Sharp by Alex Hughes (Mindspace Investigation #2) April 2, 2013 Futuristic Suspense Roc Reviewed by Mandi Going by the number of Goodreads and Amazon reviews for this series, I say – this is the best series you are not reading. It’s like JD Robb meets Jim Butcher. Set in the future, with a strong murder-mystery suspense element, the world is the result of a Tech war, where millions died and technology can no longer be trusted. Our hero, Adam is a very high-level telepath who Continue Reading
Review: Love Irresistibly by Julie James
Love Irresistibly by Julie James (FBI/US Attorney #4) April 2, 2013 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Thank God I’m not wearing the red high heels today,” she said. “In two minutes you’ll be wearing nothing,” he said in a low voice. Well, then. Julie James puts out one book a year and the wait is torturous but I’d wait even longer if it means she will continue to put consistent high quality romance books. She writes smart, mature Continue Reading
Reviews: Strangers on a Train Collection
A while ago, Ruthie Knox, Meg Maguire, Serena Bell, Donna Cummings and Samantha Hunter were on Twitter admiring a tumblr devoted to hot men on trains and the idea for the collection came to be. Earlier today I reviewed Thank You for Riding by Meg Maguire. Now I review the other four stories. All can be purchased separately and they are not related to one another. Big Boy by Ruthie Knox Mandy’s life has gone into an upheaval in the past year after her sister and her family were killed by a Continue Reading
Review: The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn
The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn Historical Romance April 2, 2013 Avon Reviewed by May Happily Ever After is a series of second epilogues for the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn.

Let’s Discuss: Lover at Last by J.R. Ward
Please note!! There are spoilers below. If you do not want to be spoiled, I wrote a spoiler-free review of Lover at Last for USA Today. JR Ward has been torturing us for years with Blay and Qhuinn. While this is my favorite series, I also tend to not love and squee over every book. Ward tends to have 1,245 different storylines and POVs in each book, sometimes distracting away from the main H/H. However – while yes we get lots of different side stories, I was very happy with Blay and Continue Reading
Review: Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost
Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost (Night Prince #2) March 26, 2013 Paranormal Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I forgive you, but only because you said please.” Smartass I thought. Then I groaned at the instant chorus of “Please!” mixed with cries for release from Vlad’s prisoners. No wonder he got so sick of the world. “I’m only merciful to one person a day,” he threw over his shoulder. “As the saying goes, today isn’t your day and tomorrow doesn’t look good, Continue Reading
Review: Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston
Wolf With Benefits by Shelly Laurenston (Pride #8) Paranormal Romance March 26, 2013 Brava Reviewed by May The hybrid studied the jackal for several long seconds before he nodded. “Schedules, I understand.” Then he looked down at Reece and roared in his face, “Schedules! Learn the concept!” I must begin this review by stating that Mr. Novikov (aka my favorite character in this series) got a good amount of page time and scenes – which delighted me endlessly. I simply adore him because he Continue Reading
Joint Review: Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep
Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #8) Releases: March 26, 2013 Urban Fantasy Pocket Reviewed by Tori and May Red is definitely my color. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot. Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like me— Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—it’s just part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop, Ashland’s fanciest art Continue Reading
