna Wylde
Blurb New York Times bestselling author Joanna Wylde returns to the “wild and raw”* world of the Reapers MC with the story of Gage and Tinker… The club comes first. I’ve lived by those words my whole life—assumed I’d die by them, too, and I never had a problem with that. My Reaper brothers took my back and I took theirs and it was enough. Then I met her. Tinker Garrett. She’s beautiful, she’s loyal, and she works so damned hard it scares me sometimes . . . She deserves a good Continue Reading

Review: City of Light by Keri Arthur
City of Light by Keri Arthur (Outpost #1) Urban Fantasy Released: January 5, 2016 Signet Reviewed by Mandi I love when I see a new urban fantasy series - but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be reading book two of this series. Here is the blurb: When the bombs that stopped the species war tore holes in the veil between this world and the next, they allowed entry to the Others—demons, wraiths, and death spirits who turned the shadows into their hunting grounds. Now, a hundred years Continue Reading
Guest Post: Rose Lerner’s Favorite Fictional Servants *Giveaway*
My new historical romance, Listen to the Moon, is about a very proper valet and a snarky maid-of-all-work who marry to get a plum job. So I thought I'd share with you... My Ten Favorite Fictional Servants (in no particular order) 1.Amy from The Ordinary Princess by M.M. Kaye I loved The Ordinary Princess when I was a kid. And most of all, I loved the part where Amy ran away to be a kitchen maid. I could have listened to descriptions of her job in the kitchen all day (I guess it's no Continue Reading
Review: Listen to the Moon by Rose Lerner
Listen to the Moon by Rose Lerner (Lively St. Lemeston #3) Releases: January 5, 2015 Historical Romance Samhain Reviewed by Mandi First review of 2016 and it gets an 'A' grade! A good start to the new year. A historical romance where the protagonists are not wealthy. They are not of the ton - they have worked in service their entire lives. Our hero is John Toogood. A valet for a wealthy family, after the war and a family fight, he is let go. Oh the embarrassment. He has some money Continue Reading
