Jane O'Reilly writes very erotic novellas, and she often times reminds me of Charlotte Stein. I think if she had longer to tell her story, I would really fall for her voice (I think both of these stories are less than 100 pages). The sex is hot, yet I need a little more time to really engage with her characters. If you are looking for quick, very steamy reads, she might just be the author for you. The following two novellas can be read as standalones. My favorite of hers is Continue Reading

Review: Edged Blade by JC Daniels
Edged Blade by JC Daniels (Colbana Files #4) Urban Fantasy Released: February 3, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by May I’d dealt with more abuse in my life than most people had ever heard of – I’d come to grips with what my family had done and generally dealt with it in odd ways. Sometimes, I was even able to not be ashamed of it. But it made other people uncomfortable. Honestly, that’s just plain stupid to me – it happened to me – if I can deal with it, then why can’t they?

Review: Beyond Limits by Laura Griffin
Beyond Limits by Laura Griffin (Tracers #8) Released: January 27, 2015 Romantic Suspense Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi Laura Griffin can write really good suspense. In previous books I've read, her bad guys are BAD. Her heroes and heroines are smart and the books are always action-packed. My one complaint has always been the lack of romance. There is always a HEA, but the road to romance is not always super sexy or detailed. I've actually skipped her last couple because reviews have Continue Reading
