Review: Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai

November 29, 2017 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai (Forbidden Hearts #2) Released: November 28, 2017 Contemporary Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Sadia pressed her hand over her heart, hating the swirl of emotion in there. I think I did the same thing, while reading this book, Sadia. Alisa Rai has definitely tuned into the angsty market. If you like forbidden love, some guilt thrown in and overall fretting about choices you have made in your life, this is the book for you. Blurb: He wasn’t supposed to Continue Reading

Review: Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai

July 25, 2017 by Mandi 2 Comments

Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai (Forbidden Hearts #1) Released: July 25, 2017 Contemporary Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "You never told me why you decided your car is a woman." "Because no man could ever handle my ass for this long." Alisha Rai has a new series and it's angst-filled from page one. I enjoyed it. I've seen it mentioned that this book is like Romeo and Juliet, except with a happy ending. And that is right on target. We have two enemy families, Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

July 23, 2017 by Mandi 2 Comments

  Hero: Nicholas. Tormented. Craves a woman he can only have one day a year. Heroine: Livvy. Tormented. Craves a man she can only have one day a year. The hero and heroine have feuding families so they can not be together. They have messy pasts with a lot of hurt. But love finds a way.....   This book is very sexy, but sometimes it's the build up, that can be the most fun. The little things. Like this: His fingers went to the knot of his tie. It took her a second to Continue Reading

Review: Serving Pleasure by Alisha Rai

July 8, 2015 by Mandi 2 Comments

Serving Pleasure by Alisha Rai Released: June 16, 2015 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Serving Pleasure is a very strong romance - I've been so impressed with Alisha Rai's stories recently. I hope she writes more and more. Micah Hale was a successful artist in London, but after a vicious attack where he almost died, he lost his energy and passion. He moves to the US for a fresh start, but becomes a hermit. Rarely leaving his house or socializing, he has tried to Continue Reading

Review: A Gentleman in the Street by Alisha Rai

December 3, 2014 by Mandi 10 Comments

A Gentleman in the Street by Alisha Rai Released: November 24, 2014 Erotic Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "When do you sleep?" She glanced deliberately at her watch. "Sometime between fucking and ruling the world." This is one dirty book, with a very strong heroine and a grumpy, more serious hero. Thumbs up to this combination! Akira Mori is very, very rich. She owns nightclubs and bars and is a brilliant business woman. She is known for her orgy Continue Reading

Review: Bet On Me by Alisha Rai

May 12, 2014 by Mandi 5 Comments

Bet On Me by Alisha Rai (Bedroom Games #3) Released: April 8, 2014 Erotic Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed the heck out of this erotic trilogy and I'm sad to see it end, but it is a very satisfying ending. I highly recommend you read this series in order - they are all novella-length books, so they are quick reads. One thing that really stands out about Wyatt and Tatiana in this series is how mature they are. They have fears, and are scared of commitment and Continue Reading

Review and Giveaway: Risk & Reward by Alisha Rai

August 6, 2013 by Mandi 30 Comments

Risk & Reward by Alisha Rai (Bedroom Games #2) Erotic Contemporary Released: August 6, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read Play With Me by Alisha Rai, book one in this series and liked it a lot. It starts the story of Wyatt and Tatiana, who once were deeply in love as teenagers, but their relationship ended. Years later, Wyatt has gone from having nothing to owning his own casino in Las Vegas. Tatiana decided not to pursue science like her parents, Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

August 4, 2013 by Mandi 1 Comment

Earlier this year I read Play With Me, book one in this series. I reviewed it here. I also did a Smex Scene Sunday for that book. Book two, Risk & Reward comes out this Tuesday (I’ll review it) and I really enjoyed it. Book one ends with Tatiana and Wyatt happy, but book two goes further into their relationship and pushes them to communicate better. But enough with that. Onto the smex….   “Is the divider soundproof?” “No. You’ll have to be quiet.” Another woman might roll her Continue Reading

Review and Giveaway: Play With Me by Alisha Rai

April 22, 2013 by Mandi 31 Comments

Play With Me by Alisha Rai (Bedroom Games #1) Erotic Contemporary Romance April 2, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This scene summarizes the romance quite well in this book: Before she could marshal her thoughts to answer, he slapped her nipple again. She cried out, and he paused. “Hurt?” “Yes.” Wyatt returned to working the nipples with his fingers, both soothing and inflaming the sting. “Too much?” She narrowed her eyes at him. “Shut up and spank my tits, Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

April 21, 2013 by Mandi 1 Comment

Hero: Casio owner Wyatt Caine. Very alpha and growly in his business suit. Likes to play games in bed. Heroine: Jewelry designer Tatiana Belikov. She learned long ago what kind of games she likes to play in the bedroom, and that Wyatt was once the perfect partner. But now 10 years later they are reunited. She learns this older Wyatt is just as dirty. And she likes it. “Ready to come, Tatiana?” “Yes.” She arched her hips, an infinitesimal movement that his observant eyes couldn’t Continue Reading
