Grave Phantoms by Jenn Bennett (Roaring Twenties #3) Released: May 5, 2015 Historical Paranormal Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed the heck out of this historical paranormal series. It took some convincing to start this series, as ghosts are not a favorite of mine (and they were the premise of book one). But many recommended this author so I read it and I've loved them so, so much. This book can be read as a stand alone but the hero has had page time previous to this book and I do Continue Reading

So bad, he ends up in a wheelchair and the doctors say there isn't much else they can do for him. So bad he will probably walk with crutches the rest of his life. His Continue Reading
Review: Colin by Sotia Lazu
Colin by Sotia Lazu (Threefold #1) Released: March 19, 2015 Erotic Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I accepted this review request because the author mentioned this: Although the trilogy eventually involves m/f/m and m/m, this part is m/f and includes voyeurism. This is book one of three, so there is no HEA. I'm a sucker for m/f/m and m/m, so I wanted to see how it all plays out. At 56 pages, not a ton of things happen, but it's a quick and dirty read. Not deep, but dirty Continue Reading
Review: Pucked by Helena Hunting
Pucked by Helena Hunting Released: May 3, 2015 Erotic Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Jane from Dear Author rec'd this book to me, and we have pretty similar tastes in our reading so I listened up. She also said it contained toilet humor, and being the only female in my house, I am quite fond (forced to be fond?) of this type of humor. This book not only made me laugh, a lot, but it turns into a wonderful, sweet and VERY DIRTY romance. The hero is a little awkward Continue Reading
