Making it Last by Ruthie Knox (Camelot #4) July 15, 2013 Contemporary Novella Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I love it when authors give us a hero and a heroine who are already established. Even better, Ruthie Knox earlier this year gave us a novella showing us how Amber and Tony meet and fall in love in How to Misbehave (I gave it a B+ just like this book). Now we get this couple again, ten years later. Three kids later. And the magic of brand new love has worn off. Amber is Continue Reading

Review: The Seduction Hypothesis by Delphine Dryden
The Seduction Hypothesis by Delphine Dryden (The Science of Temptation #2) May 6, 2013 BDSM Nerd Romance (woot!) Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read the first book in this series and liked it but didn’t love it. So I’m happy to report The Seduction Hypothesis is super cute and sexy. With the trope of a ‘Nerd BDSM romance’ it delivers in both the nerd and BDSM aspects. Ben and Lindsey were dating and doing great, but then Ben panicked and got confused and dumped Continue Reading
Review: Night Vision by Yasmine Galenorn
Night Vision (Indigo Court #4) by Yasmine Galenorn Urban Fantasy July 2, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “Life is often an illusion, Cicely. Illusion that is very real, very strong, but still-place the right amount of force on the right spot and it breaks.“ Night Vision, the fourth installment of Yasmine Galenorn’s dark and sensual fae fantasy, picks up right where Night Seeker ended.

Review: In the Arms of the Heiress by Maggie Robinson
In the Arms of the Heiress by Maggie Robinson (Ladies Unlaced #1) July 2, 2013 Historical Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: ”What will happen if they discover we’re not really man and wife? This scheme might be considered proof of your insanity.” Louisa’s brown eyes widened. “Do you think I should be institutionalized?” “I wouldn’t wish that on the other patients.” This book made me smile a lot.

Review: Enthralled Anthology
Enthralled Anthology by Lora Leigh, Alyssa Day, Meljean Brook, Lucy Monroe Paranormal Romance July 2, 2013 Berkley Trade Reviewed by Tori I’ll be honest, when I saw Alyssa Day and Meljean Brook had stories in here, I begged, pleaded, and promised unsavory things to get Enthralled. I’m glad I did. Not only did I get the promised goodness I knew would come from Day and Brook, but I was also able to sample some of Lora Leigh and Lucy Monroe. I have heard of both authors but had not yet Continue Reading
