Review: Sustained by Emma Chase
Sustained by Emma Chase (The Legal Briefs #2) Released: Contemporary Romance Gallery Reviewed by Mandi Long, long ago I tried Tangled by this author, and I didn't like the hero. I can't remember exactly why, but he just didn't work for me. So I never tried her again - but then Jane from Dear Author told me she thought I'd like this one, so I gave it a try. And she was right! I giggle-snorted through this sexy romance. Jake Becker is a very successful criminal defense attorney. He has Continue Reading

Review: Anything But Broken by Joelle Knox
Anything But Broken by Joelle Knox (Hurricane Creek #1) Releases: August 25, 2015 New Adult Self Published Reviewed by Mandi What does Moira Rogers and Kit Rocha have in common? Joelle Knox! Yes, the writing tea of Bree and Donna have added another pen name to their collection - Joelle Knox writes new adult. It's less erotic than Kit Rocha. It's a contemporary, unlike their paranormal romance as Moira Rogers and it's a voice I absolutely loved. They give us angst, a heroine struggling Continue Reading

I Continue Reading
