Hearts of Fire by L.H. Cosway (Hearts #2) Released: March 9, 2015 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm a huge fan of L.H. Cosway's books, each one not only so different from each other, but just different from a lot of romances out there. In Hearts of Fire, she takes us to a small traveling european circus called, The Circus Spektakulär. Jack McCabe is a very talented fire-eater/breather who performs in this circus. The small group of people who work with him have Continue Reading
Review: Misfits by Garrett Leigh
Misfits by Garrett Leigh Released: March 16, 2015 M/M/M Romance Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I haven't read a good male/male and oh yeah - one more male book in a while.

But there is more than sex to this story and I believed in the three-way HEA at the end. Tom and Cass (psst - Cass Continue Reading
