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

Review: Captive Prince Volume One and Volume Two by S.U. Pacat. AKA–Mandi’s New Favorite Series
I received a recommendation to read Captive Prince Volume one and two by S.U Pacat from both Janine at Dear Author and Brie and Romance Around the Corner (and if you follow those two links you can read their reviews). Huge thanks to them, as I’m sure I would not have picked up this series on my own. Before I continue I will say there are some rape scenes and some pretty brutal treatment of slaves in volume one. Was it hard to read? Oh yes. But those scenes have a great impact on the overall Continue Reading
