Review: Better Not Pout by Annabeth Albert

November 20, 2018 by Mandi 1 Comment

Better Not Pout by Annabeth Albert Released: November 12, 2018M/M RomanceCarina Press Reviewed by Mandi First, let me say - there is actual holiday stuff in this "holiday" romance. How many times have I read a holiday romance, with the holiday cover and title, and then be left with MAYBE one snowfall or one mention of a Christmas dinner??? Too many times to count! Better Not Pout has a hero wearing a santa suit! Thanksgiving! Lots of snow! An elf! Christmas presents! It got me in the Continue Reading

Guest Author Annabeth Albert and Favorite Military Romance Books

July 9, 2018 by Mandi 1 Comment

Greetings! I’m so thrilled to be here celebrating the release of TIGHT QUARTERS which is book six in my Out of Uniform SEAL series. This series can be read in any order, but fans of the series have been waiting for Bacon’s book, as he first made minor appearances in both WHEELS UP and SQUARED AWAY. Bacon’s co-hero is a silver fox older journalist who gets to embed with his SEAL team. This book has more military/action scenes than some of the books in this series, and I loved doing the research Continue Reading

Review: Squared Away by Annabeth Albert

April 19, 2018 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Squared Away by Annabeth Albert (Out of Uniform #5) Released: April 16, 2018 Contemporary M/M Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Guys - I've never read Annabeth Albert. What the heck, self??? I think a publicist reached out about this book asking for a guest post, and when I read the blurb I thought - ooooh, I'll give this one a try. And I ended up really enjoying this author's voice. She gives us Isaiah, biracial, and younger than Mark. And Mark, a Navy SEAL who working out his Continue Reading

Review: Exposed: A Romance Anthology

March 21, 2018 by Kini Leave a Comment

Exposed: A Romance Anthology Contemporary Romance March 13, 2018 Self-Published Reviewed by Kini I picked up this antho because it had several authors that I have never read and I thought this would be a good introduction to their writing. I have been in a reading slump so reading short stories was kind of perfect for me. I only read four of the stories and will give a brief review below. All the stories have the same general theme. One of the characters has been chosen to participate Continue Reading

First Kiss Excerpt! Wheels Up by Annabeth Albert

November 3, 2017 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Tipping his head back, Wes brushed his lips over Dustin’s chin. Huh. Guess that answered the kissing question. “You’re a good friend,” Wes whispered. “I’m really not,” Dustin said softly. A good friend wouldn’t lead Wes on. A good friend would be able to give him everything he needed, everything he deserved. “Yeah, you are. You knew what would help tonight.” Wes stretched, eyes telegraphing his intent long before his head moved, and Dustin had plenty time to pull away. But he Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

September 18, 2016 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Hero: Josiah Simmons. Nerdy, shy, video game programmer who has ADHD. Hero: Ryan Orson. Navy SEAL who lost both of his legs three months earlier in the middle east.     “Get your hand slick again, and touch your dick. Slowly. No shooting off yet.” “Can’t wait.” Josiah’s body arched up at the first touch of his slippery palm against his aching cock. “Yes, you can.” Ryan’s voice had that commanding edge Josiah was coming to crave. “Look at me.” “Yeah.” Josiah linked Continue Reading
