Sleigh Ride by Heidi Cullinan (Minnesota Christmas #2) M/M Romance November 11, 2014 Samhain Reviewed by Helyce Favorite Quote: “The geek was strong in this one.” From Goodreads: Arthur Anderson doesn’t want anything to do with love and romance, and he certainly doesn’t want to play Santa in his mother’s library fundraising scheme. He knows full well what she really wants is to hook him up with the town’s lanky, prissy librarian. It’s clear Gabriel Higgins doesn’t want him, Continue Reading

Review: Intrusion by Charlotte Stein
Intrusion by Charlotte Stein (Under the Skin #1) Released: November 4, 2014 Erotic Contemporary Avon Reviewed by Mandi In my opinion, Charlotte Stein is the queen of the awkward erotic romance story.

Beth lives next door to an extremely recluse man. When her dog goes missing, she gets up the courage to Continue Reading
