Review: Into the Shadows by Carolyn Crane
Into the Shadows by Carolyn Crane (The Associates #3) Released: July 16, 2014 Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi It's going to be hard for another book this year to impress me more than this one. Into the Shadows has great suspense. It has a tortured, broken, scarred hero who is an undercover villain. It has a heroine who is a former party hostess to her villain father who now kicks butt. And it has dirty, dirty sex. A damn fine combination. Thorne had a very bad Continue Reading

Review: Harlequin E Contemporary Romance Box Set Volume 2
Harlequin Contemporary Romance Box Set Vol 2 Released: June 2, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi This boxed set contains four stories, two of which I really liked, one was just okay and one I didn't like at all. I think for the current Amazon price of $3.82, it's worth it for the two stories I enjoyed. All of these stories will be available separately in September. I'm going to review them out of order from how they appear in the set. All I Have by Nicole Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway: For the Longest Time by Kendra Leigh Castle
For The Longest Time by Kendra Leigh Castle (Harvest Cove #1) Contemporary Romance July 1, 2014 Signet Reviewed by Helyce I’ve been a fan of Ms. Castle for years now.

Review: Suddenly Last Summer by Sarah Morgan
Suddenly Last Summer by Sarah Morgan (O'Neil Brothers #2) Released: June 24, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Today I chopped liver that has more brain than you. I'm a big fan of Sarah Morgan, but for some reason I never picked up the first book in this series, Sleigh Bells in the Snow. May adored it last year, so when this book came around, I grabbed it and I have to say, it's one of the best contemporaries I've read this year. It was just Continue Reading

Review: Tequila Mockingbird by Rhys Ford
Tequila Mockingbird by Rhys Ford (Sinners #3) M/M Romance June 27, 2014 Dreamspinner Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: I barely know him, and it’s...so fucking huge...this thing. Him. Me. Everything. Rhys Ford has fast become a favorite author of mine in the m/m genre. Her unique brand of humor mixed in with her slightly tortured heroes with a pinch of suspense are the perfect combination for a successful story in my book. I have to admit, though, that the teaser she left us with Continue Reading
