Heart of Obsidian by Nalini Singh (Psy/Changeling #12) June 4, 2013 Paranormal Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi There has been much build up and secrecy with this book in the months leading up to publication. Who is the hero? Who is the heroine? Is the Ghost involved? I’ve gone back and forth trying to figure out how to review this book and not give away answers to those who are trying to avoid spoilers. But at the same time, it’s hard to review a book when I can’t mention characters Continue Reading
Review: Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare
Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare (Spindle Cove #4) May 28, 2013 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by May Another girl’s prince had arrived. That was Pauline’s first thought, when she stumbled in and spied the finely dressed man silhouetted in the door. She watched it happen every few months in this village. These young ladies sought refuge in Spindle Cove for the oddest of reasons. Their harp-playing lacked grace, perhaps, or the color of their eyes was unfashionable at Court this Continue Reading
Review: Bare it All by Lori Foster
Bare It All by Lori Foster (Love Undercover #2) Romantic Suspense April 30, 2013 Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: “I’ll fill you up, Alice. And I swear you’ll enjoy it.” I loved this book! I wasn’t supposed to have read it because it took me out of the order I was reading in, in an effort to stay on top of my review books; but once I started it, I could not put it down. It’s usually like that when I read a Lori Foster book and I just had to continue because I would never Continue Reading
Joint Review: Down London Road by Samantha Young
Down London Road by Samantha Young (On Dublin Street #2) Released: May 7, 2013 Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi and Tori Mandi: After really enjoying Samantha Young’s adult debut last year, On Dublin Street, I was intrigued to see what she would do in her second book. Down London Road turned out to be a somewhat darker, more intense book than Dublin, and I really like the direction Samantha takes. The author takes great care in getting the reader to know Johanna or Continue Reading

Review: Sinner’s Heart by Zoe Archer
Sinner’s Heart Zoe Archer (The Hellraisers #3) Historical Paranormal Romance April 2, 2013 Zabra Reviewed by May “Welcome back to London, Hellraisers,” Bram said. “You’re just in time for the end of the world.” When Bram speaks these words, he isn’t kidding. The five friends known as the Hellraisers unleashed the devil himself upon the world so that they could indulge in their vices and enjoy life. The problem, of course, is that the price is not what it seemed and the world as they know Continue Reading
Review: Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux
Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #7) April 1, 2013 M/M Romantic Suspense Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “You’re the best partner I could have asked for.” I always like to make the disclaimer when I write these reviews that I’m a fangirl for this series. Meaning – I’m so incredibly invested in Ty and Zane (they are my favorite characters in all of romance) that my reviews of these books are not necessarily objective. Things that may annoy others or not work Continue Reading
